Well, yesterday was a bit of an epic failure. A few of the horses sneaked into places at big prices but overall, it was one of the worst days of Cheltenham for punters. How disappointing.
Today picks up nicely however, we have lots of juicy races to get our teeth into. I will continue to side with Arabella Boy in the last race (the Cross Country), I outlined his chances in the day 1 preview I wrote.
My 2nd bet is a forecast in the 2:40, Cue Card 1st and First Lieutenant 2nd. This to me is a two horse race. First Lieutenant loves it at Cheltenham but in recent times he’s almost always found one too good. That one today, could be Cue Card. The horse has won some great races up to now, beating Captain Chris last time out (who lines up in the Gold Cup) and Finians Rainbow (Albeit a very poor run from last years Cheltenham Festival winner). The horse loves to bowl along in front, and his 2nd to Sprinter Sacre last year at Cheltenham is looking quite good. Not forgetting his short head defeat to the Gold Cup favourite at Newbury in 2011.
You can get around 11.53 on Bet365 right now on the forecast (Cue Card to beat First Lieutenant) – I’d suggest a cover on the latter horse beating Cue Card just in case he gets his nose in front today.
You may want to follow me on on this bet, but only go small!
Dynaste, Ely Brown, Cue Card, Oscar Whisky, Kapga De Cerisy, No Secrets, Arabella Boy.
I would go each way on all these multiples.
SHOW ME THE MOOLAH!
