There is a distinct musical flavour to the 4.40 at Hamilton tomorrow. Tangerine Skies of course comes from the Beatles song;
“Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.”
Ride a White Swan was the title of a T Rex hit and Mr Lu might well be a relative of Mr Wu who figured in a George Formby classic – “Oh Mr Wu, what shall I do ….” They don’t write songs like that anymore!
Well, For my selection I am going to ignore the musical connection as I quite fancy Atlantic Beach for this. An unexposed sort he was 3rd at Haydock on his last start and should go close.
Amno Dancer has been the subject of some promising reports ahead of his debut in the Lingfield 2.50. He is not well drawn though so it may be best to adopt a watching brief this time with him.
I have been following Play to Win this season with a total lack of success. I have decided to give him a miss tomorrow in the Lingfield 4.50 – so he will probably win!
The most interesting racing comes from Sandown where the first race is a 2 year old maiden. Classic Colori is one that catches my eye on pedigree and comes from a stable that has first time out winners.
I will go with the in form Invincible Lad in the 6.45 while I give Bravo Echo a chance to redeem himself in the 7.15 after a poor showing on his reappearance at Doncaster when he was well down the field.
Twisted will probably be hard to be beat in the 8.25 where Bourne may be the main danger.
