The Coronation Cup

[brockguy]

Septimus did really well on his comeback at the Curragh. He has to reverse Epsom Derby form with Sir Percy but on Soft Ground, he might just be able to get closer.. Scorpion has disappointed me too many times that I cant support him anymore. Anyway, I think Sir Percy and Sixties are a few pounds better than anyone else here..

Will sixties and sir Percy like the ground, though? If they do, they will probably fight out the finish but i'm not so sure.

I think Septimus will be the value each way alternative.

Neither has run much on genuinely soft ground but I reckon they'll handle it.. Septimus certainly looks the ew pick.. Do you think the ground will be Soft on Friday??

Well, they have just changed it officially from good to soft to soft after more rain again today.

It's a shame, because i'd prefer to see classics run on ground on the fast side of good as that is what good horses are bred to be best on these days, when really good races are run on soft ground it takes the shine of it, if you know what i mean.

Definitley looks like it will be called "soft" on Friday, though

The 11th time is the charm.....

MARAAHEL!

ive backed Septimus but the ground isnt as soft as I first thought and both him and Sixties have many lengths to make up on Sir Percy over course and distance.... This will be a cracking race.

Funny, because i think the ground is getting slower after each race after it gets opened up. The times have been getting gradually slower.

He is one of the only relaxed ones in this field, another good sign.

He's my best bet of the day

oh dear god.. O'Brien 1-2...
maybe we've hyped these horses up alittle too much this year?
