    Dark Shot in the Dash tomorrow, have to put it up today because I don't think it will have a qualifying price tomorrow

    Kenny McPeek is no mug and I think his runner Daddy's L'il Darling will benefit from a stretch out to 12 furlongs.
    Downside is the only time she ran on grass was a bust but with excuses, trip wise.

    At 50/1 I'm more than happy to give this a spin.
    ROLL ON THE RESISTANCE !!!

    Dash - Union Rose and Move In Time, both 33/1

    I can't help thinking both of these are going to make a return to form at some point.

    I have to back Union Rose having put it up the last twice. The form book comment after last week’s race appeared to imply that it’s about to come good soon and it is a price. It’s also drawn high, which I suspect might be an advantage but whether it has the pace to make it count is another matter. Move In Time appeals too but a lot of poor runs require forgiving. He’s 13lbs lower than when beaten ¾ length in the King George sprint at Goodwood having gone up to that mark for winning the previous season’s Abbaye.

    I'm going for Dubai Thunder 20/1 in the Derby - could be anything and the dam won 2 group1's in Germany and finished 2nd in a group 1 in her last 3 races as a 3yo over 1m 4f

    I'll second this. 20/1 is more than fair.

    8.10 Newcastle - Diamond Runner 20s

    Has a squeak. Mark no problem, surface no problem. Doesn't look the strongest race.

    Worth a roll of the dice.

    Unlucky indeed. Dark Shot is one hell of a horse to follow now.

    Kempton 5.55 - Good Luck Charm - 20/1

    Everything looks set for a revival for this one. Just a question of whether it's tonight or a bit further down the line when the mark is even better.

    Seems a fair each way poke at 20/1.

    Put this in my tracker as couldn't believe its running after above posting especially with back mistake landing on fence. Backed it last night at 11/2 BOG cant believe it went off 20/1 and WON!!

    Nothing doing today but going off the in running comments it could be worth sticking in the tracker for a couple of runs. Will watch the replay shortly as I'm just in.
