27 September 2007 - Gulf Express | Pont 350

Traprain did win yesterday, but I couldn't get matched at 1.8 so I let it run. A profitable decision in the end. This afternoon I am going to oppose Gulf Express at Pontefract. The colt is running in a class 2 handicap over 10f and carrying 6lbs more today for his recent win. But that was a class below, and I think the step up in company could find him out. I would have preferred a few more runners to stir things up a bit, but if I can get matched at 13/8 or below then I will feel comfortable in laying him. The trainer/jockey combination of Sir Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore should help artificially squash the price, so it should be a layers selection.
