Hi all,
Raatea got us back among the winners on Friday. It was just a shame that Babindi didn’t hold on at Nottingham. Still, I will take that sort of profit any day of the week.
It’s four selections day on Saturday. We normally find one winner on such days so let’s hope we can do so again
Newmarket
1:30 – Mayfair Stroll – 100/30 @Bet365 – Won on her nursery debut at Lingfield (good to firm) two starts back. Looked unlucky, when a 1 length 4th of 13, was hampered over 5f out, at Goodwood last time. Up 2lb but will appreciate the better ground and looks progressive.
3:05 – First Folio – 3/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Made it 2-3 for the yard when quickening clear of a big field at York (good to firm) two starts back. Looked unsuited by the soft ground in the Steward Cup consolation race 14-days ago. Worth another chance back on quicker ground.
4:15 – Danni California – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Improved for her handicap debut when a length 2nd of 8 over C&D 22-days ago. Might well have won but was slowly away. Up 1lb but looks capable of more improvement and win a race off her present mark.
Bath
5:10 – Mutasallem – 8/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection won a nursery at Wolverhampton last October but was disappointing on his seasonal reappearance in May. First run since and has been gelded in the meantime. Trainer Marcus Tregoning is 3-10 +8.00 with his runners in Bath 3-year-old only handicaps and 4-17 +23.23 with his runners in the past two weeks.
Cheers
John
