STRAUSS RUN HIGHLIGHTS O’BRIEN FORM: SHAMROCK was right to take on Johann Strauss at Newmarket yesterday. The 13/8 chance could only finish sixth and there was no luck for O’Brien at Tipperary with both his runners beaten – John Constable 4th of 5 at 9/10.
Is the Guineas beginning to get away from Aidan O’Brien ??
The slump in form is becoming alarming, and with both Kingman and Toormore laying down solid claims, in particular the former, Australia will need to buck the current stable form significantly.
I profited with a lay of Johann Strauss yesterday but if you are holding an ante-post ticket on Australia – then it’s probably time to get worried.
Colleague DAQMAN predicted there might well be a drift and so it has proved with him available at 5 on BETDAQ – and if you want to back him I’d recommend trying your luck at a bigger price as there will be plenty around willing to lay.
O’Brien’s form this month has been:
4433566331183452140433606654
Whilst there have been three winners, for a stable of his calibre it’s more worrying how well beaten some of his runners have been. This sequence has included three beaten odds-on favourites.
O’Brien was more than happy with Australia after a recent racecourse workout at the Curragh.
O’Brien said: “Joseph was very happy with him there – he hated the soft ground and Joseph said whatever you do, don’t run him on soft. I made that mistake with Camelot and I don’t want that to happen again.
“He goes straight to the Guineas and physically he has done wonderfully.
“He is the second-best horse I have ever trained and the best was not a Flat horse. The great Istabraq.”
