Gold Cup 2022

Here's my synopsis, such as it is, for tomorrow's race (you can see I'm bouncing off walls here...):

A mark of 92 is on the low side for making the cut in this race so it’s maybe not as classy as usual although ten rated 100 and more, plus a top OR of 109 suggests there’s no shortage of quality. 123-125 on adjusted RPRs is usually round about top rated so it’s maybe up to scratch. It’s still the kind of race for long-term plots so I’m sticking with the approach that landed me the Wokingham and Stewards’ Cup. That makes the following short-list material (in order in the table above): Bielsa (10/1), Gulliver (14/1), Commanche Falls (12/1), Summerghand (12/1), Pendleton (33/1, likely to drift) and Tinto (25/1, ditto) but I need to have enough on Khanjar (9/2) to cover all of those as I think he might just improve past them all. I was quite taken by his last win. And I’ve taken 50 on the exchange Volatile Analyst. That’s just too big for where he sits in the table trained by a Scot and a CD winner. The first four I mention above dutch at about 9/4, which isn’t great so I might just settle for a decent win bet on Khanjar, smaller on Summerghand and go for small each-ways on the longshots.

Really disappointing from Khanjar but Summerghand covered all bets. I didn't have anything on Commanche Falls but nice to have the 1-2 in the short-list.

From a purely personal punting viewpoint, that's the holy trinity of six-furlong handicaps I've landed this season with Rohaan and Commanche Falls before this. I don't think I've managed that before.
