Hi all,
Another profitable day at Royal Ascot and it turned out to be a profitable week for the service. Let’s hope we can carry the winning run into Sunday. Today’s selections are from Pontefract’s Sky Bet Sunday Series card.
Pontefract
4:15 – Highwaygrey – 9/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection is 4-7 over C&D although he hasn’t run at the track since last September. The 6-year-old is on a losing run of 14 but that means he’s dropped down 10lb below his last winning mark. Not disgraced last time when a 4 ¾ length 6th of 10 in the Zetland Gold Cup and drops a couple of notches in class today. A hold up horse if gets a decent pace to chase this is a good opportunity to bounce back to winning ways.
4:45 – By Starlight – 100/30 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The mare returned from an 8-month layoff to post a career best effort on RPR’s when a 1 ¼ length 4th of 9 in a Group 3 at Haydock last time. At her best on good or quicker ground the 5-year-old can get the better of likely short priced favourite Bartzella.
5:45 – Unplugged – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection returned from a 1078-day break to win on first start for the Michael & David Easterby yard here 13-days ago. That success came over 1m 2f and be steps up to 1m 4f for the first time today. The step up in trip shouldn’t pose a problem but the dreaded bounce factor could come into play. If it doesn’t, he can win off just 3lb higher than last time.
Cheers
John
