Wednesday 13th June 2012

Three selections for this evening.

 

6.10 Kempton Catchanova 3pts win @ 15/2 (Generally, get guaranteed)

 

Looks well handicapped on her best form and caught the eye at Lingfield on her penultimate run when she finiished really well despite perhaps not receiving the best ride or getting all the luck in running. Her Yarmouth run last time was ok, but she is probably better on this surface and looks a no brainer of a selection in a 0-75 as a triple course and distance winner. It is an apprentice race, and she is drawn a bit wide, so we'll keep the stakes small - having said that she is good value at 15/2+.

 

7.10 Kempton Fast Finian 4pts win @ 5/1 (Generally, get guaranteed) - WON

 

An interesting sprint, not least because Gabbiano runs in it and is entered in first time cheekpieces. It wouldn't be a major surprise to see them improve him but he has looked a bit of a thug, and he is probably best avoided. The two fillies, Boudoir and Dressed In Lace, look genuine enough but Fast Finian caught the eye a couple of times during his juvenile campaign (exclusively raced at Dundalk) and he has been bought in by a trainer who has done with acquisitions from other stables in the past - in particular sprinters. He has been gelded, which might help him focus, and if he is ready to rock I think he can improve and beat this lot.

 

8.50 Hamilton Cosmic Halo 4pts win @ 7/1 (VC Bet, guaranteed, 6/1 generally guaranteed)

 

Third Half looks underpriced here on the basis of his relation to Brown Panther, and District Attorney didn't show much at Kempton last time - he may improve but looks terrible value at 2/1. Richard Fahey's filly Cosmic Halo looks really good value at the prices here. She won a half decent looking Ripon maiden last time out, impressing with her battling attitude and also with the way she travelled. Being by Halling, she should improve for a further step up in trip and the stiff finish here will suit her down to the ground. Shane B Kelly looks a good booking taking 5lb off, and I think the handicapper has been rather kind in alloting an initial rating of 69.


Profit & loss: day: +13.00 / month: +94.81 / year: -196.26
