Thursday Selections – August 5th 2021

Hi all,

Today’s selections are from Brighton and Sandown.

Brighton

2:30 – Ravens Ark – 2/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection returns to the track where he won over C&D in May. He’s improved since in defeat, finishing third in the Cumberland Plate at Carlisle and occupying the same position at Sandown when stepped up to 1m 6f last time.  The first time cheekpieces are added today for a return to shorter and trainer Hughie Morrison & Osin Murphy teamed up for a double at Kempton last evening.

Sandown

7:02 – Rewired – 9/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Possibly didn’t stay 1m 4f when tried over that trip, on soft ground, at Salisbury two starts back. The 3-year-old was seen to better effect when a 3-length 5th of 12 behind subsequent Goodwood winner Wink Of An Eye over C&D last month. Looks on a winnable mark and handles rain softened ground.

8:07 – Love Dreams – 8/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – The 7-year-old wasn’t the best away last time and shaped better than his 4 ¾ length 6th of 10 at Ascot suggests. Was caught out wide that day when those who fought out the finish were closer to the stands rail. Clearly not the horse he once was but he’s well handicapped on his form in 2019 when trained by Mark Johnston.

Cheers

John
