Guys,

I rarely post individual threads stating 'back this' or 'lay that' (although i have an on-going one for the latter as many of you will know) but there's a 2 year old filly running this afternoon that i'm particulary sweet on in the 2TBP and win markets at a reasonable price.

Snazzy - 3.15 Beverley

A tricky 5f nursery with only 6 runners.

Snazzy is speedily bred, relatively lightly raced with only 5 starts.

Only ran in class 1 and 2 races including a couple of black type, but drops in grade today.

Won a 5f class 2 conditions stakes (12 runners) on debut cosily (after being snatched up) backed from 13/2 into 5/1 SP. Came from well off the pace, a run that showed promise for the future.

Was upped to 5f listed class next time out finishing a 1.5L 3rd of 14 to Signora Cabello who has since won a listed race, 2 x Group 2 races and was runner up in the Prix Morny last week.

Didn't show much in the 5f Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (17th of 22) although she raced on the unfavoured far side and all the pace was in the centre. Not a good run at all, but not a very bad one either (beaten 9.25L) and i think she can be forgiven for this one.

She then went for the 5f Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury where she veered left at the start, ran freely, yet still finished 6th of 25 after a slightly troubled run, staying on well and only beaten 2.25L by Ginger Nut who has been a runner-up and winner in 2 decent nurseries since.

Her run LTO was 8th of 14, beaten 4.5L by one of today runners and almost certain favourite, Princess Power. She was giving away 11 lb then, today she's 5 lb better off. Not enough to turn the deficit around of course, but she's back over 5f that will favour her and i feel the jockey change is a definite positive.

It's difficult to know where the early pace is coming from as most of them run from off it, but Snazzy has shown it once, although i feel she's probably better coming with a late run. I suspect it will be either her or Packington Lane.

Snazzy is drawn in stall 3 that's fine if she's going to lead, but personally i would rather she was in 6. Of course it all depends on how trainer/jockey plan the tactics.

Has mainly been ridden by Stevie Donohue, except on debut (David Probert) but today Ben Curtis takes the ride. I like the jockey and rate him (certainly the best in this field including Paul Hanagan) but he's one of those you rarely read headlines about and generally rides at lower class Northern tracks. Last 14 days = 24% winning strike rate and a healthy profit if you backed every one of his mounts to a level stake this season.

Races off 80 today and i feel it's a good mark.

I could have over-analysed the field, eyed something that isn't really there and got it completely wrong, but when i saw the odds late last night and vaquely remembered her name thought i would check her form and watch the video replays. If she had been around 5.0 i probably wouldn't have bothered, but i got matched higher last night and this morning (9.8, 10.0 and 10.5/3.3, 3.8 and 4.0) albeit to small amounts, but will try again. I appreciate liquidity is dire the night before and odds are all over the place.

I simply feel she's slipped into this race under the radar and punters may concentrate on the favourite Princess Power who i accept is improving quickly and on a low weight.

If my reading of the field is correct, Snazzy will stay on strongly from off the pace and finish in the front two at least, even win (she could lead of course).

If she finishes last, or close to it, then i will accept the forums daily muppet of the day award, slope away quietly and take up crochet Laugh

Good luck if you play.

As two year olds improve rapidly from race to race difficult to access, looking at Atr speed ratings it looks like Big Ace,Princess Power and Rockin Roy have improved more than Snazzy, not to say she can’t catchup, interesting race, at a guess I would plump for Rockin Roy, but weight to give to others
Report GEORGE.B • August 26, 2018 12:20 PM BST
Good luck, Andrew.

I selected Snazzy when she ran at Royal Ascot on my notebook thread, having thought her York run wanted marking up, given she'd raced with the choke out from the outside stall and had disputed the pace throughout, and all things considered had probably done well to finish as close as she did. So fair to say it was a great disappointment to me (and to my beleaguered reader) when she didn't finish anywhere near Signora Cabello next time (albeit she might have had excuses). At least this looks an easier assignment for her today.

Incidentally, the other one I noted in that York Listed race was Carrie's Vison (runs today, 4.00 Yarmouth), as she never got much daylight at all and finished with running left in her, and my opinion was she might have hit the frame had she got a clear run (still only finished 4l behind Signora Cabello), but she hasn't gone on at all in two starts since.

Ghost,

I deleted most of the text before i posted Laugh

She's been backed since posting, but it's not necessarily a gamble. In my opinion, she was simply over-priced last night/early morning and is now trading around the odds i would have expected if i was pricing the race up.

I've actually layed RR in the 2TBP market at low odds.

Good luck.

First time headgear on free-goers and first time headgear on horses going up in distance, not convinced by either of these!

As demonstrated by The Knot Is Tied at Beverley, stepping up half a mile in trip to 2 miles, if you think that's a source of improvement then why the need for headgear too? Result: horse nearly ended up in the adjacent field with the cows Crazy

It doesn't matter what the breeding is if a horse has done it then it's done it. ie the fav.

If you want to take breeding literally then you'd have to have Rockin Roy as a decent plus IF it went with some cut.

Ground not changed too much yet is now GOOD.

You talk to people like they are fookin idiots sometimes mart. You talk as though you are the only one who looks at pedigrees. You wouldn't put a fraction of the time I put in on a vast array of stats variables, you simply couldn't do working as you do (unless you never slept).

Hi Guys,

I sent an email (polite) to Charlie Fellowes earlier, so i'll post any response, assuming i receive one of course.

I simply asked why Snazzy ran poorly yesterday, change of ground (only raced on good to firm before) or maybe she didn't like the visor ?

Obviously not her true form, she was beaten 2f out and is better that that.

I'm not concerned with the losing stake, it wasn't significant anyway, i'm just curious.

Ithekonow,

Totally agree, but not overanalyzing.

If she had been beaten a couple of lengths, fine, call it an off day, but i'm simply curious for future reference. Reading Charlies web-page the filly was well thought of by some of the stable staff, she did have the best form line in the race and was well backed later, even before the 2 x NR's.

Glasgow,

Yes i suggested soft ground and fto visor in my email.
