E/W fancies Thursday 5th July

[Haitch]

14:00 Yarmouth - Wightgar (40/1) This is quite possibly the worst race on form I have ever seen. How any of them can justify favourtism is a mystery. I will def be laying the jolly if anything near 2/1. This leaves some big prices available and I would not be surprised to see a big priced winner here. Just a question of finding the right one. I have gone through the runners and there are major negatives over almost all runners. One with slightly less negatives is my selection of Wightgar. Has only run the once and that was on the AW at Lingers, over 1m4f. The inrunning comments are as follows. "steadied start, in rear, ridden over 4f out, outpaced and no chance over 2f out". This to me says that it was a couple of furlongs too far and todays drop in trip to 1m2f will suit. Contary to the Racingposts analysis, I do not this the pedigree is too bad. Comes from the useful Carisbrooke who has run twice at todays distance winning one and coming 2nd in the other. Haitch

Re: E/W fancies Thursday 5th July I think this is the first time I've put up a selection and I'm not too sure how to explain my reasoning. 16.30 Yarmouth - Magic Amigo (f'c' 12/1) Looking at the stats provided at the Racing Post website, Magic Amigo figures very well under Topspeed & RPR according to the going. I think the ground is key and gives this horse at least a good chance to place. :hope
