Hi all.
Today’s four selections are from Nottingham, Kempton and Navan.
Nottingham
1:00 – Rue De La Gaite – 7/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner on the all-weather & soft when trained in France. Best two starts since coming over to England have come at Kempton, including when running on from off the pace to finish 5th of 13 last month. A strongly run race on soft ground should suit the 3-year-old and Andrea Atzeni is 5-16 31% when combining with trainer Tom Clover.
Kempton
7:30 – Riot – 11/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Steadily progressive last year before winning a novice over C&D last September. First run for 397-days but we know trainer John Gosden can prepare one off a long layoff and his record with 3-year-old handicappers at the track is – 13-40 33% +27.34 21 placed 53% in the past 5-years.
8:00 – Company Minx – 9/2 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – A winner on turf at Lingfield last season made a pleasing seasonal return when 5th of 19 at Ascot last month and followed up by finishing third at Lingfield 25-days ago. Stall 11 could be better but the filly looks interesting for the step up to 7f.
Navan
4:55 – Fearless Girl – 6/1 @ Bet365 – Has improved her RPR’s on each of her five career starts. A winner of a Killarney maiden (soft/heavy) two starts back. Slowly away back at the same venue, she made eyecatching late headway to finish 4th of 10 on her handicap debut just 3-days ago. Provided this race doesn’t come to quick looks capable of going close.
Cheers
John
