Italians to repeat 1982 triumph with timely World Cup victory!

It's been 24 years since that historic World Cup final in Spain when Paulo Rossi led Italy to World cup victory. The striker had been recently released from prison after a football corruption scandal. Now the Azzurri find themselves in a similar position and they fully realise what a win would mean to their country at this difficult time. Zidane may be bringing the curtain down on his glittering career in Berlin tomorrow night but my money is on Italy for World Cup victory.

Pure venom - 8:12 - 20/1

Very attractive odds here for a horse who has shown in the past that she can run well on fast going. Owned by the atkins race yard the 2 year old fillie has won in 8 of her 23 races and has been placed in a further 6 bringing winnings in her short career to £110. A recent recruit to this stable she was initially owned by the Berreta stable and then the goodtobetheking stable but is now setling in with atkins. Will welcome a return to fast going and is good each way value.

diamonds for Ceri - 8:36 - 24/1

Our old friend Tanky knows exactly what this 2 year old fillie can do. In her 18 tests so far she's excelled winning in 6 and finishing in the places in 8. Her recent form has seen her winning twice and placing three times in her last five races. With varied success over firm in the past 'diamonds for Ceri' will have to call on all her experience in Australia tonight to win but if shes anything like the Welsh bombshell shes named after then I'm sure she'll blow this field away!!!!

Macau Express - 9:36 - 28/1

What a record this shotgun mike trained fillie brings into this race. In just 11 competitive outings shes won 4 times and been placed in 6. Now closer inspection does show some of the fields she shone in were less than fantastic but still she seems to have a bright future ahead of her on getminted racing. A winner last time out on yielding in Hong Kong over 5 furlongs she finished a full two lengths ahead of the second placed horse in a small field of 3. Macau Express needs to find the form of last May when she really did seem like a world beater. Tonight in this poor field her ability should shine again and shes a good each way bet at these lengthy odds.
