HEARD ABOUT CHEYNE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE MEETING

Interesting if you go look at the ''money horses'' in Winning Form none of the 24 horses supported last time out won... :huh:

is struben really such a good thing at 9/20. never been on sand, and coxswain had a cracking good sand run last time. at 5 to1 and 4/10 3places is very tempting. struben has to prove polly and coxswain has shown already.

Been plenty of them of late but unfortunately another card I can't say I like much, had 7/9 favs as the most likely winner... spells danger or I've got the wrong glasses on... or both! lol

So, tried with the idiot hat on and didn't make much progress but...

R1 Struben hard to oppose, Coxswain exacta
R2 Hard to ignore the support for Radisha, Jacaranda Flower would be my tentative vote otherwise
R3 On recent form Plain Of Wisdom hard to oppose. Momentous might be coming back to better form though and could mount a challenge.

R4 Blizzard Belle is my selection, not sure about 11/4 though on poly debut after 19 weeks off. Stablemate Sexy And Free and Stamford Bridge likely to be thereabouts. Sweet Parade had possible excuses lto, is on 3rd PE run, fair draw, low weight and back to the minimum and thus might surprise. Cases can be made for Diamond Diva and Tigress Poem. R1 e/w on Steady As Rock simply because I think this horse is a lot better than her recent form indicates and off a featherweight I can't ignore the price. That said, no obvious reason why she should suddenly show better than she has. And the winner will no doubt be one that I've not mentioned... :sick:

R5 Destiny Driven on PE form, from a good draw, is the obvious one and most likely imo. Fashion Scout though has been running respectably against stronger in CT and from the 1 box could be a serious danger and the e/w value. Toby Jug might make up the trifecta. There are plenty tenuous R1 e/w possibilities, on the off chance my three are King Alfred, In Accordance and Leodicus... I'm not saying why cos its all too tenuous to bother writing and you can look for yourselves if you want to! lol

R6 At the prices, I'm going to chance a small e/w on Little Pearl, off this weight from a reasonable draw and on the Poly, I think she might be competitive here. Going partly with greed, for my trifecta Oats and Kono will be added. Captive Action the one I am finding hard to ignore.

R7 On face value, it looked to me to be a 2 horse race and I think O Jallad might just get the better of Virtual Emblem again. Tiring of favs though lol I looked a bit deeper and now lol... my main bet will be an e/w on OJ's stablemate Firth Of Clyde who possibly Gift has chosen to ride ahead of OJ. This one has had a 10 week break but last time out was deemed good enough to be a 4/1 shot in a field including Notting Hill and with Lerena booked. Given that Age Of Aquarius finished well infront of FOC hopefully that run can be ignored, FOC was reportedly not striding out, and the rest will have freshened him up. AOA finished a 3.5l 3rd, from the widest draw, to NH (drawn 3). The significance of AOA is that in FOC's penultimate run he beat AOA 3.25l when they were drawn next to each other and there is only about 0.5 seconds between AOA's times in those two runs. AOA is perhaps not the most consistent and was beaten over 4l by OJ lto but in his penultimate run that gap was only 1.25l. Before I waffle on and on (too late lol), basically, at the prices, on the evidence, FOC looks a very reasonable e/w chance to me. R1s on Lemon Fizz and Pep Talk... I think Greg and H might have mentioned these previously and they didn't say why so nor will I lol

R8 Had enough... I think the last is fairly open, I'm siding with Bergfrue. Somethingdangerous suffered a saddle slip lto and could be competitive if overcoming the draw. R1 on Montserrat, just on the off chance there is more to come on this surface from a fair draw.

Be(s)t of luck to all
