Hi all,
Crystal Casque halted the losing run by winning at Kempton yesterday evening and Glory Fighter went close at 10/1 at Carlisle. If the latter had held on the last few day’s losses would have been wiped out in one hit.
Today’s selections are from day two of York’s Ebor Festival.
York
1:50 – Zain Claudette – 13/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Showed herself to be a smart filly when beating Desert Dreamer by a nose when successful in the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot last time. This speed favouring track may not play to her strengths like Ascot did but she an improving filly and can take advantage of the 3lb she gets from favourite Sandrine here.
4:10 – Alflaila – 6/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – A winner on his racecourse debut at Salisbury, had subsequent Listed winner System back in second that day. Wasn’t at his best, trying to give 6lb to Maglev when 4th to that one at Yarmouth on his next start. Back to form when runner-up to a subsequent Group 3 winner at Newmarket 20-days ago. Nursery debut and can improve for his first start at 7f.
4:45 – Amma Grace – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 4-year-old won a Listed race at Leopardstown (soft) last October and prior to that had finished runner-up to Cayenne Pepper in Group 2 at the Curragh (good). She’s just had the two starts this season and wasn’t disgraced when returning from a three-month absence to finish a 5 ¾ length 4th of 10 to the smart Le Petite Coco in a Group 3 at Cork 12-days ago.
Cheers
John
