Bets 29/03/2025

Doncaster

1.15 - Ahead of Fashion 66s, Archibald Ives 10s , Justice Twice 25s  from trainers who do well with 2year old at Doncaster with decent prices, but in big races like this where a Hannon horse opens fave I'm happy to blindly back it, especially as this one with Amo and the ped is strong. Keen to see how Lope Harswell runs. First runner from Lope Y Fernandez. Was 66/1 when opened. Had some coins on it.

Norman's Cay 11/4

1.50 - Tough one. No strong opinions either. Look Back Smiling could win b2b renewals but looking at stablemate One Night Thunder, if this bounces back to form, is going to be chucked in. Money come from 66s into 22s already, so is this a bullish sign? The better the ground, the better the chances for sure.  I think there will be a lot of pace down the middle and looking for one that has that extra distance form. Looking back at most winners they all had a go over longer. Bit of a dart but Deborah's Dream maybe the one that makes all and holds on. Again the better the ground the better then chance. I thought about Promethean but drawn 22 (1 in 27 wins)

One Night Thunder 22/1ew

Deborahs Dream 25/1ew

2.25 - I really want to back Spycatcher. On best form this one wins. 7 years old though and Burke form in pattern class at Doncaster not too appealing. So, looking for a 4 year old who still improving. Potentially it's James Delight but plumping for Iberian. Wind Op looks to have worked a treat and solid course winner

Iberian 13/2

3.00 - I thought about Checkandchallenge. If the ground was Good, I'd have gone in. Tough to split the top in market, but Dancing Gemini is taking step down in class. 2nd in French Guineas. Think ground will still have soft in it. Teal back in the winners enclosure yesterday.

Dancing Gemini 7/2

3.35 - Easy to get carried away with this race. I backed Thunder Run AP, but looking at trends, shrunk the list to Godwinson,  Native Warrior, Alpha Crucis, Dashing Darcey, Old Cock. Olivers is 6lb well in so on paper big chance. Native Warrior looked progressive last year and willing to ignore last race. Wootton Bassetts all good at Donny (4/13 in 4yr+ handicaps).

Native Warrior 10/1ew

4.10 - The Cursor 10/1ew

----

Curragh

2.15 - Go Athletico 20/1ew. If recaptures previous form back at former stable can outrun odds for a place minimum.
