Chester 1.50

Chester 1.50 4 Ice Slice @ 9/1 / 5 Gabriels Kaka @ 12/1 - both each way (Paddy Power odds to 4th)

I will again go against a hot Newmarket trained favourite who may find this track and environment
too much of a culture shock. That left me with 6 horses in the race all with excellent Course credentials. I left out
last years winner Hillbilly Boy, may not be well handicapped now, high draw and may need this run too. That left
me with 5 horses, of which only one is a consistent front runner drawn low. So I feel ICE SLICE is a strong each way
bet, prominent, needed seasonal  debut; won second time out last year, drawn 4 and good Course credentials.
The other 4 all tend to want to come from off the pace so need luck in running, granted Ice Slice may set it up
for them, but not hard to see hard luck stories. Intransigent is a live danger with the stable form and Course 
form but drawn 9 needs more luck than most and not seen much on turf lately. Sound Advice seems to hold sway
just over Rene Mathis but is drawn 8 to RM drawn 5 and both could be after the same spot of turf all the way;
of the Fahey pair I think GABRIELS KAKA has better claims drawn in 3; a Course winner too and better here than 
stablemate Rene Mattis, so on that process of elimination ICE SLICE and GABRIELS KAKA; lets hope I'm RIGHT!
