Hi all,
Today’s four selections are from Epsom and Ripon.
Epsom
3:25 – Arthur’s Victory – 5/2 @ Bet365 – A C&D winner (good to soft) two starts back the filly did well to overcome a slow start and muddling gallop to win at Wolverhampton 22-days ago. Up just 3lb but she’s an inform 3-year-old filly who probably hasn’t stopped progressing just yet. Must prove she’s as good on faster turf but if she does, she can win again.
4:35 – Dolphin Vista – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Is on a losing run that goes back two years and has been given a chance by the handicapper. The 8-year-old finished a ½ length 3rd of 9 over C&D last time and with a clearer run night well have won. Can race off the same mark here and 5/1 looks fair odds about his chance.
Ripon
2:00 – Mereside Angel – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Has shown promise and travelled strongly when 4th of 11 at Beverley 20-days ago. Could well have finished closer as he had to wait for a gap 2f out. Makes his nursery debut off what looks a workable mark. Trainer David Barron had a welcome winner here yesterday and one of his runners was beaten a nose at Wolverhampton.
4:15 – Cloudy Rose – 6/1 @ Bet365 – The 3-year-old arguably put in a career best when a 4 ¾ length 2nd of 7 at Nottingham last month. That was the filly’s first start at 2m and she seemed to get the trip well enough. Has been dropped 2lb for her latest effort and if stall 9 doesn’t prove an inconvenience can go close.
Cheers
John
