BBOTD - Weds 11 January

[Haystacks]

Island Legend - 5.15 Kem (1pt win 8-1 LAD BOG) Competitive sprint handicap featuring three last time out winners. However, I'm going to go for one of the other runners. Island Legend won three times over CD from Aug 2010-Apr 2011 and is now only 2lb higher than his last winning mark. Last time out he showed plenty of speed from an outside draw over CD, and he is much better drawn today.

Re: BBOTD - Weds 11 January 5.15 Kempton Volcanic Dust EW @ 10/1 Ladbrokes This horse looked so unlucky over CD a couple of runs ago. He was travelling all over the field but just could not get through. Finished just over a length behind the winner but finished full of running that day and looked like an unlucky loser. His run last time out over 6f can be discounted given this horse is a 5f horse and has never stayed 6f. He was beaten a distance that day but I am happy to forgive him as he also pulled like a train through the first half of that race as they went no pace. Conditions here will suit and there should be plenty of pace on which will help him. His stable mate Island Legend is one that like to front run so he may just set the race up for my selection. This horse was a big eye catcher for me 2 runs ago and I think he will be tough to keep out of the places with a trouble free passage.
