West Ham - Premiership Champions in waiting!?

Well well well! West Ham's double swoop for Argentinians Tevez and Mascherano is one of the most amazing pieces of transfer business completed in the Premiership's history. I wonder what London neighbours Chelski made of it all!!! If you're a hammers fan best of luck for the upcoming season. I was at the FA Cup final in Cardiff this year when the Hammers lost out on penos to my beloved Liverpool and I have to say I was really really impressed by their supporters. Good people with good football knowledge.

I'm off to Stuttgart to watch the Republic of Ireland v Germany game! Hopefully we wont get hammered!!!

Nice n Sleazy - 8:12 - 13/2

What a name! This 3 year old colt has impressed so far for the Kenichi stable. Kenichi are currently on 49 wins so if this grey boy can snatch a victory they'd hit the magical 50 wins mark. In 4 runs Nice n Sleazy has won once and finished second in two showing an excellent finishing kick. A consistent performer I fancy him to at least get a place tonight at 13/2 but a win is certainly not beyond him.

Velocity X - 8:36 - 32/1

In Velocity X's last three runs on fast going he won in two and finished second in the other. The bookies seem to think the 7 year old colt is past it but any Dallas1 trained colt has to be considered a threat to the rest of a field. Total stats for this old trooper stand at 125 competitive runs, 30 wins and 49 placed finishes. The 8 furlong distance should suit Velocity X down to the ground and if he gets a good jockey then he should be strong enough to get a place.

Best of the Bunch- 9:24 - 50/1

If this colt wins I won't be back from Stuttgart for a month! At a massive price of 50/1 owners Bandit Racing will probably have a small wager on the 2 year old to nick a place though his future at the yard looks uncertain. In 8 competitive outings Best of the bunch has won in 1 and been placed in 4 earning £40 for ths stable since being bought on the 25th of August from the Menace stable. It's vital for the horse himself that he impresses becuase if he doesn't he faces the bullet! A good horse when all going well he just might have enough incentive to nick a minor placing.
