Chief Editor (Haydock 3:35)
There is a draw back to todays best bet, he has not run for 491 days!! However, if he is in peak condition he should give a really good run for our money at a big price (sp forecast 20/1).
Okay can we go one better than last weeks two winners 9/2 and 5/1.
The one4racing Saturday patent consists of:
Haydock, 3:35, Chief Editor
Ascot, 3:10, Saoirse Abu
Ascot, 4:55, Diamond Diva
Genki 2:35 Ascot seems to tick all the right boxes, won here in August but not with his usual jockey S Drowne who is back in the saddle for today’s ride. A very competitive race but he has to have every chance of winning.
Result:1st @ 7-2
Funny Me Goodwood 2:55 has had three races this year and has been placed in two of them but losing by considerable margins. The opposition today appears to offer less competition and he is certainly worth a few bob.
Result: 1st @ evens
Motafarred runs in the 5:30 at Leicester. She was completely outclassed last time out in a class 4 over 10 furlongs, today she’s in a class 5 over 8 furlongs and on previous form is more than happy in this class and distance and has had some pretty good wins.
Result: NR
Some really good competitive racing around today. Zomerlust in the Ayr Gold Cup (3:30) wins the dubious honour of todays best bet.
Mr Keppel (2:05) and Monte Alto (3:10) buth running at Newbury make up the one4racing Saturday Patent.
Result: Mr Keppel 1st 5-1
Monte Alto 1st 9-2
Day two of the Ayr Gold Cup meeting so we will have a crack at Nine Stories in the 3:30, he won here in May in similar going, not very good last time out but should have a fair chance today.
Always Ready Yarmouth 2:40 is today’s selection. Since June has been placed in all but one of his races, its his first time on the going and he appears to be the best of the bunch.
Result: Managed a creditable second, but had very little left at the end.
Canadian Danehill Yarmouth 4:40 another dreaded 5 furlong race, but being a Tuesday and not the greatest of days racing in the UK, Frankie Dettori has every chance of victory in this class 4 race.
Result:Evens winner, better than nothing!!
Todays nap: Chester 5:05 Grand Art
This Mark Tompkins trained horse is on the verge of a treble. A course an distance winer, which should handle the step up in trip.
Add these two for the one4racing Saturday Patent (all running at Chester):
1:50 Bellomi
2:20 Alan Devonshire
Hot on the heels of his recent wins at Stratford, Notre Cyborg (Bangor, 4:45) is going for the treble today.
