Looking back briefly to yesterday there was a gritty performance from the filly Allegretto to win the Henry II Stakes and thereby add another Group 2 to her CV, having won the Lancashire Oaks last season. This was another win for the Cheveley Park Stud. Their red and white silks have been seen aboard the likes of Russian Rhythm, Echelon and Cesare in recent times.
From a personal point of view I was pleased to see Eisteddfod take the 7 furlong conditions stakes at Leicester. This was his 10th career win for the Elite Racing Club.
Another Elite Racing Club stalwart is fancied in the Ayr 4.20 tomorrow. Monolith was a winner last time out and conditions look likely to suit him. The main danger looks to be the front running Dr Sharp but hopefully he will set the race up for Monolith to nab the honours close home.
The lightly raced Obstructive has been placed twice at Lingfield from 3 runs at the track and should again go well there in the 2.00.
The Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown looks like being a tight affair. A case could be made for most of them but I will give a tentative vote to Tam Lin. He showed some consistent form last season when trained by Sir Michael Stoute and is now with Godolphin. He is untried on soft ground.
In the 7.50 New Jersey seems to have the best form on offer.
The Temple Stakes looks a tasty sprint with the in form trio of Moss Vale, Firenze and Sierra Vista my shortlist. Narrow preference for Moss Vale.
My best offer at Yarmouth is Moody Tunes in the 3.40.
Bye for now
