RSA Chase 2020

Lobos said:
The form HDB is in I'd say Minella but it's a tough, tough one to call. Race of the year so far and wouldn't look out of place as RSA chase itself. Any one of them could win.

I’m a massive Minella Indo fan and think he will win the RSA but my worry tomorrow would be that HdB has said he takes a massive amount of work to get fit so I think we will only see the best of him at Cheltenham.

Hope I’m wrong though and he bolts up tomorrow- its some race.
 
Strictly speaking on what i saw last time out Minello Indo jumped slow , so unless mega amount of improvement forthcoming he wont be winning this race tmrw. The Doyen only just getting going last day and jumps ok without being flashy, in my opinion he a way better horse and hopefully wins and wins well. People crab him because he flopped at Cheltenham , he wasnt right according to Gord , he knows better than us and im prepared to give him a second chance.

Who wins tomorrow then?

Ive backed Champagne Classic @ 11/2. I love BOD and if he wins il be over the moon, but I have been really taken with CC so far this season. I think everyone has. Can’t let the heart rule the head so he’s the one I’m going for at the prices

Iv backed champagne classic at 5s and very hopeful he can win here. I atleast expect him to beat his stable mate.
I Don't really know what to expect from minella indo but the general consensus of the thread we're on says that he's a big danger. I wasn't too impressed with carefully selected on seasonal debut in all honesty. So all in all, i dont feel it's as strong a race as it may seem on paper. Experience and a decent cruising speed, may well be the key



*****,
Fwiw My only other win bet of the day is sharjah win only @13/2 . I hope klassical dream wins, but sharjah should strip fitter for the run and no excuses on the ground front.

Agree re Sharjah. Clear by now I'm no KD fan and would like C Sublime to win but also have Sharjah at big prices and think he may outrun his stablemate tomorrow on the better ground/sharper course.
 
I am tempted by Sharjah tomorrow myself, but still looked plenty soft enough to me
 
With Scooby and Charlie all the way on Champagne Classic, the price just doesn’t match all known form including his Novice Hurdle form. Also the fact they are running him in this race and he is still 10/1 for the NHC (the early season stated target) suggests to me that they also think he may be better than they first thought. I’ve also topped up for the RSA with 365 having him well covered for the NHC. Looking forward to seeing Carefully Selected who I don’t think will have the class for this race, but hoping he’s staying on well to increase his NHC credentials
 
If Minella’s fit he’ll hack up but that’s the question isn’t it .... I’d be slightly concerned by the lack of a recent run for Champayne classic, 2 months is a long time to be off the track and would expect him to come on for the race. I simply can’t take to BOD for some reason. Could be proved wrong but I just don’t think he’s very good. Carefully selected needs more than 3 miles to see him at his best so I really couldn’t have him. IMO if they were all 100% fit, minella Indo wins this with ease so with the stable in form I’m gonna hope he’s fit and get the money down.

Add me as another in the CC camp for tomorrow
 
Im big on Battleoverdoyen so hoping he just gets to the line in front of Minella with CC and CS having a close battle for 3rd/4th staying on behind the front two. This would be the perfect scenario for me as I've backed all 4. The front 2 for RSA and the next 2 for NHC. That's not being greedy is it.......ha, ha !
 
Like everyone else, I cant wait for this today. Possibly the best race all week. Think Carefully Selected is being a little underestimated by the market myself. Doesn't have much to find with Minella Indo based on last season.
 
I think carefully selected could be overlooked purely based on the fact that Patrick wants him in the 4 miler, I actually think this is the race for him but definitely not giving up on Allaho either. Very excited for this race today should be a cracker and I can see carefully selected coming out on top and becoming Champs nearest rival come March
 
Would have bolted up today by 10L
 
CS non runner, what a farce this race has turned into
