Ran on from the back to finish 3rd

Catt 2.20 A couple of horses catch my eye here ..... Timbukone 5/1 bet365 Coligone Kate 8/1 bet365 both having their second outing and in both cases the horse that finished immediately behind them last time has won next time out Coligone Kate probably had the better debut but Timbukone's yard is in better form now If I have to plump for one I'll go ..... Coligone Kate 8/1 bet365

Piffle won ..... I didn't catch the race live but just watched the replay on the Sporting Life site ...... something obviously happened here as there was a couple of non runners then 5 other horses 'withdrawn' ...... which usually means 'withdrawn at the start' Don't know why but it only ended up with 4 runners from 11 declared when I posted earlier today

7.05 Windsor Two horses catch my eye ....... both ran in the same maiden race at Newbury on debut and having their second runs today Hersilia finished 5th Piffle finished 7th Both are 2/1 at bet365 Normally I would back the one that finished in front but I have a feeling the places might be reversed so I'm going with Piffle 2/1 bet365 By the way that Newbury form hasn't particularly worked out so ther might be some value in one of the bigger priced ones or an EW shot So how about EW - Petal Power 28/1 bet365 - ran at Newbury on debut, second run today, Mic

I like to look at two year olds having their 2nd run, who showed promise on their first run and who's trainers likes to 'leave a bit to work on' with debut runners* A big plus factor is horses who made their debuts at Newbury or Ascot and are now running at lesser tracks *when I was following this a few years ago I made notes on trainers (approximately two hundred of them) with a quick summary of their usual methods with first time runners, whether they had two year old winners, any quirks of track or going which suited their horses best etc. But that was a few years ago and the trai

I had a bit of luck sticking up 2 year old maiden runners in the Nap of the Day thread so I might post a few selections here It's a different test than the usual races for older horses ...... not much, if any, form to go on so you're mainly at looking at breeding and trainer patterns, eg if they get them ready first time, if they improve with racing, if they have favourite tracks to introduce their better horses etc

Big race in France on Wednesday night ..... it's the Grand Prix de Paris This is like the Derby Championship of Europe as it's the last 12 furlong Group One for 3 year olds ..... and usually attracts winners or placed horses from the Epsom, French and Irish Derbies plus Royal Ascot and so sorts out the pecking order of the form lines
