Today's post is written on the hoof so it won't be as detailed as per usual but try to cover a few more races.
2:20 Leicester
Intimidate has been knocking on the door. Noseda has a fine record at this course with his juveniles and it will take a decent horse to beat this son of Royal Applause. There doesn't look much meat on the bone at less than 6/4. Probably a watching brief unless drifts in the betting.
2:30 Redcar
A crazy-looking handicap. My brother has taken a speculative punt on Oh Boy Oh Boy (monster odds). Difficult one to assess to be fair but Moffatt's horse is quite a good-looking juvenile and this step up to 7f will be a positive. At this weight, with an apprentice on his back, this gelding could show ability today. Personally, I have a feeling Annie Gogh could finally hit the mark. She showed good pace when running over 7f for the first time at Thirsk and was pretty keen which made that a fair effort. If settling a little better she may just lead these a merry dance. I'm pretty sure Fentimen will hit the front so most likely a back to lay.
2:50 Leicester
Can't say I'm a big fan of Selling races but Sojoum has gone close in a few races and Channon does well at this grade. One of these days she will get her head in front. A fighting chance.
3:00 Redcar
A restricted auction race. Millie N Aire seemed all speed a few runs back but on a couple of later efforts looks to have been struggling to go the pace. Not sure what's going on with that one but if returning to her speedy self has a chance. Why So Fast hasn't had an ounce of luck in her races but she is a good-looking filly. David O'Meara takes over from Stuart William's and I would imagine a bold show will be on the cards. If substantially backed it would be a confident sign. We haven't seen the best of this daughter of Kodiac.
3:50 Leicester
Another trainer who fires them up at this course is Sir Michael Stoute. Centred ran well on debut and this step up in distance will suit. A big run is expected in what could be a good day for Buik.
Best bets:
2:20 Leicester - Intimidate
2:30 Redcar - Annie Gogh
3:50 Leicester - Centred
