Hi all,
Thankfully Star Cactus (7/1) saved the day by winning the Ascot nursery yesterday. To give the service a tidy profit.
Today’s selections run at Ascot & York
Ascot
3:05 – Billesdon Brook – 11/4 @ Paddy Power – Is the class horse of this Group 3 contest. A dual Group 1 winner, the 1000 Guineas and last year’s Sun Chariot Stakes. The 5-year-old showed she remains in good heart when finishing a neck second in the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes. Needs a strongly run mile to be seen at her best but a reproduction of her Falmouth run would be good enough here.
4:15 – Campari – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Looked to have benefitted from a winter gelding operation when making all to win at Chepstow on his seasonal return last month. The 3-year-old improved on that performance when beaten a nose on his handicap debut at Sandown three weeks ago. Up 3lb but there’s should be more improvement to come. Ryan Moore has been booked and he and trainer Roger Charlton combined for a big race winner here on Saturday.
York
3:55 – Monsieur Lambrays – 100/30 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 4-year-old looks to be improving with racing. He returned to action with a neck 2nd of 11 at Pontefract last month before going one better when putting a career best effort to beat nine rivals at Salisbury, when stepping up to 1m 6f for the first time. Up 2lb but raced last time like a step up to 2m will suit and he can defy his weight rise.
Cheers
John
