Race 4             No.3     ADMIRAL JELLO

Race 5               No.9     DAGNY

Race 9             No.11   NEW UNIVERSE

 

 

Race 1

7 – 5 – 8 – 9

7 Fiesta was most unlucky on debut when third in the Gimcrack after drawing awkwardly. She has trialled since and looked as though she had taken good benefit from the debut effort. The wet track is obviously a query with all these youngsters. Godolphin has two chances but I think their leading player is 8 Gododdin who showed good race sense when winning a recent barrier trial. 5 Tactical Formation looked sharp in a recent barrier trial win and he is by renowned wet track sire Mossman.

 

BET:     Win bet 7 FIESTA

 

 

Race 2

6 – 1 – 3 – 4

Chris Waller has the two leading chances to my eye with the top one 1 Sambro and the highly touted 6 Kaonic. Not many horses do what Kaonic did last start when he lost all his momentum at about the 500m but was still able to pick himself up and chase down the leader. Sambro was super last start when his rider let him slide too early and was only beaten in the final few bounds. The good gate here will make sure he’s a player. 3 The Mighty Fed has only been fair of late but he will strip fitter here and he is the wet track runner in this line up.

 

BET:     Win bet 6 KAONIC

 

 

Race 3

11 – 1 – 9 – 7

BET:     NO IDEA- IT’S EARLY BUT GO THE BAR

 

 

Race 4

3 – 4 – 1 – 5

3 Admiral Jello has been going terrific and turns up here off a four week freshen up following a super second to Auvray in the group 3 Colin Stephen quality. From a good draw he should tag Social Element and give the favourite something to run down. 4 Alward has won four of past five starts and is hard to beat again but he comes here off a hard slog win last time out and this will likely be a bit more sit and sprint. The drop in weight of 4.5kg is certainly a big plus. 1 Destiny’s Kiss is the wet tracker of the field and has been racing in good heart.

 

BET:     Win bet 3 ADMIRAL JELLO

 

 

Race 5

9 – 3 – 7 – 4

I think 9 Dagny will get a perfect run from a soft barrier tagging a good tempo with King Darci, Improvement and Peacock all expected to roll forward. Dagny is third up so should be ready and with the rain around it has only enhanced her chances as will the step to 1400m.

 

BET:     Win bet 9 DAGNY

 

 

Race 6

4 – 3 – 5 – 6

I am in the corner of 4 Albumin but I’m a little scared of the heavy track as he failed at his only attempt on a similar surface. That said he’s going better now and being out of Secret Savings mare I am hoping he can get through it. His runs of late have all been full of merit and from gate one and a fair tempo I thought he could stalk and have last look here at some value. 3 Goodfella was outstanding winning here a fortnight ago when forced to cover ground yet he continued to chase then fight when the challengers came.

 

BET:     Backing 4 ALBUMIN

Save on 3 GOODFELLA

 

 

Race 7

3 – 2 – 4 – 6

Going with the class of 3 Daysee Doom even with the fact she is dropping back from the mile to 1200m in only a fortnight. She has drawn perfect and should be able to tag a fair tempo and with a rain affected track is just might bring the six furlong horses back to her a bit. Her stablemate 2 Dixie Blossoms falls into the same category but is likely to be giving a bigger start but she is sure to charging hard late.

 

BET:     Each way bet 3 DAYSEE DOOM

 

 

Race 8

1 – 3 – 9 – 6

1 Zenalicious turns up here out of a good race behind Dixie Blossoms and Daysee Doom and if she gets speed on she could easily blow her rivals off the park. She has drawn poorly and is likely to go back but she does posse a very sharp sprint. 3 Hogmanay looks value after blowing the start last time out before charging early in the straight before the early effort told. A senior rider goes on and if he jumps well he will give a good sight. 9  Mapmaker will jump and roll forward and only has to run up to any of his past five runs and he is a player.

 

BET:     Backing 1 ZENALICIOUS

 

 

Race 9

11 – 10 – 5 – 13

I am waiting all day for my best with 11 New Universe from the Chris Waller stable with Jason Collett to steer. He is a winner of four from six career starts and turns up here fresh from a 20 week break. There looks fair speed with Sweet Serendipity who should roll along giving all horses their chance. New Universe has trialled twice in readiness but has done so well within himself. 10 Crafty Cop looks the only danger to my eye.

 

BET:     Backing 11 NEW UNIVERSE

 

 

QUADDRELLA:

 

1st leg:    3 – 4 – 5 – 6

2nd leg:   2 – 3 – 4 – 6 – 8 – 10

3rd leg:    1 – 3 – 6 – 9 – 10 – 11

4th leg:    10 – 11
