    Not sure but a lot of tricky races for us punters and, the 3 qualifying races 1.35,2.45 and 3.20 have short priced favourites.  Do you think that Stradivarious will win? It seems to me that no one puts up very good competitive challengers against it which is quite annoying

     

    I  think this could be the day to take him on ...... he hasn't won for his last 3 races and as he gets older he's more like to need a seasonal opener to loosen up the joints 

    But looking at the field you wouldn't see much beyond Stradivarius and Nayef Road ....

    I think I'd probably stick with the old Champion but wouldn't back him at odds on

  2. Asc 3.55 - Haqeeqy - win 11/8 bet365

    It's always a bit dangerous to back horses in pattern company based on what they've done in handicaps but this one looks top class

    Won the Lincoln doing handstands and had won his previous handicap easily as well ...... wins off marks of 92 and 100

    If you saw the Lincoln there's little doubt this is a group class horse and should handle this Listed race although there are several horses who had a similar profile last season taking him on and there might be some 'recency bias' behind his short price

    Also I've seen this type of horse over many years ....... horses that have come up through handicaps and looked like the next great thing only to be found out when tackling real group one horses. So although this is listed as a Queen Anne Trial I'd be a bit wary of backing him for the big one even if he wins today
