Have to say some of my selections were close yesterday, a great day of racing and what a great sight to see Midday and Twice Over battling out the finish. Two truly out and out quality animals.
2.00 Yearling Stakes 2yo 6f
This was the race last year when we saw the terrific Wooton Bassett, that horse last season went from strength to strength and been a little disappointing this year but that could be down to a few setbacks. Anyway this race has any element of interest today, I dont usually back races such as this like Nursery's etc but again I'm looking at a horse that looks the most progressive and sticks out like a sore thumb. RED ART trained by Barry Hills looks the one to be on. Was very unlucky in it last run at Chester ran an absloute blinder staying on in the finish to end up an unlucky second over 6f, has excellent form on soft ground which I sure maybe a little more testing after the rain we've had over night. At 14/1 a nice price the only slight negative could be the draw but if they go towards the middle has every chance. Strongly fancy this one RED ART.
2.30 Lowther Stakes 6f
Another two year old contest but you could say this has the better quality. I'm heading over the Irish Sea to find the winner of this race and thats the Davey Wachman trained FIRE LILLY this horse is undoubtedly progressive, will love the ground and has a future entry in the Cheveley Park stakes later next month. That for me is a true sign that the trainer thinks alot about this horse. Also if you look at it last run on yielding ground in Ireland you'll see that this horse was increasing its win distance inside the final furlong and stayed on strongly. Again a nice price around 6/1 for you each way punters.
3.05 Goddard Stakes Handicap 1m
It appears from the stats that favourites do not seem to do very well in this race, from 1994 only four favourites have won this race. Is that a clue in itself? Well from my point of view it is, this is usually won by a horse who is relatively lightly weighted and out of the handicappers grasp. These factors point towards an outsider who will appeciate the ground no end as he showed back in October of last year at this very track. The trainer David Simcock is one of my favourite trainers out there and has had a very good month so far and as PINTURA in weighted nicely, was staying on all the time in the run to the line at Good wood last time out. This horse at around 15/2 has very strong chance of winning this race, if Jamie Spencer rides this horse with patience and delivers him at the right time, I'm sure he can take this. PINTURA.
3.40 1m 4f Derbyshire Fillies Oaks
The fillies go to post here and a good renewal of this race. Midday taking this prize last year. A close contest this year and I think it necessary to mention her that BLUE BUNTING will take all the beating her. Winning at the Curragh in the Irish Oaks and taking the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket is no mean feet. This filly is totally honest and forward in everything she does. She's also proved in Ireland that she can handle the softer surface and has every chance her.
4.15 1m 4f Fillies listed.
WILD COCO (nap) will go off the lightly favourite but is it really any wonder, this filly has shown she is capable over this trip, is in my opinion better than all these and has the most progressive profile. Sir Henry Cecil may have to acknowledge that from its last run on the Sussex Downs the horse didnt really travel and didnt handle the track all that well, this can be put right today at the Knavesmire. WILD COCO (nap).
Alkl my selections are in with a chance today I feel quite sure of that!
