I just think the level of improvement in Smad Place the last twelve months has been superb and I can't help but feel he's got some more in the tank. Not a big bet today though.

If I end up with a free bet on this race, Smad Place will be it. He's the one certainty to run his race.

WH reckoned "he'd bounce off it".

(I know I would if tried to ride it.)

There's a bit of me just wonders (hopes, maybe) that if Smad Place can get into a rhythm up front but still within his comfort zone (the rest might just let him) he could pick up turning for home and really ask the others a serious question.

the ground yesterday was partly watered .going timed out yesterday at -8 lengths per mile (Good).

it may dry out a little..don't know if it was watered last night or not..said they were going to water to keep it easy side of Good.

its not fast ground imo..i've never recorded fast ground there in the 15 years i've gone back through

turftrax confirms the time indicated going

Cue Card. The class horse with the best recent form, a sound jumper whose breathing issues that were making him look like a non-stayer appear to be sorted, who runs well at the track and has a GC-winning jockey on top. I've gone round in circles overthinking it and have finally given my head a wobble to keep it simple, stupid.
 
I'll be the first to say I'm wrong after the race and take it on the chin but I've said on here forever that Don Cossack is the most overrated horse in training.small field bully and granted he has got that but there is always some excuse.

See that man above your post? That's D. Russell who rode Don Cossack last week ina gallop and said of him "he is the perfect horse and everything you would want in a racehorse" We are talking about a horse who has been there and done it winning 9 from his last 11 group races. If he's over rated it doesn't say much for the rest of them.
 
ideal race conditions for don cossack...if he doesn't it today then he'll never do it

don Cossack and djakadam to battle it out...wouldn't be surprised if smad place filled the first three
 
well..i called DC a 180 hoss last year...and let the Djak bandwagon suck me in..now i know he would have won the KG had he stood up..stays forever

thank god CC is ok

that was a brutal race
