Hi all,
The dreaded ‘nap’ curse struck again. It looked like Haafapiece was going to win coming to two out but couldn’t or wouldn’t go past the long-time leader.
Pontefract
3:15 – Clon Coulis – 5/2 @ William Hill & Bet365 – The selection won this Listed race last year and showed she was as good as even when beaten just a nose in the Royal Hunt Cup. Stall eight could have been better but she can hopefully take advantage of the 3lb that she gets from Billesdon Brook who won last years 1,000 Guineas.
Brighton
7:40 – Hedging – 9/2 @ William Hill – The 5-year-old gained her second course win from six runs with a decisive victory over C&D 7-days ago. He’s clearly very effective on quick ground so underfoot conditions will suit again. Has a 5lb penalty to carry for last weeks win but he remains on a competitive mark based on his best form, won over C&D off 9lb higher In April 2018. Capable of going in again. Just to show I ‘m not superstitious Hedging is the Tuesday nap.
Cheers
John
