My focus is always on the better class races and almost exclusively ones for the older horses.

I don't see the need for it myself - it is definitely riding on the slow side of good - and they have put 18mm of water on in a few dayshttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/29032031/turf-flat-handicaps-2012?post_id=518120593#518120593Well my first comment about the Spring Mile is about the going which appears to have been massively over watered.

Also like Mull of Killough and also did Fury AP in the Lincoln but his draw couldn't be worse. I have also done Amitola on here at 120 at very small stakes as he just might get a very easy lead,https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/29032031/turf-flat-handicaps-2012?post_id=518098621#518098621I too like Snow Bay and Light From Mars of yours judo.

The York form would be easily enough for him to win herehttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/29032031/turf-flat-handicaps-2012?post_id=518097975#518097975you are very welcome thieves, I see a successful thread holder on the main racing forum also likes Snow Bay (Robster, "For The New Year" thread) and i really do like him.
