3.00 Catterick
Street Boss 1.5pts each-way @ 12/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Patisserie 1.5pts each-way @ 18/1 (Bet 365, Coral, guaranteed, 16/1 generally guaranteed)
Seven runner maidens have their advantages in that we get paid 1/4 odds on each-way bets and that might play into our hands here. I don't fancy the second favourite Regiment here at all, he might well improve out of all recognition for his first run but I wasn't really impressed by him physically and it is also worth noting Richard Fahey has gone around thirty runners without a winner by my rough calculations. Oriental Relation should win on the figures, but although there was promise on his debut, he didn't really pass horses or get involved in the finish in any way and the same can be said of his Royal Ascot run although that was in exalted company compared to this race. We've also has success just lately opposing Royal Ascot juveniles and we can play two horses each-way here and save our entire stake if one of them is placed.
Street Boos is a fine looking grey from Tim Easterby's yard, who had the second in this corresponding maiden last year. I had thought looking at his last run that he would come into his own over further, but he was restrained at the start and was forced to make ground wide without any cover, so I've marked up his performance. I'd be hopeful more aggressive tactics would be employed from stall 2 this afternoon and if he gets on the lead, he might be hard to pass.
Patisserie is ridden by a 7lb claimer who is just starting to ride winners. She is stuck out in stall 7 of 7, but she showed loads of early speed on her debut and posted a nice rating in a race that worked out quite well, and with a 5lb fillies allowance and 7lb apprentice's claim she is receiving 12lb off the two market principals and our first selection. She apparently disappointed second time out but she was running well trapped widest of all and received quite a bump a couple of furlongs out which was enough to end her chances - this has not been reported in the racing media. That too was a half decent maiden and with cheekpieces applied she looks the type who might cause a bit of a shock as a nippier, nimbler type than the principals.
Profit & loss: day: -6.00 / month: +0.64 / year: +120.85
