Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Windsor & Kempton.
Windsor
2:40 – Selecto – 6/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – The selection shaped with some promise on his four starts as a juvenile. Ran better than his final position of sixth suggests on his Haydock seasonal reappearance 35-days ago. Has been gelded since that run and a mark of 72 is workable for a trainer who has a 39%-win strike rate with his 3-year-old turf handicappers in 2020.
4:10 – Involved – 9/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Has made a bright start to the new season finishing a close up second at Newmarket before going one better at Newbury 32-days ago. That was a career best from the five-year-old but the handicapper has put him up 8lb. Needs to find some improvement but that’s not out of the question for a yard that remains among the winners.
Kempton
4:45 – Soromond – 7/2 @ Ladbrokes & Paddy Power – Made a winning handicap debut at Leicester 30-days ago. It was a career best from the filly and she showed a good attitude to hold off Tiger Zone at the line. That one re-opposes today and is 1lb better off but I fancy the Ed Dunlop is still one step ahead of the handicapper and can confirm that Leicester from.
Kempton
6:45 – Vasari – 5/1 @Bet365 – Showed he has ability on his three starts as a juvenile when running Brad The Brief to ½ length at Wolverhampton on his final start of last season. Gelded over the winter and weak in the betting for his seasonal/handicap debut at Newmarket. Didn’t get the best of runs two furlongs out but wasn’t subjected to a hard race when his chance had gone. Today’s extra furlong is a positive, as is the booking of Jim Crowley, but stall 11 is slight concern.
Cheers
John
