Hi all,
If I had realised that ‘Storm Brendan’ would turn the Doncaster going closer to heavy than good to soft, then I probably wouldn’t have bothered putting up any selections on Tuesday.
Newbury must pass an 8am inspection to see if racing goes ahead at the Berkshire track. I hope it does as there’s a decent card for a Wednesday in January.
Wolverhampton
1:55 – River Cam – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Remains a maiden after seven starts but you can’t knock the filly’s consistency. The 3-year-old ran well in the first time cheekpieces,when a close-up 4th at Newcastle last month and could be better suited by a turning track.
2:30 – Reasoned – 11/4 @ Bet365 – The James Eustace trained 4-year-old made it 2 wins from 5 runs +3.50 4 placed 80% when winning over C&D 12-days ago. The daughter of Intello, whose progeny have a good record here, was always in a good position last tome and showed the better turn of foot to see of her 11 rivals. Up 7lb in a slightly better race demands more from the filly but she’s in good form at present and you can’t rule out the hat trick.
Southwell
5:50 – Zylan – 11/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 8-year-old is at his best on the fibresand – 5 wins from 9 runs +26.66 7 placed including 3 wins from 4 runs 4 placed over C&D. Bounced back to form returned to the track when 2nd of 7 over C&D 12-days ago. Now 2lb lower than for his last win 11 months ago and looks set for another bold show.
Cheers
John
