Flat Racing Sunday 5th of August

[Aidymac]

*Rose Season - Chester 4:45* Roger Varian has a terrific strike-rate, 469 runners, 89 winners, profit of +£57.91 to level stakes. So a Varian horse at a biggish price should always be looked at. This horse is a maiden after 4 runs, but has performed with credit on 2 of those, and is related to Mores Wells and Galient, a good family line. The horse always travels well, traded very low in running on its last 3 runs, all it needs is a better turn of foot, and it will have its win. Neil Callan has a super record for Varian also. 41 winners producing a profit of +£42.07 to level stakes. *1 Point WIN @ 9/1 Hills BOG*

Re: Flat Racing Sunday 5th of August 2:40 Deauville Wizz Kid 1.5pt EW - 8/1 (Betvictor) Moonlight Cloud put up an impressive performance in this race last year and has since backed that up with top efforts elsewhere, most notably the Diamond Jubilee when second to Black Caviar. I think she can be taken on at even money however, and Wizz Kid offers value at 8/1. She's only ever won over 5f but does shape as if she'll get further. Had a luckless Royal Ascot but has some notable form in the book when finishing second to Deacon Blues on Champions Day last year (Moonlight Cloud in 5th). It's difficult to see this high-class filly not making the frame in this field unless she doesn't stay which is why I'm playing each-way. 3:05 Chester Ponty Acclaim 1pt win - 7/1 (Bet365) This improving 3yo shouldn't be 7/1 against this opposition in receipt of a lot of weight. He started the season off well behind Pearl Secret and ahead of Caledonia Lady but has looked a little outpaced since. I thought one of his best runs last season was when he finished 6th to Bogart on the wrong side of the track over six furlongs. He goes back over that trip tomorrow and I think he'll continue to improve.
