This horse is a C&D winner, and having Oisin Murphy on board is a major upgrade. Looking at the field, there are many horses with inconsistencies, so this feels like the one that has the best chance.

This year, Five Thousand to One has raced twice on the all-weather. Both of those races were over six furlongs. In his first race he finished ninth, and then last time out he showed considerable improvement when finishing third. Today's race is just under five furlongs. He will probably be doing his best work towards the end of the race, so, provided he doesn't have too much ground to make up, he should be in with a chance. Today he races off the same mark as last time, with Sean Kirran retaining the ride.

Three runs this winter for the 8yo after coming back from 18 months off the track. He hasn’t done a lot wrong in his last two races. He was only a head away from being placed five weeks ago in a strong handicap sprint. The winner got first run that day while the selection was stuck in a pocket, but he saw the race out nicely. Fitness should be spot on now and he’s on a tempting mark.

Baldomero is consistently underestimated in these deeper Class 3 AW sprints. He maps to get a very strong pace to aim at today. Ratings-wise he is entirely capable of outrunning this mark if delivered late, making 16/1 a blatant overreaction to his running style.
