Hi all,
A frustrating Tuesday with all three selections finishing runner-up in their respective races. On another day they all go in. Today’s selections are from Goodwood, Perth, and Kempton.
Goodwood
4:10 – Secret Shadow – 2/1 @ Bet365 – A promising third over C&D in May she bounced back from a poor run at Haydock when getting up close home over C&D 25-days ago. Up 4lb for that win but comes into the autumn fresher than most and did win twice last October. The filly probably doesn’t want ground quicker than good but should go in again before the season is out.
Perth
2:45 – Bavington Bob – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Won four of his 6 starts over fences last season and looks the sort to make up into a good staying handicap chaser on his second season over the larger obstacles. Never travelling when 3rd of 7 at Haydock in April. However, he was likely in need of break at the time after a long season and the ground was quicker than the going description of good to soft. Tough race to win on seasonal return but he did win first time up last season and should be capable of defying a mark of 130 this season.
Kempton
5:45 – Banddar – 10/1 @ Bet365 – Needs respecting on his racecourse debut run when a promising 5th of 8 to Gimcrack winner Noble Style at Ascot in May. Very disappointing 9th of 10 at Haydock later that month. Has been gelded in the meantime and gets the first time hood for his return to action. Interesting that Danny Tudhope comes down for the ride and he’ll surely run a lot better than he did last time. Interesting to see how he fares in the pre-race betting.
Cheers
John
