I'm off to Sandown today so if you see me come and say hello! But now for the important stuff and this weeks selections after a fantastic week last.
2:05 Sandown - B Fifty Two
We start of this weekend at Sandown where John Hills is taken to land the opener with the potentially well handicapped B Fifty Two. In truth his only worthwhile form since his two year old years came behind Khubala at Windsor when he could only manage fifth. But as a result from them efforts he has tumbled down the weights while still hinting at ability on numerous occasions. At the height of his two year old season he had earned a rating of 107 which has since dropped 21 pounds down to a workable mark of 86. It has been 78 days B Fifty Two graced the racecourse but during that time has had many declarations to his name that he hasn't taken up. Each time top class jockeys have been booked which isn't too common for the stable and today is no different with William Buick getting the leg up. One last comment is that he has a poor draw of 15 at Sandown, but id be wary of draw bias today as the sprint winners all came wide yesterday. B Fifty Two to refind the winning thread at a big price. (25/1)
2:20 Chester - New Fforest
New Fforest is a progressive horse for the Andrew Balding yard and was last seen when showing a nice turn of foot during her win at Warwick. Unlike B Fifty Two she has the perfect draw at Chester and will have the rail which is oh so important round here, providing she jumps well of course. The yard is also in good form and were amongst the winners here yesterday as well as throwing in a 2nd placed effort for good measure. Young claimer Oisin Murphy takes the ride again after winning on her last time out and combined with the three pounds allowance she carries just 8-6. This is ten pounds less than her official mark and should be able to do some damage against the older horses today. Oisin Murphy to make is 2 from 2 aboard New Fforest. (4/1)
2:40 Beverley - Masamah
It's time for the Beverley Bullet over the flying five and Borderlescott looks to add to his victory last year, preference is for Marco Botti's representative in Masamah however. His most recent appearance was at Glorious Goodwood when eighth behind the progressive Moviesta when meeting trouble. He showed excellent early pace that day and blazed the trail from the front, he remained there till around a furlong and a half out. At this point his chance was fading but certainly wasn't helped by Tickled Pink and Spirit Quartz making him the meat in a sandwich, after that happened Neil Callan just eased him home. Today is notably easier despite still being competitive and the cheekpieces stay on, his record with them on is 518 all in top class races. Masamah to finally get his big day in the sun in the Beverley Bullet. (8/1)
3:30 Chester - Savanna La Mar
Sir Mark Prescott has a nice one here with Savanna La Mar who is a daughter of the 2008 Horse of the Year, Curlin. She began her 3 year old season with 2 runs in Europe, one in Germany and one in France both of which she finished fifth. She was then bought back over to England and reappeared in a hot Fillies Listed race where she was beaten a length into fourth. Turning for home she was readily outpaced and didn't look likely to trouble the judge but somehow found herself in front two furlongs out. She battled to the line but was swamped against the rail while showing a likable attitude in defeat and beat some nice horses including Bite Of The Cherry. Her strongest form came in her two year old season however where she only won once which came at Chester over 7 furlongs. After that she went on to finish just 4 and a quarter lengths behind Certify over a distance far too short for her, today is much more to her liking. Savanna La Mar to land the spoils. (11/1)
5:25 Market Rasen - Coronea Lilly
We have a while to wait for today's NAP as it comes over the jumps at Market Rasen with Neil Mulholland's mare Coronea Lilly. Despite being a nine year old she has been lightly raced due to some injuries but it hasn't affected her ability at all. This season she has been second over course and distance twice in more competitive affairs than this one promises to be. There are a couple of question marks here however, smaller field races can sometimes turn into a crawl which wont benefit her in the slightest. The other worry is her jumping, I was surprised last time as it was that are that cost her the race when usually she is very slick through the air. But she hails from a yard bang in form and gets in off the mark as last time again, so in a weaker race Coronea Lilly can finally get her win. (2/1)
NAP - Coronea Lilly
Nb - Savanna La Mar
Good luck today guys and as always, Happy Punting!
