Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Nottingham and Newbury.
Nottingham
3:10 – Juan Les Pins – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Bought after a winning a claimer at Redcar the 5-year-old made a successful start to his career with Michael Appleby at Newbury 8-days ago. Has a 5lb penalty to carry in a better race but is competitive mark and can go in again.
Newbury
2:43 – Dancing Tango – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Set a modest enough gallop when a 5-length 3rd of 7 at Goodwood last month and was done for speed by the two who finished in front of her. However, she’s shaped well on all three starts in maiden company and should relish the step up to 1m 4f.
3:18 – Zain Nights – 7/2 @ Bet365 – Runner-up on his last two starts here, including over today’s distance last time. The 3-year-old was the first off, the bridle but found plenty for pressure to finish a 1 ¼ length 2nd of 7 to a rejuvenated Parachute. He shaped like further would suit last time but connections opt for the first time cheekpieces and if they sharpen him up then he’s on a winnable mark.
Cheers
John
