Bush Tucker ran a race full of promise on his debut at Windsor finishing second to Tropical Treat. The 2yo is taken to land this maiden event this evening on the all weather providing he takes to the surface.
Jachol a big horse bred to be suited my middle distance and trained by William Haggas has had a few chances proving expensive to follow of late. I am willing to give the horse one more chance this afternoon at Newmarket over 1m 4f with Richard Hills on board.
Fortuni trained by Sir Mark Prescott a very shrewd handler looks a typical improving 3yo with which his trainer excels. This horse has a lot of improvement left in him and is far from reaching the summit of his ability. A winner by 4 lengths last time out at Lingfield in a handicap, he looks just the type to keep on improving and is a confident selection providing he handles the softer ground in the 4.00 at Ripon.
Marine Spirit owned by Godolphin and trained by Saeed Bin Suroor is taken to land the opening event on Newmarket’s card. The horse ran very green on debut at Goodwood in a hot maiden when finishing fourth and that race will have taught this colt a lot and he is sure to leave that form behind this afternoon and go very close.
Lucky Rave Jamie Spencer’s only ride of the evening at Wolverhampton is taken to break his maiden tag at the fourth attempt over 6f this evening. The horse is drawn in stall 8 and providing he gets the breaks from that stall draw her can go very close in this contest. Lucky Rave ran very well last time out finishing 2nd but 5 lenghts clear of the rest at Carlisle.
Candle a 6yo mare trained by Tom George is the selection to win the 1.45 at Newton Abbot this afternoon. Trained by Henry Candy on the flat she stayed well and the trip this afternoon of 2m6f should suit. Her 3rd place last time out in a handicap represents solid form and she should go very close this afternoon for jockey Sam Thomas.
Saxona is a very interesting runner in the cocluding event this evening at Carlisle. The mare begins her handicap career off a modest mark and is taken to make the 215 mile trip from Ian Williams stable pay. She ran well on her last outing at Chepstow over 1m4f and this bumper winner at the stiff course of Towcester should relish this 2m1f trip tonight.
Starstruck Peter a horse who doesen’t always find a great deak for pressure is put up as a tentative selection in this competitive race at Chepstow this evening. He makes his debut for the shrewd Jim Best stable this evening a yard that prides itself upon improving other stables cast-offs. With improvement on the cards he should go close of this mark this evening.
Piazza San Pietro on his first start for trainer Andy Haynes is a confident selection in this selling race this evening. A beaten favourite last time, he may have been improved and sharpened up for a change of scenery, and trainer Andy Haynes is earning himself a reputation of improving horses he aquires from other yards. The horse will handle this evenings conditions and stays this far.
Captain Jacksparra is taken to land this selling race this evening under Amy Ryan. The horse ran respectively last time out and under these conditions is taken to win a fairly uncompetitive event.
