    I’m verging towards betting Pogo here. I think that 4-1 is a really tempting price, and that he ran well in defeat last time.

    I also like Dubai Poet at 12-1 as well though, so I’ll wait to see the confirmed runners before committing

    Chindit is 5/7 in non group 1’s and 6/8 if you include his maiden
    two Newbury runs was 3rd in the Lockinge beaten 5 lengths by Baaeed but was ahead of Alcohol Free
    and other was a Greenham win as a 3 y/o
    giving a bit of weight away here but if he is around 9/2, 5/1 on the day I’ll be playing him
    agree that Pogo is in decent form and pretty consistent and make him the danger

    I had a feeling that you’d be on Chindit Nathan, good luck with him, and you do make a fair case

    Chindit does do ok when aimed at realistic targets.

    48-hour declarations due tomorrow morning so, unless you think a race will cut up and prices collapse, why risk an ante-post bet?

    Smart move to wait IMO.

    Pogo at 4-1 for me, and I’ll also have a smaller bet on Dubai Poet at around 12-1

    Double Or Bubble loves this fast ground, it won’t be a drought forever so might be a good time to catch her especially in this form. She kept on well in the July Cup and would have been closer had she been on the far side of the track.
    Step up to 7 is fine, the only doubt I have is the track as she is unraced there but she seems pretty versatile.

    Double Or Bubble 13/2

    Along with the Geoffrey Freer a shockingly poor quality race

    Agree, it was very poor for a Group 2.

    A horse which has been consistently well beaten in handicaps runs out a convincing winner of a race just one notch below the top level.

    OK, maybe the smaller field and different pace and rhythm from a big field handicap has suited him better. But it still looks like a weak Group 2.

    The fact that Jumby has been a cliff horse for me in handicaps this year and I did not back him yesterday has no bearing on my assessment of the race…
