Ffos Las ~ 18th June

[BillyHills]

A new track opens today in Sth Wales, good luck to all involved, a great achievement in these times, thought it deserves a thread so copied my 'Novice Hurdle' ramblings for today, three races to look at; 620 Flos Las 95 Ffos Las Diamond, 93 Frankly Flora, 92 Ballyvesey An Irish import in Plunkett is the odd ball here, could easily be good enough but hard to translate his form, makes his debut for Evan Williams, he would love to have the first winner here so you would have to think he has a chance. Also a very apt winner would be Ffos Lass Diamond, beat the unreliable Fistral Beach last time but the form is ok. Ballyvesey took his time to get the hang of things on his debut and will be much wiser this time and could run well at a price. 6.50 Flos Las 90 Dantari, 89 Cootehill, 88 Another Bottle Interesting turn out here with no less than 6 winners in the field, Irish horse Turf War is the fav but with 11.12 to carry i'm not that sure about him. Cootehill won very well last time and looks to be still improving while Dantari has the form in the book to go close. 920 Flos Las 86 Key Regard, 86 Minder, 64 Graysland A 3yo novice race and all those with hurdle form ran in the Stratford race won by Rupestrian, Minder beat Key Regard by a sht hd that day but Key Regard was the better on the flat and found Stratford a bit sharp wheras Minder looked as thought the trip was a problem, Key Regard should come out on top this time with conditions and track much more suitable. Bets; 920 Ffos Las: Key Regard 4pts (6/4 Skybet) 620 Ffos Las: Ballyvesey 0.5pts EW (33/1 Sportingbet) 650 Ffos Las: Cootehill 2pts EW (13/2 PP BOG) 650 Flos Las: Dantari 1pt (13/2 StanJames BOG)
