Or you certainly shouldn't, even given my luck lately. Material World may be a non-runner according to Morning Line announcement just before they went off air, in which case Royals Darling's price should contract.
Lingfield 3.25 AJIGOLO 1 point e/w, currently 12/1 with Betfred and Bet Direct. The same people from Mick Channon world who told me Waqaar was going to win (lost badly) now tell me the same about Ajigolo, what do I know. I'm still keeping the faith.
Stratford 2.0 NATOUMBA 1/4 point e/w. Currently 61/1 Betfair, 40/1 Betfred. An absolute lunatic has given me the nod for this one, trouble is he sometimes pops in winners and placed at outrageous prices, and when he's not talking rubbish off the top of his head and says 'the stable expects', that's when it gets interesting. 'The stable expects' a good chance of a place at least this time, and at these odds we might as well risk 1/4 point e/w. |
The market confidence in Royals Darling (6/1 when I tipped it, sent off at 4/1) was evidently misplaced, but I don't think that this was the true form of a horse only narrowly beaten by Detroit City on one occasion.
Ajigolo ran on well in the final furlong but was 3/4 length out of the placings, would have been a nice placer given the odds of 14/1. This should now be backed until it wins.
Natoumba was up with the first 3 but weakened badly.
4.5 points loss on day, 9.9 points loss over 4 days.
3 days to go, lads - place your bets now - is he going to get out of the mire? (Thanks for helpful loan of manure wheelbarrow).
