Hi all,
I’m taking a pre-Royal Ascot break after a busy couple of months. It’s time for a recharge of the batteries which have been operating on empty of late. I will be putting up some betting advice for Saturday’s racing, but the preview will be much shorter than normal. I have a couple of selections running at Windsor who are well handicapped should they bounce back to form this evening.

6:45 – Live In The Moment wasn’t disgraced when a 5 ¾ length 8th of 20 in Saturday’s Dash at Epsom. However, he continues to run well below his best of last season’s form. The going was good to soft at the time of writing but plenty of rain was forecast for Sunday evening. His best from last year came on good ground but he did twice on soft ground in 2020 so underfoot conditions should hold no terrors for him. This represents a big drop-in class for the 5-year-old and if he isn’t inconvenienced by the quick turnaround could be the answer here.
1pt win – Live In The Moment – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes
7:15 – Hyanna – A formerly useful handicapper but she’s is on a losing run that goes back 2-years. Now well below her last winning mark which came over C&D in June 2020. The mare has been struggling to reproduce her best both last season and so far, this. Has struggled to settle on her last two starts so hopes are pinned on the first time cheekpieces having the desired effect and the booking of Tom Marquand for the first time. Very well treated if bouncing back to form and although her best efforts have arguably come on good to firm, she did run well on both soft & heavy ground earlier in her career.
1pt win – Hyanna – 17/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes
Cheers
John
