BBOTD - Monday 10th June

[robertob]

16.45 Brighton: Good Luck Charm @ 5/1 Paddy Power Good Luck Charm is a bit of a frustrating sort but is in good nick and was really unlucky not to win lto. He travelled really well in rear in a Lingfield handicap over 7f, but couldn't get a clear run on the inside rail, having always horses in front of his nose for almost the entire race. In the closing stages he got finally a bit of racing room and finished the race well enough but there is no doubt that he would have gone very close with a clear run. He remains on the same mark tomorrow, so gets a real chance by the handicapper and while the ground was soft the last time he won't mind the fast ground at Brighton either. Course form is crucial at this odd designed track I feel and the fact that he was only beaten on the line last year hear over 1m, and another good effort when placed here from just three starts is evidence enough that he goes well at Brighton. The two market principles in this race arereally interesting, no doubt, but I think Good Luck Charm is overpriced and will run a huge race.

Re: BBOTD - Monday 10th June 8.00 Windsor - Fulney 8/1 William Hill BOG I think this horse is overpriced as the outsider of the field presumably based on her run this season when she was outclassed against a strong field. Prior to that she was a progressive looking filly whose front runnong style will suit this track down to the ground. She comes out just on top of my figures and with a good draw she can outrun her odds. Dane O'Neill gets the ride and he is in flying form at the moment as well.
