Hi all,
Blue Skyline outstayed his rivals to win at Newmarket to keep the winning run going. Today’s picks are from on what isn’t the most inspiring of days I will be delighted with one winner.
Windsor
3:15 – Extra Elusive – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Had the benefit of an enterprising front running ride from Hollie Doyle when winning a Group 3 at Haydock three weeks ago. Has a 3lb penalty to carry for that success but if granted an uncontested lead will be hard to peg back. Really testing ground wouldn’t really be his going but he won on soft as juvenile and wasn’t disgraced on similar ground when 5th of 13 on his seasonal return at Royal Ascot.
3:50 – Glen Esk – 13/2 @ Bet365 – The selections best form, so far, has come at Kempton and he looked a shade unlucky in the run when 3rd of 14 there 17-days ago. Showed on his seasonal return at Newmarket that he can be effective on grass. Whilst soft ground is a bit of an unknown for the 3-year-old the step up to 1m 2f looks like it will suit. Trainer Chris Wall is 4 winners from 15 runners 27% +33.75 in the past 14-days.
Goodwood
3:35 – Century Dream – 7/2 @ Bet365 – Is 4 wins from 8 runs 6 placed on soft or heavy ground. Made all to win a Group 3 at Newbury on his seasonal return and wasn’t disgraced when 5th in the Prix d’Ispahan at Chantilly last time. On testing ground he’s bordering on Group 1 level as he showed when a close-up third to Roaring Lion in the Queen Elizabeth II in 2018.
Cheers
John
