Chester - Friday 25th of June.

[Monterosso]

8:50 Chester - Straversjoy - 1pt Caught my eye last time out when coming 5th behind Captain John Nixon who has went on to win since. Ran into trouble a few times that day and looked like she would of been alot closer if he wasn't short for room. Related to many winners over similar distances to this 10 furlongs and looks to have a sound mix of speed and stamina. Should come on for that last run and prove even better for it, Has to run here from 4lbs out of the weights but with jockey Paul Pickards 5lb claim she'll only be carrying a bottom weight of 7st 9lbs. Well drawn and likely to enjoy the quicker ground. Forecast price of around 16/1 would be nice but I doubt she'll be near that. She could have a decent chance if coming on from her last run and not running into trouble, But it's another tentative one.

Re: Chester - Friday 25th of June. 8.20 Chester There doesn't appear to be anything too progressive in the line up here and it may pay to side with OPUS MAXIMUS, who is holding his form well for Mark Johnston. He could be a force at this level and looks to have a win in him off this sort of mark - only 2 lbs higher than when scoring at Ffos Las in May. He has ran well on several previous visits to the track and his latest effort, when beaten into third at Ayr, can be best overlooked as he was not suited with the way the race unfolded. Drawn centrally, Joe Fanning has options from stall 8 on fast ground that will suit. 7/1 Bet 365
