Bet 4 240 Newbury. This race may be one to watch with a view to spotting something going the right way just in time for one of the big field sprints (that I keep going on about) in the near future.
The two I like but have discarded are Fullandby -with Keiran Fallon (which has had its share of decent priced returns) and Rowe Park. The former owes me nothing but is probably past its best nowadays, whilst the latter has plenty of ability and has the champion jockey on board.
My selection is
Soraab 7/1 with stanjames (BOG) and, as I have time, I'll tell you why.
Figures for its first runs on turf last year
2nd (newbury) 1st, 4th
For 2008
1st 7th 1st
For 2007
2nd 2nd 1st 2nd
See where I'm going with this?
It had some runs on the all weather in 2007 but it obviously runs well fresh at this time of the year and can handle a variety of going. Tomorrow's jockey has won on it and I just don't see any downsided to giving it a go.
5pts ew.
