THE ENTRIES
SOUTH PHILLY Moleh 10/1 T Smith
4 YO COLT
Epsomdowns
Son of Silver Deputy capable of smart form on his day. 2 runs back recorded a 104in an 8.5 furlongs allowance finishing 2nd. Disappointed last time out but has been given time to get over it. Suspicions that 8.5 furlongs may be his best trip but respected nevertheless.
THE END FORTIES Bbudgies 25/1 J Diggs
4 YO COLT
EAAA
Winner of 2 of his 18 races, this one hinted at a return to form running a 95 in an 8.5 furlongs $100000 claimer. Had 2 previous runs at the trip and hasn’t covered himself in glory. On the plus side he may still be improving but would have to improve significantly to be placed.
BOLWEISER Epsomtj 99/1 F Sharlow
8 YO HORSE
Epsomdowns
Whilst his record of 2 wins in 61 races hardly inspires confidence neither does his poor speed figures. Jockey F Sharlow was heard to be cursing his luck when the race announcements were made. I do believe that the bookies have got it wrong with this one though. If you ran this race 100 times old Bolweiser wouldn’t win once.
SHARK BITE Coolk 7/1 A Edwards
4 YO COLT
EAAA
This one has a lot going for it. Classily bred, good form over the trip and one of the most successful trainers in sim world. Returning to the same trip where he won the 9 furlongs JAIL JOE special stakes with a 106 earlier in the season, this is many punters idea of the winner
TWOREDTWOREDTWORAH Epsom 12/1 D Bowie
5 YO HORSE
Epsomdowns
Twored has been in really good form this term, never finishing out of the first 3 in 7 races and winning 4 of these. But im gonna stick my neck out and totally dismiss his chances out of hand as a non stayer.
FOLLOW YOUR STARS Pocket8 33/1 C Spoerer
4 YO COLT
Epsomdowns
Has been badly out of form recently and even if he ran his best ever race over 9 furlongs, would still be staring at horse backside. No real hope
TWO WELL FANS Bigscoobi 9/1 C Crawford
4 YO COLT
Epsomdowns
Smartly bred son of Lear fan, this game frontrunner has performed well this season, winning last time out over 8.5 furlongs with a 104. He may have to produce around about that figure to feature over this 9. My suspicions is that he may just set up the race perfectly for the EAAA finishers.
DELIVER THE GOODS Cocalico 33/1 B Dawg
5 YO HORSE
Epsomdowns
This one is most unlikely to live up to his name. This veteran of 44 races has always looked more comfortable over 7 furlongs. Very little chance
EXEMPTION Cuthbert1 8/1 T Liverson
4 YO COLT
Epsomdowns
Well bred speedy sort but he`s gonna run into big trouble in this race. Probably not fast enough to head two well fans for the lead, and also a doubtful stayer. I would want a lot bigger than 8`s before I backed this one.
LUCKY`S GLORIOUS Peachman 33/1 Y Rhino
4 YO COLT
Epsomdowns
Winner of 6 of his 12 races including a 9 furlong starter allowance 3 runs back, this ones down in my book as a darkhorse. He must improve and has a poor last run to get out of his system but it looks like his favoured trip. May not win but could snatch a surprise place.
ARABIAN SHOW Cooldude 13/1 S Wylan
4 YO FILLIE
EAAA
This well bred filly may struggle against the boys. Probably racing over her best trip, the trouble being her best speed ratings leave her a bit short of this standard. Cannot totally discount as she is guided by the master trainer.
ENOUGH SNATCH Scootboy 11/1 A Breadfan
7 YO HORSE
EAAA
Nice to see a up and coming rookie trainer with an entry in the race. In fine form of late since being picked up in the claimers by his present trainer. May snatch some points for his res. Fingers crossed
SECOND ACT MAGOO2912 14/1 S Ledwith
5 YO HORSE
Epsomdowns
Boasts 11 wins from 42 runs, he is probably going over his best trip. Flopped last time out and would have to improve on his lifetime best to figure here.
CODORNIU Pogs 6/1 f J Plummer
4 YO COLT
EAAA
Early price favourite, this ones a very interesting runner. Placed in his last 6 without winning one . the consistent speed figures do instil a little hope. No doubt about the trip and laid out for this, he has gotta go close. Could have the race set up for him by the frontrunning Two Well Fans.
ANITA BLAKE Bargainbin 14/1 I Swanny
4 YO FILLY
Epsomdowns
Filly not without some class, this girl would probably have a much better chance if this race was ran over 8 furlongs, where she recorded a 101 on her penultimate start. Up against it here taking on the boys, she may just be able to sneak a couple of points for her res.
GARDINER Kingswood 8/1 R Harzeim
6 YO HORSE
EAAA
Eyecatching jockey booking ,this one comes from `Sheikh Kev`s conveyer belt of true bluebloods. Ran 100 last time out in a 9 furlong allowance, here is one man not brave enough to say it aint gonna win. Could form part of a
I DIG YOU Capotecat9 24/1 D Mustaine
4 YO COLT
Epsomdowns
Consistant plodder, looks outclassed here.
MUSICALITY Kevoman4 27/1 T Nugent.
4 YO COLT
EAAA
Here`s a rarity, a Kev runner thats an outsider. Don’t be fooled though, this ones still got a fair chance. Lightly raced and open to improvement Musicality ran a 99 over 9.5 furlongs two runs back. Cracking jockey booking , dismiss at your peril.
The Verdict
Well taking an impartial view of things it really should be a cakewalk for EAAA. Two Well Fans may well set up the race for the fast finishers, and both Shark Bite and Codorniu are sure to be flying at the death. I will stick my neck out and predict an EAAA
