Bets 17/05/2012 - York Dante Festival Day 2

York, once again, proved costly yesterday, although a couple of big priced places numbed the pain temporarily. O’Brien, once again, proved I really can’t pick a short priced winner from his camp. The Fugue was stupendously impressive though. Coffee necked, croissant devoured and I'm ready for some more Yorkie, not for girls pain. Bring it.

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has gone all out today for Day 2 of the Dante Festival at York:

York 1.30 – Racy (12/1), Doctor Parkes (11/1)

York 2.30 – Fencing (6/1)

York 3.00 – I many times has ‘Justonefortheroad’ never worked out @ 10/1

My thoughts later…

York 1.30 – Grr. Segal has already tipped Racy and Doctor Parkes. I can see why he has picked both, but I have a problem as I really fancy Judge and Jury today. DEE is still an inexperienced jockey, but I’m going to trust him to go sooner this time. He also ran wellish in this race last year and goes off a lower mark.

York 2.00 – Last year’s second Sajjhaa loves it here and goes well fresh. 6/1 looks tasty. John Gosden is hacking up and Izzi Top is definitely on the up. Will be a tight race.

York 2.30 – Segal has tipped Fencing. Not necessarily convinced but don’t want to back anything else in a small field. This is a toughy, but hoping a class act will emerge!

York 3.00 – Segal has tipped Justonefortheroad. Fury is always just a tad short and the handicapper probably has him but goodish value as a place job.

York 3.30 – Es Que Love to make all and nothing will catch him.

York 4.45 – Hmm. A tough one. A number of decentish Jumps Horses who I’m eyeing up. Cape Tribulation must have a solid favourites chance as has plenty of speed in him and arguably the class jumper in the race. Hollins, Kayf Aramis and Dark Ranger have all won this race before. My outsider would have to be Orsippus. A speculative punt based on previous C&D form, ok jumps form, low weight.
