Hi all,
Carlisle
4:30 – Viadera – 2/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner of a 1m Curragh handicap, under top-weight, on her last start. She doesn’t need to improve on that running to win this. Drops back a furlong today but it’s a stiff track which should suit her.
Ffos Las
4:40 – Kings Monarch – 8/1 – Gen – The selection must prove his stamina for 3m, both wins in February/March came over shorter. The 6-year-old remains capable of better over fences and if his stamina holds looks on a competitive mark.
Kempton
8:50 – In Demand – 13/2 @Bet365 – The 4-year-old returned from a 235-day break and gelding operation to finish 4th of 15 at Carlisle 15-days ago. The first time blinkers he wore that day have been replaced by the visor. Has had just the six career starts and looks capable of bold show if the headgear has the desired effect.
Salisbury
3:50 – Wahash – 8/1 @ William Hill – The selection was beaten just a head by Power Of Darkness in this race last year and gets an 11lb pull in the weights. This year’s race looks more competitive but if all the cards fall right the 5-year-old is capable of winning.
4:20 – Great Example – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – I fancied the colt to go well at Royal Ascot last week, but he was pulled out due to the rain softened ground. The selection makes his handicap debut off what looks a competitive mark of 91. Won a maiden over 1m 2f at Ripon last month but is bred to appreciate the step up to 1m 4f.
Cheers
John
