Hi all,
There’s plenty of racing over the next few days which doesn’t make life easy, but it is what it is. Today’s selections are from Carlisle, Doncaster, and Newbury.
Carlisle
4:30 – Million Thanks – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Persist will be popular after her run at Royal Ascot. However, I’m going with Million Thanks. A Musselburgh maiden winner on his return he looked like he was coming to win his race 1f out before finishing a short-head 2nd of 9 at Pontefract last month. Get’s the first time cheekpieces today and hopefully they will enable him to see out his race better.
Doncaster
3:45 – Cliff Cake – 3/1 @ Bet365 – The selection has a very likeable profile winning 7 of his 19 starts and he made it 4-4 over 7f when beating 11 rivals at Thirsk last month. Up a further 6lb for that success but Ryan Sexton takes off a handy 5lb which negates the weight rise.
Newbury
7:08 – Miramichi – 7/1 @ Bet365 – A four-time winner last season, including over C&D. The four-year-old was back to form when a 1 ½ length 3rd of 7 to Parachute here last time. He was just outstayed over 1m 4f that day and the drop to 1m 2f is a positive. Although he does face several unexposed 3-year-old’s he’s capable of winning off around his present mark .
Cheers
John
