Coral Cup - Trends

Age

• Over fifty 5 year olds have run in this race and all have been beaten, the odd 10 year old does well but from a purely statistical analysis you need to rule out under sixes and over nines.

Recent Form and Experience

• Last time winners have a big advantage over normal results so make sure your selection has a 1 in the form on its last outing, fresh horses also have a distinct advantage so look for a horse with less than four outings in the season leading up to his race.

Market Position

• A race for a nice each way punt with the favourites getting turned over most years, look for horses priced 16/1 or greater and a race where covering 2 or 3 horses is recommended.

Trainers

• Plenty of trainers seem to target this race, but the decent value in recent years is to follow one of Pipes fancied outsiders, so watch the market for support for a Pipe 2nd+ string entry.

Other Positives

• Horses carrying less than 11st and are ahead of the handicapper.

PERFECTION: Go for a decent priced last time out winner, trained by Pipe, who has had less than four runs for the season and carries less than 11st, bet each/way.
