Exeter 2.00
Exeter 2.00 6 Paddy The Oscar @ 8/1 / 9 Sonoftheking @ 25/1
(both horses 1/4 point only each way)
PADDY THE OSCAR was a great winner for me last week with a bold front running ride. I am a bit surprisedthat they venture out so soon, as it has not avoided a penalty, and there is another Chepstow meeting next week?
I can only assume that the horse is bouncing and telling them to try to strike while he is, the mark is not excessive
and we know that we will get a bold front running effort. The trip and depth of the race is slightly harder but as we saw
again yesterday, these veterans can run well in these autumn conditions. My only rear negative is form right handed
but they come here eyes open to that so a small each way bet. Whilst I think Jepeck and Yanmere will be the ones to
beat, I certainly would not want to be going 4/1 or lower about either. Talk of The South usually needs 2 runs so I
will also have a small e/w bet with SONOFTHEKING who needed seasonal debut this time, will come on for it and
has Course and Distance winning form and comes here off a very nice handicap mark at frankly unmissable odds.
