Sunday May 16th

Flambeau won well yesterday putting us in profit for the day.

One big priced bet today.


2.50 Longchamp Mon Cadeaux 1pt each-way @ 40/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)

Ran a nice race behind Society Rock on his reappearance, and has scope for plenty of improvement if he appreciates today's longer trip, which he is bred to do. Jimmy Fortune takes the ride on this colt of Andrew Balding's, a trainer we follow closely here at Strikeline and one who does not tilt at windmills. His draw in stall 4 looks ideal for one who likes to be tucked in and held up for a late run. I think this big field and strong pace will suit really well, and I personally priced him up as a 20/1 shot so I reckon 40's is great value and should be taken to speculative stakes. The trainer sounds happy with him:

"I'm very happy with the colt and everything has gone smoothly since his last race. He was meant to run in a trial at the Craven meeting but had a small problem, so we had to run him over an inadequate distance at Ascot and were very pleased in the circumstances. I've always felt Mon Cadeaux would get a mile, although it's not a given, so we'll have to see. I'm expecting a good run."
