Diary: February 18 2009

 

I only have time for a quick update this evening.

I see that Quickbeam runs in the Doncaster 2.10 tomorrow. He has had problems with his jumping but at least put in a clear round on his last start.  With the stable of Venetia Williams in such good from I am hoping for a decent run from him.

Gee Dee Nen was a promising 2nd to Honest John at Catterick last month and gets the selection in the 3.00 at Ludlow.  Next best is Putney Bridge a dual bumper winner trained by Peter Bowen.

In the 3.35 I fancy the two top weights Working Title and King’s Revenge.  Working Title’s last run was when he finished 3rd behind Lough Derg at Ascot with subsequent winner Serabad back in 65th.  That form looks strong and he is the selection.

I have a couple of selections at Punchestown.  Quevega hasn’t run since June when 3rd in a Grade 1 hurdle at Auteil. Hurricane Fly was 2nd in that race and the form looks solid.  Quevega goes in the 2.55 tomorrow.

My other fancy is Sports line in the 3.30. He may have been an unlucky loser at Cork last month.
