Re: Best Bet Of The Day Fri 22/08/08 Newm 3.05 - National Colour - win six group one winners line up for the Nunthorpe and I wouldn't look beyond that half dozen for the winner. With none of the other runners having won at group two level there's a big gap in class between the top few and the rest. Fly in the ointment could be Percolator, the 2YO, but she's a filly, and up against big sprinting colts I'll pass her over. Of the six G1 winners 2 have won the Abbeye, Desert Lord and Benbaun, but generally they're not competitive at this level. ( This seems to be a bit of a trend with the Abbeye, maybe because the result is so draw dependant) Sakhee's Secret - got to be doubts after last couple of runs That leaves Equiano, Kingsgate Native and National Colour, all three look to have top chances. I'm wondering if Equiano had the run of the race at Ascot, drawn against the rail, maybe might not have everything his own way today Kingsgate Native - better at 6 furlongs now ? National Colour is an early speedster who has won group ones over 6F, so I'm hoping he'll blast them away from the front but still have the stamina to get home.........with Kingsgate Native too far behind at half way to get back.
