Diary: May 25 2008

 

Not a vintage day for me on the tipping front, after Another Decree obliged late on Friday at 16/1. I did have Fleeting Spirit in the big sprint at Haydock though.

Staying with the sprinters but at a rather lower level there is a competitive handicap at Newmarket tomorrow at 4.05. Phantom Whisper will love the ground but has reserved his best from for Windsor. Beaver Patrol is a course and distance winner, goes on the ground and the stable have been in form. Baby Strange has gone up 5 lb for his win at Newbury but at the weights may have a bit to find with Cape who beat him by a neck at Doncaster last month. Firm ground is not certain to suit either of these though but Premio Loco will be quite at home on it. He tackles 6 furlongs for the first time here but his form last season looks very solid and I would just give him the edge. He certainly hasn’t looked devoid of speed in his runs over longer trips.
