After an outstanding day for me yesterday I thought I'd share my tips with you for today:
In the Norfolk Stakes there's basically 2 horses being backed against the rest of the field. King of Rooks has been odds on since it's latest win and is now drifting quite alarmingly and it's stablemate Log Out Island (who has won at the course and distance putting up a time that would have won all races at this distance so far) is getting backed right in. I tend to think that Log Out Island might actually be the one even though I was taken with King of Rooks, actually splitting the pair is proving difficult for me but I'd just go with King of Rooks.
Tercentenary Stakes looks like an outstanding opportunity for Time Test, think Bocca Baciata is the main danger but I think Time test will win this and 9/4 is a price I'm happy to back it at.
Ribblesdale is a tough one for me as I'm going to side with Pleascach as Bolger claims it's the best 1m4f horse he's ever trained but I do like Pamona. Pamona was my tip for the Oaks at 20/1 before it was a non-runner and it faces a much easier task here, although the 6/1 suggests that. So I'll be backing Pleascach for the win and probably a saver on Pamona.
Gold Cup: Forgotten Rules without a doubt, think the 3/1 available is great value. Mentioned yesterday I absolutely love this horse and honestly the only negative I can see is the ground, it's an exceptional horse and I'll be hammering it.
Britannia: Wont play big in this but a couple do stand out. War Envoy has been behind great horses and while it's form figures look terrible in this company it could make the frame at least. 14/1 looks value to me. The other one is Portage, clearly not trying last time and just looks laid out for this.
The KGV I'd have to side with Dissolution. If Time Test wins well the price on this will disappear fast, currently you can get 4/1 and that looks big, expect this to go off nearer the 2/1 mark myself. Ryan Moore on top is a huge plus, think he is so much better than James Doyle who cost me for that extra £4500 yesterday.
So Tips:
King of Rooks
Time Test
Pleascach
Forgotten Rules
War Envoy
Dissolution
Almost all the favourites
best of luck if you choose to play.
