Wednesday Selections – August 18th 2021

Hi all,

Dire form for the service going into York’s Ebor Festival which I could have done without. I have one selection from York and the other two are from Carlisle & Kempton.  

York

3:00 – High Definition – 100/30 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Remains the most interesting of the trio of Aidan O’Brien trained runners. Unbeaten on his two juvenile starts. He made and promising seasonal reappearance when a 2 length third to Hurricane Lane here in the Dante in May. However, he didn’t give his running well behind that one in the Irish Derby last time. He remains capable of better and is given one more chance.

Carlisle

1:00 – Glory Fighter – 10/1 @ Bet365 or 9/1 @ Coral & Paddy Power – Twice a winner last August and he hasn’t been in much from this season although he shaped well enough on his first two starts in the spring, including when a 2 ¾ length 5th of 17 at York in May. A reproduction of that run or when winning at Musselburgh in October of 3lb higher would be good enough here.  

Kempton

8:15 – Crystal Casque – 11/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A three-time course winner, the mare hasn’t won since returning in April but has run a couple of promising races here, including when ½ length 3rd of 11 here over a mile in May, off 5lb higher. Not disgraced when 6th of 9 over C&D last week when not getting the best of runs 2f out. Now below her last winning mark she wouldn’t be winning out of turn.

Cheers1

John
