As you say, hard to know if she can repeat that run, but if she does she will win in a canter - rating that run even at 84 means that all of Arcetri Pink, Winter Star, King's V and Var's die Geld ran at least 10 points below their current ratings :S On the other hand, it also means that Samba Serenade ran 13 points ABOVE her rating :S:S

frodo samba serenade got a 10 pound penalty

Louis ,thanks for that............just one thing ........most horses that START LONG PRICES 1st time out, and run well ,seldom repeat next time out ...............almost like they then give the run that was expected initially.
Had she shown ability before her run, although she started 70/1?

Cosmogenic backed from 25-1 into 16-1

I have been watching replays and Fortitude in Race 8 has been running on nicely in his last two runs. A must inclusion in all exotics!!

Watch Cosmogenics last run....and Captains Delight.... if building on those runs...no contest. Both were easy peasy bring me on runs in my opinion.

Race 3 Bag of Boodle. The mare was lighting fast. would be nice to know what the yard thinks

As can be seen from the multitude of fancies posted, a tough day awaits with many possibilities - can't really fault any of the suggestions put forward; for me in the Bi-Pot I'm going to be taking a chance on Whatalady in the 2nd and Google It in the 4th and load the rest; some real roughies to consider for places imo are Sixmilebridge in the 5th (has been running thereabouts, has some more fancied runners in the field held on the run behind Artful Prince), London Dipper in the 8th (not a bad last run on Saturday behind Halve the Deficit, and not much between her and Mystic Tigress on their runs behind Tresco) and Indigo Pixie in the last (has Zephira held at the weights)

Throw them bones (or employ any other lucky charm) - they are going to be needed today :
