Flat Racing 11th April

[chris34]

3.40 Wolverhampton The only race of the day with a couple of names catching my eye. Spinning Ridge has been in great form recently with probert knowning the horse inside out and getting the leg up yet again today, 2lb rise for latest win is more than fair and still remains 6lb below highest winning mark and is well known to string good efforts together and could continue his good run. Drawn hasnt been the kindest but he has been held up recently. The most interesting runner has to be Magical Illusion for the inform Evans yard. His jockey bookings are always hard to work out as they have so many runners these days. But Gannon has become one of his top jockeys and has done well with him and Doyle who rides Evans other runner hasnt had anywhere near as many rides for him also Doyles horse El Liberator is a frustrating sort who is still a maiden after 27 starts often costing punters plenty along the way and is usually worth opposing. Magical Illusion hasnt been seen for nearly 3 years but yard going well and in my opinion first jockey booked and well drawn in stall. Could be dangerously handicapped if fully fit having last been seen winning a competitive nursery off a 2lb higher mark. Also interesting yard have perservered with her (although wouldnt be surprised if she might have had/tried to have a foal cant find any records anywhere to suggest this thoug). 1pt win Spinning Ridge 2pts win Magical Illusion

Last win was 2 seasons ago in a class 3 so you can see how much the horse has come down the handicap but has ran well here before. The apprentice booking takes another 5lb off its back. Simple Rhythym last turf win was 2 years ago off 65 and last win on the AW was ridden by Natasha Eaton who gets the ride again today. Gwilym is the course specialist and is 6lb lower than best win on the turf. Not out of it by any means but rarely ridden by an apprentice. Summary I cannot ignore Silver Winds mark down to 60 and the hcapper has put the horse in with a great chance. Dark Lane should take all the beating here and will start fav. The one for the tricast is Gwilym Bets Silver Wind 7/1 VCbet 0.5pts Dark LAne 9/2 VCbet 0.25pts Tricast combination on Silver wind, Dark Lane and Gwilym 0.24pts
