Ok so today is a day full of phenomenal racing from Epsom a truly awesome racecourse. If your going what a day in store!.
The going at Epsom today is Good and not Good to Firm which in a way is a little strange/curious as we've had no rain in these parts for weeks. Anyway here are my selections for today and if you fancy a flutter good luck.
1.40 Princess Elizabeth Stakes 1m
Without trying to use the same adjective here I'm going to go with the word perplexing opener to start this exciting day. Firstly because three year olds have a poor record in this race so I'm discounting Clinical and Nabah not sure they are up to this class anyway. I'm also not convinced by the favourite Antara who is coming back from a break, I certainly think we have seen the best from this horse so with those points in mind for me it centres around the filly from Henry Cecils yard, TIMEPEICE ran very well behing Midday last time out, has shown progression this year so far and will progress again. TIMEPEICE to make a winning start for the legend trainer Henry Cecil. However this is a tricky race to call.
2.10 Investec Mile Handicap 1m
Now this is tricky!. I do like these big handicap fields when a nice e/w big price outsider gets there neck in front. So what to make of it? Well the draw can play a part here and you usually have an advantage with high numbers in a big field like this, in essence you dont want your selection to be lost this will depend alot on what the jockeys feel is the better ground. In this race you have some trainers that have done well and Mark Johnston springs to mind staright away but Hacienda and Tartan Gigha have been in no kind of form really so I fancy an old timer a horse that has been around the block a few times and is currently in fine fettle and thats BENANDONNER E/W at an each way price could be a great steal, this horse has been in great form of late and is still at a reasonable mark to have a play in the finish.
2.45 Coronation Cup 1m 4f
Disappointing we dont have a few more going to post but still the top three in the betting will make this a very interesting and enjoyable race to watch. I have a real soft spot for Dandino, this Dansili colt is a class animal and an owners dream. However not sure it will be up to the quality of MIDDAY, I believe this mare will win and win with some in hand, this horse has been a globetrotting superstar and has shown what a classy animal she is. The main danger could be that of St Nicholas Abbey who has promised alot but only shown its class at Chester last time out, other than that that win no other form stands up, the racing post trophy win is flawed because none of the other horses went on to greater things and nothing has really franked the form. Henry Cecil again MIDDAY!.
3.25 Investment Stakes 1m 2f
With quite a few in with a chance here and with at least three you'd be struggling to get the proverbial cigerette paper between them. So I'm going for jockey over form to a degree and believe that RIGHT STEP is a step in the right direction. This horse will get the trip, love the ground and has the best pilot in the game on board. RIGHT STEP at an each way price could be the winner.
4.05 THE OAKS
If you've been readin my blogg this week you'll already know that I've tipped Wonder of Wonders to run a big race so I wont bore you with that just look at my comments below. So I'm going to pick an outsider who will get the trip, ran very well to win a trial before this race at Lingfield, is trained by a very astute trainer and has given the ride to Sam Hitchcot who rode a beauty in the derby trial at Lingfield last month.ZAIN AL BOLDAN. I like this horse at a nice 10/1 e/w bet. Good Luck all! with Wonder of Wonders to win.
What a day!
Live the Dream and Good Luck to you Bones!
