Hi all,
Djin Conti continued the winning run when taking the first at Southwell on Monday.
There’s a recent eyecatcher running at Wetherby today.
Wetherby
3:15 – Minella Warrior – 6/5 @ William Hill – A winner of his first two starts over hurdles at the start of the season. He then ran below par in a Grade 2 at Chepstow in October. The 7-year-old then off the track for 103-days before returning to finish runner-up in a Pertemps Series qualifier at Huntingdon . The winner of that race went onto finish 3rd in the Final last week and the 3rd home won a handicap hurdle on Saturday. So, the form looks solid.
Minella Warrior just failed to get into last weeks Final at Cheltenham so shouldn’t be long in finding a winning opportunity. Up 3lb for his last effort demands more but he looks capable of winning again.
My slight concern is the soft ground, as all his best form so far has come on a sounder surface. Hopefully his class can see him through.
Cheers
John
