Saturday Selections – February 13th 2021

Hi all,

Chelmsford was off yesterday and both Lingfield and Naas must survive morning inspections to see if they can race on Saturday.  Hopefully one or preferably both can race or we will be left with just one meeting across the UK & Ireland at Wolverhampton. However, it’s the Wolverhampton card that provides today’s three selections.

Wolverhampton

7:15 – Venturous -100/30 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – The 8-year-old has been in the form of life of late winning four of his last five starts, including over C&D two starts back. At his best when coming off a strong pace. He should get that here with the likes of Lord Riddiford and Lomu in the field. Improving last time out Chelmsford winner Tone The Barone is 4-4 from the all-weather but is having his first start on the tapeta and that just edges in favour of the selection.

7:45 – Dark Pine – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection beat likely favourite Arij by a neck at Lingfield last time and although that one gets a 2lb pull here I fancy that Dark Pine can confirm form with his old rival even off 6lb higher mark.

8:15 – Flight Command – 7/1 @ Bet365 – The 4-year-old looked suited by the step up to 1m 4f when beaten a length into second over C&D here 13-days ago. Unexposed over the distance, if he can build on that performance he shouldn’t be far away here.

Cheers

John
