Diary; May 18 2010

 

The steady trickle of winners continued today with Haatheq and Dungannon. One that I annoyingly missed over the weekend was Green Lightning at Newmarket. Mark Johnston’s three year old looked a different proposition with blinkers on for the first time as he kept up a decent gallop under Joe Fanning. The front running tactics were typical of runners from that stable that can be very difficult to pass once they set sail for home. He may improve again especially if he gets his favoured soft ground.

A few brief thoughts on tomorrow. I fancy High Office up at Carlisle in the 7.30.

Marco Botti has a couple of interesting runners at Nottingham. Rainbow Six (2.00) and Excelebration (2.30) are worth considering. In the latter race Liberty Cap is another I like on pedigree. Wuldreda and Yankee Bright catch the eye in the 4.00. The latter could be well handicapped.
