Always like to give this race a go Antepost, and Hills have it priced up…
On first look, Master The World jumps out a big looking 40’s. Win this well in 2017, subject of a fair old gamble as well, and I think that this might be the plan. Don’t think he’d have got to the winner in this last year, but should have been closer, having met plenty of traffic problems. Currently off the same mark he won off in this, and for a horse who only wins occasionally, a quick check shows that he’s due.
I’ve got Zhui Feng and Bowerman in the shortlist for The Bunbury Cup, but I’d be equally keen here, but like The Newmarket Race, not in a rush to bet them for this, with other possible targets.
Breden is s horse I really like, and he’s a real late bloomer. Ran a screamer in The Lincoln, and he looks the type to get continually overlooked. As long as he’s continually overpriced, that’ll do for me.
Two horses who have disappointed me are Battered, and Chilean, but not given up on either of them, and particularly interested in seeing Battered out soon.
One horse who ran better than expected at Royal Ascot was Fanaar. His run in The Britannia was excellent, and I’d have him alongside Battered as #2 to Master The World right now.
Certainly not backing two this far out, but even at this stage, I’d be happy to take 40’s for Master The World.
No bet yet, but not far off it…
Master The World 40’s
Agreed Kris, a lot to take from that win yesterday, and as much as 10’s would be short for me right now, it might not look too shabby in a few weeks time. Tempted.
Still haven’t bet Master The World yet either, but he’s still up there for me.
I took some of the 10s after Saturday. Should improve on Saturdays run, Shouldn’t go up too much, and given a decent draw he should be perfectly placed with his prominent nature for Goodwoods quick track.
If he goes he’s probably 7/2 on the day.
Wouldn’t he be a big contender for the dreaded bounce? Probably career best off a long layoff?

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!I don’t think he had a hard race TBH. Dettori steadied it up and kicked easily enough and only gave him IIRC one tap.
Could bounce, definitely won’t say he can’t, but a good 4ish week break is ideal to let him recoverMissed the 10’s myself Kev, so I’ll probably just hold off now and bet on the day, at much reduced odds.
Dark Vision 16/1
Good run LTO at Newmarket, think he can go close at the track he won well at as a 2YO last year. Mark of 103 is very fair now, down almost a stone from his highest mark.
I’ve normally played this long before now, but as much as I’m kicking myself for not betting Mojito earlier, the flip side is that I look to have saved money by not betting Master The World.
Fresh look at it then (I won’t bet Mojito now), and Zhui Feng really stands out. Liked him for a few races recently, but not actually bet him yet. Caught the eye in The Hunt Cup, and he should be competitive here. 40’s is fair.
I also like Seniority (20’s), and Zwaayan (33’s), but I might just wait for final decs now.
The draw will play a big part. Mojito won’t win if he’s drawn 20 of 20.
I’m on Escobar at 10s.
Now lets see what the draw does.
Happy enough with the draw for Zhui Feng, so I’ve decided to go singlehanded in this, and had a decent top up each way to six places.
Very tricky race Mojito, Escobar and Indeed bring the winning form and are all ahead of the handicapper officially. Of the three I’d favour Escobar who got no luck in running here last year when travelling as well as any off 1lb higher, he’d have the least to prove of the three having run well from higher marks in the past but he’ll need the luck again with Spencer on top around here.
What’s The Story shaped very well in the closing stages of the John Smith Cup and Seniority’s prep just smacks of trying to get him back again here for a follow up attempt, very light campaign, Ryan Moore on top again. I’d love to see Zhui Feng go well he’s an old favourite and if he gets a soft lead here he’ll be hard to peg back at a course he likes.
In the end I’ve backed Baltic Baron each-way in the first time visor, 2nd run after a gelding op. We all know how well O’Meara tends to do with his french recruits and this one feels like a slow burner they’re just getting to the bottom of, I’ve noticed they changed how they rode him at York last time out. He’s handicapped on what he’s done but I’m banking on what he’s done being someway below what he might be capable of. Hopefully tomorrow he’ll show it on the track from a good draw.
Doing a little PR for @Lostsoldier this morning. Ladbrokes & Coral going 1/4 odds 5 places today
sis places with Skybet guys!!
I am on GAME PLAYER at 10/1 and Baltic Baron at 20/1 but Mojito could be the handicap blot!!
Third stab to go along with Mojito & DV (Badly drawn, will do very well to win) –
What’s The Story 12/1
Been following this beast all season, bolted up at York after a good return run, then ran much better than the 12th position shows travelling very well up until the furlong marker and fading right out of it up to the line. Travelled like the best horse at York last time but Hanagan was caught sleeping and had to switch whch by that time Pivoine was away and gone. Strong traveller which suits this course, officially 3lbs well in and a great draw in 3. Think he’s a great each way bet at the prices.
