Saturday 28th July 2012

Unlucky last night with Red Rhythm done by a nose in a photo, again they're running well so I'm happy with how things are going.

A couple of interests today.

2.55 Ascot

Taajub 2pts each-way @ 14/1 (Bet 365, Blue Square, 888 Sport, William Hill, Independents) - E/W 2nd
Dancing Freddy 1pt each-way @ 40/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)

I can see absolutely no reason why Taajub is 14/1 today after his course and distance win last week, he is an 8/1 shot in my book here and some strange pricing up of sprints as usual is working in our favour. I think he can improve again and defy a penalty, he will need luck in running and he may not be so lucky with the draw from a pace point of view this week but the price compensates and we'll play each-way.

Dancing Freddy does have the luck of the draw here, something he didn't have last week. He led the near side group that day, showing blistering speed in the process. But I've always thought this horse is best with a lead, and he has come up trumps big time with the draw here on a part of the track I feel has been favoured just lately, with two speed monsters, Fratellino and La Fortunata, drawn either side of him. If William Carson can bide his time here, he could bely massive odds and cause a rewarding shock.

3.45 York Sacrosanctus 1pt each-way AND 1pt win @ 18/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)

Clients will note an angle developing here. Sacrosanctus beat Taajub fairly comfortably at Epsom last time out, and I think the form is very strong. He is developing into a very smart sprinter for Scott Dixon and I feel there is more to come given that he is only a four year old. He is game, tough, and has early speed to burn and he is overpriced at 18/1 today. Tom Queally has won on him before and he is a very positive booking.
