Fairly drab stuff today, it really is the pre-Ascot calm before the storm, but we have one selection.
4.25 Salisbury Men Don't Cry 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 8/1 (Bet Victor, Stan James, Betpack.com, 7/1 generally guaranteed)
There is growing evidence that this son of Street Cry is best on fast turf, and his form figures over 11 and 12 furlongs on turf since stepping up in trip read 1331. He is quite consistent for a horse of relatively moderate ability, and his recent win at Lingfield on reappearance was game enough to make him worthy of consideration here off just 3lb higher. Although Oisin Murphy had a lot to do with that victory, Freddy Tylicki is an able deputy who has been riding plenty of winners and enjoying a good season himself (winners at 20/1, 11/1, 15/8, 8/1, 7/1, 8/1 at five different tracks in the last fortnight). The selection has a little bit of tactical speed and looks uncomplicated, and that might count for a lot here against the likes of Fanzine and Nave, who both looked to think about it last time before going through with their efforts. It might be that the selection will be outclassed by a better horse(s), but he is unexposed over this distance and after just 12 starts on turf and six over ten furlongs plus, he might still be improving. Progeny of Street Cry tend to prefer fast ground, so I'll be hoping Salisbury doesn't take any rain (only a shower forecast). As a consistent type who has a history of performing well in small fields, I am happy to play each-way and win at anything around 7/1+.
Profit & loss: day: -6.00 / month: -46.90 / year: +277.00
