Chester - Thursday 6/5/10

[fintron]

1.45 Chester I was impressed with LECEILE last season when she almost landed a hat-trick but was narrowly beaten by Nashmiah at Goodwood. She had Alsace Lorraine back in fourth that day and that rival came out of the race and ran superbly at Ascot subsequently. Although Leceile makes her seasonal reappearance I think her price more than accounts for that and with proven stamina over 1m 2f I think she can go well from the front tomorrow. 13/2 Stan James, EW 2.15 Chester SOUTH EASTER won over this course and distance last season and William Haggas' colt has only raced twice since. He didnt quite see out one and a half miles when running in The King Edward Stakes at Ascot, but bounced back with a bang in the listed Magnolia Stakes at Kempton in March when back over shorter. The form of that race is starting to have a nice look to it as the second, fourth and sixth have all come out of the race and produced very respectable efforts subsequently - Honimiere especially who ran Strawberrydaiguiri really close in a Group 3 at Newmarket this weekend just gone. I think he is improving nicely and can come out on top here under Johnny Murtagh. 4/1 Bet 365

Re: Chester - Thursday 6/5/10 lets look at todays results for some inspiration 145 (5f) 5-3-1 (7 ran) Winner made all 12/1 215 (11f) 6-4-3 (7 ran) Tracked leader, 5/2 2nd horse made the running 245 (19f) 5-16-6 (17 ran) Tracked leaders, 7/1 Top 4 all in touch 315 (5f) 3-7-6 (13 ran) Winner made all, 9/1 Top 3 all prominent 400 (12f) 3-8-1 (7 ran) Winner made all, 5/2 435 (10f) 2-8-5 (7 ran) Held up, 7/1 2nd horse led So, we must look at the track here and its difficult for any hold up horses to win here even in small fields. The prices were good today for the winners and looking at the stall numbers of the winners we have 5,6,5,3,3,2 so for me nothing over stall 6 is worth a shout due to the track unless it has a decent break from the stalls. Just some pointers :ok on a specialist track
