Flat Racing - 4th Aug

[cc75]

3.30 Brighton: Plattsburgh 1pt win @ 3/1 Ladbrokes BOG Mark Johnston has an enviable record at Brighton with a 30% strike rate and £47 profit to level stakes over the last five seasons. He sends one runner here today, the in-form Plattsburgh. Won comfortably over this trip at Doncaster on penultimate start before running with great credit over the same trip to finish a close runner-up in a better race than todays LTO at Ffos Las. Only 1lb higher than that run today and I think this progressive 3yo could take all the beating with Darryl Holland taking just this one ride at Brighton today.

Re: Flat Racing - 4th Aug Brighton 4:30 Hierarch 8-1 Boyle Sports 1 Point WIN Looking at this horse form it looks to me as if he has been running at unsuitable trips/ground lately and today under his new yard which is in form they run him at mile on good ground. His past performances in these conditions is encouraging with a 2nd off 10lbs higher than today and some creditable performances off a much higher mark than today. No headgear today for the new yard either so they obviously have been working with the horse. This class 6 wont take much winning and trainer has a 30% strike rate here, 60% with his 4 year olds(3/5). Each way is the safe bet but the win at this price is too hard to turn down.
