Racing Chat Saturday 18th January

[The Brigadier]

A great days action ahead of us with Haydock passing it's early morning inspection.

 

My nap of the day is ROYAL PAIGALLE (230 Haydock) who has won 5 of his 6 starts at the track and despite the steadier of 12 stone will plough through the mud and take the beating.

Ascot is about the three skinny ones for me and I'll be having a treble on LUAMBA (12.30) who I'm led to believe has been working well with Jonbon at home. The Gary Moore runner was smart on the flat in France and should be a real test today mind.  

KARGESE (1.40) should be too classy for her rivals and I'm with JONBON (3.32) in the big one although obviously Energumene is likely to push him all the way. At current odds of 4/5, 1/2 & 8/13 with William Hill the treble pays just over 10/3.

I also like MARTATOR (2.15 Ascot) who is two from three here and should appreciate stepping up in trip and BO ZENITH (2.50 Ascot) who was a major eye catcher last time.

I wouldn't fancy being a bookie at Ascot today!

I can also pass on a tip for DAVIDOC (2.40 Taunton) who's beginning to blue up.

Good luck everyone.

Bo Zenith 2:50 Ascot (7/2 general, boosted to 4/1 with Bet365). Was out the back of the telly 2 out last time at Cheltenham after a long absence, then sprouted wings and nearly grabbed 2nd. Judged on that the extra distance should help and could be better than his mark of 138.

1pt win Bo Zenith.

 

P/L: +5.5pts

 

Disappointing run, was struggling before 4 out.
