Morning guys,
Todays racing is the first day with bigger fields for the each way punter.
Good luck to that punter waiting on Envoi Allen for over half a million.
Race 1 (1.20)
This is on all known form Envoi Allen's race to lose, very short but very fair imo price.
If you must have a bet a fella could do worse than Shan Blue each way at 10/1 or 11/4 betting without the fav.
Skelton will have him out in front I think and play catch me if you can.
Race 2 (1.55)
Colin already flagged up Milliner at 16/1 into 8's now and I still think its worth a poke each way!
Strom arising at 20/1 is a horse I've tipped up before here and I expect it to outrun those odds again with 6 places, the horse needs cover to get involved late but it could set up that way for it, I hope.
Race 3 (2.30)
Melon 11/2 has a love/hate relationship with the festival four times he's been second here I do believe he has the beating of Samcro, who too often flatters to deceive.
Min at 9/2 I have a soft spot for this horse, won this last year and while concerning he pulled up last time, its not unlike him to bounce back from a bad run. One for an each way treble/patent maybe.
Race 4 (3.05)
As good as Paisley Park is the horse tends not to like big fields
With PP paying 5 places I think there is huge value elsewhere but the one I landed on is The Storyteller, excuses last time but just never ever seems to run a bad race and it may be his turn to win at 15/2.
Race 5 (3.40)
The Shunter is very short for such a size field but probably has shown the most form. Good luck to connections for the £100k bonus if it wins.
I went with Assemble at 16/1 (6 places) here, just need the horse to stay upright. Very impressive win prior to falling twice. I put it down to small fields and hope the big cluster will help with concentration.
Race 6 (4.15)
Royal Kahala 11/2 is 9lb better off with the JF Roseys Hollow this time round and can reverse that form imo.
I think Tellmesomethinggirl 6/1 has more to give also. The form team of HdB and Blackmore team up and the mare is improving all the time.
Race 7 (4.50)
Go Another One 25/1 has not run in 5 months.
This is important because the horse goes so well fresh. Won well twice when back from a break last time in August.
McConnell also doesn't send many here without a very strong chance.(Unlucky to run into Tiger Roll on form in Xcountry race with his other horse Some Neck)
Shantou flyer 9/1 is just a horse who may never win her similar to Melon, but always feels to be there or close by, placed 3 times at the festival previous.
