    It went pretty much how I thought with Manguzi, so it’s onto the 2.40 now.
    XY Jet seems all the rage, but I’ll take a chance that Tato Key can get his
    head in front after a couple of decent efforts at Maydan recently. 14/1 seems
    a decent price, and I’ll cover myself going e/w again.

    Yes it looks a mouthwatering match up, Almond Eye V Dream Castle Jac. I was going to
    just sit this one out without a punt, but my e/w with Manguzi is just sitting there, so
    I’ve had another e/w touch at 4o/1 with Century Dream. There are a few in this that
    I don’t know much about, but I do recall CD only going down by 3/4L to Roaring Lion in
    the QEII Stakes at Ascot, giving him 3 lbs. He’s not really fired in his 2 runs at Maydan,
    although 2nd Mythical magic wasn’t a bad effort, so if he’s settled in a bit better he
    could just take a place. I’ve taken him with Willie Hill who are 4 places. Looking
    forward to this one :good:

    Thank you so much Jac, NW and Nathan :bye:
    Jac it might not be enough for a cruise , but at least I got a straight grand back and could travel to the Black Forest or something :yes:
    I’ve never tried drugs in my life, but it must have been a similar feeling :yahoo:
    Nathan, I particularly enjoyed your formulation after the prep “that was a bit of condition to my untrained eye” ;-)

    Almond Eye is so fantastic :good:
    To be honest she was my only smaller reinvest of the day :yahoo:
    I even see her as the first serious contender from Japan for the Arc,
    but we have to wait and see.

    Almond Eye, so impressive, definitely has a excellent chance in the ARC to break the duck for Japan :good:

    Old Persian is a lovely horse and may well bolt up here, but I think they
    are very much overlooking Racing History who was only nabbed on the
    line by OP last time out, and was very unlucky not to get his head in front
    of Spotify the time before. I’m certainly not saying he is better that old
    persian, but 6/4 for OP and 16/1 for RH just doesn’t stack up to my eye. I’d
    be disappointed if RH isn’t placed here, his worst run of the 4 he’s had at
    Maydan, was 3rd behind Dream castle. I think he’s a solid e/w 4 places with
    Hills.

    Great day NW :good: (knew you would cross over eventually). ;-)

    I was also on Auxerre in The Lincoln at 4/1, Cross Counter, Blue Point and Old Persian with just Thunder Snow to run in the UAE World Cup I have him at 4/1. :rose: Hoping he defies that no.12 draw :yes:
