My best man has made an unexpected trip from overseas to come to my bachelor’s, so I won’t be working this meeting.
I have had a bet in Race 9 on #1 ARIVIDICIO (16-10). He ran well above his current rating in a Progress Plate over CD last time. In fact if the handicapper could increase his rating he would not qualify to run in this class. I make him much closer to an 1-1 chance and for me they have marked up the wrong horse as Fav. He has run well on soft ground, so if the going should come up soft that’s not a concern. The stable is in good form now too. I make him the best bet on this card.
#2 KALAHARI BLUE was my best bet last time, when he clearly got into a handicap off a mark too low after also having achieved much higher in a Graduation the time before. He got the job done, but I don’t think he can beat #1.
RESULT: 1 FROM 2 SP 15-10

Dear Warren,
Thanks for the tip. His last run was promising against a good sort in Prophet. Hope it wins and makes your Bachelor’s even sweeter.
Cheers
Dan.
Forgot to mention a pal of mine at work who’s brother (Christopher) owns King’s Crusade is quite bullish in the 5th.
Spot on Warren, but King Crusade is a Donkey… LOL.
Thanks, had a few bucks on Arividicio…
