Hi all,
David’s Beauty (4/1) battled onto win at Chepstow to get the week off to a good start yesterday.
Today offers a realistic chance of a double. Let’s hope I haven’t just given today’s selections the kiss of death.
Haydock
3:40 – Canagat – 11/2 @ Bet365 – A winner of a Kempton maiden last November built on that performance when making all to win a Newcastle on his handicap debut 22-days ago. He showed a good attitude last time when challenged which should hold him in good stead going forward. Steps up to a mile today but should stay on pedigree and was strong at the finish at Newcastle. Nudged up 4lb but he’s going the right way and if he handles turf looks set to go close.
5:20 – My Girl Maggie – 5/4 – Gen – Looked on a winnable mark on her handicap debut when just getting touched of by an improver at Pontefract 9-days ago. Can race off the same mark today and this easier 1m 4f should be in her favour. A bit short in the betting but if you can get evens or better, they are worth taking.
Hamilton
3:50 – True Believer – 9/4 @ William Hill – Shaped with credit on her three starts as a juvenile. Built on that promise when 2nd of 10 on her handicap debut at Doncaster 10-days ago. Back against her own sex and can race off the same mark as last time. Trainer Mark Johnston has a 30% win strike rate in Hamilton Class 4 handicaps
Cheers
John
