A really good day yesterday with 20.5pts profit thanks to the talented Society Rock, who bounded clear once finding a gap at odds of 9/2. He really is a horse to follow and is in the right hands.
Two small interests for today on a poor day's racing.
2.10 Folkstone Lady Of Garmorgan 2pts win @ 8/1 (Paddy Powers, guaranteed)
Represents Paul Cole who has been in very good form so far this year. Loads of his horses are running into places and he is getting the odd winner too, after a tough time of it last season. The selection ran in that maiden we recently highlighted as working out well, contested by recent NR who we had supported, Starclass. The daughter of U.S. sprinter Mr. Greeley showed bright speed from the stalls and led a group of very decent horses until around the 2f pole, when she faded out of contention. The drop back from seven to five furlongs is interesting, given the speed elements in her pedigree. She must be showing that same speed on the gallops to warrant such a move on only her second start, they would not be messing around with such an expensive purchase to get a handicap mark - she cost $235,000 dollars and they'll want a win from her for the paddocks at least. The opposition today have loads of question marks about them, and if the selection appreciates the fast ground as her U.S. pedigree suggests, she can leave her debut running behind and put this lot to the sword.
5.30 Brighton Djalalabad 1pt each-way @ 40/1 (VC Bet, guaranteed)
An old favourite horse of mine who went in for me at a price one night at Wolves. I found it very interesting that Jeff Pearce took her on and have kept tabs on her progress since. Jeff does really well with mares and on both her starts for him, she has raced with far more enthusiasm than she had done for Christine Dunnett, who hasn't been in the best of form for the past year. I think she will pick up a race sooner rather than later and her latest run at Kempton was very interesting, she kept tabs with much higher rated horses until the two furlong pole. Dropped back to six furlongs today, she will get a strong pace to run and and should be bounding up the hill near the finish - if she doesn't bag a little race like this on the turf soon, she'll win one on the all weather. 40/1 each-way is too big to resist.
