Best Bet Ascot r4 Buster Bash ; Had two blackbooks when he last appeared and Murphy’s law struck as I went the wrong way , saving on the quinella at least. Went straight to the front and broke their hearts , romping in by over 4 lengths. Drops to 52 kgs after the claim with an apprentice renowned for aggressive front running tactics. I’m going to contradict myself here by saying I’m extremely confident it wins but I’m not happy with the price. It is coming from a midweek c3 to a 72 + which is a significant jump. Was expecting $3.50 - $4 but it is what it is and I’m having a crack! For serious punters I’m thinking we could possibly lay off our liability in the run as I’m certain he will lead clearly . For the average punter I’m also confident he will keep going. Expected rain enhances his chances if anything.
Ascot r7 Alaskan God ; Another case of love the horse, not the price . For full disclosure I’m already on for a stack in n the Derby in two weeks time so I wont be going too hard in this race.. It was breathtaking late against the older horses last start , putting them away with arrogance. Gets the right run here to repeat but again meets a stronger field. Rockanori and Trix of the Trade are very smart animals , Pale Rider looks like he will stay. Henchard and Hear Me Sing not hopeless . It looks like the strongest group of 3yo stayers in a long time and not one in the Cerise and White!
