Don't go much for this Festival bankers stuff but not been as struck by a 2yo filly as I was by Meehan's for a long time. She looked something very special at Haydock.

Haven't got the foggiest about horse racing but I know enough to know that I should be looking forward to watching both Frankel and the Canford Cliffs v Goldikova race. Managed to bag tickets for the weekend with a friend so will do my bollocks in backing the 3 legged donkeys no doubt.

Any tips much appreciated!

Jees chompy, i had to go thru the card to work out who u were going on about then, ffs mate plain english next time!

Shumoos in 500 weds yeah? If so looks like books agree at supposed 7/4 sp.

[Chompy]

Oops, yep, that's the girl Nico. Wait for the day, once-raced filly and price should drift.

I would be pretty surprised if Shumoos went off bigger than 2/1 tbh.  It is the best prospect I have seen to lineup in this race since Lyric fantasy years ago.

I definitely like Goldikova, especially if the ground is genuinely good to soft. 13/8 is huge, should be marginally odds on imo.

I'm also on Kingsgate Native at 16/1 as Coral seemed really keen to take it on last week when most of the other bookies were 12, 10 or even 8/1. I had intended to trade out but the more I look at the race the more I can't see anything obvious to beat it so at this stage I'll let it ride. The racing press seem to see Astrophysical Jet 14/1 as the one that represents value at this stage so I might have a small e/w interest on that one too.

[danny_b]

I disagree. I think Goldikova is past her best and Canford Cliffs will come late to nick the Queen Anne, providing there's not too much rain.

Frankel is surely a nocker in the St James' Palace, but i'm not overly taken with 2/5 shots, and So You Think will win the Prince of Wales on Wednesday, but again at very short odds.

I've had a decent sized treble on the above three, at 6/4, 2/5 and 4/7, and I'll just dabble at the rest for interest.

On the point of Shumoos, I do think it looked a special thing, but i'm not sure 7/4 is fair. Also, I quite like the look of Frederick Engels at around 4/1 in the 5.35pm on Tuesday. He finished 2nd behind Shumoos and has since won a decent race at Musselburgh very easily.

I also think Es Que Love is a decent e/w shout for a place in the 5.35pm Tuesday at around 33/1. Fast little thing who likes to lead from the front, which I like in 5f races.

I too like anything which leads from the front.

i prefer them to lead over the line

2.30 - Canford Cliffs
3.05 - Astrophysical Jet
3.45 - Dubawi Gold (Place)
4.25 - Gatepost
5.00 - Ashbrittle
5.35 - Es Que Love (e/w - thanks Danny!)

[danny_b]

Good luck Silo, hope he holds on for a place pal!

Apart from the Canford, Frankel, So You Think treble, I've just had a little e/w lucky 15 for interest...

3.05 - Monsieur Chevalier - 20/1
4.25 - Power - 5/1
5.00 - Veiled - 11/2
5.35 - Frederick Engels - 4/1

[Nico29]

Bkd canford cliffs for a nifty in first race as coral emailed me an offer where first 50 bet is refunded if it loses, bad sign if im being sent offers!

Also had a word for astrophysical jet in the second and am on ew first 4.

Frankel's race is a dream for ew backers, problem is i don't see this getting beat. Still tempted as yr getting dble even treble the place value, another prob is getting on.

Will look at other races later.

Gl all!
