BBOTD - Monday 25th of February

[robertob]

14.50 Kempton: Amana @ 3/1 Bet365 This 9yo mare looks well ahead of the handicapper at the moment I feel, thanks to her slipping mark after a couple of poor performances. She probably would have taken advantage of her low rating already last week if the race would have been ran a little bit more to suit. She was travelling super well in rear but it soon became clear that it could be a difficult task from this position as the race was ran at a crawl for a long time. And indeed the over the course of the race mostly in second racing Time Square won the race in the end. Amana in contrast had loads to do turning for home and was also locked on the inside almost until approaching the 2f marker. When she got racing room she made stylishly headway, running on in very impressive fashion under a strong hands and heels ride finishing much the best of all to take 2nd place in the end. Only a horse in good shape that is well handicapped would be able to finish a race in that way under these circumstances. It's a big field again tomorrow and it's easy enough to encounter in-running trouble in these sort of field sizes but there is no doubt that she has a couple of pounds in hand and that hopefully is sees her finishing this race on top in the end.

Re: BBOTD - Monday 25th of February 1 of the oldest oldest horses in this apprentice handicap and he's been round the block but can still run good races, its not a race to stick the rent money on but a punter could do worse, and some do. The big chestnut gelding finished with a rattle last time out at Southwell over the mile, he just ran out of road last time so the extra 1f might just see him take home another prize for his owner. Sure to get the trip and if on a going day should run another honest race, DANGER from what i can see could come from the 4yr old Travelling. 4:00pm Wolverhampton - Follow the Flag. 1pt Win Bet @ 5/1 Paddy power ''BOG''
