6-1 Elusive win dead in the water!

A disappointing evening best epitomized by Elusive Waters in Wolverhampton's last race when beaten close home by 25-1 Monzino. Advising Elusive Waters at 6-1 to subscribers overnight and watching it backed down to 5-4, gave me that feeling of its divine right to win, but after wearing down rivals in the final furlong and hitting the front, it was soon apparent that the momentum of Monzino, coming wide from the rear, would culminate in an inevitable conclusion!

Not quite what was ordered in yesterday's write up of the 7:10 with Capo Rosso only making the frame at 12-1 and Horsted Keynes, the horse I was happy to lay, taking the prize. Even after the result, I stand by my opinion that it was poor value given the question marks I had around the winner.

Not a particularly enthralling card at Wolverhampton tonight with the best races on offer being Class 5s. Subscribers go to the meeting with 4 selections and the horse that is of most interest to me outside of those selections is ANGEL WAY in the 6:20. 

Although ANGEL WAY offers little in the way of value at 4-1, I would be disappointed if the drop in class didn't see it get the better of the more exposed runners with C&D runs which include Where's Reiley, Dream Catcher, Going French, Danzoe, Speightowns Kid and Little China. The LTO performances of those yet to race over C&D (Reminisce, Excellent Jem, Frognal) doesn't appear, at face value, to offer much more of a threat. With so little to chose between Going French, Danzoe, Dream Catcher, Wheres Reiley and Speightowns Kid who are all, with the exception of Going French, on more favourable terms than previous C&D runs, it would be nigh-on impossible to predict a danger. If ANGEL WAY can reproduce the time recorded on its last All Weather run at Kempton Park in June I would expect a reasonably comfortable victory.

Good Luck today with whatever you play.
