BBOTD - Friday 31st May

[robertob]

15.20 Epsom: Hefner @ 8/1 Boylesports I thought Hefner ran a huge race at Chester recently. He had the 2nd widest draw to overcome, had to settle in rear of the field, what is never an advantage at this track. He struggled with the pace from 4f out but kept going and made loads of ground on the outside finishing very strongly in the closing stages and landed even the 3rd place eventually. I thought that day, at a different track, with a better draw and a further trip he'd be very dangerous. He looks to have improved from 3 to 4 again and now trained by Botti he has every chance to be well capable of winning of his current mark. He's well drawn tomorrow and the 9f trip should be in his favour, so even in this competitive looking race I feel he has an excellent chance.

Re: BBOTD - Friday 31st May 4pm OAKS Secret Gesture. 9/4 hills coral most firms bog I have been touting Secret Gesture for some time now, and we will find out tommorow. Everything is in her favor as far as i see, and she may even dictate what's going on up front as there is no obvious pace in the race, but i do think Jim Crowley will quicken it up coming down the hill to stretch them in behind, and choose were he wants to go in the straight. And the more i look the more i think she will be a cut above these fillies tomorrow, and if you look deep she has form lines with Just the Judge and Banoffee, and IMO she holds them well. GL whatever you pick, but a serious NAP for me.
