Hi all,
No winners on Sunday but not too much damage done to the betting account either given Saturday’s profit.
Taking a longer view since racing’s resumption the service has made a 62pts profit to advised profits which would be higher if you take into account it was struggling for the first two weeks of June.
All in all, a pleasing five weeks with a solid profit banked.
There’s a competitive looking nine race card at Sandown this evening and I have three selections from there.
Sandown
6:40 – Enemy is sure to be popular after his 4th of 22 behind the smart Khaloosey in the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot. The step up to 1m 2f should suit the colt on breeding. There’s plenty to like about his chance in the Class 3 handicap apart from his price.
At the prices the suggestion is the Roger Charlton trained Amir Kabir. The gelding has improved with each of his three starts and made a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton. Up 5lb but that doesn’t seem to harsh as he seemed to win with more in hand than the final winning margin of a neck suggests and he can improve further for the step up to 1m 2f. Trainer Roger Charlton is a tidy – 10 winners from 29 runners 34% +26.24 15 placed 52% with his 3-year-old handicappers at Sandown in the past five years.
1pt each way – Amir Kabir – 13/2 @ Bet365
7:15 – Setarhe overcame a poor start on her racecourse to debut to win at Newmarket. She was then pitched into the Group 3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. Just like at Newmarket she was slowly away. Doing her best work at the finish she ran on into second behind the impressive winner Dandalla. The slightly quicker surface is in her favour this evening, as should the step up to 7f.
1pt win – Setarhe – 7/2 @ Bet365
7:45 – Mancini hasn’t been disgraced on his three starts for new trainer Ian Williams and is back to a winning mark. Well suited to a sound surface. A return to front running tactics can see the 6-year-old go close, especially if he gets an uncontested lead out in front.
Kaloor hasn’t really built on the promise of his first two career starts. But the 4-year-old has run with a bit of promise on both starts for new trainer David Menuisier over a mile and 1m 2f. Stays 1m 4f and the step up to 1m 6f looks worth a go on pedigree. The booking of William Buick looks an interesting one for a trainer who has a good record with his runners in Sandown handicaps – 8 winners from 22 runners 36% +35.1 14 placed 64%.
1pt win – Kaloor – 8/1 @ Bet365
Keep an eye on your inbox for any selections over the coming days.
