Impressive in both starts to date, could be anything. At the beginning of the year Leocorno was at the head of most people’s Oaks candidates, including mine. Was thinking of backing her in that. If she would have been good enough to win the Oaks; she’d be good enough here.
Take The Hint won the Pretty Polly and the form has been working out well. Form suggests she she has the best chance of winning, but the stable is in very poor form. When pricing up a race you have to include how likely she is to run to form.
July Jasmine is a stable companion of the favourite and her price is probably due to being a second string rather than form / potential. Horses generally need experience to cope with Lingfield’s “flat” round course. Did well to finish second, all be it some way adrift of Midday. That experience will have done her good and can improve greatly.
Flying Cloud won a good race in France for Andre Fabre and has potential. Or should that be “had” potential, now with Godolphin.
Flame Of Gibraltar is only a maiden winner but is well bred. Has a lot to find on form, but obviously is another who could improve.
Mooakada is in my 10 to Follow lists, but disappointed at Newbury, though still has improvement in her. Like Take The Hint, has a 29 runner losing run to overcome from the Gosden yard.
Uvinza ran well in that Newbury race just in front of Mooakada, but the winner has been beaten since and not certain she’ll stay. Has pulled.
Anicestilato comes from the Look Here yard, was thought their Oaks filly this term but disappointed in the Lingfield Trial. Bit free on reappearance and curiously first time blinkered, why?.
It’s Dubai Dolly would not win if she starts now. My prices go down to 0.005% 2000/1, and she is not worthy of that.
My 100% book.
Leocorno 13/8
, Take The Hint 4/1,
July Jasmine 11/2
, Flying Cloud 12/1, Flame Of Gibraltar 18/1, Mooakada 20/1, Anicestilato 28/1, Totally Devoted 40/1, Uvinza 100/1
Am on July Jasmine with half a bet on Leocorno.
Value Is EverythingCompletely fail to see why Ryan’s supposedly bad record at Royal Ascot has anything to with anything myself.
Is there a reason why? Doesnt ride course well? Dont think so…. Hes a republican maybe? Gets distracted by the women?
Anyway, Gosden horse for me. Should be favourite on achivement and thats enough for me
Was at Lingfield to see July Jasmine’s run behind Midday and made a note to back it next time so here it is. I think there’s bundles more to come and SMS’s first winner is a bit overdue at this point. July Jasmine please.
Well that’s gutted me out entirely.
Don’t have the faintest clue what to blame that loss on. She might go better on easier ground, but if she ain’t good enough it doesn’t help Midday’s claims much.
Ridden too close, perhaps? I didn’t like that as she didn’t have complete cover and was unsettled early on.
I won’t employ a search party to find out why, just cop it and move on.
Sucks, as I was considering Flying Cloud highly until I put a block on considering any Godolphin horses.
