RUNNING TOTAL: +75.11 Points
--------------------------------
I'm going to keep this brief: Takeover Target will not finish out of the top 4 today and is absolutely crying out to be backed heavily each way with the very generous firms offering 4 places in the Golden Jubilee. He is a class act, consistent, tough, loves the track (13422 form figures here), the ground is fine and he has the perfect draw (2) on the rail. He races up with the pace so there are no pace or traffic concerns and he can just bounce out and play 'catch me if you can'. There is a fair chance that something could catch him, namely Sakhee's Secret or Marchand D'or, but none of his rivals are as 'solid' as him and they have slight ground, draw, pace and traffic worries to deal with. There is surely no way 4 horses are going to get past Takeover Target and there is a fair chance that none will. This is a perfect 'each way bet to nothing' opportunity. A no brainer.
All the best, Owl
