Hmm. Both my selections went down in flames yesterday, not the best day in terms of punting. It was a joy to watch Dawn Approach destroy his opposition, some well touted horses are still running i think, that’s how bad they were. The O’Brian trio were major flops, and Hannon’s “good thing” couldn’t hold a candle to Dawn Approach, despite reassuring us he’ll win the 2000 guineas. Canford Cliffs anyone? He was meant to win the 2009 2000 guineas, but got beat by a 33-1 shot! Oh and he was meant to beat Frankel in the 2011 renewal of the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. Couldn’t hold a candle to Frankel either.
What i’m saying is, ignore the hype were possible, trainers telling us their going to win isnt a good sign. Over confidence. I’d rather a trainer keep quiet and be super confident amongst his friends as opposed to telling the world!
Blerb over. Time to start making some money.
Hot Snap – 1000 Guineas – 3:50 Newmarket 11/4 Bet365
What’s not to like about Hot Snap. Blisteringly fast times against Sky Lantern last time out, was a bit green and actually off the bridle 2 furlongs out, but when she got the hang of things she shot off like a rocket. Instantly went 4-1 from 25-1 to win the guineas based on that performance, and, to be honest, i can see why. Very impressive. Issues? Well, inexperience is one, greenness is another. In the context of this race today, the opposition is decent but not great enough that she cant overcome what’s put in front of her. If she races like she did in the Nell Gynn, she wins.
A suggested bet is 16-1 Stanjames Hot Snap to win 1000 Guineas & The Oaks. I’ve filled my boots on that one.
My coverbet will be What A Name, from guineas winning french duo Mikel Delzangles and Christophe Lemaire.
