i have this feeling that Niconero is going to win a good race one day.
could be this one,not an overly strong field and good trainer who is doing everything right at the moment and Niconero is not the one Joe Public is going to want to back i would think.could be some value there.
not tipping him just yet...but looks a good race for him,no?

No surprise here:

FOO

Go the FOO'ster!

I am a bit unsure as to who i will be backing as yet as the field seems an even one at this stage. As good as a jockey Darren Beadman is, he has slaughtered Headturner and cost me once against Pendragon , and secondly in the derby where he should of beat both Duelled and Benecio. I would prefer Hawkes had Shinn on it, but i think he is on the Dazzler.


I will wait to see what odds he is at before i talk up his chances.
