Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Thirsk, Ffos Las and Goodwood.
Thirsk
3:30 – Air To Air – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner at Yarmouth three starts back was well fancied for the International Stakes Handicap at Ascot. Returned 15/2 for that race he ran better than his final position of 11th of 21 suggests. Shaped like he remains in form when a neck 2nd of 4 at Doncaster when ridden by an inexperienced 7lb claimer. Today’s bigger field and stronger forecast should see him go close.
Ffos Las
4:25 – Haymaker – 9/2 @ Bet365 & Ladbrokes – Gained his second career success when making all to win over C&D 16-days ago. The handicapper has hiked the 3-year-old up 10lb for that win and he won’t find it as easy to dominate this deeper field. However, he’s lightly raced and unexposed over 6f so a chance is taken that he’s capable of better.
Goodwood
6:10 – Land of Winter @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – The selection holds no secrets from the handicapper and is 5lb above his last winning mark. However, the rain has come at the right time for the 6-year-old, three of his career successes have come on soft/heavy ground and he should be well positioned in what doesn’t look like it will be strongly run race.
Cheers
John
