Do you ever look at a race and straight away the 'Winner' hits you right between the eyes? You take a second look and scroll down the field hoping there's nothing else catches your attention,a third look tells you the ground and draw seem perfect,you noticed instantly the right mans on board....even though he could be riding for his retained stable...(Possible weight discrepancy there!).The adrenalins coursing by now..What price,what price,have I missed the 5/1? Straight onto the machine to see whats happening...........deflation,like a balloon being popped you see £2 available at 3's Fury sets in! Straight onto Oddschecker........Nothing,no prices,bloody hell you think! The race is 2.0pm tomorrow its time to get it priced up! In my world he's a 2/1fav and will power home,lets hope just one odds-compiler hasn't been reading this and goes 7/2......Dreeeeeeeeam,Dream,dream,dream!

No, but the value bet (or three value bets) certainly does. Light, Moonstone and Discourse. Will wait for the latter as she's almost bound to drift, being the stable "second string. Can get around 8/1 for both the former pair (7/2 combined). Once Discourse is added I suspect it'll be around 5/2 combined. That's much better than the favourite on her own.

Billy's offering 11/2 will have you mightily pleased then lol The Ellison horse looks the one to beat but cannot be in the same class surely!

What do you think of DUNEDEN in the 230? Very eye catching jockey booking for this world traveller, i thought he would be fav also! Ground will catch a few out but not him.

Gord

I think your FURY will win tomorrow first time i backed him to.

Any thoughts on the sprint race i like TEMPLE MEADS smart at 2 but missed last year.How many times we see horses off for a long break run a cracking race on 1st start.

ABTAAL is a horse i rate high to the french use there trails different to us.ABTAAL was 70 percent fit was not given a hard time and only just lost.Am on BORN TO SEA at 50/1 win bet too.

Your loyalty is commendable, but this Fury has been raised 6lbs since the start of the season without winning. Last time out he looked to have every chance and he either ran out of steam or ducked the issue. Perhaps a return to the Rowley Mile and an increase in trip will bring about some improvement but he looks reasonably well exposed and handicapped up to the level of his ability.
It is a big ask of a 3yo against his elders at this time of year, so the declaration of Graphic takes the eye. He ran on well from an unpromising position in the Esher Cup last week. 18/1 makes interesting reading.

Darren: Hope you do not mind me replying to the question also!

Fury hopefully will be held onto a lot later and win going away, class will tell in this ground!

ABTAAL looks a massive runner, HERMIVAL is my outsider at a tasty 25s.

I like the look of Duneden in the 2nd too, will love the ground as well.

I am a huge Temple Meads fan BUT not tomorrow, yes the break wont affect him from this yard BUT the break and soft ground will surely scupper him!!

Good luck though

Well spotted GDC took it last night as for this Duneden Not for me,I like Sadeeks Song,I can see bigger things for him in the future as I can for Masked Marvel,trouble is there they still dont know whats his trip! Gold Cup imo.

darren if Born To Sea wins you will truly be 'The Ante-Post King',50/1 is a cracking price and you would think he has a brilliant chance of placing at least! You did back him e/w??
As for the sprint,I struggle to split Margot Did and Inxile.Good Luck,your efforts deserve reward!

Fury is a progressive sort Eclipse,he'll carry the weight No problem and he'll get the trip stood on his head,its just a case of there being a well handicapped 'Dark horse' in the race,possibly Cumanis,either way a repeat of both the Lincoln and spring Cup runs sees the Grey placed again for sure.

Fury £200 e/w 5/1 Bet365 2,0pm Newmarket.

Sadeek's Song: They say "great minds think alike"!
Masked Marvel: Great minds .... It's strange though he isn't even entered in the Gold Cup.

No he's not Ginge and neithers my other 25/1 Ante-Post selection St Nicholas Abbey! But hey I'm right into this Colour Vision now,both you and Darren spotted him well!
I spotted this Sadeeks Song down at the Greatest course in the world and he really caught my eye,even old grumpy draws Fallon couldn't help but smile,he took off inside the last furlong and I said then he was a Group horse,We'll see!

I'm sure you haven't forgotten your Age Of Aquarius being touched off by Rite Of Passage two years ago, if that one get's back on track for the race he's the one to be on at 8/1 imo. The fact that he's had his problems is a worry though!

Its well documented I'm on Camelot big time at 6/1,I'm just as confident about this fellows chances as Jonibake was about Frankel last year,but I'm putting a horse up I have high expectations for this year in Bronterre,trouble is every year this race throws a top class sprinter and it could well be him,obviously Richard Hughes has deserted him but doing that could well be the reason why he's been 40/1,anyway SkyBet are playing to 4 places and I'm convinced this fellow could place as I like the look of the Dewhurst as a trial for this. Power would make up my 3.

Bronterre £50 e/w 28/1 Skybet 4 places

Loser £100

£1750
