Flat Racing 12th July

3.25 Warwick Fingers crossed this fixture gets the go ahead, so will keep it brief just incase it doesnt. Barons Spy is a decent sort that knows how to win, won last time out over this course in a weaker race this looks stronger and top weight in desperate ground perhaps too much rather than the 2lb rise in the handicap. Prime Exhibit appeared to struggle to get through the mud at Newcastle recently similar story likely here for all he does look well treated and likes some cut. Perfect Pastime regained winning thread last time out, and although that was on soft ground best form has been on fast ground prior to that and has always struggle off marks in the high 70's low 80's. We Have A Dream has dropped to a tempting mark but has been badly out of sorts recently and not one to trust at the moment. Bella Ophelia needs to bounce back from an awful run last time out and isnt totally ruled out but handicapper perhaps catching up with her! A chance is taken on Mister Musicmaster, who showed a glimmer of hope when 4th at Windsor 3 starts back when staying on well, not quite so good next time out back over 6f and completely forget last time out when involved in a false start and probably went the furthest of all the runners. He has now dropped to his last winning mark and creeps into this handicap off bottom weight which may be key in this bottomless ground with the yard in reasonable form. 2pt e/w Mister Musicmaster 11/1 pp 3.45 Doncaster Interesting handicap with several of these coming into this in some good form. No Poppy is consistent and does know how to win but also a very good bridesmaid at times, also never won over a mile and 6lb rise leaves her needing more at this trip. Arifya is consistent but another bridesmaid, winning once from 6 starts and finishing runner up all other starts, up 3lb for latest win 2nd and looks to need further although testing ground may off set that. Shes A Character acts in the mud and does appear to go well here 3 from 4, although 2nd last time out was still well beaten and isnt a reliable sort. Act Your Shoe Size scraped home last time out but a 6lb rise leaves her looking vunerable. For me Negin was the most impressive last time out out of these, I was at Newmarket that day and she looked a nice sort and although an 8lb rise might look harsh on the face of it but that was a strong race and it was only her 2nd handicap start and she could well be open to a lot more improvement yet with testing ground clearly to suit. 2pt win Negin 7/2 bet365 5.25 Doncaster This looks a really weak handicap on the face of it lacking much depth what so ever. Red Trump looks a risky favourite in my opinion, raced solely on the AW to date winning weak looking maiden last time out which really has worked out, of course open to improvement but has to prove in same form after break now trying turf for the first time and on desperate ground aswell so couldnt touch him at 10/3! Dr Red Eye couldnt have been more impressive last time out bolting clear in soft conditions at Catterick under De Sousa who rides again, a more possitive ride on 7f appears to be the key to him as he clearly lacks a change of gear but has the stamina to see this out in these conditions and if in the same mood a 6lb penalty wont be enough if the cheekpieces have the same effect today. The other that might be interesting in a weak race is Anton Chigurh who caught the eye last time out at Yarmouth making some ground up late on, that was only his 5th start and had previously shown better form on handicap debut on soft ground at Ponte over 6f staying on looking in need of further. So the soft ground and 7f may provide him with some improvement and cant be ruled out completely. 2pt win Dr Red Eye 4/1 bet365 1pt e/w Anton Chigurh 12/1 bet365

Re: Flat Racing 12th July 1:20 Newmarket: Rewarded 1pt win 9/2 Ladbrokes Rewarded brings some decent Group form from Royal Ascot to the table and he could well improve again. By Motivator the extra three furlongs should suit and the going won't be a problem. The form at the Royal meeting usually holds up and Rewarded looks a little value in this small field.
