Saturday, Temple Stakes - Flora Of Bermuda 25/1, 4 places - this is as much an intuitive punt for me as anything else. The other two 3yos, who were first and third in the Palace House, are 16/1 and 9/1 respectively but neither holds an entry in the G1 Kings Stand. Beautiful Diamond holds entries in the Wokingham and July Cup, both over 6f, which kind of points to his future, while Seven Questions doesn't hold any entry beyond this race. I reckon Flora Of Bermuda might be better than both. I'm generally against backing 3yos against their seniors at this stage of the season but the fact that two of them could figure in the likes of the Palace House might say a lot about the older sprinters. Balding is one of my favourite trainers and Murphy is operating at 27% (70% first four finishes) for him this season.

And how about the ew double with Solent Gateway (3.30, 20/1, 4 places, top on my figures and Murphy up, 42% for the trainer this season) for a 545/1 bit of fun

[QUOTE="Desert Orchid, post: 2678849, member: 65242"] Saturday, Temple Stakes - Flora Of Bermuda 25/1, 4 places - this is as much an intuitive punt for me as anything else. The other two 3yos, who were first and third in the Palace House, are 16/1 and 9/1 respectively but neither holds an entry in the G1 Kings Stand. Beautiful Diamond holds entries in the Wokingham and July Cup, both over 6f, which kind of points to his future, while Seven Questions doesn't hold any entry beyond this race. I reckon Flora Of Bermuda might be better than both. I'm generally against backing 3yos against their seniors at this stage of the season but the fact that two of them could figure in the likes of the Palace House might say a lot about the older sprinters. Balding is one of my favourite trainers and Murphy is operating at 27% (70% first four finishes) for him this season. And how about the ew double with Solent Gateway (3.30, 20/1, 4 places, top on my figures and Murphy up, 42% for the trainer this season) for a 545/1 bit of fun :cool: [/QUOTE]
