Lets pick the hardest race of the day Shocked

..2.50 ascot looks a nightmare and in all honesty it does not let anyone down 28 runners thundering down the 5f could be mistaken for a cut scene from charge of the light brigade. However i am in the thinking here that Elhamri is very overpriced @ 65s on the exchange. Elhamri is a horse that loves a scrap and if the jockey can get him in the mixer in the last 1f this horse could trade really short. 65s looks crazy to me, But then again its a crazy race to be investing in Confused

I can't argue with that!!!!

But if I had a moment of insanity I might try to trade Bertoliver who's 80+ at the moment.

Very little natural pace (from the pace cards) for such a large field with only Bertoliver and Strike Up The Band having enough consistent -9's to score a -9 overall. It last raced in a listed race at Chester which was choc full of pace:

Yet even from an outside draw it's comment read:
prominent, went 2nd over 3f out, challenged 2f out, ridden over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong

There's a fair chance that he'll be leading 2f out and may well trade a fair bit lower than 80's IR

After the fav was withdrawn I had Bertoliver at 78.
Laid it back IR at 34, 30, 17 and 13 for a nice bit of green Smile

Should have put it i the DOM/DOB list.
It was all about the pace - Strke up the band pulled the high numbers along and gave those low drawn no chance.
