cpo Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase Ante-post RSA chase - Dynaste 5pts win @ 5/1 >paddypower 1/4 odds 1,2,3 Dynaste has looked an absolute machine since turning his attention to fences. The form of both of his starts over fences have been franked this weekend with both Unioniste and Court in Motion winning. It's hard to not get carried away with his performances so far as he has looked imperious both times. He put Fingal Bay in his place with ease and looking through the current RSA betting, I don't see anything in the field that could pose a threat. Boston Bob at the moment is the current 2nd favourite but I am happy to take him on. Come race day I feel Dynaste will be much shorter than his current 5/1 so fingers crossed he gets there in 1 piece. To me opposition is thin on the ground so I am happy to get on at this early stage. It's a race that Martin Pipe won twice in the 90's and David looks to have a major contender to notch his first RSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty White Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase There always seems to be a short priced favourite in the RSA and in the last 3 years Long Run, Time for Rupert and Grands Crus all failed to justify their short odds. However it doesn't look like a strong renewal and Dynaste has been seriously impressive so its hard to oppose, even with the poor récord of feltham winners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Unioniste in the Jewson but look likes this is his target and at his age it could be too much. Super Duty could improved for the (probable) better gorund and looks a dour stayer to me. Think he might be value if he lines up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowgli77 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase http://www.punterslounge.com/wetherby-betting-goulanes-to-get-off-to-a-winning-start-over-fences Goulanes has raced once this season and won but this was 77 days ago. It looks like the typical Pipe plot horse that will probably run here and then win at Cheltenham doing cartwheels in one of the big handicaps. It has 2 wins from 2 starts under rules and also won a point to point over 3m. It won a maiden hurdle over 21f and then won a listed hurdle over 26f at Cheltenham, just beating Cross Kennon by a neck. It has 3 entries at Cheltenham and is 66-1 for the RSA. It is a lightly raced 7 year old that could be head and shoulders above these or could be a flop but it will probably be the former. Now 8-1 and how I'm wishing I'd had a few quid at 66's. Backed it at Wetherby and was impressed but left it alone ante post due to the 3 entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowles10 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase my ratings Houblon Des Obeaux 83 Unioniste 78 There's a slight surprise so will have a good look at Venetias horse for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHills Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase Not the best RSA Chase I have ever seen but interesting nonetheless, the three mile trip should see Boston Bob in better light after two average starts over fences so far but looks poor value to me on what he has achieved to date. Ruby chooses Unioniste and the tip should be heeded, he is the top rated horse in the race on 153 and receives weight from them all being only a 5yo. Goulanes could chase him home for the Pipe yard, he has done nothing wrong and just stays all day.

Bathtime For Rupert Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase Apologies but reasoning up tomorrow for all bets: 2pts win Boston Bob @ 7/2 (PP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bathtime For Rupert Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase 2pts win Boston Bob @ 7/2 (PP) Although he has been a little underwhelming this season so far I think it's foolish to rule him out of running a belter here. He was 2nd in the Albert Bartlett last year and his first effort over fences came on unsuitably soft ground, after a lengthy break and over a trip on the short side. Managed to just get up - as he did last time out - but will be a different animal in a race with plenty of pace in it like this, back on better ground and 3 miles. Confident he'll be a different horse today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpo Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase I strongly fancy Hadrians Approach for this. Jumped very poorly behind Unioniste and still nearly won. Looked as though he had much more to give. Apparently they have worked on his jumping which has improved. Massive chance for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpo Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase I think Boston Bob would have got caught even if he stayed up. Just my opinion but definitely unlucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Boi Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase I reckon Boston Bob would have been caught too.. All focus on the Coral Cup now, sit back and watch Sprinter Sacre in action first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathtime For Rupert Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase Disagree but I would say that. He was doing nothing in front - think he would have found more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Bailey Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Re: Wednesday 2:40: RSA Steeple Chase It would have been very close, but I think Boston Bob would have found just as much up the hill. I backed neither FWIW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
