Flat Racing > Friday June 13th

[Aidymac]

York 3:40 David O'Meara has three entered in this very competitive handicap but Alejandro owes me money and I am willing to give him another chance here, he is a horse that is more than capable of winning this. He won on good ground at Musselburgh last year and I thought he ran a very good race on ground he doesn't really enjoy at Catterick last time out, finishing 4th behind Conry. The ground will be better tomorrow, Silvestre De Sousa is booked to ride and I think he can go really well at a tasty price. Alejandro WIN @ 14/1 Bet365

Re: Flat Racing > Friday June 13th 3.25 Musselburgh Not a bad handicap and fairly wide open with many of these in with a chance. Best Of Order won on heavy ground first time up this season, just a fair effort off revised mark. Blinkers back on today after not being on for last 2 runs but has something to prove on this sort of ground with it likely to dry up further. Newstead Abbey has proved largely consistent this spring but is still 11lb above last winning mark although was a neck second off a 1lb lower than todays so isn’t completely out of it although handicapper looking in charge at present. Laffan is another that looks held by the handicapper at present and has little room for error. Tellovoi appears to have gone off the boil of late. Heavy Metal has quickly gone back into his shell after his win at Brighton in a 4 runner event and has long been one to avoid. Silver Rime has been soundly beaten in 3 starts this season. Majestic Moon was a beaten favourite last time out, ran his race without looking a next time out winner. Just Paul looks a big price with him taken to bounce back from a poor effort last time out. He scored comfortably over this CD on penultimate start off a mark of 76, never fired last time off revised mark of 81. Runs off that mark again today but has the very useful Haynes on board claiming 5lb off. Can boast a strong record around here 3 from 4 around here and only loss around here was a 2^nd. 2pt win Just Paul 11/2 bet365 7.15 Chepstow Not a great race with most of these exposed as poor these days. Oratorios Joy hasn’t showed much recently but has now dropped to last winning mark but overall profile is somewhat patchy. Another with a rather patchy record is Sweet Martoni won on penultimate start over this CD on soft ground, quickly held last time out at Lingfield and needs to bounce back quickly on a return to here. Tenbridge didn’t run too badly last time out and has a good record around here with 2 wins from 6 around here. He’s dropped to 3lb below last winning mark but latest run doesn’t suggest a step up in trip is an obvious move to get back in front. Raamz remains a maiden after 16 starts but couple of better efforts recently and latest effort was a big improvement that was at Hamilton and in a lesser race than this so with a 4lb rise and better race he might face a struggle again. Zed Candy Girl had previously looked very limited but scored off basement mark at Wolves and again last time out at Bath. She scored nicely last time out on first run for this yard so could have more to offer but an 8lb rise looks extremely harsh and cheekpieces left off this time aswell. Lady Guinevere remain a maiden after just 6 runs, she is clearly not entirely straightforward but yet to run an awful race. Totally messed that start up last time out when favourite probably had to do too much too get to the front before fading out of it. Well worth another chance in handicap company off same mark and also dropping back ever so slightly in trip. 2pt win Lady Guinevere 3/1 bet365
