The reason I did it in January is that it was returning from a year off to try and win the same race at Fontwell and it looked a race it could win. It ran superbly until turning for home when it went up and down on spot. I thought it needed the run and would do better next time. It didnt.
I have just looked and the reason was it went up to a rating of 83 after that win, 13 more than it had been and has been at that for its last three runs. It has won twice once at Fontwell and once at Plumpton which was over tomorrows trip. It should handle heavy or soft ground.
Last time out it had to be rousted along the whole trip and then finished last.
My reading of the form is that it is in the handicappers grip at moment. Unless it has dropped back down significantly ie to its old mark i wouldnt back it tomorrow. Everything says it wont win until back at its old level. Having said that it has got course form so starnger things have happened.
I would only do it if you dont fancy anything else in the race!!!
Thanks father I couldnt see anything in the form which would tell me to back it.
to be honest cant see past the favorite in that race.
Having said that i will probably get to a minute before the off and end up having a small e.w just in case! lol
my atr tracker emailed me to tell me boy of boru is also running at fontwell today and its in a memorial race for a pompey local from back in the old 657 days so that will probably be 2 completly waste just in case bets
Bad day with betting got the place pot up payed as massive £11 to the £1 Goring two ran exactly as you predicted shoved along most os the second circuit and went out like a light Posted by BADBOY985
well done on the placepot and thank goodness I was right for a change.
