Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Hamilton and Plumpton.
Hamilton
2:00 – Fox Hill – 4/1 @ Bet365 & Ladbrokes – Looked unlucky not to finish closer when length 4th of 14 at Redcar 5-days ago. The mare gets the first-time blinkers today and its worth noting she has won in the past when cheekpieces and the visor were first applied. The quick turnaround shouldn’t be a problem as she’s 4-5 when racing within 7-days of her previous start.
4:30 – Salve Japan – 15/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection has looked steadily progressive on her first three starts. Whilst I’m not sure how well handicapped she is, the step up 1m 3f on her handicap debut will hopefully prove ideal.
Pumpton
3:20 – Thibault – 100/30 @ Bet365 – Recent Stratford winner Sergeant looks a worthy market leader but I’m going to take him on with the selection. Two from two at Plumpton, albeit over 2m 4f, the 9-year-old got stuck in the mud in the Jump jockeys Derby at Epsom 10-days ago and will be happier back on a sound surface. Despite being 6lb above his last winning mark I expect him to go close at a venue he goes well at.
Cheers
John
