BBOTD Thursday 8th August

[Blazing Bailey]

Brighton 3.50 - Presburg 12/1 William Hill EW BOG I really cant see why this one is such a big price and its interesting to see that it is much shorter with other firms. The form of his last 3 runs have been very good. Firstly on this track he beat Highland Duke by powering home at the finish and the 2nd has gone on to run really well since, winning the apprentice race at Glorious Goodwood. The 3rd who was 4l back has also ran well since. he has since ran twice at Sandown, the first he was continually hampered and never able to hit top gear meaning he did well to finish 1 1/2l behind the winner (again the form is good) and then on his most recent run he missed the break and again ran on when all the main players race up with the pace. The step up in trip looks set to suit and providing he does, his current price very much underestimates his chances.

Re: BBOTD Thursday 8th August 3.10 Haydock - Whispering Lady 1pt win @ 8/1 Bet365 She is a bit of a nutter, which is a worry but if she can channel all of her energy into racing, then she could go well here. She won well on debut at Lingfield but has since followed that with a couple of indifferent runs. She was reluctant to enter the stalls at Kempton and finished well beaten but it was a hot race. Last time out at Goodwood she did remarkably well to finish just 3 lengths behind the winner in what was a similar standard race to this one. She almost pulled herself up coming out of the stalls and went violently left so she did unbelievably well to finish as close as she did. That run makes me believe there is a good run in her if she can stamp her wayward tendencies out. Trainer remains in decent heart and does well here. Philip Makin taking over from a claimer could also make a difference.
