BBOTD - Thursday 16th May

14.00 Salisbury: Contradict @ 16/1 Coral Thought this filly ran a huge race lto on handicap debut and seasonal reappearance. She travelled nicely in rear, switched to the inside over 3f out proved fatal though as she didn't get a clear run there and was also bumped on a few occasions. Despite all the trouble she finished a nice 3rd eventually and no doubt she would have gone much closer with clearer run. She is nicely bred by top class US miler and out of a multiple Group winning mare. She's overpriced here I think.

Re: BBOTD - Thursday 16th May York 1.45 - Magical Macey 14/1 EW Corals BOG This horse looked on the upgrade last season contesting some decent races along the way. The selection has ran some of the quickest (and most reliable) times in the field and whilst I dont normally like to back a horse without a run, this horse has a good record fresh and has a very shrewd trainer (especially shrewd with sprinters). The draw looks ok and the ground should have enough juice in it for him.
