Best Bet Of The Day - Sat 5/7/08

San 3.20 Rob Roy 0.5 pts e.w 16/1 bog Poor race by eclipse standards and could be ripe for a 'shock.' Rob roy has always had the talent and the reputation and I just wonder is this where he delivers. He has run well over the years at time, couple of group wins and a stormer in the champion stakes behind pride but in front of a horse of the class of hurricane run, he ran well in the breeders cup too when storming far too late over a mile from his american jock. After that a spell in the states didnt work but back in stoutes hands he warrents respect. FTO this season encourages over shorter and Im prepared to forgive his run in a messy lockinge where he uncomfortably made it. I think this trip suits, certainly on his 2006 champion stakes run it does and may well have been overlooked for the trainer and jockey combo who infamously won this last year.

Re: Best Bet Of The Day - Sat 5/7/08 Sandown 3.55: MELODRAMATIC WIN This daughter of Sadler's Wells looks to have an obvious opportunity to win here. She ran a decent race LTO at Newbury in listed company, but everything about the run showed she desperately needed a return to a mile, and Roger Charlton has obliged. In form Richard Hughes takes the ride.
