Hi all,
I found yesterday’s first Sky Bet Sunday Series meeting entertaining. Whether it will have the desired effect of attracting a new Sunday evening TV audience to the sport though I’m not so sure.
The ITV seven was landed which meant a lucky punter won £50,000. Not so good for us though as Wise Eagle was touched off by a short head in the ‘unlucky’ last at Musselburgh.
Today’s selections are from Ayr, Windsor, and Wolverhampton.
Ayr
2:15 – Glenamoy Lad – 11/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A useful sprint handicapper in the past but on a losing run that goes back to October 2018. The 7-year-old had looked regressive and had dropped down to a career low mark but he bounced back to a bit of form a 3 ¾ length 3rd of 12 at Nottingham (good to firm) 10-days ago. Yard in good form and if he can build on his last time out promise can take advantage of a winnable mark.
Windsor
6:25 – Spanish Star – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Doesn’t win very often but has finished runner-up on his last two starts and was beaten just a neck when 2nd of 12 at Ascot 16-days ago. That was over 7f but the selection is a strong traveller who shouldn’t be inconvenienced by the drop back to 6f. Nudged up 3lb but capable of another good run.
Wolverhampton
7:05 – Frow – 7/2 @ Bet365 – Made it 4-4 over C&D when winning here 20-days ago. Up 3lb and now on a career high mark but at least he comes into the race in good form and shouldn’t be far away again.
Cheers
John
