The Daily Trio: 14th March

Well we didn’t land the treble yesterday but a 16/1 winner from our there selections isn’t half bad. It was an enjoyable day. Bob Olinger surprised me in winning the stayers, I had completely written him off as a no hoper!

Can Galopin win the historic treble today? Maybe, but I’m not having a bet at the likely price, way too short for me.

Lulamba can get us off to a flyer. I’m simply not having East India Dock. I think it’s the worst favourite to run at this years festival. Not a hope. I’ll probably even lay it for a place. Lulamba looks solid to me, I would price it about even money. Selection: Lulamba, 1:20 Cheltenham, 1 point win.

From one of the worst value favourites of the meeting in East India Dock, we move to one of the best value favourites of the whole meeting in Dinoblue. Dinoblue has the beating of Allegorie De Vassy ten times out of ten. Limerick Lace looks a shadow of the horse that won last year, and there is nothing else in the race that could get within 20 lengths of those three. Selection: Dinoblue, 2:40 Cheltenham, 1 point win.

It’s On The Line is a cracking bet in the Hunter Chase. This is a proven hunter chaser at this level and sets a high standard. I can’t see where the threats will come from. Shearer isn’t a good horse and has been winning useless races. Angels Dawn isn’t good enough. Willitgoahead is probably the main danger but the form there isn’t a patch on that of It’s On The Line. Selection: It’s On The Line, 4:40 Cheltenham, 1 point win.

Also have a 1 point treble.
