I'm going to see what the price is later, mad betting last time wasn't it, one minute 6/4 after rival pulled out then weak as anything going off over 3/1 on here .

I really like Yalta (coventry), looks to have class but I hate front runners in these ascot sprints.I'm not sure it would have to make the running but it has done and doing that here would be a huge negative for me.

Hard to know what to make of R S there she showed little turn of foot and considering the winner had looked a bit one paced a couple of times (including behind Daisy Bere who R S murdered last week) so a bit dis appointing. Haven't seen any of the card so don't know anything about track position etc but didn't expect her to get ouspeeded!

the one thing which was good was price discipline, would have been dogged with that sp

Got a dilemma with Shadow Game at Hamilton (4:35) tomorrow over the 1m67y. Selected it last time as i thought a straight galloping track 7f would suit (had been running on over 6 and 7f on aw). To me on that run i'm really not sure about tomorrow's trip.

The dilemma is the stats of the sheikh's 3yo in these 3yo+ races have been very strong at this track (10-25, +£22.80 industry sp)

first time distance (6-15, +£14.30 industry sp)

class 4 (6-10, +£19.80 industry sp) ,all different horses.

Perhaps the horse needs this trip now, it's hard to tell sometimes whether they are falling away from the front because they are one paced in the finish or are not well handicapped at trip/finding trip a bit far.

Rarely worry about a shamardal staying tomorrows trip so perhaps i should trust the placement more than my instinct.

Will watch that newbury race again a bit later and make a decision tomorrow

Am usually looking for these unexposed 3yo's (at the trip) over the more staying trips 12f -  2 miles, the record around the mile is not nearly so impressive.I'm talking about all the 3yo's in the 3yo+ not the sheikh's those earlier stats applied to.

I have watched the race back a few times and still don't know what to make of it. Those other entries over shorter are interesting Fatlad.

Gut feeling is saying leave it alone.

A few had the same thinking from what i saw earlier mart, the other one that had showed little on its 2 runs was quite well backed and ran much better.Hard to be confident on a 2yo you've never seen before, for all you can look at pedigrees.

I'm off any how Mart been a long day.

Hope you are doing ok with your punting.

Fire Fighting today or wait for Goodwood,what do you think Stride

Season still not really kicked in fully and no selections last week for the first time.The good 2yo form is maintained with 5-19 (3 fto) obliging last week on turf.The 2yo's thus far have been striking well above average and have dominated.

A lot of the horses are running well and placing, 0-27 last week for the 3yo's look's poor but a number of near misses and some credible efforts at RA.

A couple of 4yo's last week salieris mass was not really a price for me and togetherwecan a lowly rated mdn ridden by an inexperienced 7lb claimer riding her first winner was not on my radar unfortunately.

generally the same theme continues, 2yo's going great guns and 3yo's not really firing consistently yet this season, the non 2yo's have ground to make up over the next couple of months if this season is to fall into the normal range of sr's.

Hoping for some nice fast ground in July and August and the 3yo+ runners to take over the limelight.

You'd think this placement looks pretty good the 7 1/2 round here and an ease in class.

Was pretty amazed when i looked the other day 1-35 for 3yo's in the 3yo+ hcps at distance less than 10f round here.

This is a track that is definitely targeted with decent sr's but i did a double take looking at that.

Final was murdered by fanning's route last time, everyone would have seen it so hardly under the radar.

Up in trip, small field has to be interesting at this track again but market likely to have it priced accordingly.

I can't see i'll be playing it either, not totally convinced 10f will suit this as much as some of the others and this sire is not a 'go to' one in terms of stepping up in trip like your shamrdal,cape cross, halling type etc.

July and August the hot spot at Beverley with horses that come here on the back of a mediocre or poor looking run lto, unexposed at trip a big plus.

*Beverley runners

Can't get over such a poor return from these 3yo's in 3yo+ races over the shorter trips Fatlad, that bothers me considering the yard's excellent record here in general.

Final is definitely stronger on the stats for me.

But happy to pass on both at the prices.

gl today

Shame there wasn't a few more runners for the price

ie i am wanting a fair bit bigger than i should with price at the lower end.

I was expecting a write up of sorts today striding or are there none that qualify?

*tomorrow

I've had flyers on Powderhorn and Dream Of Summer in the 650K the first time gelded up to 1m back on the AW for Powderhorn seemed like worth chancing at 16's
Hawatif is in a good race I liked Normandie Lady at Catterick and Fidelma Moon was 2nd in the Carlisle race that's working out well threw on some fc's and exactas but got wins on NL & FM at 9's+

Yes it was.

Rosamaria's race tomorrow.

Was to keen up there when ran over tomorrow's CD and only buckled late beaten 1 1/2l, marked that up given the running style in race. LTO murdered up the rails, Franny couldn't get it out last 2f when ridden with more patience.

Small field tomorrow and a couple not sure to stay, should go back to front running imo and must go close if all is well.

The 2yo stats when he sends those with a couple of runs under belt are very strong, even if they've been stuffed in those races.

Be interesting what prices they are, don't expect much tbh.
