Diary: August 12 2010

Another rather ordinary days racing tomorrow.

At Goodwood the 3 year olds Spoken and Botanist make most appeal in the 7.35. Spoken is going for a hat trick of wins. He is not surprisingly going up in the weights but may still be ahead of the handicapper. Botanist ran three times last season ending with a win at Leicester. He is lightly raced and is another potential improver. Spoken is the selection.

Botanist is trained by Sir Michael Stoute as is Warm Memories who runs in the 3.05 at Salisbury. Warm Memories is a half brother to Doctor Freemantle and although his form to date is moderate he may be capable of better.

Fair Trade is my each way selection in the 4.15 while in the 5.20 I fancy Lombok who was only beaten a short head at Brighton 6days ago.

Brian Meehan’s Field Day looks to have a solid chance in the 5.05 at Deauville.

My thanks to the artist Karen Davies for today’s picture.
