Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Deauville and Haydock.
Deauville
2:55 – Perfect Power – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Was very disappointing in the July Cup behind Naval Crown and Artorius but today’s extra furlong will suit him, and it might be worth forgiving him his Newmarket performance. He won here 12 months ago, and slightly easier ground will suit the 3-year-old.
Haydock
5:15 – Rich King – 11/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 3-year-old won a C&D handicap two starts back and although he wasn’t at that level of form when 4th of 9 at Southwell last time. That run came after a 10 week lay off and he also raced in the unfavoured inner part of the track that day. Better judged on his Haydock performance when he looked progressive.
5:45 – There’s The Door – 8/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Have Secret looks more than capable of winning a nursery if he breaks on level terms. However, preference is for the selection who put in a much-improved performance when winning a C&D novice here 22-days ago. Evidently well suited by quick ground. She does need to find improvement for the step into handicap company but that seems likely.
Cheers
John
