Hi all,
A treble yesterday clawed back most of the month’s losses and it could have been even better as another selection was caught in the final 110yds at Market Rasen.
Today’s selections are from Ludlow & Kempton.
Ludlow
3:00 – Bellatrixsa – 9/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Returned from 7 months absence with a 9 ½ length 2nd of 5 at Chepstow on her handicap hurdle debut last month. Unlucky to come up against a well handicapped rival that day. Twice a winner in novice company last season on good to soft, including over C&D, and the 5-year-old looks the one to beat returned to racing against her own sex.
Kempton
5:30 – Almodovar Del Rio – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection put in a career best when a short-head 2nd of 10 to Roxzoff in handicap at Wolverhampton last time. The winner went in again at Southwell last evening so the form looks reliable. Effective on the polytrack and looks capable of going close again from a handy draw in stall 3.
7:00 – Eyes – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Just about a career best from the 4-year-old when a 1 ¼ length 2nd of 9 to one of today’s rivals Khatwah over C&D two weeks ago. Off the same mark here and gets 5lb from the winner. Granted that one is progressive and bids for the hat trick here but provided the selection gets a decent pace to chase I think she can take advantage of a pull in the weights.
Cheers
John
