7/2 SECOND YESTERDAY.

We managed only a second place yesterday with our selection CANTOR who was heavily supported in the market at the off.However ,he was unable to get his head in front where it mattered  the most and ended up with the silver medal.A slight loss was incurred as a result on each way bets  but I think we could live with that.For today's selection ,I am going to leave the British Isles and head over to Meydan where I am seeing a really good betting proposition.The 12.45 race at Meydan is a 5fur. sprint Handicap on the Turf with a field of  14 runners.The one I like here is the No 3 horse,MAR ADENTRO ,the mount of Christophe Soumillon.This animal is undoubtedly, one of the top Sprinters in France.He was 3rd in the Prix De L'Abbaye of 2010 and finished 4th in the same race to Tangerine Trees in 2011.He was  said to be have been badly drawn that day and his price seemed to reflect that view.However, although  supposedly badly drawn ,he soon found his way to the front and in the race to the line, he was beaten by .less than a length [sh ,h nse].This is a horse who has Group1 form to his name though he has yet to taste success at Pattern Race level.This is not a Pattern race,it is a Handicap,albeit a hot Handicap, but I feel sure that MAR ADENTRO has what it takes to win this race and my money will be on this one today.He is quoted overnight in the betting at 8/1 and I'll be quite happy with that.
