Well bloody Jamie Spencer, Frank Spencer as he is known by many racing enthusiasts. My only real bet yesterday was Sariska and the bloody horse didn't come out of the stalls. Hopefully you backed it with John Mulholland and got your money back. I backed it with Betfair so unfortunately I lose.
Friday's action is all centered around Starspangledbanner and with good reason as the O Brien horse has looked a revaluation since crossing over from Australia. Sprinting in these parts has badly needed a top champion and this could be it. They seem to breed far superior sprinters down under and over in Hong Kong so is there any chance the home guard can defend against a foreign invasion. Equiano is an ex Spanish horse now with Barry Hills and is enjoying his best season ever. A neck defeat to Starspanglebanner over 6furlongs makes it look like a drop back to the minimum 5 furlongs will make him difficult to beat and if he gets away from the field, he will be difficult to peg back. Fleeting Spirit is another that catches the eye but 6 furlongs looks his ideal trip and the from lines suggest he wouldn't be good enough to beat the top 3 here. Kingsgate Native inflicted Equiano's only defeat at 5 furlongs this season but the loss of jockey Ryan Moore is a big loss and he was very disappointing in this race last season as favourite. Borderlescott is seeking his 3rd win in a row in this race but lets not forget only one of those was at York but he been looking at Equino's backside all season and he'll do the same here again.
Verdict: Equino to win
reverse forecast with Starspanglebanners
Rainbow Peak looks like a horse punters will get stuck into in the 2:15 against some old guards in Halicarnassus,Cesare & Rio de La Plata.
Cesare is now 9 and has had only one run this season winning with guts at Newmarket under Kieran Fallon. Rio de La Plata looked awful last time out and surely would be better suited to a good to firm 7 furlongs. Confront might be the pick dropping down in class having competed in some hard races this season.
Verdict: Confront
