Hi all,
A couple of tough days. The selections have been running well but just not winning. Today’s selections are from Nottingham, Newmarket and Thirsk.
Nottingham
4:10 – Babindi – 7/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 3-year-old bounced back to form when winning at Bath two weeks ago. Up 5lb for her first career success but she’s capable of further progress and the likely forecast weak pace should suit the prominent racer. Trainer William Haggas has his string in great form and is 6 winners from 10 runners 60% +5.43 8 placed 80% with his 3-year-old handicappers in the past 14-days.
Newmarket
5:35 – Raatea – 15/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Best form has come on the synthetics but he’s also effective on a sound surface on grass. Sent off just 6/1 for a big field handicap at York last month. Lost any chance he had at the start that day but was subjected to a hard race. That was the 4-year-old first run at 6f and he looks worth another try at the trip. Tends to run off the pace so the forecast strong pace is a positive.
6:53 – Princess Power – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner over 6f here as a 2-year-old. She’s now dropped down a winnable mark and was an eyecatching 1 ½ length 4th of 9 over C&D 12-days ago. Can’t afford to be slowly away as she was last time but if she breaks on level terms won’t be far away.
Cheers
John
