Grub be careful imo..... the best horses in england and ireland are running in all 30 races with lots of races under 1m, Malfair has 35-50l at around 2.1 I think this is where it will be.

Carlso will be up tonight with a preview so for those who are keen for a late night punt fund your Malfair accounts for some in running action

Any reasons why your laying the Blast?
I think it's got every hope, providing the outside rail plays evenly. Although, i'm a bit worried about how many horses go to the outside, Blast likes to get cover and he might find it tough if only a few horses follow him to the outside.

[Davey Carlson]

5f sprints are just paydays for bookmakers in general especially at the big meetings so be very careful imo. bbl with some thoughts on the meeting.

also note UniGoat are betting fixed on this meeting so load up your tab phone account as there is a chance of a gift if we follow betfair and play at the right time

TAB Jockey challenge has....

41531 HUGHES Richard $2.50
41532 MURTAGH Johnny $2.85
41533 MOORE Ryan $5.00
41534 DETTORI Frankie $11.00

Sportingbet....

R Hughes 2.55
J Murtagh 3.60
R Moore 3.90
F Dettori 8.50
Any Other Unlisted Rider 13.00


I think sportingbet are on the money so I have had $300 on Moore, $150 on Dettori and $100 on any other with the TAB...... 47 differentjockeys in 6 races ... jockeys room should be a bit crammed

[Davey Carlson]

grub imo its all aboard time - r moore at 5.00 is a huuugguggeeee price murtagh has got none imo has one winner and a couple of horses that are in the market because hes on. Moore is the proven best jock in the uk and at the big meetings the cream can rise to the top

[another grub]

he is the standout in that group of 4...... fingers crossed

[Davey Carlson]

Here is a preview of the king stand that is done by a mate who is a pro in the uk.

The King’s Stand Stakes (3.05)
Amour Propre is expected to set a strong pace here. The son of Paris House, who cost a mere 1,500gns as
a yearling, landed the Cornwallis Stakes on the third of his three victories last season and looked better
than ever on his return when making most to beat Hoh Hoh Hoh in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes at
Newmarket.
Scenic Blast has been showing steady improvement in his native Australia this spring. A strong-finishing
type, he will be suited to the fast pace and is sure to be doing his best work in the final furlong of the
race. With form over a mile, the concern for backers is that he could get going too late.
Fleeting Spirit, who landed the Temple Stakes by two lengths from Borderlescott on her return to
action last season, finished third to Equiano in this race last year. Not disgraced in the Prix de l’Abbaye
and Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint on her next two starts, this smooth-travelling filly is comfortable at Group 1
level and relishes the likely
fast ground. Successful first time out in her two seasons to race, the daughter of Invincible Spirit can
produce a scintillating turn of foot when things fall right
for her. The one concern is that she can sometimes miss the break, although that could work in her favour
given the likely shape of this race.
Of the others one can never exclude the remarkable Borderlescott, who won the Group 1 Nunthorpe
Stakes last season, He will be up here battling up with the pace. Dandy Man, fourth here last year,
doesn’t seem to have improved from that run. Last year’s winner Equiano has been disappointing this
season but Tax Free, who beat him at Newmarket, could go well at a long price. Anglezarke is very
genuine and Spin Cycle, who was unlucky last year in the Norfolk Stakes, could also go well.
With Amour Propre and Borderlescott expected to set a strong pace this could
favour the strong-finishing Scenic Blast and Fleeting Spirit, with the latter the
most favoured. Tax Free could be the best outsider.
