Hi all,
Not the most competitive of days complicated by the possibility that the going easing a bit further due to more rain.
Apologies for the lack of this week’s notebook but I had internet problems yesterday and I will try to get it to you later today.
Newmarket Cambridgeshire Meeting – Day 1
2:25 – Dogged, put in a much-improved effort on his third career start when 2nd of 13 at Sandown 13-days ago. The colt makes his nursery debut of what looks a workable mark and can win races of it. Any further easing of the ground would be an unknown, but he looks worth an each way play here.
1pt each way – Dogged – 10/1 @ Paddy Power or 8/1 – Gen
3:00 – If the rain does arrive then it may be worth going with Molls Memory in this 6f handicap. The 4-year-old has been generally progressive this season with some juice in the ground. Arguably she put in a career best when beaten just a short head at Haydock 20-days ago. That performance came over 7f but the drop to 6f shouldn’t be an issue and she remains one to be interested in.
1pt each way – Molls Memory – 7/1 @ William Hill & Ladbrokes
4:45 – Original Choice, won a 3 runner 1m 3 ½ f conditions race at Lingfield 12-days ago. Not sure how reliable the form is, given the race turned into a bit of a sprint for the line. Stamina for a truly run 1m 4f has yet to be tested but the 5-year-old shapes like he will stay. Return to handicap company off a competitive mark based on his form for previous trainer William Haggas and he used to be effective with cut in the ground.
1pt win – Original Choice – 8/1 @ Ladbrokes & Bet365
Cheers
John
