Hi all,
It was a case of seconditis yesterday at Fontwell. I thought Quel Destin was set to win but was just outstayed by a stronger stayer on the day.
Today’s three selections all race at Wolverhampton. It’s my day off on Tuesday so hopefully we can go out on a winner on Monday.
Wolverhampton
7:00 – Concierge – 4/1 @ Bet365 – Has been running consistently well on the all-weather since joining his present yard without winning. Ran well to finish 3rd of 7 at Kempton 5-days ago. Silvestre De Sousa who is 2 wins from 3 rides returns to the saddle and he should ensure that the 4-year-old goes close again.
7:30 – Cottonopolis – 6/1 @ Bet365 – The 3-year-old ran well from the front at Chelmsford 15-days ago but just couldn’t match the pace of the two who finished in front him in the final furlong. The step up to 1m 4f should suit and hopefully he can get his own way out in front.
8:00 – Embrace The Moment – 9/1 @Bet365 – Maybe a nine race maiden but she’s only had the two starts on the all-weather so remains unexposed on the synthetics. Having just her second start for trainer Ian Williams she ran well to finish 4th of 12 over C&D 35-days ago. The cheekpieces are applied today and they could eke out the improvement needed for her to gain her first career win. Trainer has a 19%-win strike rate with his runners racing in the first time cheekpieces.
See you on Wednesday.
Cheers
John
