Hi all,
Wins by Live In The Moment & Dean Street Doll made it a profitable Saturday and clawed back some of the recent losses.
Today’s selections are from Sandown & Naas.
Sandown
3:05 – Quadrilateral – 6/4 @ Bet365 & Coral – A Group 1 winning juvenile the filly was sent off the 11/4 favourite for the 1000 Guineas. She finished 3rd of 15 in that race and then occupied the same position in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. Has been given a break to freshen up and her sights lowered into Listed company here. Has been given a good opportunity to get her career on track and I will be disappointed if she can take it. Anything above evens looks fair enough to me.
3:40 – King Vega – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Ran with plenty of promise when 2nd of 10 to race fit Godolphin horse over C&D 21-days ago. The front two pulled clear of the rest. The son of Lope De Vega should be fine on the good to soft ground and looks sure to improve for his racecourse debut. Trainer Andrew Balding saddled the winner of this race in 2016.
Naas
4:30 – Not Now Zeb – 4/1 @ Bet365 – Won here over 5f last season and has taken his form to a new level winning at Navan & the Curragh. Up 6lb for the latter of those wins 28-days ago. He came from a long way back to get up close home at the Curragh. A stiff finish and juice in the ground seem his optimum conditions and the way he raced last time suggests he need 6f now. A good apprentice takes off a handy 3lb and the selection should make a bold bid for the hat trick here.
Cheers
John
