Flat Racing - Tues 7th May

[Lars]

I wasn't going to have a bet today as the racing is very poor but one caught my eye at Yarmouth in the 3yo Handicap. Laudation showed ability in sprint maidens and also when upped to 7f but hasn't madethe transition to handicaps successfully. However, I'm expecting better now switched to a straight track and back down in trip, heought to go well under an extremely talented young rider. Laudation has a decent sprint pedigree, related to many winners at the trip and that pedigree would suggest he would continue to improve with racing.He was sent off favourite on handicap debut 53 days ago, when running over 7f and he never really went a yard that day, but his prominencein the market suggested that connections believed that his mark is a workable one. Not seen since, it may mean that a problem has beenfound and it is to be hoped that the break will have freshened him up. Although today's handicap is a fair one, Laudation will be suited by the straight track more so than Lingfield, especially as he cantake a while to get going, and I don't think the bend at the all-weather venue where he has previously done all his racing suitsideally. Although there's a few here from fashionable yards, William Jarvis has a good record with his 3yo's in recent seasons, running at17% , accounting for 6/8 of his course successes in the past five seasons. Robert Tart takes off 5lbs and although his skills are wellpublicised by now, there's still plenty of milage in following him.Off effectively a rating of 63, Laudation should go really well especially as he had hinted in a couple of his maidens that he couldgo on to be a horse rated much higher. Tuesday's Selection 16:20 Yarmouth– Laudation; 1pt @ 12/1 Coral, Stan James Take Best Odds Guaranteed

Re: Flat Racing - Tues 7th May 2.50 Yarmouth Christine Dunnett holds a strong hand here with 3 runners and 2 of them are more than capable of winning here in Danzoe and Speedyfix who has been in good form recently but creeping up the weights without winning recently and now requires just about a career best effort. I am gonna take a chance on Beauty Pageant who has yet again changed hands and returned to Brown who appeared to get her to run a good race on the AW before being switched to Evans yard. She has been rather more miss than hit on the AW since but has been given a massive chance by the handicapper now 17lb below last winning mark and a return to 5f under fast conditions ideal and would be no surprise to see her go well. 2pt win Beauty Pageant 4/1 bet365 7.10 Catterick Llewellyn is hugely consistent but finds winning these days extremely hard and he remains yet to win in a handicap in his career and therefore has to be opposable. Snow Bay looks the safer option he has ran 2 great races this season thus far building on his reappearance last time out when bolting up by nearly 3 lengths. Although a 7lb rise looks harsh on the face of it he is still chucked in at his best having previously won off a mark of 87 and runs off 80 today, Teasedale keeps the ride and well drawn again. Although the win came on good ground he is versatile as far as ground goes having won on good to firm and also good to soft so ground cannot be used as an excuse. 2pt win Snow Bay 5/2 vc
