Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Sandown & Wolverhampton.
Sandown
12:40 – Robin Gold – 13/2 @ Bet365 – Is a mare on the upgrade having won her last two starts in handicap company, both on testing ground. Takes a step up to Listed company but provided they go a good gallop, needs to be held up and be produced as late as possible in her races, could surprise some higher rated mares here.
3:35 – Monsieur Lecoq – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Won this race two years ago off a much lower mark but he improved after that and can race off the same mark as when 3rd of 14 in last season’s Greatwood Hurdle and 5lb lower than when runner-up to Not So Sleepy in that seasons Betfair Exchange Trophy at Ascot. The 7-year-old hasn’t looked in the same form on either start this season but he’s a classy hurdler when at his best and the yard had a winner at Warwick on Thursday.
Wolverhampton
5:40 – Michele Strogoff – 3/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – The selections last three wins have come here although you must go back two years and 30 runs for the last of them. If a return to the venue sparks him back to life the 8-year-old is too well handicapped to ignore here.
Cheers
John
