    As much as 6/1 vandeek was overpriced, inisherin @3/1 is equally that, so ill be adding him in, purely drifting because the crisfords had two winners today… he is by far the best of all of these, excluding vandeek if he has trained on

    6/1 vandeek is way overpriced if he’s fully fit, inisherin albeit has looked good, in a horrendous division so far

    Vandeek if training on (obviously should improve for the run) and doesnt go a walk in the betting on the day, shouldnt be 6/1

    Im very pro you paid the entry you do as you like, but jesus, the euphrates and euphoric where ridden purely to give LA a seemless run up the rail, moved off it on the bend so there was no chance of anything bar a clear rail run, its upto the other jockeys to stop this of course, but nothing was winning that race with the way it was ran other than LA,

    As per most other peoples opinion, why they jocked off CS for havlin now is beyond me, hes a great jockey in his own right, but his post race interview sais everything about why you wouldnt choose him over CS, it simply doesnt mean as much to him, bar the fact CS is a better jockey…

    Im a big fan of LA, big fan, but he wasnt the best horse today and i wouldnt be considering him for any other group 1 this season…. He wont be winning them

    Was he too free though FF? Ive watched the guineas back about 10 times and im not so sure he was that keen and haatem had him well behind at the furlong pole, race fitness favoured haatem and the 3lb swing is huge at this trip

    So i can see the angle, the middle park form he definitely out battles river tiber, RT had 5 runs at that point and TF only had 3,

    I still think theres a good chance haatem will defy the penalty here back at 7f and wins this, id have task force ahead of river tiber though who i actually think looks more of a miler than the other two

    Nice race, wont be betting or laying though, if anything else gets in the front 3 id be surprised

    Why does that warrant him to be anywhere near a challenge for COT ginge? The race was completely setup for a finish like that with the way CLR ran, the race tactics have completely flattered the winner

    Also

    Not that it matters, he’s a gelding… wont be anywhere near COT

    What do you mean a mile at two is a greater test of stamina than at three? Are you just saying gibberish now or do you have an actual reason? Im half intrigued

    Obviously shes going to improve going to 10f, if your winning 1m races at two the probability of needing 10f at 3 is close to 100

    Of her 3 wins she made the running once winning by 5 lengths, raced prominent the other two winning as easily one of them,

    What evidence is there to say she likes to make her own running based off her winning runs?

    Shed have won sitting 2nd behind a stronger pace

    Not sure about that stilvi theres a few in here who want out and out firm, not sure many want a proper test on firm though (assuming thats what ballydoyle do) id have rouhiya in that bunch aswell, shes a nice price though wouldnt be opposed to having a bit on her, breeding doesnt scream out a preference for firm though?

    Can get 7/2 about opera singer currently, dont like the drift atall, thought shed be 2/1 at absolute best, her 2yo group 1 win, form isnt that great, but her comeback run was satisfactory but i feel between her and elmalka there both overpriced (elmalka had the dreaded superboost hence the drift one would assume) the only two i can see wanting further than the mile are the two ive said, possibly the french guineas horse but the ground worries me for her, ballydoyle surely going to make this a proper test which imo will negate atleast ramatuelle & porta fortuna

    Will reluctantly back OS @7/2 and elmalka e/w @8/1
