Hi all,
Yesterday made for grim viewing. Sambezi fell at the first at Lingfield and Albert’s Back drifted in the pre-race betting like he had returned to the track with three legs and to be fair ran like he had.
Today’s selections are from Kempton & Hereford.
Kempton
4:10 – Crystal Starlet – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Is bred to be a lot better than a 71 rated filly. She wasn’t seen to best effect in race where it paid to be ridden prominently when a 3 ¼ length 4th of 9 on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton last time. Hopes are pinned on the first-time visor galvanizing her in the early stages of the race.
Hereford
2:25 – Frenchy Du Large – 100/30 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A welcome winner for Venetia Williams at Carlisle yesterday and hopefully she can bag another one here. The selection got off the mark at the 5th attempt over hurdles when showing improved form when winning a Ludlow handicap hurdle in March. Looks the sort to do well over fences this season. It was heavy when he won at Ludlow so any rain and further ease in the ground would be a positive.
2:55 – Loup De Maulde – 4/1 @ bet365 – Trainer Christian Williams doesn’t have the best of record at Hereford, just 1-32 in the past five seasons but his horses are among the winners and hopefully he can get another one here. The selection has just had the three starts over hurdles and put in a personal best when 3rd of 5 at Wincanton 18-days ago. Looks the type to do better for going handicapping and looks on a workable mark of 88. Yet to race on ground worse than good and provided he handles an easier surface can win a race.
Cheers
John
