Hi all,
A blank day on Friday but Sense Of Worth ran well to finish second at Dundalk. Today’s selections are from Doncaster and Newbury.
Doncaster
2:00 – Juan Elcano – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A chance is taken with the selection who is having his first run since a gelding operation. The 4-year-old won on his juvenile racecourse debut in 2019 and finished fifth in last year’s 2000 Guineas on his seasonal reappearance. First run at mile since last years 2000 Guineas but the drop back in trip could be what he needs.
3:45 – Brando – 5/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – The best horse on official ratings and looked as good as ever when beaten just a nose in the Group 1 sprint on Champions Day. Not as good over C&D on his final start but lost any chance he had a with a slow start that day. Maybe needs a bit of ease in the ground these days and has developed a habit of missing the start in his races which he can’t afford here.
Newbury
2:50 – Mount Windsor – 8/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – Has been well placed to win his last four handicap hurdles. Up 13lb and in a much deeper race here but given his level of improvement and good form can’t be ruled out with Fergus Gillard taking off a handy 5lb.
Cheers
John
