Saturday Selections – August 8th 2020

Hi all,

Gypsy Whisper got the service back in the among the winners on Friday. Today there are three selections from Ascot & Newmarket.

Ascot

4:10 – Shandoz – 11/2 @ Bet365 & Ladbrokes – Shaped with promise on his first two juvenile starts before overcoming a poor run to win at Wolverhampton last September.  First run for 322 days but he’s bred to appreciate the step up to middle distances and can go well on his handicap debut if handling today’s quick ground.

4:45 – Princess Power – 15/2 @ Bet365 & Ladbrokes – The selection won at Doncaster over 5 ½ f last June and she’s also 3 wins from 10 runs 30% +37 6 placed 60% on good to firm going. Last time out was slowly away at Sandown but finished her race off nicely to take third. Might be better over 6f but it’s a stiff 5f and she seems to be coming to form at the right time

Newmarket

5:10 – Harrovian – 7/2 @ Coral & Bet365 – Never get involved in the John Smith’s Cup Handicap (15/2) at York last time. That’s his second poor run at York and better can be expected today back on good to firm ground (form figures 21311). Defied top-weight to win at Doncaster two starts and although he’s 5lb higher here, a 7lb claimer has been booked that helps negate the weight rise.

Cheers

John
