And into the home straight...pretty knackered after such a full on week and might be running low on energy! That said it’s been a great week and I’m on 13 winners. Be happy with one more to equal my Ascot record. Yes I back 2-3 each race but I’m still over £150 up on the week so far which I’m more than happy with......and six winners on Wednesday was some buzz!
Race 1
Always a hard race with slower developing 2yos but I have gone for Bedtime Story just inching out Age of Gold. Had a little ew on Miss El Fundi as unlike Sir Mark to pitch one in deep so young and she’s nicely bred.
Race 2
Leger form here and hoping the the winner acts as well on the quicker ground. Soft definitely did for Middle Earth there and also Desert Hero needs to bounce back but the course form is hard to ignore. Wouldn’t dismiss the American horse either as I rate the trainer highly and he’s not one to bring no hopers over.
Race 3
Khaadem did me a huge favour last year in this and it’s hard to get off him. But Spencer has switched to Mitbaahy and that has to be a huge pointer? Burke is bullish on Swingalong at a decent ew price.
Race 4
River Tiber straight in for me as I liked his Coventry win here. Haatem has it to do with a penalty imo and my eye is draw to Kikkuli who’s a half brother to Frankel who ran too free over a mile on Soft. He could appreciate this 7f. Pearls and Rubies might be too big on last year’s form and another who will appreciate drop in drip. But several unexposed so not confident.
Race 5
Pin time!
Harry Three (love Clive Cox/Ryan Moore combi) Unequal Love, Cover Up and Dark Trooper (Kevin Blake flagged)
Race 6
3yo handicap......!
Old Faithful, Hand if God and Nerano (another KB flagged)
Race 7
I’ve thrown in Fasol for Nicholls. Group class in France and first time tongue tie. Has run 2m5 over hurdles and should stay better than most. Uxmall and Queenstown are my others.
Have a great last day everyone....hope you’ve all backed a few winners!
