Hi all,
Just the one winner on Saturday courtesy of Petrus advised 8/1 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster. Still a solid day’s profits is that that’s needed.
On Sunday, we have jumps racing at Ascot and the second day of the Lincoln Meeting at Doncaster. Not a day to go to get too heavy involved in but I have selections running at both meetings.
Sunday March 31st
Ascot
4:30 – Junction Fourteen – 5/1 @ Paddy Power or 9/2 – Gen – The 10-year-old produced a better effort when runner-up in a veterans’ chase at Doncaster. On the evidence of that effort he’s on a potentially winning mark off 8lb lower than for his last win, albeit that did come almost three years ago.
Doncaster
2:00 – Prevent – 9/1 @ William Hill – each way – (paying 5 places 1/5 odds) – Is having his first since switching from Ralph Beckett. The 4-year-old won over 6f last season before finishing runner-up over 7f at Ascot. He was beaten just a neck at Ascot off just 2lb lower. Just had the nine career starts, so there’s still scope for improvement from him, and it’s hard not to think new trainer Ian Williams will get a win or two out of the gelding this season.
Cheers
John
