Diary: October 4 2007

Hora kept the flag flying for our horses to follow this afternoon with a win up at Newcastle at the surprisingly generous price of 3/1.  Her trainer’s record with 3 year olds over distances in excess of 14 furlongs is pretty well known and I expected her to be a much shorter price.  She must be fancied to follow up some time in the next week.

As usual tonight I will concentrate on the prospects of the runners from our list to follow.

Rock Anthem runs in the 4.40 at Goodwood.  In his favour he is a course winner which often counts for a lot on the Sussex track. He has not done enough in 3 subsequent runs to persuade me to tip him however.

Composing returns to Kempton for the 9.20 after finishing 2nd there over the same 2 mile trip 19 days ago.  Should go well.

When running over a mile at Newmarket on good ground Plum Pudding has a 100% record from 3 starts.  He has to be given a chance on the 2.35 there tomorrow.

Lion Sands and Sagredo represent our list to follow in the listed race at 3.45.  Lion Sands has been running well enough in Group company to suggest this is within his compass.

Tax Free has been one of our most successful list horses this season with 4 wins.  He has a good record at Newmarket, goes there on the back of a win in France and looks sure to run well in the 4.20.

Our last runner to mention is Duty Free who runs in the 5.30 at Newmarket.  He stays well and has been performing consistently.  We  can probably ignore his last run over 12 furlongs as he seems to want further so I am prepared to give him an each way chance at value odds of 12/1.
