Hi all,
I think yesterday’s three selections are still running. Today I have selections from Doncaster and Sandown.
Doncaster
2:50 – Society Lion – 9/2 @ Bet365 – Built on the promise of his racecourse debut when winning a heavy ground maiden at Yarmouth on his final start as a 2-year-old. Was sent of the 3/1 favourite for his handicap debut at Newbury 23-days ago but raced too keenly and faded into 4th inside the final furlong. Should be better for that run and the drop back to 7f looks a positive for the colt who remains capable of more progress this season.
4:00 – Count D’orsay – 100/30 – Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection was an improving handicap sprinter over 5f last autumn. He shaped with promise on his seasonal return at Newmarket but didn’t see out the stiff 6f in the Silver Wokingham at Royal Ascot. Return to the minimum trip is a plus and any further easing in the ground enhances his chance here.
Sandown
3:00 – Montatham – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Had looked much improved for the winter gelding operation when winning a Newmarket handicap on his return to action. He maintained that improvement in finishing runner-up to Dark Vision in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot, despite not having the best track position. At the revised weights has a good chance of finishing ahead of his old rival today and is open to more improvement of the pair.
Cheers
John
