Bab Al Salam comes into the 5.20 at Bath tomorrow with a 100% record and is worth following in that sort of form.
They race at Ffos Las again tomorrow. The names of horses always interest me and I was taken with John Hills’ filly Sandie Shaw that runs in the 2.10 at the Welsh track. The filly is by Footstepsinthesand out of a mare called Susi Wong. Quite clever really.
Loden didn’t show a lot on his debut at Newmarket over 7 furlongs but has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and should do better over a mile tomorrow in the 2.45.
Ruthie Babe has shown bits of promise in maidens and now makes her handicap debut in the 3.20.
Petrovski won 3 times on the all weather in the winter and was then only beaten half a length by the progressive Chiberta King in May at Newmarket. A handicap mark of 90 might just under estimate his ability in the 3.55.
The lightly raced Paisley comes from a family I have followed for some years and looks the one to beat in the 4.30.
3 year olds have done well in the past in the Goodwood 1.30 and Alicante can continue the trend.
Casual Garcia is slipping down the weights and has a chance in the 4.20. However he may have to give best to another horse that has come down to a winnable mark, Wicked Daze. He won off a mark of 92 last season and has now come down to 78.
Selections at The Curragh; Vocalised (2.45), Rayeni, danger Border Patrol (4.15).
Benbaun runs in the 1.35 at Longchamp. He is a course and distance winner and put up a wonderful effort when runner up in the Nunthorpe. He is an 8 year old but certainly no back number and he is up to winning this.
I am hoping that John Gosden’s consistent Dar Re Mi can upset the French favourite in the 2.40.
