You could argue on form that 5/1 is too short for this race for Samcro...
You could also argue that you HAVE to factor in the style and hype in terms of 5/1 being value ... IF he wins a solid yard stick so his collateral form gets done substance, he'll be shorter again ... so taking 5/1 now might be a good price on the morning, so isn't a bad price now.
I wouldn't personally back now at 5/1 inn this race, but I was already invested at 16s 14s and 12s so that's obvious in hindsight

I know I wouldn't want to lay the 5/1 so that says to me his price isn't ridiculous - in my eyes anyway

All the hype davys comments etc.
10/1.

It is all a matter of opinion and how you, as an individual, view a price, personally I wouldn't go in now at 5/1 nor would I touch Annamix at 8/1 for the Supreme.
It may also be fair to say that many on this forum, including myself, have above and beyond them 2 prices quoted, so from that respect it may not look great value now.Last edited by ComplyOrDie; 14 November 2017, 02:03 PM.

Let's have a reality check here, the days of ante post prices being logical are long gone and the hype machine has taken over. When it comes to novice form I really have to disagree with any real 'substance', especially early on in the season. Taking form lines literally that Horse A only beat Horse B by 5 lengths whereas Horse C beat Horse B by 1 length is dangerous. There is not a trainer alive that will instruct their jockey on debut to go out and win by as far as possible. Most horses winning maidens or novice hurdles could most definitely win by further but there is nothing to gain by doing so. Add in that the other horses in those races have different objectives (handicap marks etc) and it becomes unreliable at best.

Originally posted by doctorwu View PostElliot has said he could move him up to 2.5m, he also said that he had the pace to be a top 2m horse. In my minds eye he's looks a perfect supreme horse. With the pace in the Supreme you don't get a breather like the Neptune.
As a 'gambling yard' you'd think they'd be mopping up the bigger prices if they we're wrong though?
Could be waiting for the right time to strike!

If the cap fits faces a horse I liked 1st time out in demon daunou, I would however expect him to win today before going on to bigger and better things.
White moon in the last at Exeter faces stronger opposition than he did the 1st time out, it looked to be a very weak race. so will be interesting to see if he can win here, would be impressive if he could stretch away in the same manner.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

Samcro fans will be hoping he goes well.
I personally don't rate minds eye at all and can't see why samcro is anywhere near so short.

Blow By Blow has drifted from 1/4 to 2/1C, off the track over a year and over a trip that looks like it'll be too short for him.... would expect a huge step forward next time, and it makes this race quite hard to read IMO.
Certainly isn't a negative for Samcro, but wouldn't see it as a positive even though be beat the winner (minds Eye) 15L last time.
