FLAT Racing - Sep 23rd

Sport	Horse Racing
Event	Haydock 2:05
Selection	Robemaker (Each-way)
Strength	1/10
Date	23/09/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Coral @ 8.50
Reasoning	Ran very well in a Class 2 Handicap at Goodwood last time out for 2nd of 13 by 1 length to Paul Cole's Circumvent. The winner had been progressing well in Class 2 Handicaps going into the race and it was a good effort by the selection. The selection was coming off a poor effort over 7f at Newmarket wher he finished 9th of 10. Hampered at the start and ended up being eased in the final furlong. The 7f trip was a bit sharp for him and the 1m today will suit better. He won at 1m on Soft going three runs ago. It was at Yarmouth with those behind him coming from the yards of Prescott, Cumani, E Dunlop, Brittain and Stoute. The drop to a Class 3 looks like a good opportunity to add another victory.

Reasoning	Only 7th of 8 by 4 lengths last time out. That was his debut for trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni and he was not asked much to do. It's good to guess this race is more of his target since it is sponsored by Godolphin. The ground was Good to Soft last time out and he usually does better on quicker ground. He won the Group 1 Dubai Duty Free at Meydan Park in 2010 and that was his last run on Good to Firm. He has four runs on Good to Firm in Britain. 4th of 8, 13th of 24 (2000 Guineas), and 2nd by a head in the Listed Hampton Stakes in 2007 for Sir Michael Stoute. Raced once on that going for Saeed bin Suroor in 2008 and finished 3/4 lengths in 3rd behind Red Rocks. 9-1 (Coral) and as low as 4-1 (William Hill) in the market.
