Carlisle 24/6/09

3.05 Carlisle Shadowtime has bee running consistently well enough to land this recently, having finished 2^nd 3^rd and 2^nd behind intersky charm who is carrying a 6lb penalty which could just be enough to put shadowtime in front today, definitely needs the faster ground which could come just right in time.

0.5pt e/w shadowtime

Re: Carlisle 24/6/09 MAJOR MAGPIE 3.35 Carlisle. 0.5 points each way. Hasn't been in the best of form, but last time he showed that he could be cming back to something like his best, and if producing that best today, then he has every chance off a mark of 78. The trip and ground shouldn't pose any problems and he has a decent draw to work from, so throw that in with Phillip Makin riding him instead of the shorter priced Kiwi Bay, and the 32s on Betfair would seem very attractive. Maybe Phillip Makin had no choice in the rides, but you have to feel he would've had some kind of say with checking previous rides etc. Anyhow, should be able to have the race run to suit and therefore has every chance at a very big price. I've had a little bit on at 32s (Betfair) already, so posting early as I think the price can only shorten to be honest. Might be wrong, but on all evidence that the race produces, I just can't see how these big prices cannot be snapped up, irrespective of the end result. Naturally all workings are on the basis that he's trying his hardest today!!!
