Contrarian Handicapping
Good evening.
A good Friday to bring the blog back to something respectable so hoping I can build on that on Saturday.
Posted earlier on one selection, Al Khaleej for the Bunbury Cup at 25/1 and he's now best at 20's.

7f form figures of 12043021.
2/3 on the July course over 7 & 8f.
Beat Manassas over the C/D last year and had him back in 4th the run before at Goodwood.
Rain around which will help his cause. Lightly raced for a 7yr old.
Top RPR and good speed rating, ran well in big fields,class winner.
Put's in the odd shocker as on his reappearance over 8f this season.
Comes here fresher than most.
25/1 e/w makes a lot of appeal and 33/1 with the sponsors.
Anyone care to join me.
All thoughts welcome. 

My other selection is Shamandar at 16/1 who ran with great promise first time out over 7f at Ascot behind Hawkeythenoo and then ran down the field at Group 2 level at Royal Ascot. Worth forgiving that run and looks to have e/w claims.

In the John Smiths Cup Pekan Star looks the one to beat most obviously but I feel Constant Contact is very overpriced at 16/1.
Reading between the lines his win over Hedwynn reads really well as does his win last year over Invincible Soul (just beaten by Beachfire over 10f at Goodwood and 2nd in last years Brittania)over 8f at Windsor.
He looked to go wrong after that but has returned this year much better.
Amazingly the last five winners of this race had a claimer aboard and with a stable in tip top form at the minute I feel he is well worth a go at a huge price.

AL KHALEEJ 1 POINT E/W AT 25/1 (BOG)
SHAMANDAR 1 POINT E/W AT 16/1

CONSTANT CONTACT 1 POINT E/W AT 16/1 (BOG)
