Hi all,
Nice to return to the fray with not one, but two winners on Friday. Today’s selections are from Newbury & Haydock.
Newbury
5:00 – Tell William – 4/1 @ Bet365 & Ladbrokes – The 4-year-old’s sole win from nine starts came at Bath last August and he put in a career best effort returned to that venue when 2nd of 9 (beaten a neck), 8 days ago. Blinkers replace the visor and the selection looks on a workable mark.
Haydock
7:55 – Street Lightning – 4/1 @ Bet365 – Comes into the race seeking the hat trick after wins at Wolverhampton & Ripon. He’s been well backed on both two career starts and the 3-year-old looks capable of more improvement with racing. A mark of 90 means he should be competitive on his handicap debut.
8:25 – Oso Rapido – 15/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Ended last season with a Redcar nursery win on first start over 7f. The handicapper has only raised the 3-year-old 2lb for that success. A 305-day absence to overcome but if ready to roll first time shouldn’t be far away at the finish.
Cheers
John
