Certainly not one of the best races I have ever seen even less impressive with the scratching of Charge Forward. I highly doubt I will bet on the race will probably just sit and watch more interested to see how the likes of Modem and Sky Cuddle go will be happy enough just to see them both run on nicely good to see Modem over here though that is for sure.

There'll be a decent deduction on that Brave Chief, but im happy i will still get roughly $2.25 and Charge Forward did look the only danger.

Spark of Life apparently worked well at the Valley during the week. As you say, he will dictate, or at least he won't be pressured. He's the deserved top pick, b/c they WILL have to run him down, and they'll have to go to their best to do it. I think his TRUE (100%) odds are about $2.20, so if I were a bookie I'd have him at $2.00 at the longest. Ed while the $2.60 IS overs, I do agree with you there, I still think you'll get $2.60 today.

Bomber is evergreen, he doesn't know he's a 9yo. Super Elegant is flying, but as I said, he'll need to do his best to win. On my figs, if Spark does what he did beating Yell last prep, and Super goes like he did at the Valley 3 weeks ago, Super won't run him down. Again, if Spark goes like he did beating Yell and Bomber goes like he did at the Valley in October winning, he won't run Spark down either. Same thing for Cape of Good Hope. As an aside, I began rating Hong Kong late last year, and on my figures Cape of Good Hope returned the same last start as he did in his runs behind Silent Witness, which for me proves that I'm on the right track with the Hong Kong ratings scale. In that respect, Cape rated 1.5 lengths inferior last start to what Spark rated winning in October.

The others can only win if ALL of those four horses go below their best.

That being said, the race is up to Spark of Life. If it goes to it's best, it wins.

Have a good day all.

Duritz.

Yeah I am with you Brave Chief, I read that post after I sent mine - Ed I'd suggest you won't get a deduction.

"For Final Field Betting successful bets are subject to a deduction in the event of a scratching and bets on scratchings refunded."

Ok,

Futures betting is ALL IN, all fixed odds multiples (doubles) are ALL IN, but Final Field win and place bets are REFUNDABLE.

Bad luck for you Ed, but i get my money back on Danehill Express
