Epsom Derby Betting Preview PT 3
- By A.J. Ryder on May 23, 2018 15:04 GMTHe has a running style similar to that of Saxon Warrior so you can expect him to be in touch the entire time and remaining relatively close tracking him eat all the way and waiting until Ryan Moore pushes the button at that crucial moment I vote to furlongs from the finish line.
Next up we have an interesting each-way shout in the mysterious competitor the Young Rascal. He was able to capture the Chester Vase on his third start of his whole career and that came after recording a maiden Victory against a very tough field of 20 as a seasonal debut.
He had erased once at the age of 2 and finished second in a very similar large Maiden contest and comes into the race having only tacos three races lifetime so there's a lot of interesting question marks over top of him and his ability to get the job done on the big stage at Epsom.
He trades in the low double digits with a number of top bookmakers but it's going to be interesting to keep your eye on his odds and see how they fluctuate as we get closer to the race.
Masar is an interesting Godolphin horse and comes into the race with a place finish in the 2018 2000 guineas just behind socks and Warrior and there was plenty of ability here but you reckon that he may be just a step behind some of the top rated competition.
He was notably able to pull off a victory at the de facto kickoff of the flat season when he captured the Craven Stakes and comes into this with at least a group 3 Victory under his belt. He looks like one who may have more success elsewhere or one who may be tackling slightly easier races as opposed to facing off against a beast like Saxon Warrior.
