I had one bet this afternoon and that was a real failure. I looked at the racing and after a relatively poor day yesterday, I decided to leave UK/Irish racing bar that one race. For your information, my one bet was Mr Cracker in the Munster National, he pulled up.
Anyway, my main reason for the blog is for the Canadian International Stakes tonight at 10.44.
Firstly, I could not, even with someone elses money, back Imperial Monarch at 2-1/9-4. This is completely unknown ground and he would have had a long journey to get there. No doubt the horse has class, but I strongly feel there are more negatives that positives.
The 2nd favorite Reliable Man also has issues with the ground in my opinion, and I also feel that this distance stretches him a tad too far. So I also believe this horse is too short in price.
Dandino, Wigmore Hill and Joshua Tree are all in line and vying for 3rd favoritism. Out of the 3, Wigmore Hill is the obvious choice given his form at the C&D but there was an unlucky loser in Wigmores last win, and that is my selection.
Forte Dei Marmi has been steadily improving this year and he has always been a lover of the firmer ground. FDM finished 3rd and just over 1 length behind Wigmore Hall after suffering interference and then finishing strongly. This was also his first time at this distance and I feel at the prices, he is a cracking e/w bet.
Best of luck all.
