Watching back the run that WILLOWING had last time out at Doncaster, I’m very surprised he dons the white cap and is the supposed second string for Godolphin in the opener, a seven furlong maiden. He ran a great third that day, just tiring in the latter stages, and the drop down to the extended seven should suit this filly down to the ground. Phillip Makin is on board, and although there are threats in stablemate Naalatt and Zero Game for Michael Bell and Jamie Spencer, Willowing gets the nod.
HI THERE runs on an unadjusted mark for a game third last time out at Newmarket, when badly hampered in running, and on a mark of 72, looks fair value for Richard Fahey and Freddie Tylicki in the seven and a half furlong handicap. Although hampered, the gelding still ran on well towards the finish, and creeping in at the bottom of the weights, he makes plenty of appeal in a fairly weak renewal.
I can not get over the price of SHEIKHZAYEDROAD in the 3.15 ten furlong handicap, and although up 2lb for finishing third last time out at Newmarket, he didn’t seem to handle the course, and hung badly towards the latter part of the race. He didn’t do much in front and with Jamie Spencer on board, he will have the perfect jockey to give him his patented last to first ride. At the prices, he looks severely overpriced, and with the Johnston horse being accordingly short, the favourite is worth taking on.
ALIVE AND KICKING has two big eggs next to his name, but both runs can be excused for the James Bethell four year old. Bumped on his penultimate start and then he finished tenth last time out over six furlong s at Doncaster. The gelding was in front however two furlongs out, and was eased down after tiring late on. Dropping back to five furlongs seems a logical step, and he is respected with Jamie Spencer booked to do the steering.
If you excuse FREE ZONE’s run last time out on bottomless ground in Ireland, he is a very consistent and versatile animal for Bryan Smart and Tom Eaves, and before that run, ran a solid third in group three company with Nunthorpe winner Spirit Quartz in behind him. He is a course and distance winner, and has his best form on good ground, for the life of me he looks overpriced in a field full of exposed veterans. The three year old is only having his seventh run of the season, and will have place claims at the very least.
The 4.50 is a terrible looking maiden, with some horses that are likely to never win a race, bar a well punted claimer around Dunstall Park. AVON BREEZE sticks out like a sore thumb as an unexposed filly that ran behind some good looking horses of Roger Varian and Sir Michael Stoute on debut at Doncaster and is well entitled to come on for that run and shed her maiden tag here.
I wouldn’t suggest the last as a serious betting proposition, but HARARE goes for the Gemma and Karen Tutty team, who do well in these amateur lady riders’ races. Harare is a course and distance winner, who stayed on well last time out at Redcar at a big price, and lowered another 1lb in the handicap, the now eleven year old can have a swansong for the all family affair.
