Took her a while to get off the mark when she finally won a handicap off a mark of 63 at Thirsk over 12 furlongs. She then followed that up with another win which came over this course and distance, this was off a mark of 67. Faced a 5lb rise in the weights for that and headed to Haydock, again over 14 furlongs. Disappointed that day and drops down 1lb in the handicap for todays run. Not sure what went amiss LTO but she did take a keen hold that day and was then outpaced around 3 furlongs out. Should have a better chance today, back at a track shes won at previously and I think the smaller field will help her chances. Back into an all aged handicap today so receives an outstanding 11lb age allowance. 1pt win Cat O Nine Tails @ 4/1 (WillHill - BOG)

16:10 Hamilton Wrote the above about Mark Johnsaton's Cat O' Nine Tails for her race at Musselburgh 6 days ago. She won well that day by 2 and a half lengths and faces a 5lb hike in the weights for that. Still likely to be progressing and the fact Johnston is turning her out again so quickly suggests to me that he is trying to strike again with this horse while the iron is hot so to speak. Runs over a slightly shorter trip today but I wouldn't be too worried by the slight drop in trip. Receives a 9lb age weight allowance today which again could work in her favour as she is well in at the weights for that reason. Ground won't be a problem and Fanning on board again are amongst the other positives for her. 2pt win Cat O' Nine Tails @ 7/2 (VC Bet - BOG)

Re: Flat Racing - Sunday 19th September 2.10 Hamilton Personally feel Saxonette looks a big price in this race, she has improved with every run to date getting her head in front in a lingfield seller on penultimate start, was then bought out of on inform yard to another in Perratt's. She made a decent start on rather tougher terms in another seller up at Musselburgh over 7f for this trainer, and now makes handicap debut off a reasonable mark and useful claimer able to take off a handy 3lb aswell. 0.25pt e/w saxonette 10/1 pp 2.40 Hamilton A weak looking event for a class 3 event, and Little scotland drops back in trip and cheekpieces need to have desired affect second time round and at the price doesnt leave much room so therefore I like the chances of Ming Meng and it is interesting that Bell brings her back to her last time win over CD in a maiden beating a next time out winner by 7 lengths he is rated 53 and he in turn beat a 75 rated horse by nearly 3 lengths so an opening mark of 75 looks extremely lenient and is certainly open to more improvement yet. 2pt win ming meng 5/2 vc 4.10 Hamilton Chookie Hamilton has again changed yards since he was last seen but he shaped much better last time out when 4th of 8, dropped another 2lb in the weights and is now only 2lb above his last turf winning mark and 5lb below his last AW winning mark in November, does go well on turf aswell as AW and wins have come on ground with some cut before. New trainer in the ranks who has already got a winner on the board from 4 runs. 0.25pt e/w chookie hamilton 20/1 hills
