Hi all,
We had been hitting the crossbar so often in the last two weeks that a treble was just waiting to be landed and it was a perfect 3-3 on Friday. Saturday’s are always much tougher but here goes.
Ayr
1:25 – Plymouth Rock – 7/2 – Gen – Trained John Quinn relished the quicker ground when winning a Thirsk Novice 14-days he now races in the Coolmore colours and should get the miles. Very interesting given connections and a mark of 79 looks more than workable. Trainer is 5 winners from 7 runners 71% +11.38 6 placed 86% with favourites at the meeting in the past 5-years.
Newmarket
3:55 – Land Of Oz – 6/4 – Gen – The selection hasn’t stopped improving since stepping up to 1m 6f+ – 5 wins from 7 runs 71% +4.94 6 placed 86% – won with more in hand than the ½ length margin of victory suggests at Kempton 15-days ago. Up 3lb for that success but open to even more improvement stepped up to 2m 2f.
Gowran Park
4:15 – Credenza – 7/2 @ Bet365 – The fillyhas improved on her last two starts, latterly putting up a career best when runner-up to Tarnawa in a Group 2 last Sunday at the Curragh. She drops a shade in class here and can land a well-deserved first Group success.
Cheers
John
