Fancies For Today III

Did the double 😞

Nomenclature 8oc Tramore worth a little ew tonight also Dalileo at 12s is worth an ew bet in Perth at 7.05

Brasil Power looks a good bet to win the 4.45 at Kempton today under a 5lb penalty for a recent win,the penalty is negated by the claim of the excellent claimer Tommy Jakes who is very good.

Forza Orta won the 4.10 at York last year and looks to have been prepared with the race in mind again this year.

Looks a decent ew bet with 5 places ew available.Hollie Doyle on board the horse who likes the course and at around 10/1 is worth a bet.

Bergerac got 6th at 28 to 1 so not too bad Paddy paying 6 online.

Best bet tomorrow at York is Metal Merchant in the 3 oc, a mile handicap worth 150,000 pounds.

A few good handicappers chasing this pot and in form local trainer David OMeara has 6 runners.

One of his who won lto is New Image who will be well fancied with Oisin Murphy on board.

He must have a good chance but I strongly fancy 4year old Metal Merchant who has been running well in some big field handicaps over a mile and looks sure to go close here at around 10/1.

I will have a bit more on ew than I would normally have in a race like this as I believe he will be almost impossible to keep out of the places and should be very strong at the finish. Paddy Power and others go 6 places and we should take it.

Had not intended to get too involved today am waiting for one of my favourite races.the Ebor tomorrow at York and wil post my answer to that puzzle tonight.

However when looking at the York card today I backed four ew in single bets.

1.50 The 11 year old Euchen Glen can defy his age and get involved at around 14/1 ew 4 places.

3oc Andesite.a super trainer and the most underrated jockey riding Danny Tudhope should go close.

Big Evs 3.35 keeps running well and must have a good chance.

5.20 Dosman in a tricky handicap could be the answer 5 places available.

A horse that never raced would not normally be on my radar but I was told that Bambalam is supposed to be good (cost a lot at the breeze up sales having breezed very well) so I put a few quid ew on.

The Ebor seems even harder than usual.Two who could go well are Naqueeb near the top of the weights but classy and Sea King trained by Mark Prescott both could be involved in what is a very tough handicap that one almost needs to be group class to win.

The Melrose handicap over the same trip provides a very good ew bet in Spaceport at 16 to 1.
Reaching High is fancied and a short enough price but Spaceport beat him 17 lengths and is no worse off at the weights and is the value bet of the day at 16s 5 places.

Runs in the 3.35 Goodwood on softish today good ew bet
