nice

 

[pawras]

I like Sir Garfield on a trainer angle I follow , so will put that with Abduction which I like best on ratings

 

[markfinn]

Like wise Sir Garfield has been brought to my attention so Now Sir Garfield Win and Ashen W&P

 

[Leodis]

As mentioned earlier, two that fair well on the ratings are Lipsink and Abduction

Neither are that well handicapped, comparing their best winning OR against the class of field. Abduction comes close but got pipped lately off the same mark in a lower field class.

The performance par for this race, I have at 0.75

From the last three runs -

Lipsink: 0.76 > 0.84 > 0.84

Abduction: 0.62 > 0.68 > 0.58. (all 7f)

Whiskey Kisses [8-8]​	68​	65​	65​	85​	150​	​	​	​

The stalls are stand-side and the pace looks like it will be mid to outside. Overall, this should suit Abduction more.

I also like the form of Lipsink but currently showing at 34 on Betfair! Has to make you think.

 

[billybob]

ATR had it as the fav. Forecast: 10/3 Lipsink

Sir Garfield and Ashen both want to lead — likely to set a strong gallop and tire each other out. Held-up horses could benefit.

Dumfries	6	1lb below win mark, exact win weight, CD, same rider. Win reference is turf — today AW.
Mereside Madness (IRE)	5	16 below win mark, exact weight — but new jockey and only 1 ride together.
Captain Pickles (IRE)	4	2 above win mark, 3lb over. New jockey booking.
Lord Abama (IRE)	7	12 below win mark but no CD form, new jockey.
Beaming Light	6	9 below win mark, 8lb lighter. Win reference turf; today AW, jockey unplaced on him 5 times.
Turbo Command (IRE)	9	11 below win mark, CD, 2lb lighter, jockey placed on him before. Recent form 3rd, 2nd.
Pink Socks (IRE)	7	10 below win mark, 13lb lighter, CD — but win reference is turf and 6-run losing streak since.
Cable Beach	5	Exact winning OR match, CD, modest 6lb weight rise.
Captain Kinsella	4	No qualifying handicap win in the sample — no OR-lifeline anchor.

1. CABLE BEACH — 84​

My win selection.

This is the horse whose case becomes much stronger once the detailed Timeform figures are added.


His official mark is only 46, yet his historical Timeform performances are:

• 67 Adj at Newcastle over 7f
• 66 Adj at Southwell
• 65 Adj at Southwell
• another 65 Adj at Southwell
• latest run produced Tfig 61 / Adj 60

And the original data gave him an average SF of 61, comfortably the highest in the field.


That discrepancy is significant. He's effectively being asked to race from OR 46 despite repeatedly producing figures associated with horses rated considerably higher.


His latest Newcastle fourth is better than the bare position as well: Timeform specifically says he did best of those who didn't race in the front rank and pulled clear of the remainder.


Add:


9-1 weight + draw 2 + proven C&D + consistent AW profile.


The only meaningful concerns are the 63-day break and that the projected even pace isn't ideal for a horse expected around midfield.

 

[DuckandDive]

Barry Meadow meets Eric Bowers. (Not a balanced race)

Make your own odds line, compare it with live market. Heretic @15/8+ (Reckon the price will drop before the off-time)

Other Bowers factors support it, including a suitable pace angle. Leading in a weak pace set up with Dave Probert in the saddle.

 

[Sol Ski]

DuckandDive ,
i have done a basic bowers card, is there a full original rule set on the forum.
Bowers figure = pounds below topweight + forecast odds


The topweight, Heretic at 9-10, is our zero point.

Rank	Horse	Weight	lb below top	TF Forecast	Odds value	Bowers figure	Result

BOWERS REJECT THAT INTERESTS ME​

CABLE BEACH​

OR 46 | TFR 67 | Draw 2

Bowers Figure: 18 — ELIMINATED

This is where the exercise gets interesting.

Cable Beach's recent adjusted Timeform figures are remarkably consistent:

65 → 67+ → 66 → 65+ → 60

His TFR 67 is second only to Heretic's 68.

He's also a C&D winner, is drawn 2 when Timeform reports a disadvantage to high draws, and his latest Newcastle fourth was better than the bare result.

Then comes the market:

Timeform Forecast: 9/1

Live: 7/2

That's a very substantial move.

The deeper Timeform evidence was already questioning the Bowers elimination before considering that market support.

Verdict: BOWERS REJECT — STRONG OVERRIDE/REVIEW CANDIDATE
