Flat Racing Monday 17th June

7.50 Warwick Gallipot 7/2 BetVictor Runner up in the Irish and English Oaks last year in addition to Royal Ascot in the Ribbelsdale, Shirocco Star now has her chance dropped to listed company. Should come on for her debut run over an unsuitable trip at Newmarket but was very disappointing that day in any event. But Gallipot who started life in handicaps last year never stopped improving. She was runner up in the Group 2 Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster before winning in this grade at Newmarket. Should come on for her slightly disappointing run at Newbury last month where she clearly wasn't fit but it did take her a few runs last year to hit top form. In a 50/50 race I feel that Gallipot has more scope than Shirocco Star and hope that she can continue to progress this year. 5 points win Gallipot 7/2 BetVictor.

Re: Flat Racing Monday 17th June 2.30 Kempton This isn’t a particularly strong race and several of these look out of form at present and it may be worth sticking with a course specialist. Buateior has plummeted in the weights but has been disappointing in sellers and claimers recently and has a lot to prove on the back of that. Tyrur Ted got back to winning ways last time out and receives only a 1lb rise back on the AW but he can be very all or nothing and also worth noting his form has come round Wolverhampton and looks plenty short enough for me. Time Square is running to a similar level on recent starts but handicapper is looking in charge at present now 8lb above last winning mark. Having A Ball is not easy to win with but he is more than capable of winning a race like this around here, he will need a decent pace to chase and the gaps to appear but he has held his form well this year on the AW and backed it up with a good effort on turf last time out, he has dropped to 1lb above his last winning mark and should continue to run well. 1pt e/w Having A Ball 8/1 pp
