Quote from yesterday “Of those with previous experience Oldjoesaid should be better for his debut run at Chepstow when he was 7th of 8. The one they all have to beat though is Sakhee’s Secret.”
Sakhee’s Secret won at 5/3 and Oldjoesaid was 2nd at 25/1.
There are only 2 runners from our list to follow tomorrow, and they are both entered in the 8.15 at Nottingham. Harrison’s Flyer and Meikle Barfil are both trained by sprint specialist Milton Bradley. Harrison’s Flyer has gone 11 runs without a win and now runs off a mark of 67. He has won 3 times off higher ratings so is not badly handicapped at present. Meikle Barfil has really shown no form of note since moving to his current yard.
I have had a look at the two year old races tomorrow. Another True Story looks likely to start favourite in the 2.00 at Brighton. Inflight is a possible alternative at a bigger price for a stable with a good winning percentage at the Sussex track.
Le Masque swerved at the start at Thirsk today and ran no sort of race at the back so it is just possible that he will take up his entry in the 6.30 at Carlisle. He is certainly bred to be a 2 year old and Kevin Darley has the job of keeping him in order.
At Nottingham in the 6.15 Maslak makes some appeal after a 5th at Newmarket in a race that is working out well.
Star Strider and Naayla are my 2 against the field in the Nottingham 7.15. Slight preference is for Star Strider who had all sorts of traffic problems at Goodwood last time in a race won by Just Dust.
See you tomorrow.
