Sir Ron Priestly saved our bacon yesterday and followed my script perfectly, Popmaster went close too and got us a slight return in a race where less than ½ length covered the first 4 home.
Friday we are again on ITV3
All each way today
1.50 Newmarket KING FRANKEL – Progressive type with a string of good runs under his belt, yard has won 6 of the last 8 renewals.
2.05 York BOLLIN JOAN – 5lb penalty for wining at Ripon on Monday more comfortably than the winning margin suggests. The useful Ella McCain takes off 5 negating that penalty.
225 Newmarket DESERT DREAMER – Goes well here. Just held last time when denied a clear run. Expected to be on the premises again.
2.40 York DANDALLA – Won a pair of Group races as a juvenile over this trip. Showed plenty of signs of coming to hand on unsuitable ground in the Commonwealth Cup. This is a drop back in class on ideal going.
3.00 Newmarket GLOBAL STORM – Several of these met in the Copper Horse handicap at the royal meeting. GLOBAL STORM was third behind AMIYAZ that day but the revised weights should see him get a lot closer in this.
3.35 Newmarket INDIE ANGEL – ALCOHOL FREE will be very popular having won 4 of her 6 starts but she has yet to show her best on going this quick. Oaks winner MOTHER EARTH must be respected too but ready preference is for INDIE ANGEL who will relish conditions and wasn’t stopping when trouncing the opposition in the Duke Of Cambridge. It is hard to believe he is generally 14/1.
