2012 York Ebor Wednesday Betting Tips Part 2
- By A.J. Ryder on August 21, 2012 18:02 GMT
Frankel's brother Noble Mission is taking a step up to Group 2 for his next effort and he'll be facing off against a number of talented contenders. The form is all quite even here and a number of these horses have already beaten each other. While none of them look to be quite in the same frame as Camelot, there is still plenty of improvement still to come from several of these runners and Noble Mission (along with Godolphin's Encke) look set to show more porgression – as does Thought Worthy, a son of Dynaformer.

Noble Mission enters the race off a nose victory over Encke at Goodwood a few weeks back. He has been beaten by both Thomas Chippendale and Thought Worthy in the efforts prior to that. He was held up a bit at the start of his last race and he should enjoy the 1m4f distance again this time with a similar pace scenario. He will prefer things to be softer than firm so good going would likely shape up nicely for Noble Mission.
He remains a bit lukewarm on the board with a 5/1 price tag.
Main Sequence trades at a 2/1 price and should take even more support on the day. Thomas Chippendale is a 9/2 second choice with the aforementioned Noble Mission alongside Thought Worthy, and Encke at either 5/1 or 6/1. Energizer trades as the 8/1 outsider.
Selection: Noble Mission/Main Sequence reverse forecast
For the Group 1 Juddmonte International, we have Frankel stepping up in trip against several of the best horses running right now in both Twice Over and St Nicholas Abbey, as well as a line-up of talented runner proven at the distance. Several bookmakers trimmed Frankel down yet again and he now is listed as low as 1/7 even with the extra two panels added.
St Nicholas Abbey continues to hold firm at 5/1 while Farhh can be backed at a 10/1 price tag. The Godolphin connections are much more confident that Farhh will prefer this trip as opposed to his last effort against Frankel which ran at a mile and didn't really see the colt mount a genuinely serious challenge.
Juddmonte's other entry Twice Over won this race last year and could very well pull it off again – it would be unlike him not to be in the reckoning, barring any slip-ups or mistakes. He can be backed as high as 20/1 and looks a very solid bet for the place or tucked in under Frankel in an all-Juddmonte forecast.
Planteur can be backed at 50/1 while Sri Putra is a 66/1 outsider. Frankel's usual pacemaker Bullet Train is here again and trades at 150/1 alongside Windsor Palace. Robin Hood continues to show up in these contests looking for a Group 1 placing but just can't get any respect with a 200/1 price on the board.
Selection: Tricast Frankel w/St Nick's and Twice Over combined underneath
