This is nowhere near as good as Chris's day one preview but this is about as good as it gets for me and I hope Chris and the other folk chip in as I can't see another thread for Newmarket tomorrow, or I can but I just can't access it!
Right, big jackpot tomorrow and as someone pointed out to me earlier when there’s a big jackpot often people play the jackpot and placepot together, hence creating a bigger fund, so call me crazy but I’m going to attempt it.
1:30: How many times have we seen a horse that’s run in a big race like the derby come down and get beat when hot favourite in a lesser race, I’m afraid my memory is putting me off the favourite. Enroller was 5th in a race at Ascot that they’re all talking about and he has improved significantly this year. The connections do well with the horses they have in training and his course win against the likes of Fiulin does his credentials no harm at all tomorrow. A forecast price of 6/1 is too big in my opinion.
2:00: Sayif was second in a nice little conditions race and his trainer trained his half brother Hunter Street, a group 3 winner over 5 furlongs. I have enormous respect for his trainer and I fancy he can take this.
2:35: Dona Alba’s win off a mark of 80 at Leicester in June is working out well in terms of the winners the race has produced, and John Dunlop knows the family well. A 7 pound rise seems plenty but the horse should still be looking at finishing in the first six, or at least I think she has a realistic chance of doing so. Suzi’s Decision is improving all the time and considering she didn’t have a great run of the race last time she done well to win off 9 stone 8 pounds. Rochefort was behind the well-touted Conduit at Epsom, and considering he was stepping up in class, in his first run of the season, then I think he is definitely going to improve for the run. All three will go in the pot's and I will look at the prices before picking out one, I really do think the winner will come from these three however.
3:10: A tricky race in which I couldn’t help thinking it was what horses hadn’t done rather than what they had done that was apparent, though I give Sagara the vote. He’s got form on soft and probably needed the run against the best in the game last time. He must come on for the run.
3:45 A plus point for Versaki is that he’s won a maiden on soft ground.. I think the breeding for Maxwell Hawke suggests he wants better ground. Ouqba’s 3rd to Art Connoisseur isn’t looking to bad now and he then went onto finish behind a horse called Finjaan who in tern finished 2nd in a listed race, so I think this one’s form is pretty solid. Kentish Dream is a half brother to a horse called Azabara and that horse won a couple of nice races on softish ground. Simon Callaghan is not doing to bad for his first season in training and I think Kentish Dream can chase the already proven Ouqba.
4:20 Another very tricky little race and nothing really I could see on the relative’s side to give me a inclination one might run well. Choose Your Moment ran Redford close and that one is a nice horse. As long as it doesn’t rain too much I give him the vote.
