    Unforgettable Filly looks the clear value here. She ran well in the 1000 Guineas last year and won twice after. She fell away in her last 2 runs last year but if she is back to form there isn’t that much between her and the likes of Urban Fox who is a much shorter price.33/1 is value

    Expert Eye is worth taking a chance here at 14/1. He is 3 out of 5 with decent runs and his 2 blowouts have been in group 1s. I wouldn’t be writing him off yet and todays trip should suit him. I’m also taking a small flyer on Madeline, who is a speedy filly and this trip and ground should really suit here. She was poor last time but the race couldn’t have a panned out any worse for her.
    1 Point win 14/1 Generally Expert Eye

    Tony Curtis sticks out here at a big price. He ran well of higher than this mark last year twice in a light season and 50/1 with 6 places looks very good for a very likely placer here. He has a tough of class and could well improve for his 2 runs this year.
    2 Points ew 6 places paddy 50/1 5 places betfair

    7 places with Sky, also worth consideration, but @41.

    Ideally should've combined any selections with Ronnie (1stGS @3) in Porgugal v Morocco earlier today at 1pm, he scored within just 4mins, which was inevitable considering his hat-trick in the previous game.

    Safer e/w acca builder option, well priced for 7pl might be Raising Sand @17.

    Mount Moriah is very close to the rest of this field apart from the top 3 here and has very good course form behind the fav . 66/1 is the price I was looking for . We will need 1 of the 3 to run below form but are getting the price for the risk .

    Petrus looks value here . He has some classy form and ran a nice race behind Without Parole at Sandown . 66/1 with 6 places strikes me as decent value

    Actress is one of my horses to follow this year. It was costly for me to be in the air when she won 2 weeks ago but seems to be coming to the boil nicely. I have to have a small EW bet here just in case.

    Wisdom Mind seems to be an improving filly. She hasn’t had a great deal of luck in her last 2 runes but is certainly on a workable mark. She seems very likely to place here.

    Sir Robert Cheval was an improving sprinter at the end of last year. He has a very decent record at Ascot and a good record fresh. He is trained by a sprint specialist and to day has to have been the plan. He’s worth a shot at 50/1.

    Idaho gets his perfect conditions here today and 5/1 is to big in this race. He is against an quickly improving horse but the fav will need to have improved again.
    2 Points win 5/1 generally

    5:35
    Nearly Caught looks the clear second fav here. I don’t think Count Octave will stay and in reality this is at best a 6 horses race. In that context the 12/1 about Nearly Caught is very good value. He does have to concede 5lbs and its only this fact that is making this not the bet of the year so far. Still he has a great chance.

    If there is a potential Group horse in here, it might just be Tis Marvellous. He looked a very good 3yo sprinter last year and ran well in the Commonwealth. He was poor in his second run in Mayden but improved on his first run back this year. He is certainly here on a good mark on last years form and should be improving as he’s only 4. 20/1 looks value

    Draycott Place 12/1 winner, crikey. You are on a roll Aidan.

    I will remove it from the tracker after not backing it again :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,473 ✭✭✭longshotvalue


    I’m going to be changing the way i’m putting up selections from tomorrow, and try my hand and the lower priced end of the mark for a decent period of time. Its doesn’t mean there wont be any longshots as there will still be the odd standout ones when the price warrants it. I think its more difficult to make a profit at shorter prices but i want to give it a shot and see what happens. Follow at you peril. I intend to go mostly with twitter as there i can post selections very close to the off if required

    Irish Derby 5:15

    I pretty annoyed as I’ve had The Pentagon on my mind for this all week and the price is on the slide downwards there now. I think he is among the best of Ballydoyles 3yo’s and although he didn’t really show it in the Epson Derby i think he could well improve a fair amount here today. This track and ground will be right up his street and I fully expect him to be in the 3. We may just take what remains of the 25/1 EW sooner rather than later.

    Predictably I like the 2 big outsiders of the field here. Clever Cookie got no luck in running last year in this and i think if he can get over his draw he can get involved here of this mark. Arch Villain has a remarkable record fresh  011214 and there is every chance he can get involved here at a huge price. He was a very good 4th in last years Ebor which has worked out well, again of a break. 66/1 with 5 places is easily enough to justify the risk.

    I'm going for Morando in the 3:30 at 14/1

    Ill probably be sticking with just twitter from now on, mainly due to time.

    There more than likely wont be anymore selections on these treads.

    Time to set up a WhatsApp group and then post the selections in there when they go up on Twitter. Can't expect him to do everything for us.

    Seems fair enough,do you want to put the whatsapp group link on here and then remove it in a few days are should we do the link through pm?

    I hate twitter, and the only reason I use it is because of Aidan’s tips. I just set it up to get a notification every time he posts something, it works really well. I see it the minute he puts it up, where as it could be hours or more before I log on to boards and see it here


  • Registered Users Posts: 84 ✭✭Tipp star


    I shall set it up-let me know if link doesnt work. I will remove it in a few days.

    Huntsmans Close has just come down a bit too far for his last run when he was never in the race. Worth a tiny bet

    Hope it’s ok to share this here

    Hoof It ran well at the end of last year , will improve for his first run and this looks a poor race for the money . Plenty of 4 place offers

    No time given, but seems to be 19.20 @Hamilton

    Any chance we can close this tread. I tend to close each tread and then start a new one at some stage . I'll probably start the next with the Hennessy .

    I cant resist a bet on huge outsider Treasure Chest here. He stuck his head down to win a decent race over hurdles lately and has run well here before. He tends to travel prominently which is an advantage here.
