Funny when you really fancy a horse to win (Astonishing) at the weekend in an average looking handicap and are really disappointed with 2^nd to then watch it bolt up by 7 lengths in a Listed race a few days later over same C&D. Annoying. Caucas was only winner yesterday but was only single I had so all good.

Newmarket 1.40 – You just don’t win maidens by 15 lenghts in a canter in a quick time. And when Radiator’s Evs nearest rival finished a few lengths behind Wedding Ring you know you have a smart filly. Midnite Angel ran well enough in the Sweet Solero and I do get Segals’ point about Fabre sending over Miss France however so guess have to tread carefully?

Newmarket 2.10 – I’m torn here between Maureen and Purr Along. I just can’t back anything Detorri rides at the moment but with her 3lb filly allowance it has to be Purr Along as 9/1 must be good value. Granted Igugu has solid form on my favourite track in world (Meydan), but tough ask on return. Estiqaama won last race by 8 lenghts. Might be foolish to ignore but half the price of Purr Along who has been racing in much higher grade

Newmarket 2.40 – Might be foolish to take on Soft Falling Rain and I do think a acc with faves is worth pursuing today, but the other two that stand out are Guest of Honour and Penitent. The former Segal has picked so has another good chance of a double today, but the latter won this last year and is in blinding form at the moment so 8/1 is again tempting. The price is reflection on fact ground is quick I imagine.

Newmarket 3.15 – Ithimal 9/4 is a horse I really like. Similar to Dettori I get concerned with all of Sil De Souz rides at the mo. He has ridden some bloody shockers. All the money seems to be for the other Goodolphin runner, but will have to step up big time. RIzeena is one I always seems to miss out on, but not convinced is a Newmarket horse.

Newmarket 3.50 – Yuften will go into the fave acca as looks the likely winner but Gilbey’s Mate 16/1 might be of interest as ran pretty well behind Outstrip on debut.

Newmarket 4.25 – Botti’s horses are so might be worth doubling Guest of Honour with Renew, but the horse I fancy is Testudo 10/1. Gatewood is the pick on figures, but I reckon Testy back in distance can take advantage of 3yr old allowance today.

Newmarket 5.00 – Clearly have to have a small each way on Classic Colori 20/1 who has been 2^nd in this race twice and is on a similar mark, but 3year olds have dominated this so have to focus on them. There’s very little between Morpheus and Silver Dixie except Silver Dixie is 10/2 double the price! Royal Prize 20/1 might be worth a dabble too as beat Top Notch Tonto here a couple of months ago.
