Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

Another terrific race is in prospect and as usual there are sure to be be plenty of hard luck stories in what is a large competitive field. It's possible that Sunday's sorry tales could include one or both of the current market leaders: So You Think (drawn 14) and Sarafina (drawn 13). History shows that double-digit drawn horses are disadvantaged. As a result I am going to oppose these top contenders with two well-draw horses. Both my selections should enjoy the good ground which is forecast to firm up in the next 48-hours. I have had 2pts win Masked Marvel (drawn 5) @ 14/1 with William Hill (bog). Sure to get every yard of the trip in what could be a fast run race. Watch the PMU odds as he could start a bigger price in Paris. Also 1pt win Hiruno D'Amour (drawn 1) @ 14/1 with Ladbrokes (bog). Ran a good prep race behind Sarafina in Prix Foy on 11 Sept, his first race since May. Unlikely to be better odds on PMU because of fanatical on-course Japanese support. Total staked 3pts.
