Cheltenham 2013 -
Tuesday 12th March
So it's the opening day
of the festival and it's freezing! Not good. My good friend Mr Hulmes
has reported penguins on Cleeve Hill, though that may be taking it
too far.
The fields have been
finally been confirmed and we can get stuck into the Stats and the
form.
Firstly from a
statistical point of view, there are 2 selections today.
- White Star Line in the JLT at 2.40 pm, although it's worth mentioning that we should watch for Loch Ba and Nuts and Bolts as these fit most stats but White Star Lines previous Cheltenham Festival run just gives him the edge.
- Arabella Boy in the Cross Country chase at 4.00 pm.
Secondly from my own
perspective, I am backing 2 more Irish horses that have really caught
my eye over the season.
- Un Atout in the Supreme at 1.30 pm has easily the best and most fluid action of any horse I've seen this season. He came over with a massive reputation from France and his 2 performances to date have seen him excel. He can be ridden aggressively or sit just off the pace and he represents good value at his current price. Obviously My Tent or Yours will be a warm order in this but don't forget that N Henderson has had Binocular, Sprinter Sacre and Darlan all beaten in this race before.
- Arvika Ligeonniere in the Arkle at 2.05 pm. His price is over inflated due to the presence of Simonsig and the fact he fell last time out. That was an uncharacteristic thing for him as his jumping is normally excellent. He will handle the ground, which Overturn may not, he will handle the track and his natural speed will make him a big danger to Simonsig. This will be the first time Simonsig has met such quality horses over fences, so who knows how he will cope? Therefore I would much rather take the odds about Arvika than odds on about Simonsig.
Note that, as always, you can trade in-play, with all of your bets to protect your profits.
Good luck with all your
bets and remember there are 4 days to bet and we need to be in profit
by Friday night!!
