Cheltenham Day 2

It´s all about Master Minded today but sadly there is no value in betting on him but plenty of value out there in a one horse race.

Yesterday was winnerless for the win selections but two of the place selections won so not a disaster by any stretch. I´ll do a summary of yesterday later on as I´m pressed for time.

National Hunt Chase...

4 mile slog this one, I´m looking for a progressive type who needs to go up in trip. One horse is in great form recently with a win on good to soft at Sandown is Can´t Buy Time.

1.30 .... Can´t Buy Time $50 win @ 5

Ballymore Properties Novice Hurdle...

Winning form is essential and course form is a plus, I like Karabak in this but the untrustworthy Diamond Harry could be a danger.

2.05 .... Karabak $50 win @ 3

RSA Chase...

Only one winner in this for me and the fact Ruby Walsh has picked this horse over a Paul Nicholls runner says volumes, won well at Leopardstown last time out and like left hand tracks.

2.40 .... Cooldine 5

Queen Mother Champion Chase...

Biggy of the day, I was there last year to witness Master Minded destroy the mighty Voy Por Ustedes and he has progressed into pretty much an unbeatable horse so it´s who´s coming 2nd to think about.

Big Zeb won easily at Christmas in Leopardstown so I think he´ll get as close to Master Minded as any will.

3.20 .... Big Zeb $50 place @ 3.8

Coral Cup....

2 miles 5, you need a game horse who won´t mind a furious pace. Course winning form this season is needed and the love of spongy ground. Lough Derg has performed heroics on the race track this season and I´m shocked he is 28´s to back.

It might be one race to far for him but a course and distance winner can not be ignored.

4.00 ... Lough Derg $50 win @ 28

Good Luck folks
