17/7

Rosenborg drew 0-0 and that's the last time-Europa early stages too unpredictable. Live chatters would have noted another race where it was tight amongst the market leaders, and two became non runners.
The 500 LEicester was the race and Seaway went off odds on after original 1st and 2nd favs Merdaam and Ottoman Empire became non runners - again reaction to circumstances - and wellbefore the Rosenborg game luckily!

The 6 runner race with 3 only under 33/1 was a winner for one a day

235 NEWB
BETTING FORECAST: 13/8 Emerald Commander, 8/1 Haatheq, Lean Machine, Poltergeist, 12/1 Texan Star, 14/1 Banana Republic, Chain Of Events, 16/1 Il Portico, Mandarin Express, Spa´s Dancer, Ultravox, 25/1 Walcot Square, 33/1 Fancy Star, Gene Autry, Helaku, 40/1 Apostle Of Rome, Gordon Flash, 66/1 Claimant.

DIOMED VERDICT: EMERALD COMMANDER ran very promisingly in an above-average Newmarket maiden last week and it will probably take a good one to lower his colours.

Only 2 under 12/1 in the betting forecast, and it's that old story about a market leader who's only previous run was full of promise, expected to win this biggish field maiden 1.41 to place - update at 115pm - has hardened in the betting

115PM UPDATE
245 NOTT
BETTING FORECAST: 15/8 Tasmeem, 9/4 Benrish, 7/2 Running Mate, 11/2 Hill Of Miller, 14/1 Jamarjo, 20/1 Law Of Attraction, 33/1 Field Elect, 100/1 Shercon,

DIOMED VERDICT: Positive market signals for Tasmeem would be very significant but, as things stand, BENRISH is taken to build on the promise of his Ayr debut.

Very tricky given most are newcomers in this maiden but Benrish is a significant non runner and there's only 6 left now with 3 places
3 under 10/1
Tasmeen anad Running mate both 1.3 in a 3 the place race full of risk given debutants and maiden

115PM UPDATE
255 HAYDOCK
BETTING FORECAST: 6/4 Visions Of Johanna, 9/4 King Supreme, 5/1 Maadraa, 11/2 Locum, 12/1 Game Roseanna.

DIOMED VERDICT: No guaranteed front-runner but that shouldn't bother 1m winner VISIONS OF JOHANNA.

Locum is a non runner and there's one clear outsider
1.3 for the main 2 to place (or to beat one to place!)



310 NEWBURY
BETTING FORECAST: 6/4 Showcasing, 5/2 Walkingonthemoon, 5/1 Avonrose, 10/1 Deal, Hearts Of Fire, 16/1 Duplicity, 25/1 Royal Desert,

DIOMED VERDICT: Walkingonthemoon should go well if the ground is good or on the soft side but looks vulnerable to the more scopey SHOWCASING.

Listed event and only 3 under 10/1 -fav is strongly fancied but is a class riser and listed races are naturally made up of top quality horses 1.25 and 2 places and live chatters have seen the folly of 2 the place place betting recently
Now 5/6 and hardened at the head of the betting as I update at 115pm - last 2 have been class 5 and class 4, now in class 1 listed company!

355 NOTT
BETTING FORECAST: 15/8 Cobo Bay, 3/1 Prime Exhibit, 6/1 Jack Cool, 8/1 Ansells Pride, 10/1 Satwa Gold, Toto Skyllachy, 14/1 Full Victory, 16/1 Brouhaha, Hustle.

DIOMED VERDICT: COBO BAY (nap) is due to go up 5lb in future handicaps following his good second at Ayr and he has shown even better form in the past.

Cobo Bay, home to the Rockmount where I am going to see a U2 tribute act on Sunday, looks well in here in this now 7 runner race with hopefully still 3 places 1.39 in an illiquid market
Amy Ryan claims 5 and rode Cobo to 2nd of 11 last time out

430 NOTT
BETTING FORECAST: 11/8 Phoenix Enforcer, 7/2 Moggy, 13/2 King´s Chorister, 8/1 Independent James, Paymaster In Chief, 12/1 Nouailhas, 16/1 Fleur De´Lion, 20/1 Black Nun.

DIOMED VERDICT: PHOENIX ENFORCER comes out clear best on adjusted BHA ratings and her trainer has a good strike-rate in sellers.

Price gapper in a seller - 1.23 to place -UPDATE - now strong odds on shot but we must account for the race type - BUT 3 places

455 NEWBURY
BETTING FORECAST: 4/5 Ashram, 7/2 Bonnie Charlie, 9/2 The Cheka, 8/1 Summer Fete, 20/1 Tropical Paradise, 40/1 Kaabari.

DIOMED VERDICT: ASHRAM (nap) will take some stopping on his fine Royal Ascot effort.

A 3 horse race (4 at a stretch) for 2 places. Diomed is sweet on Frankie's mount 1.38 to place

505 NOTT
BETTING FORECAST: 2/7 Phillipina, 13/2 Silk And Satin, 8/1 Samaaha, 16/1 Bessie Lou, 20/1 Park Melody, 33/1 Anessia, 40/1 Nawojka, Salamon, 50/1 Seeking Faith, 150/1 Hindford Oak Sioux, Noble Attitude.

DIOMED VERDICT: The 103-rated PHILLIPINA sets a useful standard back in maiden company and should be difficult to beat.

Fillies have their minds on make up and shopping but this is quite a price gap and the hint of a "hard to beat" and these tend to place regularly - the default bet today perhaps if there is nothing better? 1.07 to place - may be a case of taking our medicine today in a poor day?

905 KILBEGGAN
BETTING FORECAST: 6/4 Huckle Buck Shoe, 5/1 Miss Mary Mac, 6/1 Logan´s Manor, 7/1 Butlers Glen, 8/1 Celia´s Express, Irish To The Core, 10/1 Daneva, Plan Of Action, Running Dale, 12/1 Eyelash Island, 14/1 Cordless, 16/1 Belville View, 20/1 Bemo Three, Kizmehoney, 25/1 Cailin Blath, 33/1 Tungsten Steel,

Price gapper in an unappetising evening ,simply because this is a Mullins horse in a bumper - fav by reputation/ - highly illiquid market

THe Spuds are away to Harry's old club Bourmenouth tonight and are 1/4 and should prevail of course but this is a friendly 1.3 NOT IN RUNNING


SHORTLIST
235 NEWBURY - Emaerald commander 1.35 now to place - a 10 point swing from when I first wrote the blog earlier. BUT only one run - how can we be sure he will replicate in a big field maiden

245 NOTT MUST be of interest with the non runners - 6 runners left and 3 places - perhaps running mate -with the experience under his belt , will NOT get beaten by 3 other horses ?

505 NOTT - Phillipina looks a good selection based on nothing more than the price gap
could be enhanced by backing at 1.55 and trying to get out at 1.30 in running ( assumption is the horse will run as his price and reduce at least .25 points to allow for an equivalent 1.25 bet.
-
ONE A DAY
245 Nott is yet another probability race BUT who to chose? There are 3 under 10/1 so that's a starting point.
3 have run before versus 3 debutants
The shortest priced horse with experience is Running Mate at 2/1 and surely he will run as price dictates?
The fav Tasmeem is a $130,000 horse and a debutant and is currently 6/4. Good flat stable - do you follow the market or opt for shortest priced horse with experience?

505 NOTT- Phillipina has run in some big top class races and deserves the 1/2 quote. 1 mile 3 furlongs a niggle as is the jockey who takes over from Ryan Moore as the former can claim 5 lbs.
This, I think, will be my one a day to back to win at current 1.54 and place a lay bet in running to trigger at 1.30.
Currently 1.08 to place which is rising and may hit 1.1?

So take your pick.
Of course, as ever, if I can do the live chat, no doubt we will have the advantage of market movers and late non runners allowing us to alter from the above 2 which have the disadvantage of pre race information only
