Default Part 2

Race 3

Cockney Rebel certainly the horse to beat. Two impressive victories so far this campaign, beating just about every horse in this field at one stage or another. Creachadoir chased him home valiantly last start, beaten a length but looked to lay in under pressure with the line looming. Not the most inspiring trait, so probably as close as he will go. Some talk about a rematch between Dutch Art and Cockney after their last meeting in the 2000 Guineas. He's a Decoy seemed to only be warming up at the finish last time out, with Duke of Marmalade staying on well for fourth. Cockney the one to beat.

Race 4

George Washington makes his reappearance after disappointing all those lovely fillies at stud, although i'm sure he didn't mind. He is certainly the class horse of the race. Doesn't appear to be much opposition. Evie has won 8 of 9 just beating Ramonti a nose last start, Jeremy looked lost in that race. Cesare steps up in class significantly. It's up to George W here i think, if he's firing he wins. If not, who knows? But at 5/4 i think i'll skip this race altogether and let him run without my $$$$$$.
