    Not really my kind of race, but I do like what I’ve seen of Pista this year.

    I was going to wait at current price, but Buick is booked, so I’ll take a chance.

    Took a wee bit more at 12’s, but not much, as it’s hardly a race I’d be going mad in, and I’m not that confident she’ll actually trap.

    I am torn between Alpinista and Pista, but looking at Pista entries the horse has the option of running in the Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes group 3, 19 Sep at Gowran park over a distance what looks too short 9.5 furlongs. Will Pista run here is the question but I think Alpinista will probably turn up. I predict the going will be good by Thursday.

    Yeah Mike, I’m always wary with those who have other entries, but thought it was worth a small go. No surprise at all if she’s a no show.

    VTC I think if was her target to win a stayer group 2 I am sure her price would be shorter than 12/1, the price is lovely. I can’t see her running over 1 mile 1 1/2 furlongs when her big improvement came at longer distances. That is what is puzzling me.

    Agree Mike, this target certainly makes more sense. It’s just the fact that the price is so good, that’s what’s worrying me.

    Joseph has 5 entries in that race at Gowran and the other 4 look more fitted to that race than Pista.

    Very strange entry IMO, maybe they are just rolling the dice in case it cuts up with a big weekend ahead. Either way, there is the Comer Group Irish St Ledger they could’ve entered her for. A race won by 3yos the last 2 years, one by a filly. So i’d say it’s worth chancing they go here for the “easier” race so to speak.
    Joseph has 3 entered, one, Might Blue is declared to run tomorrow in Ireland. Will they just run Pista + Traisha both here?!

    I’d like to think Alpinista will be hard to beat in this, but Pista would rate a very good bet in my view at 12s vs 5-2.

    I liked Monica Sheriff’s York run, but i think her form suggests good ground won’t be her ideal. Maybe they’ll take the chance anyway.

    So both Pista and Alpinista are both running at the 48 hour declaration, I still don’t know which one to back so I will probably sit it out.

    Given Monica Sheriff’s best form is on softer than the ground is likely to be i’d happily price Pista shorter than her.

    Believe in Love i guess could be anything, but winning soft ground handicaps with 5pd claimers etc is a different kettle of fish to this IMO.

    I find it hard to separate the two myself Mike, but at the price, i think Pista has more scope to shorten again, especially now we have a dead 8.

    I don’t rate Snow’s Irish form (watch her win now) and Vivionn for all she is a decent filly has her level.

    Jack I waiting to see what odds other bookies give, only WH is offering prices. Maybe I will do a rare R Forecast on the two of them. With Monica S and I believe love I don’t think the going will be right for them as you pointed out with their best results are with give in the ground. With dry weather forecast I expect the going to be good by Thursday.

    I’ve always liked Vivionn, and like Stouties older distaffs generally.

    Hoping lto has brought her along nicely and the additional distance can eke some improvement out.

    Even though she’s a Dubawi, I do think a sounder surface will suit better, and she has won at Donny before. Her last win actually, albeit in a much lower grade.

    I do like the filly who beat her last time, and think 2nd was a really nice run.

    Prescotts filly is feared of course, but 8/1 Viv is a nice e/w working man’s price.

    Vivionn 8s e/w, Viv / Alpanista RFC.

    BUY THE SUN

    I believe in love as low as 6/4 now and the best price on pista is now 11/2. WD people who took 12/1 ante post on pista.

    The dreaded rule 4 for anybody who took a price after the 48 hour Decs before the new market was formed. 30p reduction, ouch.

    Like Siskin this race is working out nicely for me antepost-wise, hopefully unlike Siskin this one might actually return something though!
