Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Newmarket and Goodwood.
Newmarket
3:00 – Shine So Bright – 9/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Having his first start since a poor run at Ascot last July. However, fitness shouldn’t be an issue as he’s 2-3 when returning from a 121+day absence. No issue with the going either as his three career successes have come on good/good to firm ground. A previous C&D winner he’s down to a good mark and with a useful 7lb apprentice booked the selection is taken to return to winning ways this afternoon.
Goodwood
3:15 – Silence Please – 7/2 @ Bet365 & Coral – The selection must be respected on her first start since switching to the Andrew Balding yard. The mare won a Listed race on her seasonal return in 2020 and is the highest rated of these filly’s & mare’s. Looks capable of going close if ready to roll first time up.
3:50 – Twilight Madness – 2/1 – Gen – Had main market rival Chipstead 3 ½ length behind in second when winning at Newmarket last July and meets that one on better terms here. The 4-year-old returned from 3-month absence with an excellent effort when a head second of 8 at Southwell last time. This is just his 10th career start so we might not have seen the best of him yet.
4:25 – Wineglass Bay – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The James Ferguson yard is tremendous form 4 winners from 7 runners +14.08 in the past 14-days and he can have another win with the selection here. The 3-year-old got off the mark when winning at Southwell (7f) on final juvenile start. Handicap debut over a mile but is bred to improve for the step up in trip and rates the pick.
Cheers
John
