Fancies For Today II

Lord Glitters is short enough in the 3 30 at Newmarket and is not top rated,Bought for £270000 in France a couple of months ago the gelding already looks a bargain.

Thought to be a group horse in the making,the gelding can take this listed race following an unbelievable win in a very valuable handicap 2 weeks ago,last of 20 a furlong out he had the speed to beat a good yardstick in G M Hopkins.

The same trainer, David Omeara runs SUEDIOUS in the 10 19 at Del Mar,Suedious takes on Roly Poly and Ribchester and will have to run very well to have a chance,however the horse won £500000 race in the US 28 days ago to qualify for this and at 12/1 will come late to challenge and should not be underestimated.An ew bet to small stakes and pp are best price guaranteed in the offices.

Gigginstown are mob handed in the 3. 05 at Down Royal today and because of all the different trainers it is difficult to know who is fancied most.

I backed A Toi Phil ew at 9/2 before one was withdrawn,Jack Kennedy is on board and has a very good chance imo.

Lost a few quid sat bringing a fairly good run to an end,not a lot for me today but I am backing Royal Reserve in the 3 20 at Kempton.With £43,000 to the winner a few of these runners will have been campaigned with this final in mind.

Royal Reserve was only 8th last time behind Seniority,who is 2nd fav today.Royal Reserve was hampered that day and did not have much room before running on well to be beaten 3 1/2 lengths.He was probably trained for this race, is the only runner from the Omeara yard and makes the long journey from York for the inform stable.

6 lbs better off with Seniority today,Royal Reserve is worth a few quid ew at 14/1 (18s in a couple of places) at a course where he has winning form.

This is a genuine question zimmer do you basically back all of o mearas horses blind or do you have a contact in the yard or what

I can't remember having a bet in the Melbourne cup and I cannot advise anyone to get involved in such a competitive handicap, but I was waiting for Marmelo to run in the UK and I think the horse has a lot of class so I put a modest sum on the beast to come out on top.

It has a good chance, but as with more favorites on the Cup, the price is way too short

I think we'll see an irish raid this year. Max Dynamite and Rekindling being my singles, and i'll probably combine with Red Cardinal in a trifecta.

Changed my mind and went for the Red Cardinal win and put Rekindling in the trifecta. Balls

Joseph OBrien sends Grey Waters to Kempton for the 7 45,i must admit I don't know why this one is back on the AW.

Grey Waters beat Masterstonemason a couple of times and that is reasonable form and I expected the horse to be kept over hurdles and I am baffled that he is sent to Kempton for a mickey mouse race worth a couple of grand.

However I am sure Joseph has his reasons and stepping up to 2 miles for the first time on the flat I think the filly will be too good for the horses she meets here,she could be well handicapped over the trip and at 11/4 pp is worth backing.

Glad I took the 11/4 last night,now 9/4 so all she has do is win!

What a price 11/4 was! and there will be more to come when she goes back over hurdles,i will not be surprised to see this filly at Cheltenham in march.

Plenty of racing Wednesday,but not too many bets leaping out at me.I have backed one at 9/1 that is available at a bigger price elsewhere as my only account is with PP.

Maraakib runs in the 3 55,a handicap for amateur riders and will not be everyones cup of tea,Maraakib is rated 65 for this class 5 race and he was rated 89 when 3rd beaten a length in a class 3 in june 2016.He was off for 300 days before coming back this season and it is fair to say he has been somewhat disappointing.

He has been running better of late,travelling strongly before finishing 2nd on the AW and at Redcar,only 7th last time in a similar race,again travelled well out the back before staying on to finish 7 lengths off the winner in a field of 19 at Doncaster.

Very well handicapped if he puts it all together Maraakib is still capable of winning and has been backed a few times recently which suggests David Omeara thinks he can win a race.
The stable is in good form (had a nice winner again today) and an ew punt might give a return

He has a change of rider,James King replacing Alex Ferguson (who has a ride in the race) and could bounce back with a win.
