Hi all,
A poor day yesterday, need better on Friday, and once again the racing isn’t great from a quality perspective.
Wolverhampton
2:35 – First Response – 5/2 @ William Hill & Paddy Power – Has been running consistently well on both the polytrack & tapeta this autumn winning a classified race at Newcastle back in October. Seven days ago, he proved his effectiveness over C&D when finishing 2nd of 11, beaten a neck, 7-days ago. Racing off the same mark this afternoon he won’t be far away with a reproduction of last week’s effort.
Musselburgh
2:25 – Court Baloo – 4/1 @ William Hill & Bet365 – Has been well placed to win on the trot in the autumn and arguably ran just as well in defeat when 3rd of 10 at Wetherby last month. Back right-handed today but has won over C&D in the past so the change in direction shouldn’t be an issue. Now 6lb higher than for his last win but the 9-year-old may have not stopped winning yet.
Dundalk
6:00 – Sheisdiesel – 11/4 @ Paady Power – The selection won four times here, including two over C&Dbetween February & March last year. Has run respectably on both her starts since returning from a 185-day break. Strong at the finish when third over 1m 2 ½ f, 14-days ago she races off the same mark this evening and shapes like another win isn’t too far away.
Cheers
John
