Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Newmarket.
Newmarket
4:15 – Blue Skyline – 13/2 @ Bet365 – In a race where the principals in the betting are unexposed handicap debutants, I’m happy to take a chance with the selection who looks nicely weighted on his best juvenile form. Has been slowly improving with each of his three starts this season and was a good 3rd of 13 at Kempton 16-days ago. Ryan Moore is a good jockey booking being 6 winners from 20 rides 30% +13.16 when combining with trainer David Elsworth.
5:55 – Silver Samurai – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Has the look of a steady improver. A soft ground winner at Brighton last October. He’s improved with each of his two starts this season finishing runner-up to Finest Sound at Haydock before a cosy win at Redcar 32-days ago. Ground versatile, has won on both soft & good to firm, he’s 5lb higher than for his last success but has a good chance of following up here.
7:35 – Edward Dantes – 12/1 @ Bet365 – Trainer David Menuisier is 7-20 35% +36.38 with his runners on the July Course in the past 5-years. The selection isn’t the consistent of horses but was a taking winner at Newbury two starts back off 5lb lower before beating just one home at Doncaster last time. That run was too bad to be true which suggests something was amiss that day. The 4-year-old has been given a 54-day break to freshen up and although he’s yet to prove he stays 1m 4f he’s worth chancing.
Cheers
John
