So, st Leger day and I've crept out from under my rock (boulder lol) to look at what's on offer.
Suffice to write that this has not been a good flat season for me but fortunately I have not incurred too much of a pocket - hit so that's a relief.
I do like this meeting and although any bets will be nominal, I thought I'd try three for size:
Galeron - 1.15 Doncaster 13/2 Ew 4 places.
I was taken by his run at Sandown in July and he went into my notes thus:
His last run convinced me that 1m or further is the deal so now he's rated 5Lbs lower than that Sandown run, I have to give him an ew go.
The Portland is always a good watch and difficult, the 5.5f being quite a specific task.
Seven Questions - 2.25 Doncaster 50/1 Ew 6 places
Yes, I know: 50/1.
I'm loving the price rather than intimidated by it. Cowell certainly knows the time of day with his sprinters, doesn't he. he went into my alerts in June and I made these comments:
28/06/25 York H/cap Cl2 3yo+ 5f Good OR 103
It could be that this trip will be right up his street and what with being 7Lbs lighter here than that York run and the first-time visor, I'm happy to take a lovely ew price.
2 x Ew singles
Ew double
Lastly, I had great hopes for Scandinavia earlier on in the season and he's paid in full. Yes, he's a cup horse but I wouldn't be deserting him now.
Good luck.
