Hi all,
Super Saturday is here and another busy day of racing to navigate. Today’s selections are from York & Ascot.
York
3:30 – Misty Blues – 8/1 @ Bet365 – Got off the mark at the third attempt when showing a good attitude to prevail at Pontefract 20-days ago., Her dam was a useful juvenile and trainer Tim Easterby thinks she could be as good. Slight concern that a stiffer 6f may suit her better but she’s taken to follow up stablemate Atomic Lady’s success in the race 12 months ago,
4:40 – Winter Power – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Won this race 12 months ago before going onto win the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes here last August. Has run poorly on both starts this season but this is her time of year and this her track. She’s 5lb clear of her rivals on official ratings and the one they all must catch. Looks to big at 2/1.
Ascot
4:45 – Kings Joy – 8/1 @ Bet365 – There’s been plenty of money for Washraa in the early betting and you can see why after her promising 8th of 28 in the Sandringham Handicap over C&D last time. However, preference is for Kings Joy who was just one place and ¼ length behind on the other side of the track that day. The filly had gone close on her Kempton handicap debut two starts back and remains capable of better after just four career starts.
Cheers
John
