Good morning
Ever since Minsky joined David O’Meara’s yard last term, I’ve had the feeling that they’d have a ‘plan’ for him. Indeed, when I instigated a search for all my references to the horse in my blog, there were many. I particularly was drawn to these entries on July 6th this season:
I was delighted that Mirsky won, of course, but I think the performance was the thing; the win of the season, in my eyes; the way he cruised up and instantly put the race to bed. It really did cement the idea that The Golden Mile would be aa achievable target.
Last season I became convinced that they'd aim for the Cambridgeshire but it seems that the Mile is the call

The draw is vital in this race, in all likelihood. A low draw and a horse that can lay up in a good position is the ideal. That Epsom win had Mirsky close to the pace and on the rail. In the Golden Mile, it’s crucial to lay up close, I think, and what happens in the first two furlongs will decide Mirsky’s fate. If he can break smartly and get a handy rails pitch from the lovely draw in four, It’s possible we may witness an Orbaan-style run, if you remember the race three years back.
Cloud cuckoo land, I’m sure, but I’ll be doing him whatever.
Mirsky - 2.30 Goodwood 25/1 Ew 5 places
My second main bet will be:
Lexington Blitz - Musselburgh 7.18 6/1 Ew
2 x Singles
Ew Double
Last night's win by Stormy Impact has payed a massive compliment to this one, I reckon. I'm not usually keen to back three year olds against their elders at this time of the year but in this case I'm prepared to make an exception. This is a class 4 handicap that's not all that great and makes that Epsom Dash form standout out like a beacon, in my opinion.
I shall be having a little Ew L15, too:
Zinc White Goodwood 1.20 6/1
Mirsky - Goodwood 2.30 25/1
What's Up Darling - Galway 5.30
Lexington Blitz - Musselburgh 7.18
Good luck
