Monday Selections – August 5th 2019

Hi all,

The winning runs continues with Dream Kart, returned a generous 9/2, landing the opening race at Chester on Sunday.

Windsor

7:00 – High Acclaim –  9/2 @ William Hill & Bet365 – The selection has dropped down to a very tempting mark, now 12lb lower than when winning the valuable Spring Mile Handicap at Doncaster, on the opening day of the 2018 flat season. No wins since but a reproduction of his close-up 5th at Newbury two starts back would see the 5-year-old go close in the hands of Silvestre De Sousa.

Kempton

4:15 – Ironclad – 13/8 @ Bet365 – The 3-year-old was doing his best work at the finish when battling on to win on his handicap debut at Newmarket, 16 -days ago. He steps up 1m 4f but today’s extra distance shouldn’t be a problem. his half-brother Mirage Dancer has won three times over the trip and the colt races like he will improve for it. Up 5lb for his last win, he’s plenty short enough in the betting but I will be disappointed if he’s beaten.

5:15 – Rose Berry – 7/2 @ Bet365 & William Hill – Is a better horse on the all-weather than turf.The mares last win came at Chelmsford back in April off 2lb higher. Although she’s yet to win at Kempton she was only beaten a nose over C&D in February, off 2lb higher. Needs to be at her best but Silvestre De Sousa who rode her at Chelmsford is back in the saddle and trainer Charlie Wallis is among the winners, so there’s a good chance she will run her race.

Cheers

John
