RB, I'm certainly no expert on the sand but surely Hotel Royal has Sweet Escape beat at the weights... 7.5kg's for 1/2 length to Xilomante?

Only small change bet - E/way Double for me:


race 1 no. 2 rum and raisin

race 2 no. 1 jolly jet

break a leg and all the best to those with runners!

(tu)

At the weights, it's no race - but Sweet Ecape has the draw and has had 2 wins and 2 places over this trip - and has shortened in the betting - while Hotel Royale has not won on the sand yet and is not the most consistent of mares - IF HR repoduces her last effort behind Xilomante, there is no way in the world that SE can beat her - but that's a big IF imo

for some odd reason...the collatteral form of plated races leaves a lot to be desired,for instance yesterday agarkar was unbeatable because of its good run in the plated race in his previous start.

resounding success

Is today my turn for a winner or not ? ........... Elvis's runner S.S. in R4 " ELVIS BLUE LIVE AT THE EMERALD CUP MR 72 HANDICAP "

we'll be tring as usual, Gavin rides now 3rd time in a row........... here's hoping !
