My inital assessments: (TABQ)

Bel Esprit 13/4 (11/4)
Bunker 7/1 (16/1)
Great Glen 15/2 (11/1)
Helenus 10/1 (13/4)
Titanic Jack 11/1 11/2)

whole field 100%

Doesn't appear to be much value here (as I see it)

Not sure about the kiwi horse but it rates quite well. Anybody with any knowledge of its racing pattern would be most helpful. I would need to know more before it attracted my money.

Great Glen may be slightly over the odds but at 15/2 I hardly think it's a standout.

In my opinion Oliver can lead on Bel Esprit if he wants, else should be no further away then 4/5 hopefully no more than 2 wide.

There is the obvious query at the trip but his form is clearly superior to his own age. Back from running in open class where he was only narrowly beaten in good time at his last two starts he is a genuine chance. As a pure hypothetical, if he had drawn inside 8 I would rate him about 2/1.

If there is sufficient interest I will update this in the morning and provide thoughts on a couple of other races.
