Taunton 2:10 Valdan e/way - I think 28/1 e/way looks massive - value bet in a poor field - travelled well l/t/o before freikishly unseating rider at a path - most of the good horses in the race look to out of love with the game - this horse still a battling spirit after losing his rider.
2.10 Taunton 1st 8 Small Fly (IRE) 9-2 2nd 1 American Cricket (IRE) 10-3 3rd 9 Valdan (IRE) 28-1
well done
went odds-on after jumping last in front
6.40 Perfect Fantasy ..decently bred in context of the oppo here...
should be about evens here imo..but trades at 3.75 at the mo.
got little to beat here in heartsong & el mcglynn...the biggest danger would be yarra valley but even that one looks to need a stiffer test than this on breeding
decent bet for me
the fav in that race..8.10... is a lay Chef imo
record when rated above 81 = 580062355652
rated 85 tonight
8.40 Kempton
Ducal v She Aint A Saint
William Hill bet 5/6 each of 2 in this match bet but I really fancy Ducal (11/4f) to come home in front of SAAS (6/1). Current Betfair prices 3.95 v 8.8, 5/6 seems a gift.[/QUOTE
