A few weeks ago it was all about horses with soft ground form, those mud larks were the ones to follow, their time has come and gone, those quick ground animals are now those to follow.
Some have won on both, and the classy GATEWOOD has won on good at Epsom and York, and soft at Ascot, he is versatile, unexposed and classy. He manages to settle under William Buick so well in his races, that he comes on the wide outside with a late rattle and has put the three handicaps away with relative ease, and little fuss. The George Strawbridge owned Galileo colt steps up into group company, and has pounds to find on official ratings with others, but out of a Selkirk mare, he should relish the step up in trip, and he looks the best bet of the day.
ALJAMAAHEER was an unlucky loser at Royal Ascot in the Jersey Stakes, and was flying towards the end with Sentaril, with Ishvana and Seamie Heffernan catching the field off guard, kicking early and pinching it from the front. Aljamaaheer looked so classy when winning a very good listed race at Newmarket, running on well over seven furlongs. Finally stepped up to a mile, this Dubawi colt can improve further, and looks very classy. Tales of Grimm is still unexposed and can fill out the forecast.
SMARTY SOCKS is a game old horse for the in form David O’ Meara yard and has Kieren Fallon as an eye catching booking in the saddle. His best form has been on good ground, and he has been shaping up nicely thus far this season, ignoring reappearance aside. After that, a solid staying on third on ground not suited, over seven furlongs, followed by fourth in a listed race over again inadequate trip and ground, before finally getting a rock hard surface and winning nicely at York. Fallon was on that day, and with him returning to ride and the form of his two wins looking rather good, the old boy can bring it home for the north.
ORTENSIA finally has her ideal ground after having to hack around Ascot and Newmarket in the mud. This Aussie mare is a quick ground horse, and even though not liking the ground, still performed with credit. The fact she has hung around for this speaks volumes, and is a group one horse in a group two field. Putting it plainly, she is the best horse in the race, and I like her. A LOT.
CARLTON BLUE looked to be pretty unexposed off a mark of 74, and runs under a penalty in the 4.20, a seven furlong nursery after winning rather pleasingly at Ascot in a thorough fashion. I flagged up the Paul Cole yard a few weeks ago and they are coming good. Ashley Morgan is a five pound claimer, but gave the colt a very nice ride and retains the ride again, and can hopefully make it a nice, cheeky double.
GRACIA DIRECTA came over from Germany for a Group Three last month at York and won well under Robert Winston, and it could be worth taking a chance on the filly to continue her rich vein of form. She is stepped up from six furlongs to seven from shrewd connections and looks the value play in a field where Godolphin hold the aces with UAE 1000 Guineas winner Gamilati and the talented Dysphonia.
The Henry Candy yard are coming good as of now, The Confessor tipped up on here and won on Wednesday and LARWOOD can do the same. A good second last time out has him 4lb well in official ratings and is open to further improvement than most, dropping down to the minimum trip.
