Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Pontefract, Ffos Las and Wolverhampton.
Pontefract
3:15 – Roman Mist – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Thunder Beauty heads the betting after her 3 ½ length 2nd of 7 to Saffron Beach in a Group 2 at Royal Ascot and must be respected but preference is for the consistent selection who won a Kempton Listed contest in April and then arguably ran a career best when a 1 ¾ length 3rd of 10 to Bashkirova in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom last time. She’s the pick despite giving away 3lb to the favourite.
Ffos Las
7:20 – Abel Kane – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection wins his fair share of races 6-24 on turf and the 5-year-old put in a seasonal best when a neck 2nd of 6 at Windsor last time. Off the same mark here, he stays 7f and is now 2lb below his last winning mark.
Wolverhampton
3:30 – August Place – 11/2 @ Bet365 – Has shown ability in maiden/novice company and was an encouraging 5th of 11 over 7f here 15-days ago. That was the 3-year-old’s first start for 6 months and he should strip fitter today. Handicap debut stepped up to an extended 1m 1f but he’s bred to stay 1m 2f so today’s distance should bring eke out further improvement with James Doyle booked.
Cheers
John
