Hi all,
Friday’s two selections were poor. Today’s selections are from Ascot and Haydock.
Ascot
1:50 – Demachine – 100/30 @ Bet365 – Won his first two starts over the larger obstacles, including a competitive novices’ handicap chase over C&D. He was a shade disappointing when only 3rd of 8 at Newbury 52-days ago but he’s had a wind-op since and he remains capable of better.
4:10 – J’Ai Froid – 7/1 @ Bet365 – Has improved for his move to the Laura Morgan yard winning two of his three starts, including his last two. An easy winner at Ayr two starts back and followed up under a 7lb penalty at Doncaster 22-days ago. The handicapper has raised him 11lb for his last success but the 8-year-old’s progress may not have ended yet, especially given the trainer’s form 4 winners from 9 runners in the past 14-days.
Haydock
3:50 – Farrants Way – 9/2 @ Bet365 – Made a bold bid from the front over C&D last month and looked like he would hold on until the final few strides when he got caught right on the line. He’s been raised 4lb for that effort which makes life tougher but he’s got solid claims of going one better here.
Cheers
John
