Flat Racing 7th September

[chris34]

7.20 Kempton No obvious front runner in this field so wouldnt expect that strong gallop, Iron Step has been known to front run and is still relatively lightly raced but encounters this surface for the first time and hasnt been at his best on recent starts and still 2lb above last winning mark. Oetzi is another that can be up with pace, yet to really prove he truly stays the mile and again encounters the surface for the first time. Catchanov has won his last 2 starts around here, making it 3 from 5 and 3 from 4 over CD and clearly relishes a trip around here, can be versatile as far as tactics and can race prominently. Appeared to win with a bit to spare last time out and although up 4lb should go well again off career high mark and well drawn to be prominent in stall 2. The other that interests me is Fanshawes runner who again legs up Fallon and this team have enjoyed a good time of things recently and yard form is very good and although Ferruccio is yet to win a race he looks capable of winning something and soon. Gone close last 2 starts in maiden company and even closer last time out on AW debut in a handicap, 2nd to Catchanova by half a length last time out and is 7lb better off with that rival tonight. 2pt win Catchanova 1pt win Ferruccio 8.20 Kempton Iron Condor won on turf for the first time last time out at Yarmouth over 1m3+f. He won with plenty in hand obviously that was off a much lower turf mark, but clearly fresh from a break and in tip top form and returned to his favourite venue he could well be very hard to beat off a career high mark. He is 2 from 7 over course and been placed another 4 times and is 2 from 5 over CD. Draw has put him out wide but with his hold up tactics that isnt a major concern and a good pace should be assured with Becausewecan and with the keen going Warneford in first time blinkers and Dynamic Drive likely to push the pace. 2pt win Iron Condor 3/1 Boyles

FLAT racing - Sept 7th

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	Doncaster 4:50
Selection	Sea Soldier (Each-way)
Strength	1/10
Date	07/09/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Skybet @ 13.00
Reasoning	Beaten only 1 length by White Frost last time out and Newmarket (7f). That rival followed up with another C&D winner. The selection only had five races so there could be more. He was preogressing well this year beginning the year with a 2nd by 1 length to Sir Henry Cecil's Emilio Lago at Salisbury then won a maiden after that at Warwick by 3/4 lengths to Roger Varian's 4-9 favorite Kawssaj. The 3yo Red Ransom gelding is booked with David Probert for the first time. Probert for trainer Andrew Balding's 3yo's this year have won 16 out of 46 and this is their only partnership of the day.

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	Doncaster 4:50
Selection	Johnny Castle (Each-way)
Strength	1/10
Date	07/09/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 11.00
Reasoning	Eased to beat just 1 in runner of 12 last time out but capable of bouncing back. Going into last time out he had won the previous two starts and finished 2nd in the last four runs. William Buick was not on board last time out and he is scheduled for today. Buick on the selection have finished 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, and 1st. The selection won at the C&D (maiden) in June with Nicky Mackay then followed up with a win at Newmarket with Buick on board. Trainer John Gosden has a good record with 3yo's here the last two years having won 9 of 27 with this year at 3 wins from 9 runs this year.
