The 80/20 Bet: Wednesday, Ripon, 20:45

Brian Meehan trains Elusive Band

Nick's back at Ripon in search of another winner...

Today's 80/20 is Elusive Band in the 20:45 at Ripon.

This gelding finished sixth on debut to Prince's Trust at HQ last month. He held every chance two furlongs from home, but weakened out of contention when the chips were down.

I think he has ability and should go close at a fair price in this maiden.

At present he is trading at 5.79/2 on the exchange.
