1000 Guineas - May 6th.

[BKI Punter]

1000 Guineas Discourse 1.25pt win - 8/1 (Paddy Power) On bare form, I don't think Discourse should be 8/1 and Maybe at 7/4. She had fives races as a 2yo and backing a filly to retain form in a race like this at such a short price is dangerous. If she goes below 2.5 on the day I'll be a layer. Discourse overturned Gamilati on her debut when the latter was expected to win, and then won in taking fashion at Newmarket, drawing well clear and looking like the longer trip would play into her hands. I have doubts over Lyric of Light's form and you always got the impression throughout last season that Discourse was preferred. She could easily start around the 5/1 mark on the day.

i have to say i fully agree with this .........i think maybe is too short for such a competitive race against this standard of opposition .......i think either discourse or lyric of light will go close and its hard to separate the 2 but i think discourses run showed that he possesses speed aplenty and is proven on course 84........good as opposed to lyric of lights 80 good firm ......one of the most open 1000 guineas for while with many horses capable of stepping up but i like the look of a place bet at 3.4 on discourse as it doesnt tie me to a win in such an open race and i think it will be difficult to keep him out the frame ....... discourse 10pts place 3.4 betfair
