Diary: July 29 2011

 

Our good run continues with 2 wins from 4 selections, at 4/1 and 11/2.

I started off with a list of 3 for the 2.00 at Goodwood tomorrow. Distant Memories will not have his ideal conditions which leaves Redwood and Harris Tweed. It is tempting to go for the latter with his trainer in such good form lately but the fact that Redwood has won at Goodwood before, this race last year in fact, just sways me in his favour. He should also like the drying ground.

The lightly raced Western Aristocrat was finishing well when third to subsequent winner Strong Suit on his last start and the extra furlong of the 2.35 should be in his favour. He handles the ground and looks to have a good chance. He is the selection.

I have been following Sagramor this season with some success and I will stick with him in the 3.10 although Green Destiny is clearly a threat.

I have a couple of selections away from Goodwood, Avon Lady in the 7.30 at Newmarket and Spinatrix in the 5.45 up at Thirsk.
