Brighton 4th July

[chris34]

4.00 Brighton Lady florence won this race last year but off a 7lb lower mark and although shaped much better on last start on flat she was perhaps a little flattered by the opposition she opposed that day, not that todays is much better but there is presence of other front runners. Mr Harmoosh looks one of the more progressive ones in the field having won off a mark of 59 4 starts ago and been placed 2nd last 2 races of todays mark, making late headway but often far too late, Sanders loks a better booking today and hopefully more can be expected. 0.5pt win mr harmoosh 9/2 sj 4.30 Brighton Ocean Counttess and Patavium meet on same terms when they were a neck second and third, but that day Ocean counttess met a troubled passage and could find it quite easy to turn that form aroundif getting a clearer passage, has a fantastic record over CD and also under Cathy and I am unconvinced the handicapper has got her yet. 0.5pt win ocean counttess 4/1 sj

Re: Brighton 4th July 5.00 Brighton - Commandingpresence - 6/1 Bet365 0 wins from 32 starts isnt an appealing fact with this one and not one that i would normally back. However, she's still very lightly raced over this trip and on turf. Dropped to 5f three starts ago she was third, 3 lengths behind Avrilo who has won twice and placed 3 times since. After a go at 6f she was dropped back to 5f lto in a class 5 handicap and was only 1 1/2 lengths behind the winner with a few decent horses for that standard in and around her. That run was over good to firm so should act on the ground today. She's off a lower mark than her 2 runs over 5f with the 5lb claim included. In her 2 starts over 5f she was held up once and tracked the leaders the other so can be versatile with tactics.
