Catterick has a card that opts for quantity ahead of quality, and in a similar vein, lets tip up in a seller, what could possibly go wrong eh? Well let’s see, ELIZABETH COFFEE is a four year old filly who won a similar sort of race last time out at Redcar over a mile and a quarter on soft ground. The form of the race has worked out 2-4-2-2, not bad. She is officially rated 73, meaning she has a minimum of 5lb in hand to the field, and has Graham Lee on board. Sound good? That’s what I thought!
RED TYKE is one of those very likeable northern handicappers. He generally tries his best, gives his all, and often comes short, but every dog does have it’s day, and although it may take a lot of knocking to eventually get that door open. The form of his second last time out at Beverley is exceptionally strong for a Class 5 handicap, with the second, fifth and even tenth winning next time out. He clearly loves softer ground and being God’s country, it has bucketed down accordingly. Bet with your heart and your head, Red Tyke for the win!
The Richard Fahey trained SABORE has been tipped up before by this writer, and done his money accordingly, but the fact the filly is running in a maiden instead of a handicap with a mark of 72 suggests they feel a race of this calibre is a more viable proposition. She is the top rated horse in the race, has demonstrated the best form and from a flying stable. If this filly could walk the walk in the same way that I talk the talk she should bolt up!
The Easterby stable are really having it off as of late. As well as owning nearly half of everything in Yorkshire, they’ve been have winners left, right and centre. Royal Rascal won at York on Saturday, and Body and Soul won the Weatherby’s Super Sprint at Newbury, relishing the juice underfoot. Both were trained by Ted, who has had fifteen winners in the last week or so, operating at a 31% strike rate. BLUE SHOES – one of their rare recent misses as of late has finished third at Ripon and third at Catterick in his last two starts, but has ran very well despite not winning. He is officially 2lb ahead of the handicapper because of his run last week here and is tried at five furlongs instead of six. He has attempted to make all and fade and the drop seems sensible, and given the trainer had three winners yesterday at 8/1, 12/1, and 13/2, if we see the money pour in for it, it should be a question of just how quickly we can mortgage the house!
