Hi all,
Sorry for the lateness of today’s email due to Microsoft Word issues.
Lone Eagle’s win at Newmarket made it a small profit on the day on Saturday. Today’s selections are from Goodwood & Newton Abbot.
Goodwood
2:25 – Farasi Lane – 7/2 – Coral & Bet365 – Put in an improved effort on his first start after a gelding operation. When doing best of those who came from off the pace on his last starts at Newbury 23-days ago. Heavy ground is an unknown but his pedigree suggests he should handle it.
5:00 – George Of Hearts – 8/1 @ William Hill – Isn’t the most consistent of horses and hasn’t shown to much on either start this season. However, we know he goes very well on testing ground and is just 2lb higher than when winning at Newmarket (heavy) last November.
Newton Abbot
3:15 – Sunset Showdown – 5/1 @ Bet365 – Twice a winner on good ground last summer the 7-year-old put in a career best effort when beaten ½ length by Tobefair at Cheltenham last October of today’s mark. Not so good, although not disgraced, on two subsequent and the last one came in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham festival. Stays well, handles the going and if ready to roll for the first time since March should go close for trainer Rebecca Curtis who is among among the winners.
Cheers
John
