Bets 25/05/2012

Primaeval got first run on everyone yesterday and a number of horses came flying from the back, but it was a solid bet and Citrus snatched 3rd so the race worked out well. Lucky really as nothing else did! I really should lay of the 3yr old races for a few more weeks. The merky ground has not allowed for consistency, but such is life. Let's crack on.

Goodwood 3.10 – Konstantin has been heavily backed this morning and may well hack up, but there are number I’d love to take him on with. Indian Art is the first. Is in cracking form as is the stable, has won here at Goodwood before and Hughes is up. Space Station is down in class and weight and could bounce back to form, but I really want to take a punt on Rougette is 28/1. Clearly I’ll be disappointed, but if not here with these conditions then she will never(is unlikely) live up to her maiden promise.               

Goodwood 4.20 – Triple Aspect in a Class 2 handicap at 12/1. What? Has been gelded, yes, but 12/1 after one butters performance? Noble Citizen looked very very impressive yesterday but did have a 5lb claim and maybe wants further. I’ve picked up some good place money on Parisian Pyramid and feel for this horse. Has won this race before and is in blinding form so arguably a justified favourite.

Goodwood 4.55 – Lady Rosamunde is due to go up 7lb so is well handicapped. At a bigger price Crafty Roberto looks interesting. Can see bursts of speed in his jumps form. He beat Art History over hurdles who is rated 85 on flat so a mark of 75 is somewhat interesting.

Goodwood 5.30 – Despite my opening paragraph I want to take a chance with Cockney Rhyme. Couple of solid races as a 2yr old but as above 3yr old form has been blown out a bit with the ground…
