Wow, what a great card for the course and some stand out prices!
215 Benatar...has to win this surely and 4/1 looks huge
250 Rolling Maul is 6/1? surely thats too big?
325 Marias Benefit...my fav horse from last season that was a victim of blatant team tactics at Chelt when taken on and hassled by Mullins Cut the Mustard to allow his hot pot to win. Good old stewards drunk of course to notice ! Anyhoo, starts its chase campaign tomorrow and 2/1 is fair. I would wade in BUT...Stuarts are all needing the race at the mo and Im not sure Gethings is top class. I know Stuart has said theyve had no rain all summer and his horses arent as fit as normal but id love to see this tear off in front!
well the meeting goes ahead and I have to be happy with the 4/1 ive got on Benatar...now 6/4..admittedly a rule 4 for Skeltons coming out but that was 5/1 so still a great price.
Rolling Maul would be a bet if the distance was less than 3 miles (Steve J's famous h'cap topweight system for races less than 3 miles on tight tracks). Still might win though - last win was impressive. Price now 11/2, cut in.
