York - 30/5/08

2.10 Diamond Tycoon 6/1 lad 7.5 pts e.w If this race was at a mile I would be confident, 7f possibly isnt quite ideal and it looked a touch one paced at the end of 7f lto. However this horse has real class, that was shown in its maiden win last year, awesome performance, run in the guineas was solid enough, since then maybe not been quite the same but it could just be that it needs a few runs to get going, run lto was decent enough even if it he was a bit one paced and a big class drop today, could just have too much class for them. 3.20 Granston 11/1 var bog 7.5 pts e.w Grand old servant and a strong traveller in his races, maybe because you can see him so clearly but his record in big field races backs that up and I often like a strong traveller in these races and this one still has some form, last two starts ok but run before that at don was good, won beating first buddy who has since gone on to win a couple of times since and now is rated in the 90s, Granston actually has dropped a pound or two after its last run and that may just be fair. Place claims at least. 3.55 Charles Parnell 15/2 var bog 7.5 pts e.w Solid horse, very rarely out of the first four and that is shown as such with recent form figures all in the top 4. C and D winner, trainer having a few winners of late which always encourages, drawn in the middle which gives it options and should give his usual solid account of himself.

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	355 York
Selection	Colorus (Each-Way)
Strength	2/10
Date	30/05/2008
Bookmaker/Price	William Hill @ 21.00 (Back)
Reasoning	Ran well from a poor draw at Catterick when favourite. Satisfactory effort at Beverley followed that up. Theres a suspicion that another couple fo pounds drop might help but he ran well at this time last year and seems to be coming to hand so worth a chance at a big price.
