BBOTD 1st April


Recommended Posts

Re: BBOTD 1st April 16:20 Musselburgh Mark Johnston's Guest Book looks like a potential improver this season having only had 6 runs to date and due to the fact his best effort to date came on his last run in 2010 I expect more to come from this gelding. He had three races in 2009 as a 2 year old where he won a maiden at Chepstow over 7 furlongs on his 2nd start after a 6th place finish at Newmarket on his debut. He then entered handicap company off a mark of 79 in a 7 furlong race at Ayr. He finished 2nd in a 10 runner field finishing only 2 lengths off the winner before being put away for the winter. Was nearly a year before he was next on course when he reappeared at Beverley over 7 furlongs in August 2010 finishing 4/13 off a mark of 83. He was then stepped up to 10 furlongs at Chester where he didn't have the best of runs but Chester is a bit of a specialist track so that run doesn't worry me and I also feel the trip may have just stretched him a bit. His last run as a 3 year old came off a mark of 82 and he produced a great effort in the mud at Epsom over 9 furlongs, again Epsom is a bit of a specialist track so I was really impressed with that run. The 3rd place, who was 5 lengths behind, has won since and the winner has placed off a mark 6lbs higher in a hot handicap at York. Guest Book has been raised 3lbs for that run but is dropped in class today and also tries the mile trip for the first time which is a trip I think will suit him just fine. I think there is plenty in favour for him today over the other horses in the race and he is definetely the one to beat for a stable in good form. Win Guest Book @ 3/1 (Bet365 - BOG)
