If this race actually goes ahead ( Fridays meeting already in doubt due to waterlogging ) then i cannot fathom out this market whatsoever.
Nicholls horse Macfabulous appears to have been backed of the boards ( around 5/2 as I type ) yet i am struggling to comprehend just why ?
He did win reasonably well at Market Rasen last time where the race was perfectly set up for him, however, he is going to find this a completely different set of circumstances on Saturday & a form line through Hometime Boy who he beat lto gives him a mountain to climb if he wants to beat Hurricane Harvey who is currently available at 14/1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the look of the F O'brien horse and at that price with PP and BFSB he must have a great shout.
He as garnered experience of bad ground racing and having to dig deep to tough out a win and looks to be improving rapidly. He has a great style of racing as he finds plenty of the bit and can stay further than the trip which is being run here, I think he has to go well.
All in all this price doesnt really add up to me unless they know more than I do ????
Sandown has been abandoned for fridays card and an inspection for saturday will be held sometime on friday. Weather forecast is drier for fri / sat but damage could already be done !!
