First recommended bet of the day goes close.

CALICO BLUE (6-1; SP 8-1) was beaten only a neck in second, racing down the centre of the track, doing well having got no cover, the winner hugging the near-side rail. Most frustrating. He was at least an each-way bet, so you’ve got your money back and a bit of shrapnel for the rest of the afternoon.

Good luck all
