Tomorrow's thought(s) 03/10/2015....

...E.W. bet Be Royale 13.40 Southwell 8-1 generally, use BOG firms

Tomorrow there appears to be an excellent jumping fixture at Exeter, with former champion chaser Sir De Grugy no doubt encouraging people to attend that particular fixture. With such decent competitive racing on offer in this sphere plenty of people may not have even afforded the Southwell fixture a glance, however I've been drawn to a Michael Appleby runner in the 13.40 on that card,  with the  hint of a suggestion that this very shrewd handler may have been plotting to land some multi bets given the way they have been campaigned and placed in tomorrow's respective contests.

I'm fairly sure that this may have flashed up on other folks radar, what with the famous Curley gamble being landed in emphatic fashion, followed by a decent effort at a massive coup by team Fahey on Ayr Gold Cup day, landing such big plots via multiplied odds with mediocre animals (this applies to the former) , does look a lucrative way of paying the bills and a whole lot more. I'm not entirely convinced that tomorrow team Appleby have laid out their runners for such a coup, but anyone having a browse at his runners in depth could be forgiven for thinking he was, I'd also wager those that have not run on the surface have been schooled on it during a racecourse gallop, which he has done before.

The horse that may be the second leg of the potential coup is the one I fancy to run a very big race, with Be Royale looking to have been teed up for a decent effort with a warm up race at Kempton a few weeks ago having had the summer off.  That race supplied no clue as to what her wellbeing currently is, but then again she has always seemed to habitually need any sort of run back, usually coming on considerably for it. That run also precipitated the assessor to show leniency, allowing this mare to get into this 0-70 event with no margin of error. Despite not winning off a mark this high she has ran some solid enough races on turf off 73 and twice off 74, the suggestion being she is a better performer on an artificial surface. She's also a mare that most definitely shows improved form going into this time of the year. With lifetime form in November reading 3-1-1-1-2.  Some may be put off by the fact stable jockey Andrew Mullen is not onboard, however Robert Winston get's on with the mare particularly well, from 3 rides boasts a form line of 1-1-4.  Tomorrow the race looks full of pace, which will be much more accommodating to her than the muddling pace that was set in her recent Kempton comeback, with a double figured draw another positive if the stats are to be believed over C/D.


I'm probably looking at something that just isn't there, but it would be very interesting to see how things play out should his first couple of runners go in or even get placed, with quite a few of his runners looking already to have the tinge of oddschecker blue.

GL if you get involved.
