Clearly meant War Artist

and before you say it, Sayif not in the same class as WA, not the other way around

downy knows[:o]

They're a bit reetardeded [;)]

Didn't think i'd get used to the purple forum, but I have, and it's quite decent now tbf

I'm very unconvinced about this one

unconvincing cheap gash

think you boys need to have a long hard look at sayifs last race imho

did this in another thread


Main Aim - paper fav - does run well first time out... with positive bulletins from stable... also fav has won every two years (in the last 10 years) ... last two fav beaten so due win now. 5/2 not good value though so will take this one on...

Starspangledbanner... must be respected by stable who dont have that many sprinters remember US Ranger? interesting but too much weight.

Sayif - runs well first time out... vunreable to a lower weighted horse

Showcasing.. 3yr old with an age allowance... not many 3 year olds have run in this so difficult to assess... but you think that more experienced horses should get the better...

Prime Defender - beaten by INXILE but was a good run, ew shot

MullionMileAnhour - from a stable that have produced good 2 year old sprinters...  like Kingsgate Native, but now 4, but still interesting, will make Equiano look like a good thing if he takes this. But has draw 12 - will be tough from there

Doncaster Rover - needed the run just behind Equiano and Mullionmile, but 3 times the price... reckon will be 10s on the day

Damien - was backed 2 runs ago down to 5/1 from double figure odds - had 8 months off so needed the run.  Ran an eyecatching race against Markab... 25s is a decent price... as expect more improvement to come

Angelzarke - Some decent form 3rd againt Scenic Blast - but has never won at 6f... but Fahey string must be respected in a race like this.  has not run at 6f for a couple of years will be interested to hear trainers comments on the day.

Judd Street - too old - nice draw though

Edge Closer - shown nothing last year... leap of faith required to back this

InXILE - Dandy said he would be sharp for his last run and duly obliged.  It was first try over 6f and won.  12/1 decent price suprised if out of the top three


The three I like are Doncaster Rover 20/1 and Damien 25/1 and INXILE 12/1

good luck.

Plat - wouldn't put anyone off Sayif, and I can see why you like him also a good fto record, am undecided about him tbh.

If this was over 5f i'd be uber keen on Anglezarke, am 50-50 on her atm.

The one I am starting to like is Showcasing - was a big brute of a 2yo, Cd winner, has speed, 9/2 is a bit skinny, will see what the vibes are.

THE going at York remained good on Monday afternoon as they inched closer to the start of the Dante meeting on Wednesday.

Clerk of the course William Derby said: "We have had one millimetre of rain in the last 24 hours and it has been acool, breezy day and dry this afternoon.


"Overnight the forecast is for it to be cool and cloudy with a chance of passing showers."


The first day of the meeting is expected to be dry with sunny intervals, with temperatures around the 12C mark. Derby said there were "no plans to water at this stage."     

The GoingStick reading was 8.0 at 3pm on Monday afternoon

Doncaster Rover for me, Frankie to bring it home, 20/1 is huge & i expect this to be much shorter on the day, maybe 12/1 or less.

really want to take main aim on.  think SSB is the danger

Bit of money for yours plat... either confident connections or perhaps you've been wisepriced.

Duke of York -
Still chopping and changing here!

Like Showcasing except for the draw, 11 is not good here! Not sure about a 3yo in this race either? Only 4 have tried in the past decade, one was 3rd, one mid div(the only one that was fancied) and the other pair were last and 2nd last. But he was a great big 2yo.

If the gnd is not too quick Inxile surely is a great ew/place bet. Prime Defender does looks big compared to Inxile though, but he looks fairly exposed, despite being in good form.

Can't have Judd St, Edge Close, Damien or Donc Rover.

Like Angelzarke, but doubts over the trip and quality persist.

Main Aim is too short and I cannot be backing him.

Starspangledbanner is the joker in the pack, being winning top Aussie sprints, but never run in a straight line before. Will watch the marker vibes, looks saver material.

Sayif has been tipped by the man that matters on here, visually impressive lto, but that was an end of season sprint(collateral form is poor). He does look over priced at 12s thought!

Clear as mud.

Down, Sampower Star won it as a 3yo 11 years ago

Inxile & Sayif e/w, saver on SSB

Got this off the RP tt,


GOING: GOOD (Good to firm in places; GoingStick 8.6) (As per September and October 2009, incorporating south (home) bend extension from 9f to entrance to home straight - reducing race distance for races over 9f by 27yds). (Light rain showers)
STALLS: 1m 4f - Centre; 5f, 6f & 7f - Far side; Remainder - Inside

tt - apparently previously banned forumites are allowed to return now, so I read the other day on soccer room.

FYI
