Hi all,
The service is still struggling for form but it did break a frustrating run with a welcome winner yesterday with Hello Me’s success at Windsor.
The St Leger Festival gets underway today. However, I’m looking away from Doncaster for today’s selections.
Carlisle
2:40 – Battle of the Nile – 11/4 @ Bet365 – Travelled powerfully and was good enough to make a winning nursery debut at Wolverhampton. Only won by a length at the line but was value for a bigger margin of victory. Up 5lb weights but looks the type to stay ahead of the handicapper for a while yet.
Wolverhampton
7:20 – Nibras Gold – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Failed by a head to land the hat trick when runner-up at Bath three weeks ago. Nudged up 1lb but he remains open to improvement for the step up to 2m. Won here in July so no issues with a return to the tapeta for the 3-year-old.
7:50 – Zartaj – 13/2 @ Bet365 – The filly bounced back from a poor run on soft ground at Lingfield when a keeping on 5 ¼ length 5th of 13 at Kempton 21-days ago. Has been dropped 2lb since and looks interesting stepped up to an extended 1m 1f.
Cheers
John
