Hi all,

It was nice to get a winner yesterday as True Destiny won the ‘lucky’ last at Kempton at a generous 7/2.

Today’s only selection runs this evening at Newcastle.

Newcastle

6:00 – Highwayman – 7/2 @ William Hill & Bet365 – The 6-year-old is previous C&D winner and wasn’t disgraced when 4^th of 16 at Chelmsford, despite a wide trip, 34-days ago. Hints last time, that he could be about to return to winning ways off 4lb lower than his last winning mark. Trainer is 2 winners from 4 runners in the past 14-days which is another positive.

Cheers

John

Hi all,

A frustrating few days hitting the crossbar. Let’s hope we can start turning those placed efforts into some winners.

Newcastle

6:15 – Athollblair Boy – 9/4 – Gen A previous C&D winner who was a good second over 6f here 10-days. The selection is 2lb higher today but looks set for good run on track he goes well at.

Kempton

5:20 – Multitask –9/2 @ Paddy Power or 4/1 @ William Hill – Granted the 9-year-old is on a long losing run but he returned to action here last month with promising display. The selection only finished 6th of 11 but there’s no denying he’s a well handicapped horse if building on his last effort.

8:30 – True Destiny –11/4 @ William Hill or 5/2 – Gen – A winner here over 1m 3f back in October. He then improved further to win over today’s distance at Lingfield. Not so good next time at Chelmsford but shaped better here, 22 days ago, when 3rd of 5 after a 69-day break. Should have come on for that run and the return to 2m is in the 4-year-old’s favour.

Cheers

John
