    Here”s a tough one to get stuck into! The Wokingham 0-110 6f handicap
    108 decs will be narrowed down to about 27 on the day, should a 105 rated
    horse get top weight then bottom weight could still be around the 96 mark
    that would already have 50% of the field out of the race! My initial reaction
    to this race is <b>Sonny Red</b> stands out at the weights! This fellow ran
    in a Craven Stakes and finished 2nd.He has ran against Group horses too!
    Zidane beat him in a good Abernant by 1/2l when Sonny was rated 108! His current mark of 96 should get him into the race and i think 25/1 is a fair
    price! His Trainer is the “Sprint King” and i am “The Ante-Post King”! We
    are never far away! I also like the look of <b>Abraham Lincoln at 34</b> The
    likes of Evens and odds and Valery Borzov have been hit hard by Trotters
    Exuberance in the saddle! A clip round the ear for you Adrian my friend!

    To be honest I dont start to consider this until the weights come out normally…..

    However, jumping out at the first decs are Excuse Moi and Evens and Odds.

    I’ll be interested to see what weight E&O gets for this considering this should suit him a lot more than the Victoria Cup. Didnt seem to fire at all last time

    "Excuse Moi" for saying Halfway, but The Great St Wilfrid victory was nearly 3 years ago! He won at Ripon the other day off 85, even off his current mark of 92, i think he will struggle just to get into the race!
    I went to Doncaster just to watch the sprint "Palace Moon" won, Evens and Odds ran well to come third, then subsequently annihilate a decent
    field at Newmarket, both off 90, he is currently 99, has been rated 104
    so it will be the last Handicap for him should he win! He wants fast ground
    but on his day is a Listed winner in waiting! 9-4 and fast ground makes the
    20/1 look tempting!!

    The 4.05 at N’ket on Sunday afternoon is also a relevant race. When I had a quick look at it and the betfair market last night it persuaded me to snap up all the 46 (all £2 of it – actually, £1 at 42, and £1 at 50) about Musaalem.

    Anyway, I’ll make sure that I will watch the race tomorrow.

    I can’t believe I missed out studying the 3yo Coral Sprint H’cap at N’ket this afternoon. It used to be one of my favourite races, as it is a stepping-stone to the William Hill Trophy at York (think it now has a new sponsor?).

    Halfway, it is becoming increasingly apparent to me that You seem to be the only person on this forum that can put it down to TAPK, keep up the good work! I like your Foresight!

    Something

    has got to be in the mix, so long as he gets in the race
    after yesterdays performance at Epsom, 26 on the machine is worth the risk!

    I hope the opening poster’s scatter-gun like ray is set on lucky for saturday, as i’m keen on Abraham Lincoln for this also, still available at better than 40.0 by the way.
