Can Arsenal be the next Liverpool in European football?

Firstly congratulations to the Gunners last night on reaching their first ever European Cup final. Another clean sheet means Arsene Wenger has again etched his name into the Arsenal history books as the first manager to reach such heady heights. However should Barcelona reach the final I just can't see them being beaten. That this side haven't won the Champions league recently is crazy and I'm sure the Catalans will fancy their chances should they overcome AC Milan tonight. Anyway football aside it's set to be another great night on Getminted racing, Mike Lawrence and myself will be in the hotseats at 8 on Sky Channel 850 so see you there.

Craig and Simmo - 8:12 - 12/1

Well this 3 year old colt really runs well on fast. Four of his six wins so far came on fast and he should be very confident ahead of the 8:12 race in the USA tonight. Normally runs in B division races so this will be a step up as its an A and B division race. Thats why I dont think he's good enough to win just yet and fancy the Redcliffe charge to claim a placed finish. Total stats read 12 races, 6 wins and 2 placed finishes. If he can handle the tougher competition then he should make it 3 placed career finishes at least.

Brzina - 8:36 - 7/1

I think the slavic word 'Brzina' means gear in english but I may be wrong. If it does then owners Champion of the turf will be hoping the 3 year old fillie starts off in a high one on the good going in Hong Kong. On a fantastic run of form she has won in 2 and been placed in 9 of her 14 races to date. Hasn't finished outside the top two in her last four races and has been rested since finishing second on the 17th of April in the U.K. A fine contender at this level, she could well win and at worst should finish in the places.

Pompey play up - 9:12 - 46/1

Brave or silly odds form the bookies here for this heinz fillie? we will have to wait and see. In 76 career runs since last June she's picked up 13 wins and 33 places and has been very consistent in April. A winner last time out on the 18th of April on soft in the UK the result will have given Pompey play up a serious confidence boost and he could be good enough to nick a placed finish in the UK tonight.
