Hi all,
It’s been the worst month for the service in ages so I can’t wait for it to end. We couldn’t build on Wednesday’s win yesterday but hopefully we can land on a winner on the final day of January.
Today’s selections race at Chepstow, Lingfield & Newcastle.
Chepstow
2:55 – Indian Brave – 4/1 @ Ladbrokes & Bet365 – Just the four starts since returning from a near two-year absence, three of them this season. The selection has placed on three starts, including over C&D. Last time out was beaten 1 ¾ lengths into second at Sedgefield on Boxing Day, off 1lb lower. Ticks the all-important going box and should go close again.
Lingfield
1:10 – Noble Peace – 9/4 @ Ladbrokes & Bet365 – The selection has been in tremendous form around here, form figures on his last four starts with form figures 1211, that last two wins coming over 2f further. Provided the race isn’t to tactical, the 4lb penalty he carries for the last of those wins just seven days ago shouldn’t prevent another bold show.
6:45 – Oriental Lilly – 5/1 @ Ladbrokes – Five times a winner here over 5f/6f in the past. The mare has been shaping of late like she needs a step up to 7f a distance, a trip she did win over on the turf last September. Capable of going well again at a track that suits.
Cheers
John
