Needing to catch up some 40units in a tipping comp I have played it a little braver tonight and gone for an upset or two.
Rc1. Shanthailiatrailblazer. Could have been an elite horse if not for injuries. Mach Wiper will start fave imo. Saucy Legend another real danger but good field all round.
Rc2. Cannot go past Jaydens Castle. Was tempted to tip Eden Burst but Jaydens Castle should win this.
Rc3. Our Torias Quest. I am amazed at its times around Penrith.
Rc4. Whos Escaped. Again I reference the times at Penrith.
Rc5. Gone with Hurricane Dilinger but Numberone Amenophi is the one he has to beat.
Rc6. At Newcaslte Mr Anthony ran you could say to his peak and got beaten 5m. Last week he got a bad drive but even if he ran to his peak Lisagain would have beat him home by a length or two anyway imo. Lisagain had a much harder run than Mr Feelgood and at least level if not harder than Karloo Mick than at Newcaslte compared to Menangle last week. Therefore I believe Lisagain is the best horse in the field. But he is going to have to do it the hard way again. Karloo Mick will have an easier run this compared to Newcastle; Mr Feelgood won't imo. He did lead from out wide but that shouldnt be an excuse. Even though I should know, I don't know, if Karloo Mick will get too far back. Hopefully he is death seating again. If he gets too far back Lisagain will beat him home. Those three; Mick, Mr Feelgood and Lisagain have imo more than proved they can beat the rest of them home (bar Terror to Love). Before the Newcaslte Mile I would have went Mr Feelgood but after that I now I have to go Karloo Mick. I have no idea what Terror To Love brings to the table and therefore I can't include him in my form process so if he wins he wins but I am going with Karloo Mick.
Rc7. Mabrook. I liked him as a 3yo and he won by 12m first up. Didnt even bother to read the rest of the horses form.
Rc8. I'll go with something different and say...no I wont. This is a charity for Scandalman
Rc9. My High Expectations. Steps well usually and thought he would actually get a handicap in this. From the front I can't see him being beaten. Poor fellows a rig so I also feel sorry for him.
I wish VVV luck in Rc2 and I wish Don luck in Rc3. Otherwise I hope your picks all lose.
