Hi all,
I’m off tomorrow so let’s hope I can go out with a winner today. Today’s selections are from Exeter and Southwell.
Exeter
3:05 – Lightonthewing – 11/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – On heavy ground for the first time since winning at Wincanton in February, off 3lb lower. Has been down the field on both starts this season but those runs came on good & good to soft ground. It will be interesting to see how he fares in the pre-race betting given he’s on a good-looking mark.
3:35 – Galactic Power – 15/2 @ Bet365 – Looks an interesting one here. He ended last season with a couple of solid placed efforts at Huntingdon and Taunton. Granted he’s 12-year-old now and hasn’t won since February 2018 but he’s on a competitive mark and first time up could be the time to catch him.
Southwell
7:50 – Toptime – 9/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Back to form effort when a staying on neck 2nd of 14 here over 5f last month. Has won over 6f in the past so step up in trip shouldn’t be a problem. Just the one start on the tapeta so unexposed on the surface. He’s been nudged up 1lb for that performance but he remains on a handy mark.
Cheers
John
