We'll take tomorrow off from a daily racing point of view but keep an eye on e-mails over the weekend, it's all about Royal Ascot from here on in and I expect an ante post selection or two before Tuesday. Plenty of notice will be given as always.
2.20 Sandown Quick Bite 1pt each-way AND 1pt win @ 16/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Just the seven runners here now but I'm happy to take 4/1 on the place bet for this filly to finish in the first two. She represents the in form Hugo Palmer, a trainer who is beginning to get some good horses and his reputation is growing as the weeks pass. This filly was highly tried last year, including when sent to Ireland and sent off just 16/1 for the big sales race won by Seanie. She handles soft and heavy ground very well, and started coming to hand around this time last year. Her run at Windsor last time in a decent handicap entitles her to respect here. She was too keen, the race was muddling, and things didn't pan out her way. Ian Mongan sent her to the front with a quick move coming around the bend and ordinarily I would expect her to fade badly, but to her credit she battled on having been sent slear and finished sixth, beaten 6 1/2 lengths. There was enough in that performance to suggest she can pick up a race like this, the market looks a bit skewed by representatives from the likes of Gosden and Stoute's yard who don't look stars of the stable. She has been dropped 2lb for that run to a mark of OR78, the step back one furlong will suit, ground will suit well, and the stable 7lb claimer, who is improving this year, is value for his allowance. At 16/1, she is overpriced.
Profit & loss: day: -3.00 / month: +79.81 / year: -211.26
