Hi all,
When the two Hamdan runners got turned over at Newcastle I feared the worst. However, Limato & Santiago provided us with a nice double and more importantly a solid profit on the day.
Newmarket
1:35 – Lady Bowthorpe – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Showed she had trained on well from three to four when showing a good turn of foot to win at Lingfield 22-days ago. The filly is going the right way and a 4lb rise in the weights doesn’t look harsh. Looks capable of following up here with Ryan Moore booked for the ride.
Windsor
1:55 – Amplify – 11/2 @ Bet365 – Won here over 5f 12 months ago and at Bath, off 4lb lower last August. Was gelded at the end of last season and made an encouraging seasonal return at Kempton 26-days ago. Back to 6f which should suit now and the yard is among the winners.
3:35 – Surf Dancer – 4/1 @ Bet365 & Coral – The selection won two of his first three juvenile starts before finding Group 3 company too hot on his final start of 2019. Was in the process of running a big race on his handicap debut when hampered by the eventual winner in the final 100yds. But for that interference he would probably have finished second. Nudged up a further 3lb but if the step up to a mile can bring out some more improvement, he can win off his present mark.
Cheers
John
