Flat Racing Wednesday 25th April (Catterick, Epsom & Kempton)

[chris34]

3.55 Epsom The turf season has come to a bit of a wet spell and certainly dampers my enthusiasm at this time of year given horses come here fresh and on testing ground results can be a little hard to predict. A chance is taken on Resurge who's course form sticks out like a sore thumb in this field with 3 wins from 6 starts and the other 3 have resulted in a 5th and 2 2nds. Failed to show much at back end of last year but tumbled in the handicap to 4lb below last winning mark over CD and was 2nd in this same race last year of a 1lb higher mark and ground no concern having won on soft ground here in the past he should go very well with the stable making a very good start to the season! 1pt e/w Resurge 7/1 pp

Re: Flat Racing Wednesday 25th April (Catterick, Epsom & Kempton) i do like the epsom meetings and you need decent balance on this camber track. In the sprint 2.15 race, FAthom five attempts to win this for the 3rd time on 4 years but wil be unsuited by the soft ground and more rain is forecast. Look out for PERFECT PASTIME at a decent price to run well from stall 10. Low numbers normally favoured however the softer ground may cause this to change and this one looks overpriced to me and trainer had a dec3ent priced winner at Windsor last night also 17.0 taken on Betfair
