Hi all,
Two winners and second from yesterday’s selections. Today’s selections are from Thirsk and Chester.
Thirsk
3:25 – Safran – 5/1 @ bet365 or 9/2 @Coral & Ladbrokes – Put in his best performance since joining the David O’Meara yard when a 1 ¼ length 4th of 10 at York 9-days ago. Held up after being slowly away he wasn’t well placed in a steadily run race and didn’t get the clearest of runs at the furlong mark. In the circumstances did well to finish as close as he did. The 4-year-old travelled through the race like a well-treated horse and although he drops back to 7f here, looks the one to beat.
Chester
4:45 – Jumaira Bay – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Previous C&D winner Revich is sure to be popular but preference is for the selection. The 4-year-old had looked an improver when winning at Chelmsford two starts back and was sent off just 10/1 for the Bunbury Cup on his next start. Ran way below market expectations there but his best form on turf has come with ease in the ground so he may not have been suited by the quick ground at Newmarket. Has top weight of 10-1 to overcome but better is expected.
Cheers
John
