Hi all,
Another frustrating runner-up yesterday as Global Acclamation had victory snatched away in the shadow of the post at Wolverhampton, after looking the winner when going clear inside the final furlong.
A rare four selection day but it could easily have been six. Today’s selections are from Kempton & Wolverhampton.
Kempton
1:15 – Golden Bear – 4/1 @ Bet365 – Was quietly fancied for a Class 2 Goodwood nursery 13-days ago but he was badly hampered at the start and could never competitive. He’s better than he was able to show that day and looks on workable mark dropping back in to Class 5 company today.
4:55 – My Frankel – 100/30 @ Paddy Power – Shaped with promise on his only juvenile start behind Palace Pier at Sandown last August. Despite being a shade keen after a 300-day absence he ran out a decisive winner of a Leicester maiden in June. He remains open to plenty of improvement and connections patience can be rewarded.
Wolverhampton
5:35 – Absolutio – 5/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Made his Wolverhampton debut a winning one when landing a 6f handicap 17-days ago. He travelled strongly through the race that day and the drop back to 5f shouldn’t be a problem for the selection. Up 3lb in a deeper race but he looks sure to give his running again.
6:40 – Quaint – 4/1 @ Bet365 – The selection remains a maiden after seven starts but looks capable of winning a race. Hampered at the start at Lingfield 12-days ago and didn’t get the best of runs two out she did well to finish as close as she did in third. Should be in the mix if taking to the tapeta surface.
Cheers
John
