Good afternoon.
I'm pretty sure I'll be adding another pick or two tomorrow but my first one at 16/1 the first 5 is the gutsy battler Ermyn Lodge who looks sure to give a good account of himself.
He fits plenty of stats and trends of previous winners and is really game at the finish and rarely goes down without a fight which is a good thing to have on your side in such a race.
His form figures more or less speak for themselves but of more interest
is that aside from his first ever run his form off a break of 60 days or more reads 1112 and tomorrow will be his first run for 63 days.
Ian Mongan, steps back aboard tomorrow and he clearly gets on very well with the horse. From stall 2 he could well get the run of the race and although not a trader myself he looks just the right type if thats your thing.With plenty of positives 16/1 looks a decent e/w price and the only negative is that I have picked him given recent efforts.
ERMYN LODGE 1 POINT E/W AT 16/1 (BOG THE FIRST FIVE)
