Best Bet Of The Day - Saturday 12/04/08

[Cassius Marcellus]

5-50 Doncaster - Fiullin - WIN @ roughly 2/1 Beaten favourite (11/4) in a similar Class 4 Maiden here, on the opening day of the season . It was a 15 runner affair and the selection got hampered in the last furlong, but ran on to get second. I fully expect it to win today.

Re: Best Bet Of The Day - Saturday 12/04/08 3.05 Doncaster Obviously a competitive affair but I Bond City is currently over priced. Winless since 2006 (then with Bryan Smart) but had a string of consistent place efforts to his name last season including a fantastic 3rd in a Group 3. From 14 starts he only had one really bad run, which was over a too far 6f. Despite some sterling efforts last year he starts the season on 94, 9lb lower than this time last year and has only raced off a lower mark once before from 48 career starts. He has never been out of the frame on a seasonal debut (3rd, 2nd (50/1), and 2nd) always running above form. The last two seasonal debuts were very close to his best form of the season. He disappointed slightly with pieces on back end, and they are off here, which is a good sign. He has a plum draw and acts with ease. It may be the right time to catch him. Think Bigalos Bandit will win a race this year but he suffered an injury last year and may need this. Bond City - E/W
