BBOTD - Friday 28th June

[robertob]

14.50 Yarmouth: Floralys @ 5/1 bet365 Still a maiden after 11 races but was massively eye-catching at Lingfield recently. Floralys got badly outpaced early on in rear of the field and was- never travelling. She looked to go absolutely nowhere even approaching the 1f marker, but then she found her stride, forced her way through a tiny gap 1/2f out and finished full of running and a fantastic 4th on the line. There is no doubt that she's crying out for a step up in trip and thankfully she gets her chance over 1m tomorrow at Yarmouth. Her mark looks low enough, the additional 1lb compared to last time won't make any difference and Jamie Spencer is booked which speaks for itself. The race looks not overly strong and Floralys should run a big race really

Re: BBOTD - Friday 28th June 9.10 Newmarket - Gladiatrix 5/1 Bet365 BOG Probably not my smartest move in going up against a strong favourite who has beaten my selection the last two times they have met, but on both of them occasions I think Gladiatrix drew the unlucky straw and hopefully tomorrow it will be the other way around. At Sandown she was a very close 3rd when drawn horribly in stall 13. She tucked herself behind the main pack before challenging down the wide outside whereas the favourite got a nice run up the inside rail just behind the eventual 2nd before coming through late on. Then LTO both horses started making their moves at the same time and where as both the 1st & 2nd got a clear run out wide, Millman's filly was picking up nicely before getting severly hampered as her jockey tried to get through a gap, at which point it was race over. The jolly does come out on top of my ratings but with a clear run I can see Gladiatrix going very close tomorrow.
