Hi all,
Good to get back among the winners yesterday. However, it should have been two. I wasn’t happy with the ride Jason Hart gave Going Underground at Newcastle last evening. Granted he can be a tricky ride who must be produced as late as possible, but he over did the waiting tactics and let the winner get first run.
Today’s selections are from Hexham, Warwick and Kempton.
Hexham
3:23 – Fringill Dike – 3/1 @ Bet365 – Made it 4-4 at Hexham when winning a novice hurdle in September. Granted he was a well beaten favourite at Carlisle on his handicap hurdle debut last month. However, slightly better ground and return to this venue could see the 5-year-old show us that his mark is winnable one.
Warwick
1:45 – Get Up Mush – 8/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Shaped with promise when a 4 ½ length 3rd of 12 on hurdle debut at Carlisle 27-days ago. Needs to improve again but a chance is taken that the 4-year-old is capable of doing so.
Kempton
8:00 – Gold Medal – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Recovered from an awkward start to finish a neck 3rd of 10 here (6f) last month. The 4 year-old was doing his best work at the finish that day and looks worth another try at 7f. Same mark today as last time and has a handy enough draw in stall 4.
Cheers
John
