Hi all,
Future Investment 3/1 just held on at Ripon on Wednesday evening, but it was very close at the line.
Chelmsford
6:00 – Goodnight Girl – 2/1 @ William Hill & Coral – All the selections three career wins have come last year on the grass. Wasn’t disgraced when runner-up on her all-weather debut over C&D on her seasonal return from a 203-day break. Ran right up to her best when 3rd at Windsor 17-days ago. Gets the first time cheekpieces and if the headgear ekes out the bit of improvement, she can win this.
Haydock
2:10 – Highwaygrey – 7/2 @ BetVictor & Paddy Power – The selection was a decisive winner here over 1m 2f, 13-days ago and should be suited by today’s 1 ½ f step up in distance. That win came on good to firm ground, but he showed at Beverley that he handled good to soft two starts back. Up 5lb but capable of more progress.
Ripon
3:20 – Aiya – 11/4 @ William Hill & Coral – The 4-year-old returned from 328-day absence when 4th of 6 at Musselburgh last month and then put in career best when runner-up at Redcar 10-days ago. Can race off the same mark and should be suited by the step back up to 1m 4f. A distance he won at for his previous trainer. Yet to win on turf after seven starts but as he showed at Redcar he won’t be far away if the good to soft ground isn’t an inconvenience.
Cheers
John
