I only managed one winning selection today and that was the very impressive filly Maqaasid, a winner at Sandown on her racecourse debut. Another noteworthy performance was that of Dvinski at Salisbury. Something of a standing dish on this site his win at Salisbury was the 15th of his career. The 9 year old has done most of his winning on the all weather with 11 victories on an artificial surface, 7 of them at Kempton. He must be a super horse to own.
There are plenty of meetings to go at tomorrow and I will tackle them in alphabetical order.
For those of you that like to back horses with interesting names you could try Cereal Killer in the 2.40 at Chepstow. He is out of a mare called Snap Crackle Popp so is quite amusingly named. He has a chance as well! Recent Wolverhampton winner Captain Carey would have a chance in the 3.10.
I had Lileo down as a horse to follow this season after a promising run when trained by Luca Cumani. He is now with a trainer I know very little about so I am a bit wary about going overboard about his chances. He goes in the 3.40, is very well bred and Hayley Turner has the ride. The 4.10 looks to be between Cairnsmore and Mubuya.
In the 8.30 at Haydock Tuscan Gold looks a typical 3 year old improver from a very canny stable and is sure to appreciate the trip.
At Yarmouth I am keen on the chances of Wake up Call (2.30) and Aestival (5.00).

Good luck if you are having a bet.
