What are you backing Today?

Global Storm (Newmarket 3.35) has an interesting profile for this heritage handicap. He was beaten at short odds in maiden or novice races last season. He was gelded since that and subsequently improved this year, winning two handicaps and then placing on his final outing.

It's an open handicap and really anything could win but I reckon the gelding operation has brought about a lot of improvement in him so he's the selection to defy the handicapper once again.

Also, did someone mention Kimifive recently?

I cannot remember, but the horse is winking at me at a nice price in the Bunbury tomorrow.
 
In the Bunbury Cup I think Spanish City should be shorter than 16/1. I have smart figures for the Wokingham last time and he should be suited by this step back up to seven. The horse has an improving profile and I'm a big fan of the trainer. I'll also be backing Vale Of Kent at a nice price. The way the Johnston horses are finishing their races this week is impressive, Dettori takes the ride and this is a drop in class from last time.

Lord Glitters 3.15A is already a gp1 winner at this track (no penalty) and with Marie's Diamond to tow them along, looks a decent win & place bet at the current 8/1.
 
The fav in that looks solid but then again Trebellum did not much for the Queen Anne form yesterday and shorties who were unlucky losers lto are usually worth taking on.

That said it's quite open. I've thrown Zaaki in a couple of multis

Was actually thinking that wouldn't be a bad shout for the forecast reet the way the race may pan out.
 
I like Kimifive in the Bunbury Cup. A tentative selection although I see he is well backed today.

Also took a chance on Lord Tennyson in the 3.15 at Ascot. John Gosden is a master at getting horses from handicaps to listed or group races. Granted this one's Royal Hunt Cup run wasn"t too good but I have put a line through it.

Two nice winners from Jason Weaver in Indie Angel and Carlos Felix. When he’s pretty confident, he’s worth following.
 
Lovely to see Oxted win.

Rose through the top handicaps with Fallon on board.

Great result for connections and clearly meant so much to the lad leading up. Lovely to watch. Think the time was quick too.
 
Cork 5.45

Lynn Britt Cabin steps up to Group Three company from placing last time in a decent handicap. Maybe 12/1 underestimates her chance?

Fifteen minutes earlier Murtagh runs Siamese (Dundalk 5.30) in a Group Three who was second in the same handicap as Lynn Britt Cabin behind Music To My Ears the last day. Maybe he can take the step up to frank that handicap form from the last day.

I've had a brief look ahead at the Magnet Cup on Saturday. I was surprised to see Pivoine available at 14/1. I half-expected him to be half that price. After all, he beat a Godolphin job into second last year and is now only 2lbs higher. The chances are he's been trained for the race.

I plan to look more closely over the next couple of days for one or two other stabs at some value but was happy to avail myself of some of that 14/1 this evening in the meantime.

Paul Kealy headlines Pivoine in the Weekender. I've gone in again at 12/1, now the best price going. He'll probably be 7/1 by Saturday.

In a strongly run c/d race latest, Emirates Knight (6.45K) beat all bar the stronger stayer and, with nothing of the same calibre in tonight's race, ought to show them all the way home.
An obvious pick, he's still worth backing @ the current 7/2.

Air Raid 2.00Ham, won this last year (3-3 0ver c/d) is only 2lb higher tomorrow, loves the track and will revel in the likely g/s ground.
6/1 still available, (though might drift considering my miserable recent form).
