Imperial cup saturday

[richard-westwood]

My usual risky ante post bet lol but I'm in the mood for a bit of pre Cheltenham fun and I nearly fell off my stool rating this 

Golden spear   99.11

Prairie town    99.10 

Tudor city   99.09

Disputed    99.09 

I'm not surprised its a wide  open race but golden spear is 4/1 and Tudor city is around 6-7/1 ....but prairie town is 32.0 on betfair !!! And disputed 33/1 .....now that's what I call value ....that's taking the Mickey and yes you'd have to favour the short get horses in reality but prairie town equalled he's best ever hurdle run with one over Chase recently and that will have sharpened him up ....ran a good race over cd in November and that form gives him chances now off today's light weight ....Disputed likewise has been running well of late and now gets to run off a light weight in this so definate chances ..,,,,... it's risky to back at such an early stage but prices are silly so ill chance it and hope they run 

Prairie town 10pts win 32.0 betfair 

Disputed 10pts win 33/1 ladbrokes

Good luck Richard, some decent value there mate

I wonder who will be going for the Bonus at the Festival, only the Pipes have managed it in recent times with Blowing Wind, Gaspara and Olympian. New sponsors Matchbook are offering 50,000 for the winner to go on and follow up at Cheltenham next week.

Tony Martin looks the ideal candidate, both Golden Spear and Tudor City are just at the right end of the handicap!
