Hi all,
Today’s three selections are from Newmarket and day one of the Craven Meeting.
Newmarket
2:25 – Ribhi – 100/30 @ Bet365 – A winner on his racecourse debut at Salisbury. The colt was then pitched into the deep end in Listed company at Doncaster’s St Leger Festival. Ran a shade green when asked for his effort 2f and didn’t get the clearest of passages 1f out either before finishing a 2-length 5th of 9th. Had to dig in to prevail back at Salisbury (soft) on his final juvenile start. Another capable of more improvement this season Today’s better ground will suit as should the return to 7f.
3:00 – Magellan – 5/2 @ Bet365 – An appealing contender given his yard’s recent record in the race -3 winners from 6 runners +12.58 5 placed. He has 5lb to find with the favourite Master Of The Seas on OR’s. A winner of Salisbury Group 3 on his penultimate start last season. He ended last season with a respectable 5th of 10 at Longchamp (1m 2f) where the ground might have been a bit soft for him. The colt looks the sort to do well as a 4-year-old and today’s intermediate trip could really suit him.
4:45 – High Fibre – 9/2 @ Bet365 – The selection looked a big improver stepped up to 1m 1f when a 5-length winner of a nursery here on his final 2-year-old start. Has been hiked up 10lb for that that win but should improve further for the step up to 1m 2f+ this season.
Cheers
John
