Friday Selections – November 1st 2019

Hi all,

Newmarket

1:40 – Minhaaj – 15/2 @ Ladbrokes & William Hill – The selection made a pleasing racecourse debut when finishing runner-up at York 21-days ago. The daughter of Invincible Spirit showed her inexperience in the early part of the race but finished it off strongly. Bred to be suited by the step up to 6f and it’s interesting that trainer William Haggas pitches the filly into Listed company for her second start.

2:15 – Alternative Fact – 15/2 @ Coral & Paddy Power – The selection’s win record isn’t the best just 1 win from 16 starts but he’s shaped on a few occasions this season like he’s capable of another win off his present mark.  None more so than when 3rd of 12 to History Writer at Sandown back in June.  Was doing his best work at the finish when 9th of 30 in the Cambridgeshire Handicap over a furlong shorter. Looks worth another go at 1m 2f.

Uttoxeter

2:40 – First Flow – 9/2 @ William Hill & Paddy Power – A useful Grade 2 in January 2018. The 7-year old was then sent off 12/1 for the Supreme Novices Hurdle at that years Cheltenham Festival before pulling up. Just the one start last season when 5th of 13 in the Imperial Cup at Sandown in March. Remains with potential on his debut over fences and could surprise some better fancied rivals in this beginners’ chase.

Cheers

John
