BBOTD 8th of October

Red Anthem - Newmarket 3:50 Big field of 34 go to post and i cant but help think this is overpriced, of course its a big shot in the dark in such a big field. Looks like more of a stayer and it is stepping up to 2m2f for the first time tomorrow. Its only win came over 1m7f in France and after that it ran a fine race stepped up to 2m and the longer trip again will suit. Had its first run in Britain for Gerard Butler on its last outing, but that was over 1m2f and im sure they were just blowing the cobwebs away that day, it is far too short for it. Now stripping fitter and off an ok mark, i think it has plenty in its favour tomorrow (trip, ground, unexposed, should be fitter, good draw) and comes out of Stall 5. At 50/1 i think its worth a crack! WIN @ 50/1 VC BOG

BBOTD - Sat 8th October 3.50 Newmarket Ermyn Lodge - ran a cracker from a prominent racing position in Ascot Stakes over 2m4f which suggested he'd get this shorter trip. Was beaten by Veiled that day and reopposes him again here and looks the better price and draw of the two. The fancy prices went when the draw was made and when put up in the RP this morning but loves fast ground and trainer has been very bullish. Mongan replaces Turner in the saddle, another big plus. 16/1 Bet 365, 1 pt win
