Race 1: 01:02 +1d Lone Star Race 2 - Maiden Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(5) Snowbird | | | | | 3 | Elvin Gonzalez | H Ashford Jr | Placed once in seven starts. Finished 7l behind Kammys Kash when sixth of 9 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Sunland Park over 5f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Nancy Summers. Unlikely to trouble her rivals. |
(2) Romina C | | | | | 3 | Isaiah Wiseman | Carlos Padilla | Dam won at 5f. An interesting newcomer. |
3rd (3) Elsie Jane | | | | | 3 | Iram Diego | Carlos Padilla | Half-sister to Dancing With Maude, won twice at 6f. The betting could provide all the clues. |
2nd (4) Catholic Sue | | | | | 3 | Harry Hernandez | Karl Broberg | Unplaced in all four starts. Beaten behind Mitole's Legacy at 4-1 when eighth of 9 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Needs to show more. |
1st (6) Cinco Gal | | | | | 3 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Ronnie Cravens | Placed in five of 11 starts. Beaten 7l by Highlander's Edge when second of 6 at 14-5 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Jose Jr Uriegas. One to consider. |
4th (1) Lady Driller | | | | | 3 | Erik Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | Placed once in four starts. Beaten 19l behind Wampus Kitten at 22-1 when 9th of 10 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Will find this a lot easier. |
LADY DRILLER was well-held in ninth when competing in a much tougher contest than this last time and she can take full advantage of this drop in class. Catholic Sue and newcomer Elsie Jane are others to watch out for.
Race 2: 01:14 +1d Turf Paradise Race 9 - Maiden Optional Claiming - All Turf Paradise Races
(1) Calculated Spin | | | | | 4 | Leslie Mawing | Robert Davis | Placed once in 14 starts. Finished 9l behind Sir Pistolero when fourth of 8 at 60-1 on his latest outing at Turf Paradise over 7f (good) last month. Probably safe to look elsewhere. |
2nd (7) Goaline | | | | | 5 | Matias Bravo | Vann Belvoir | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 14l behind Royal Joker when fifth of 8 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Turf Paradise over 5f earlier this month. Others are more appealing choices. |
(6) Extra Beat | | | | | 3 | Armando Ayuso | Neil Drysdale | Dam won three times at 6f. Well beaten at 5-1 behind Well Imagine That when fifth of 6 on his racecourse debut at Turf Paradise over 7f (good) last month. Will need a big step forward. |
(2) Pure Cane Sugar | | | | | 4 | Luis Contreras | Joe Toye | Placed once in eight starts. Third of 8 behind Sir Pistolero beaten 6l at 11-1 on his latest outing at Turf Paradise over 7f (good) last month, his only placing from 8 starts. A place is feasible. |
(9) Golden Affair | | | | | 3 | Kevin Radke | Frank Lucarelli | Yet to place in three starts. Finished 12l behind Freeze 'em when fourth of 7 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Turf Paradise over 6f earlier this month. Others appeal more. |
1st (10) You'reinthearmynow | | | | | 3 | Brayan Pena | Don Schnell | Placed twice in four starts. Third of 6 behind Well Imagine That beaten 6l at 11-10fav on his latest outing at Turf Paradise over 7f (good) last month. In the mix. |
(8) R Barracuda | | | | | 3 | Isaias Enriquez | Frank Lucarelli | Placed once in five starts. Beaten 2l by Well Imagine That when second of 6 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Turf Paradise over 7f (good) last month. Respected after that much improved effort. |
(3) Earthly Tiger | | | | | 4 | Guillermo Rodriguez | Justin Evans | Finished 6l behind Tiger Too when fifth of 9 at 35-1 on his racecourse debut at Golden Gate Fields over 5f in December last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ruby Thomas. Best just watched. |
3rd (4) Vinniebob | | | | | 5 | Alex Cruz | Chad Story | Placed in five of 32 starts. Beaten 4l by Sir Pistolero when second of 8 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Turf Paradise over 7f (good) last month. A key player. |
4th (5) Admiralty Place | | | | | 6 | Karlo Lopez | Vann Belvoir | Placed in seven of nine starts. Beaten 8l behind Dancing Rinca at 17-4 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in February last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael McCarthy. Likely to be heavily involved. |
VINNIEBOB has been getting better with each run lately and he can finally gain a breakthrough success if he continues in the same manner. Admiralty Place and You'reinthearmynow are others to seriously consider.
Race 3: 01:25 +1d Charles Town Race 4 - Claiming - All Charles Town Races
4th (5) Net Worth | | | | | 4 | Kirsten Swan | Kirsten Swan | A winner at 7f. Finished 6l behind Humpty Grumpty when fifth of six at 20-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 7f last month. A minor role awaits. |
(7) My Handsome Man | | | | | 5 | Antonio Lopez | Melvin Ovando | A winner at 6f. Finished 10l behind Boss E Boogs when fifth of six at 15-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f (good) in February. Tough ask. |
2nd (9) Xcellent Start | | | | | 4 | Marshall Mendez | Jeff Runco | He has won three times from 4f to 6f. Finished 6l behind Spunman when fourth of six at 4-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f (good) last month. Others make more appeal. |
1st (6) Lieutenant Brown | | | | | 6 | Keimar Trotman | Michael Jones | He has won three times at 7f. Third of six behind Judgement Day beaten 9l at 11-2 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 7f last month. Holds strong claims. |
(3) Jazz With Denis | | | | | 4 | Arnaldo Bocachica | Anthony Farrior | He has won four times from 4f to 6f. Well beaten at 13-5 behind Spunman when last of six on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f (good) last month. Difficult to recommend. |
(1) Billykus | | | | | 4 | Luis Batista | Raymond Ginter | A winner at 5f. Third of eight behind Freddyness beaten at 3-10fav on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f in March last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with John Robb. A player on his long awaited return. |
(4) Hot Fudge Sonde | | | | | 6 | Reshawn Latchman | Anthony Rideoutt | He has won four times at 7f. Third of six behind Spunman beaten 1l at 6-4fav on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f (good) last month. Appears held on that form. |
3rd (8) Spunman | | | | | 7 | Andres Chavez | Jeff Runco | Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. A winner at 3-1 at Charles Town over 6f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Cajun Joe by 1/2l. Can follow up. |
(2) Machen's Ridge | | | | | 5 | Maximo Chilo | Melvin Ovando | Winner of five races from 5f to 1m. Third of seven behind Windsor's Tracker beaten 3l at 35-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f earlier this month. Could make the frame. |
A comfortable winner over shorter here last time out, SPUNMAN should have no issue going back up in trip and is narrowly preferred to Lieutenant Brown and Machen's Ridge.
Race 4: 01:29 +1d Lone Star Race 3 - Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(5) D W Strong | | | | | 7 | Alfredo Contreras | Ken Butler | A winner at 7f, but that win was over four years ago. Beaten 10l behind Buffett at 16-1 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Delta Downs over 6f in February. Unlikely to be good enough. |
3rd (3) Classic Runner | | | | | 5 | Jose Alvarez | Cesar Govea | A winner at 7f. Finished 3 1/2l behind Do Your Job when fourth of 12 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. Needs to do more. |

(1) Kentucky Ice | | | | | 4 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Ronnie Cravens | A winner at 6f. Third of 7 behind Bougie Joe beaten 7l at 16-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f last month. Warrants serious thought. |
1st (7) Mo Tap | | | | | 6 | Harry Hernandez | Karl Broberg | A winner at 6f, but that win was over two years ago. Beaten behind Kid Shelleen at 5-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Easier to side with others. |
KENTUCKY ICE was beaten seven lengths into third in a deeper contest than this last time and he can capitalise on his drop in grade. Midnight Money and Message Discipline also merit consideration.
Race 5: 01:53 +1d Charles Town Race 5 - Claiming - All Charles Town Races
(9) Rebel Warrior | | | | | 3 | Maximo Chilo | Anthony Lucas | A winner at 5f. Third of nine behind Yo Vinnie beaten 9l at 10-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. A watching brief advised. |
(4) It's My Rainbow | | | | | 3 | Andres Chavez | Jeff Runco | A winner at 5f. Finished 17l behind Hey Boots when last of 5 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f in February. More is required. |

1st (10) Triple Bad | | | | | 8 | Juan Nunez | Tabitha Wilhelm | He has won four times from 4f to 7f, but last win was over three years ago. Beaten 1/2l by Forever Takes Time when second of five at 14-5 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f in February. Can go one better. |
3rd (1) Colt Rock | | | | | 4 | Denis Araujo | Edwin Tobin | He has won three times from 4f to 5f. Third of four behind Forever Takes Time beaten 3l at 3-5fav on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f (good) last month. Needs considering. |
2nd (2) Juba Bound | | | | | 5 | Orlando Bocachica | Michelle Knoblauch | He has won four times from 4f to 7f. Well beaten at 6-1 behind Ciderhouse Way when fifth of eight on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
(5) Malibu Cowboy | | | | | 4 | Christian Hiraldo | Marion Cuttino | A winner at 5f. Finished 14l behind Legendaire when sixth of seven at 15-2 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 7f last month. Unlikely to figure. |
(7) Missionary | | | | | 4 | Gustavo Larrosa | Michelle Knoblauch | He has won three times at 4f. Beaten 1 1/4l by Moonset when second of seven at 12-5 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ronald Sigler. Capable of being in the shake-up. |
Runner-up on three of his last four starts here, TRIPLE BAD deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion. Missionary and Timmy are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Race 6: 01:56 +1d Lone Star Race 4 - Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(4) Nooge | | | | | 5 | Obed Sanchez | Kyndra McKinney | Successful at 7f and 1m.

(7) Do Your Job | | | | | 3 | Rene Diaz | J Caldwell | Successful twice at 6f. A winner at 13-2 at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Message Discipline by 1/2l. Can follow up. |
DO YOUR JOB has turned a corner this year and a third win in four starts could be in the offing for J R Caldwell's charge. Detective Bernardo and Dose's Dream are high on the shortlist as well.
Race 7: 2:05 Gatton (BG) Barrier Reef Pools Mdn Plate AUS 860 metres - All Gatton Races

(2) Office Politics | | | | | 3 | Micheal Hellyer | J W Zielke | Didn't show much at all last start when 16L 10th at Doomben. Recent form only fair. |
(7) Starspangle Planet | | | | | 4 | Noriyuki Masuda | Taryn Churchill | Below par when beaten by 8.4L at Ipswich last run. Keep in mind. |
(6) Split The Cash | | | | | 4 | Kenji Yoshida | Gary Thwaite | Gary Thwaite 4yo first starter by Rothesay. Expect a forward showing. |

(12) Chockablock | | | | | 4 | Jade Metcalfe | W P Nugent | Having first run back from a spell. Sent for a spell on the back of an Ordinary effort when beaten by close to 4L at Mt Gambier. Strong chance. |
(13) Sunfyre | | | | | 3 | Les Tilley | Pat W Webster | Having 3rd run back from a spell. Nice run last start when raced on the speed and finished 1.70L behind Dream Lantern at Toowoomba. Consider for wider exotics. |
(14) Oxfordshire | | | | | 4 | Marnu Potgieter | Ms L Derecourt | 1st up today. One for the back end of exotics. |
(15) Invading Jilly | | | | | 2 | Unknown | Ryan Tyrell | Having second run back from a spell. Ordinary last start when 9.9L behind Victory Statement at Sunshine Coast Poly Track. Check betting. |

CUT HIM LOOSE improved markedly from first to second start when scoring here last time out, and she looks the one to beat on the back of that. Dream Street Rose and Sparkleinyoureye can give her the most to think about.

4th (2) Sparra | | | | | 4 | Jermaine Bridgmohan | George Bryant | Successful at 5f and 6f on the all-weather. Finished 11l behind Tigers 'n Bears when sixth of nine at 16-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m last month. Do not dismiss. |

Beaten 13l behind Doc's Bolero at 14-1 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Domingo Chacaltana. This looks beyond him. |
(7) Just Hangin Ridge | | | | | 5 | Samuel Burgos | Ronald Kotara | A winner at 4f on the all-weather. Third of 11 behind Doc's Bolero beaten 7l at 15-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. A player at this level. |

1st (4) Gun Collector | | | | | 4 | Carlos Marrero | Stacey Viands | Successful at 6f and 1m. Beaten 3/4l by Sargent Kobe when second of 6 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Every chance of going one place better. |
(3) Captain Creed | | | | | 4 | Andres Chavez | Jeff Runco | Successful at 4f and 6f. Finished 11l behind Royal Pain when sixth of 7 at 19-10fav on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Others appeal more. |
4th (7) Motivating | | | | | 4 | J Acosta | Stacey Viands | Successful at 5f and 6f. Third of 7 behind Royal Pain beaten 2 1/4l at 7-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Solid claims of at least hitting the frame. |
3rd (2) Legendaire | | | | | 6 | Reshawn Latchman | Benjamin Perkins | Successful at 6f and 7f. Won on his latest outing when 6-5fav at Charles Town over 7f last month, beating Stomping Moon by 3/4l. Commands respect on the back of that performance. |
2nd (1) Late In The Game | | | | | 5 | Gustavo Larrosa | Ronald Sigler | Winner of seven races from 6f to 1m. Finished 7l behind Muad'dib when fifth of 6 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Merits respect easing in grade. |
(8) Juba's Notion | | | | | 4 | Antonio Lopez | Kristy Petty | Winner of five races from 4f to 7f. Third of 10 behind Juba's Hat Trick beaten 3l at 14-5 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 7f in October last year. Would be foolish to ignore. |
(9) Tiz No Clown | | | | | 4 | Carlos Lopez | William Atkins | He has won three times from 4f to 6f. Finished behind Uncaptured Storm when fifth of 11 at 60-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f in December last year. Warrants respect dropping in class. |
I'M THE MONEY MAN impressed when running out a comfortable winner over further here last month and, with this drop in trip likely to be no hinderance, he gets the vote to bring up the double. Gun Collector and Motivating can also get involved.
Race 12: 02:50 +1d Lone Star Race 6 - Claiming - All Lone Star Races
3rd (5) Words Of Wisdom | | | | | 5 | Gerber Pivaral | Sarah Davidson | He has won four times from 7f to 1m 1f. Finished 6l behind Cousin Larry when fourth of 7 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f last month. Has been short of the mark lately and is hard to fancy. |
(2) Elusive D'Oro | | | | | 7 | Elvin Gonzalez | Karl Broberg | He has won four times from 5f to 6f. A winner at 11-2 at Delta Downs over 6f on his latest outing in February, beating Veterans Day by a neck. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Desmond Fogarty. A solid option. |
(1) Seize The Treasure | | | | | 5 | Jermaine Bridgmohan | George Bryant | Winner of five races from 5f to 7f. Beaten 18l behind Shotshell at 13-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Effective at this trip and rates a player here. |
(3) Texas Holdem | | | | | 5 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | J Caldwell | He has won three times from 6f to 7f. A winner at 5-1 at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Reckless Red by 2 1/4l. Another big run is expected. |
1st (6) Nautical Moon | | | | | 6 | Jose Alvarez | Francisco Bravo | Winner of seven races from 6f to 1m. Beaten 6l by Prince Rama when second of 10 at 30-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m last month. Can go close again. |
2nd (9) Malibu S S | | | | | 5 | Harry Hernandez | Karl Broberg | Winner of five races at 6f. Finished 7l behind Hap Hot when fifth of 9 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f last month. Difficult to recommend. |
(8) Federal Hill | | | | | 5 | Iram Diego | Ronnie Cravens | He has won four times from 7f to 1m 1f. Beaten 5l behind Blue Boon at 11-1 when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m 1f (good) last month. Opposable. |
(4) Quarterback Dak | | | | | 7 | Rene Diaz | J Caldwell | Has won eight races from 7f to 1m. Third of 5 behind Mr Money Bags beaten 6l at 15-2 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m last month. Consistent and has to enter the reckoning. |
4th (7) Bobby Brinkley | | | | | 6 | Stewart Elliott | Steven Asmussen | He has won three times from 5f to 1m, but last win was over three years ago. Finished 4l behind Josh's Dream when fifth of 6 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f last month. Drops in class and has to be taken very seriously. |
Returning to a mile should suit BOBBY BRINKLEY, who is a key player dropping back in class here. Seize The Treasure and Elusive D'oro are others with solid chances based on their peak form, with the former suggested as the bigger threat to the selection at this trip.

(8) Ma Jolie | | | | | 4 | Hiroshi Oohara | Katsuyoshi Itou | Lackluster showing when 7th last time around here. This one has a big task. |

(8) Kobe Ascot | | | | | 3 | Unknown | A & T Sweeney | Just a fair effort last time at Maiden level at Toowoomba when 3.2L behind Zin Zan Ready. Expect to run well. |
(12) Maple Magic | | | | | 3 | Adin Thompson | Jason Edwards | Ordinary last start when 5.7L behind No Name Frank at Ipswich. 5.7L from the winner over this distance last start. Looking to others. |

(3) Deacon Jones | | | | | 3 | Alfredo Contreras | Javier Ortiz | Placed once in seven starts. Well beaten at 15-1 behind Victory For Vets when last of 10 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m last month. Merits consideration easing in grade. |
(9) Ukraine Strong | | | | | 3 | Elvin Gonzalez | Miguel Silva | Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 45-1 behind Hawks Creek when 9th of 11 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1m (good) in October last year. Opposable on the balance of form. |
1st (5) New Bern | | | | | 3 | Stewart Elliott | Steven Asmussen | Unplaced in all four starts. Finished 13l behind Without A Trace when fifth of 11 at 25-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m earlier this month. Needs more. |
3rd (1) Mind Hunter | | | | | 3 | Erik Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | Half-brother to Beyond Blame, won four times at 1m and 1m 1f including a Group 3 race. Third of 11 behind Without A Trace beaten 9l at 9-1 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m earlier this month. Warrants respect. |
4th (2) Master Of Disguise | | | | | 3 | Harry Hernandez | Robertino Diodoro | Placed in five of nine starts. Beaten 1 1/2l by Kykeon when second of 9 at evens fav on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f in February. Consistent type who cannot be overlooked. |

On just his second career start, CORREDOR (second) finished ahead of Mind Hunter (third) over an extended mile earlier this month and, now eased in trip, the former can confirm his dominance over that rival en route to going one place better this time around. Master Of Disguise also commands respect.

2nd (7) Sam Wheat | | | | | 3 | Arnaldo Bocachica | Anthony Farrior | Full brother to Rye Munny, won at 7f. Has shown ability in his workouts and cannot be dismissed. |
(3) Brave Sand Rider | | | | | 3 | Fredy Peltroche | Michael Jones | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 14l behind Z Mystique at 25-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f earlier this month. Remains open to improvement and cannot be overlooked. |

(11) Perfect Girl | | | | | 3 | Daniel Stackhouse | Ben, Will & Jd Hayes | First Start. Watch betting. |
Race 67: 10:35 Amiens Prix Jules Verne - Attele - All Amiens Races
1st (9) Hector Du Minon | | | | | 7 | M Grumetz | G Lefebvre | Disqualified in a class G at Saint-Omer over 2625m on the 14 of April. He has disqualification issues and if wise has the ability |
2nd (10) Hattila | | | | | 7 | J Plassais | J Herard | Fourth in a class G at Argentan over 2150m on the 15 of April. Good fourth at Argentan and has sufficient means to fight for victory |
4th (5) Hold Up Darche | | | | | 7 | T Beauvais | L Jublot | Third in a class F at Lyon-La Soie over 2700m on the 10 of April. Improved after the break and can confirm |
3rd (8) Halizarosa | | | | | 7 | Th Goujon | V Seguin | Disqualified in a class F at Chataillon-La Rochelle over 2625m on the 24 of March. Remains barefoot and should be involved in the finish |
(1) Hobby Du Loisir | | | | | 7 | L Goetz | Mlle M Goetz | Finished 7th in a class G at Ecommoy over 2750m on the 31 of March. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(2) Harry D'Yvi | | | | | 7 | F Letonturier | M Monaco | Fourth in a class E at Villedieu-les-Poeles over 2800m on the 1 of April. Has not won for some time but can play a minor role |
(3) Hosto Des Duriez | | | | | 7 | Loris Bizoux | C Herserant | Unplaced in a class F at Rambouillet over 2800m on the 7 of April.Remains barefoot and happy to pass by |
(4) Hatao Du Perche | | | | | 7 | G Lemaitre | L Guillemin | Third in a class H at Orleans over 3400m on the 1 of April. Reverts to barefoot and has decent form. |
(6) Helvamosa | | | | | 7 | L Cueff | Sam Dekervel | Was 7th in a class E at La Capelle over 2750m on the 24 of March. Unplaced since winning in December and others are preferred |
(7) Helios Du Noyer | | | | | 7 | F Poisson | A Hubert | Disappointing 9th in a class H at Meral over 2700m on the 7 of April. Unshod from the hindquarters. A runner up in the penultimate start and deserves to be respected |
(11) Hurlevent | | | | | 7 | A Allais | N Perrelle | Second in a Mounted class G at Cholet over 2800m on the 1 of April. Remains unshod. Thid in a Harness event three runs back. In form and can go close |
(12) Hillona De Nesle | | | | | 7 | D Thouroude | C H Clin | Third in a class F at Paray-le-Monial over 2625m on the 15 of April. Seldom far off them and does well in both specialties |
(13) Hera Du Donjon | | | | | 7 | Francois Lecathelinais | E Varin | Was 8th in a class E at Reims over 2550m on the 8 of April. Poor form and would be a shock winner |
HURLEVENT (11) ran well in a Mounted race last time out but is just as good in harness races so could score. HALIZAROSA (8) is better than the recent form suggests and could be a danger to these rivals. HELIOS DU NOYER (7) ran well in his penultimate start but did not repeat it last time out. HECTOR DU MINON (9) has disqualification issues but is capable of winning.

(10) Aerospace | | | | | 6 | Jason Maskiell | Shannon Roughan | Wasn't far away before a spell at Mornington in a Restricted 58 race when 4.1L from the winner as a $41 chance. Has a liking for this track condition. Wary. |
(13) Sambucus | | | | | 3 | Daniel Moor | R E Laing | Can improve. |

(7) Carisbrook | | | | | 6 | Teo Nugent | Joseph Waldron | Looked good last start when 4L behind Perfect Ending at Cranbourne. 4L from the winner in Benchmark 64 grade race around here last start. Each way claims. |
(6) Aussie Nation | | | | | 4 | Ryan Houston | Annabel Neasham | Third up from a break. Beaten 8.00L at Sandown last go. Races well at this venue. Has managed to place one of two starts this preperation. Might sneak a place. |
(3) To Be Frank | | | | | 3 | Ben Allen | C Maher | Second up today after a break. Didn't show much at all last start when 5.5L 4th at Pakenham. Can sneak a place. |
(5) Master Right | | | | | 5 | Craig Newitt | C W Mcdonald | Close up last start when 3.80L behind Bob The Horse at Pakenham. Loves these conditions. Bit one paced and place appears best. |
(8) Pure Power | | | | | 3 | Theodore Ladd | C Maher | Gave nothing else a chance last start when a 0.8L all the way winner at Geelong. Strong chance to win again. |
(4) Porter | | | | | 3 | Billy Egan | D T O'brien | Nice run last start when 1.3L behind King's Capital at Geelong. Hard to go past. |
(2) Sacred Bull | | | | | 4 | Jye Mcneil | M Price & M Kent Jnr | Close up last start when 1.4L behind Midnight Glow at Ballarat. Respect. |
(11) Redella | | | | | 6 | Laura Lafferty | S B Laming | 1st up today. Roughie. |
(14) Understated | | | | | 8 | Unknown | P Foster | Poor effort behind Bishop Rock when a well beaten 9.5L 7th at Balnarring last time out. Poor effort last start and hard to see it turning the tables here. |
Race 69: 11:06 Amiens Prix Henri Sion - Attele - All Amiens Races
3rd (7) Lazie Pont Vautier | | | | | 3 | A Garandeau | Vitale Ciotola | Disqualified in a class F at this track over 2400m on the 6 of April.Major disqualification issues and best to pass by |
4th (10) La Nuit Je Mens | | | | | 3 | J F Senet | J F Senet | Second in a class G at Orleans over 2200m on the 1 of April. |
2nd (11) La Belle Mika | | | | | 3 | F Ouvrie | S Roger | Fourth in a class F at this track over 2400m on the 6 of April. Two decent efforts and deserves to be respected |
1st (5) Laure De Moranzy | | | | | 3 | P Y Verva | P Y Verva | Good third on debut in a class F at this track over 2400m on the 6 of April. She has track experience and that will be a benefit. Can go close |
(1) La Belle Etoile | | | | | 3 | E De Jesus | A De Jesus | A 3-year-old filly by Django Riff out of Rencontre Divine who makes her debut. Watch the betting |
(2) Lolita D'Ecotay | | | | | 3 | A A David | A A David | Third in a class F at Villedieu-les-Poeles over 2800m on the 1 of April. Improved after a break and should be involved |
(3) Lisa D'Ourville | | | | | 3 | S Hardy | E Varin | Third in a class F Ecommoy over 2750m on the 1 of April. Performed well on the grass ar Ecommoy and now tries the sand.Can have a say |
(4) Lisbeth | | | | | 3 | A Muidebled | A Muidebled | Disqualified in a class F at this track over 2400m on the 6 of April.A debut runner up that can go one better |
(6) Liberty Stardust | | | | | 3 | F Desmigneux | J F Senet | Was 7th in a class F Ecommoy over 2750m on the 1 of April. Yet to place in seven starts |
(8) Lady Planchette | | | | | 3 | A Allais | Antonin Andre | Finished 7th in a class F at Lignieres over 2100m on the 14 of April. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(9) Leve Toi | | | | | 3 | J R Declercq | J R Declercq | Third in a class F at Strasbourg over 2200m on the 1 of April. The latest was the best effort so far and can show more |
(12) Lucie D'Awagne | | | | | 3 | Marc Moes | D Moes | Disqualified in a Class F at Nancy over 2600m at the end of March. Runner-Up on debut and should be capable of winning this |
LAURE DE MORANZY (5) showed improvement when third on her debut which was at this track. With improvement likely she gets a narrow vote to score. LA BELLE MIKA (11) was not far behind her rival LAURE DE MORANZY (5) that day so should fight out the finish once again. LOLITA D'ECOTAY (2) showed improvement after a break so could have more to offer. LISA D'OURVILLE (3) ran well on the grass last time out and deserves some respect.
Race 70: 11:15 Cranbourne (BG) No Fuss Event Hire (Bm58) AUS 2025 metres - All Cranbourne Races
(13) The Oyster | | | | | 4 | Laura Lafferty | Lee Hunter | Beaten 4.8L last start when a $51 in the market. Prefer to watch. |
(12) Sandpiper | | | | | 4 | Luke Cartwright | J P Salanitri | Close up last start when 0.8L behind Bossa Nova Lad at Mornington. Can improve. |
(2) Easy Road | | | | | 7 | Craig Newitt | Craig Weeding | Impressed last start when 1.8L behind High Torque at Benalla. Has a liking for this track condition. Hit the line hard last start and top chance again. |
(3) Fifi Blue | | | | | 4 | Alysha Warren | Ben Brisbourne | On speed and boxed on well when 2.3L behind High Torque at Benalla last start. Top chance. |
(5) Wealdstone | | | | | 4 | Arron Lynch | J T Conlan | Settled back, worked home strongest when a 2.5L winner at Stony Creek last start. Each way claims. |
(7) Makbeel | | | | | 6 | Daniel Stackhouse | Reece Goodwin | Nice run last start when 2.8L behind Perfect Ending at Cranbourne. Beaten 2.8L at this circuit last start. Bit one paced and place appears best. |
(8) Savatoff | | | | | 3 | Jamie Mott | D T O'brien | Solid effort beaten 4.90L behind Ziryab at Cranbourne last start. 4.90L from the winner in Class 1 class race at this circuit last start. Looking to others. |
(11) Cumbrian Queen | | | | | 4 | Celine Gaudray | Pat Carey & Harris Walker | Sent around a $7 chance when 4.8L from the winner last start at Mornington. Has a liking for this track condition. Ok last start and looks an improver here. |
(1) Countess Jenni | | | | | 5 | Ryan Houston | C Maher | Finished hard at Kyneton when managed to win by 0.1L. Won by a short head last start. Loves these conditions. Knockout chance. |
(6) Bossa Nova Lad | | | | | 4 | Beau Mertens | Gavin Bedggood | Not far away last start when 2.9L behind Perfect Ending at Cranbourne. 2.9L from the winner in Benchmark 64 class race at this circuit last time out. Loves this circuit. Include. |

(10) Bird Dog | | | | | 3 | Billy Egan | Patrick Payne | Having 3rd run back from a spell. Mediocre effort when beaten by close to 7L at Benalla last start. Recent form only fair. |
Race 71: 11:35 Fairview Welcome To Nelson Mandela Bay Maiden Juvenile Plate (fillies)(For 2 yof R100 000 Win BSA / CRS Bonus SAF 6f - All Fairview Races
1st (7) True Design | | | | | 2 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Towards the rear of 14 over C&D (fillies maiden juvenile plate) latest |
2nd (1) Fantasy Girl | | | | | 2 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Not able to make an impression on her debut when attracting interest in the betting three months ago here at 7-2; she has a shout as has potential to improve |
(2) Ginger Palace | | | | | 2 | Y Ramzan | G D Smith | Yard gets plenty of debutant winners; dam was a race winner; September foal; this one is best watched as she might have too much on her plate this time |
(3) Global Scene | | | | | 2 | D Ashby | T J Laing | Could not finish better than seventh on her debut running here over 5f at 100-1 |
(4) Project Runway | | | | | 2 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Creditable debut runner-up (at Fairview over 5f, 7-1), form boosted by the third going on to win; open to plenty of improvement and must be considered |
(5) Tartan Queen | | | | | 2 | L Mxothwa | G D Smith | Yard has a good record with newcomers; September foal; stiff task against rivals with experience and easy enough to oppose |
(6) Thread Of Life | | | | | 2 | R Danielson | T J Laing | Respectable effort on her debut (here, this trip, 33-1); more scope for improvement than some of these; could be in the mix |
This is an interesting race. Fantasy Girl should be in the mix despite a bad run last time while Thread Of Life is expected to take a forward step, but it can pay to side with PROJECT RUNWAY who has previous racecourse experience to her name.
Race 72: 11:38 Amiens Prix Honorine De Viane Morel - Attele - All Amiens Races
4th (5) Lovely Fast | | | | | 3 | P Castel | P Castel | Only fair so far and was 5th last time out in Class F at Rambouille over 2000m on 7 April. Nore is needed to win this race |
3rd (6) L'Intouchable | | | | | 3 | Tanguy Devouassoux | Tan Devouassoux | Two fair runs so far and was 5th last time out in Class E at Rouen-Mauquenchy over 2150m on 18 March. Might play a minor role |
1st (9) Locki Du Fer | | | | | 3 | P Y Verva | G Verva | Not disgraced when runner-up on debut in Class F at La Capelle over 2700m on 24 March. Deserves respect for that run |
1st (4) L'Arc | | | | | 3 | Th Duvaldestin | T H Duvaldestin | Only found one better on debut in Class G at Bihorel-les-Rouen over 2500m on 17 March. Should fight out the finish |
(1) Loulou Barbes | | | | | 3 | C H J Bigeon | C H Bigeon | A three-year-old gelding by Tiego d'Etang out of Brise Barbes who is making his debut. Watch the betting |
(2) Lovely De Tillard | | | | | 3 | J Ch Piton | G Lefebvre | Did not show much when 8th on debut over this track and trip on 13 April. Others are much preferred |
(3) Look Peji | | | | | 3 | M Lemercier | M Lemercier | Finished a promising third on debut in Class F ar Angers over a similar distance on 23 March. Be right there in the mix of things once again |
(7) Laclos | | | | | 3 | S Hardy | E Varin | Much improved last run when runner-up at Royan-Atlantique over 2475m on 7 April. More is needed to win this race |
(8) Larre | | | | | 3 | F Ouvrie | S Roger | Finished a runner-up on debut in Class F over this track and trip on 13 April. Has a chance in a competitive race |
(10) Love De Bellouet | | | | | 3 | V Renault | V Renault | Runner-up on debut in Class F at Angers over a similar distance on 23 March, Can go one better this time |
A very competitive-looking race where only a couple of them can safely be ruled out. LOVE DE BELLOUET (10) only found one better on debut and should be smarter this time and could go one better this time. L'ARC (4) did not do much wrong when runner-up on debut but this is a tougher task. LOOK PEJI (3) ran well over a similar distance on debut and deserves respect. LOULOU BARBES (1) makes his debut bit could be ready for this.
Race 73: 12:10 Amiens Prix Francis Bernard - Attele - All Amiens Races
4th (3) Kwaletytime | | | | | 4 | G Loix | G Loix | Progressive filly with sound references at Mons, which include finishing 2nd in 4 consecutive outings before back-to-back 230mm victories - the latest on 22 February. Not taken lightly |
2nd (6) Kismie De Memartin | | | | | 4 | Anthony Dollion | Anthony Dollion | Delicate but has undeniable means - confirmed as much by winning over 2525m at Les Andelys on 31 March. Keep safe |
1st (10) Kocaine Bond | | | | | 4 | F Desmigneux | V Renault | Races unshod behind for the first time in her career after a much-needed comeback outing (9th) at Graignes over 2700m on 14 April. Has legitimate claims |
3rd (8) Kiranie Des Noes | | | | | 4 | A Laurent | A Laurent | Improving lightly raced filly who finished 2nd to KALLIOPE DU CAIEU (12) last time on this course over 2900m on 6 April. Can turn the tables |
(4) Kaline Des Racques | | | | | 4 | Ph Masschaele | A Buisson | Showed early promise but lost her way with four consecutive unplaced appearances, the latest (9th) at Vincennes over 2100m on 12 December |
(5) Kabalva | | | | | 4 | P A Delacour | G Delacour | Finished a reassuring 2nd over 2825m at Vire on 31 March and could have a role to play here if confirming that improvement |
(7) Khaleesi De Malac | | | | | 4 | J Ch Piton | A Gougeon | Battling 15-start maiden who is hard to recommend on the evidence on her last-start 10th in a claimer over 2100m at Vincennes on 5 April |
(9) Klama De Navary | | | | | 4 | M Verva | P Hachin | A tricky customer with sufficient means to make her presence felt in a race of this nature if remaining wise. Absent since finishing 13th over 2700m at Vincennes on 16 November |
(11) Karabane De Blary | | | | | 4 | B Le Beller | B Le Beller | Inconsistent but isn't incapable of staking a claim either, especially in a race like this. Mustn't be condemned for her recent failure over 2675m at Lisieux on 16 March |
(12) Kalliope Du Caieu | | | | | 4 | F Ouvrie | F Ouvrie | Delicate but has undeniable means, which she has confirmed by winning consecutive recent outing in this configuration ( barefoot) - the latest over 2900m on this course on 6 April. |
(1) Krecy Pont Vautier | | | | | 4 | A Garandeau | Vitale Ciotola | Delicate and is disqualified more often than not, including in consecutive recent outings - the latest at Reims over 2500m on 8 April. Others preferred |
(2) Kiss Me Dussac | | | | | 4 | P Y Verva | P Y Verva | Delicate but seldom finishes far off the mark when avoiding disqualification - confirmed as much by finishing 4th in consecutive starts in December, the latest over course and distance on 16 December. Dark horse |
KIRANIE DES NOES (8) and KALLIOPE DU CAIEU (12) fought out the finish on this course in a recent meeting (6 April), which went the way of the latter, but the former is good value to turn the tables on these conditions. KOCAINE BOND (10), in this shoe fitting for the first time, has the means to pose a threat, which also applies to KISMIE DE MEMARTIN (6) who has been impeccable since she joined Anthony Dollion's stable. KABALVA (5) completes the shortlist.
Race 74: 12:10 Fairview Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate (f & M)(For Maiden (F&M) R15 000 Win Bonus ROA Members) SAF 6f - All Fairview Races
2nd (5) String Of Lights | | | | | 3 | | D A McKenzie | Finished behind three of these rivals at Fairview Polytrack finishing towards the rear of 13 latest; without a win after 11 attempts |
3rd (1) Fanny Kemble | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | S B Kotzen | Has run nine times without getting off the mark; upped to 1m in a fillies maiden plate in January at Kenilworth when finishing tenth of 12; first run for yard; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and needs considering |
1st (2) Listentotheocean | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Solid effort in defeat to finish second after going off 20-1 in a fillies maiden plate latest (Kenilworth); form given substance by next-time-out winner; tenth attempt to break her duck; starts out for new yard; if stepping up from most recent effort should go well |
(3) Gotcha Buzz | | | | | 3 | R Danielson | T J Laing | Had three of these behind (this trip, Fairview Polytrack, open race) last month when only just held (8-1); she should give it a bold bid if backing up last run |
(4) Reunion Hotspot | | | | | 3 | X Ndlovu | A C Greeff | Eighth, not beaten that far (40-1, this distance Fairview Polytrack, open race) 21 days ago on debut for this trainer; capable of making an impact |
(6) Winning Grace | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | Long-standing maiden; solid effort when beaten 2l to finish third two months ago here over 7f; if stepping up from most recent effort likely to be in contention |
(7) Bytheliteofthemoon | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Posted a good effort when fourth here last month; ran well from a poor draw at Fairview Polytrack latest when fourth beaten just over 1l; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and strong claims |
(8) Queen Ofthe Palace | | | | | 3 | T Mayhew | D A McKenzie | Fair effort when beaten 3l in a fillies maiden plate last month on debut for new trainer here (dropped to 5f); should be thereabouts |
(9) Ponte Vecchio | | | | | 4 | S Naidoo | K Mitchley | 22nd attempt to break her duck; suited by the removal of blinkers in a fillies maiden plate here (5f) when only just held (14-1) last month; should not be far away if confirming promise shown last time |
(10) Love Song | | | | | 3 | K Minnie | A C Greeff | Held in fifth in a fillies maiden plate upped to 1m last month on her second outing for this trainer; hard to ignore |
(11) Camaraderie | | | | | 3 | K J Lihaba | K Mitchley | Upped to 1m (fillies maiden plate) here making debut for this handler last month finishing 11th of 12; wears first-time blinkers |
(12) Princess Raya | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Was ninth of ten, beaten 10l, latest (Kenilworth) stepped up to 1m1f; starts out for new yard; deserves respect |
(13) Belltown | | | | | 3 | D B Geerthsen | D A McKenzie | First competitive racecourse experience; out of a dam who was a race winner; needs to run to a useful level if she is to trouble some of these; needs market confidence to make her of interest |
(14) Dancing In Winter | | | | | 3 | D Schwarz | J L van Heerden | This doesn't look easy against more experienced rivals so easy enough to oppose; racecourse debut |
(15) Free World | | | | | 3 | C Maujean | D A McKenzie | Well beaten eighth of 16 in a fillies maiden plate (C&D) latest; hard to fancy |
(16) Galaxy Moment | | | | | 4 | Y Ramzan | L Lotz | Towards the rear beaten 15l 35 days ago here; not easy to fancy |
(17) Hat's Lady | | | | | 3 | P Mxoli | J P Nel | Seemed to find life tough on her debut in February over this trip here (33-1); might be better for the experience although not hard to turn elsewhere |
(18) Linda's Girl | | | | | 3 | D Ashby | T J Laing | Towards the rear beaten 20l in a fillies maiden plate over C&D latest; unlikely to pose a threat |
(19) Five Star Magic | | | | | 4 | Reserve 1 | E Kaknis | Well beaten fourth of ten here (7f) two weeks ago; ought to give it a shot |
(20) Elusive Hunter | | | | | 3 | Reserve 2 | E Kaknis | Finished behind Love Song (sixth) and Camaraderie (11th) latest when last here in a fillies maiden plate upped to 1m; may be plenty short enough in the betting |
BYTHELITEOFTHEMOON has to be the first name on the shortlist. Five Star Magic might have a say, and Winning Grace and Ponte Vecchio are perhaps not open to as much improvement as some of these.
Race 75: 12:26 Saint-Cloud Chanteloup-Les-Vignes Claiming Stakes - All Saint-Cloud Races
2nd (10) Oceane Pearl | | | | | 2 | C Guitraud | X Richard | Wasn't beaten a long way on her debut of this course and distance, finishing 7th of 13 runners on 1 April. Will tempt lovers of outsiders |
3rd (6) Jealous Sky | | | | | 2 | M Eon | H F Devin | Mehmas debutante closely related to two-year-old Listed winner Calypso Beat. Maryline Eon rides for trainer Henri-Francois Devin |
1st (2) Awj | | | | | 2 | M Barzalona | Alice Haynes | Made an encouraging debut (3rd) at Southwell over 1000m on 31 March and needn't improve a great deal to fight for victory |
(1) Young And Proud | | | | | 2 | A Lemaitre | F Vermeulen | Improved with the benefit of an introductory outing under his belt to finish 3rd over track and trip on 1 April. Keep safe |
(3) Fisful Of Love | | | | | 2 | H Boutin | Boutin (S) | Didn't go unnoticed when 6th on debut over course and distance on 1 April. WOuld have gained plenty from that experience |
(4) Twilly Light | | | | | 2 | Eddy Hardouin | D Windrif | Finished 9th of 13 runners on debut over this course and distance on 1 April. Could improve with the benefit of that experience but is best watched for now |
(5) Bygrace | | | | | 2 | G Sias | A&g Botti | Charm Spirit debutante from the stable of Alessandro & Giuseppe Botti with Giovanni Sias engaged to ride |
(7) Casting A Spell | | | | | 2 | M Velon | F Guyader | Florian Guyader-trained Ardad newcomer to be ridden by Marie Velon with the benefit of a 1,5kg allowance |
(8) Explosive Action | | | | | 2 | T Bachelot | F Guyader | Another Florian Guyader-trained Ardad newcomer in the race. Theo Bachelot is a notable riding engagement |
(9) Lilarose | | | | | 2 | D Provost | Y Barberot | Dorian Provost takes 3,5kg off the back of this Yann Barberot-trained Goken debutante. Not taken lightly |
(11) Dandy Galaxy | | | | | 2 | A Nicco | D Satalia | Finished of last 13 runners on debut over this course and distance on 1 April. Could improve with the benefit of that experience but is best watched for now |
(12) Trevi | | | | | 2 | A Crastus | D Satalia | Didn't go unnoticed when finishing 5th of 13 on debut over this course and distance on 1 April but carries an extra 1,5kg on this occasion, so has more to do |
AWJ (2) arrives on French soil with the firm intention of opening her account after finishing 2nd on debut at Southwell and, with Mickael Barzalona engaged, gets the nod ahead of supplemented newcomer JEALOUS SKY (6) who is closely related to a Listed winner. Florian Guyader has enjoyed great success with his youngsters and is doubly represented with CASTING A SPELL (7) and EXPLOSIVE ACTION (8), both of whom should not be underestimated. YOUNG AND PROUD (1) completes the shortlist.

3rd (8) Kiklove Atout | | | | | 4 | J Koubiche | J Koubiche | A tricky customer with sufficient means to make his presence felt in a race of this nature if remaining wise. Finished 2nd over 2900m on this course in his last start on 6 April |
2nd (9) Klarck De Vandel | | | | | 4 | L Baudouin | J M Baudouin | Runner-up in his last two starts, including over 2625m on his reappearance at Chatelaillon-la-Rochelle on 31 March. Candidate for success |
1st (11) Kerido D'Alouette | | | | | 4 | A A Chavatte | A Chavatte | Consistent, lightly raced sort with sound references/form credentials, including a last-start 4th over 3150m at Saint-Brieuc on his reappearance on 26 March. Will be a factor |
(1) Kaid Du Pontseuil | | | | | 4 | G Lefebvre | G Lefebvre | Absent since finishing 7th over 2700m at Vittel on 15 August 2023. Best watched for now on his reappearance |
(2) Kolosse Rhodes | | | | | 4 | C H J Bigeon | C H Bigeon | Confirmed the improvement of his previous outing (4th) by finishing 3rd in this barefoot configuration over 2500m at Reims on 21 March. Keep safe |
(3) Kanada Des Racques | | | | | 4 | R Hemery | X Decaudin | Consistent for the most part and seldom far off the mark when remaining wise. Didn't go unnoticed in either comeback outing (finished 6th in both), the latest over 2900m on this course on 6 April |
(4) Kit Angot | | | | | 4 | Ch Nicole | C H Nicole | A 16-start maiden unlikely to open his account here after a recent failure (disqualification) over 2900m at this venue on 6 April |
(5) Kove Du Chene | | | | | 4 | Ph Masschaele | G Cardine | Battling 19-start maiden who is hard to recommend on the evidence on his last-start 7th over 2700m at Graignes on 17 March. Others preferred |
(6) Kezio Josselyn | | | | | 4 | B Goop | B Goop | Complicated but has the means to stake a claim in a race of this nature if avoiding disqualification. This will again be a question of his wisdom after a recent failure (sanction) at Reims on 8 April |
(10) Keller De L'Iton | | | | | 4 | B Beaucamp | Hughes Levesque | Delicate but has undeniable means and usually performs well when avoiding disqualification, winning once and finishing 2nd twice in 3 completed outings (5 starts). Runner-up at Le Most-Saint Michel on 10 March |
(12) Kodex | | | | | 4 | J Ch Piton | D Brouwer | Improving colt with two victories in three starts in this configuration ( barefoot). Has won consecutive 2750m races at La Capelle, the latest on 24 March |
Victory is likely to go the way of either KLARCK DE VANDEL (9), plated in front and unshod behind for the first time, or consistent KERIDO D'ALOUETTE (11), who represents a stable in very good form. KELLER DE L'ITON (10), however, caught the eye when 2nd on his reappearance and, on the evidence of that encouraging comeback, also has legitimate winning claims for success. KEZIO JOSSELYN (6), for whom this will again be a question of wisdom, and progressive KODEX (12), in his bid to complete a ha
Race 77: 12:45 Fairview 4racing.tv Open Maiden(For Maiden R15 000 Win Bonus ROA Members) SAF 6f - All Fairview Races
2nd (8) Swiss Walt | | | | | 3 | T Mayhew | Z Oosthuizen | Without a win after 13 attempts; creditable effort when 33-1 third (Fairview Polytrack) latest; first start for new trainer; should not be ruled out if building on most recent effort |
1st (10) Aquila Gold | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | Not disgraced when fourth of ten (this trip Fairview Polytrack, maiden plate) 21 days ago on his second outing for this trainer; rates a likely contender |
3rd (9) Colonel Green | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Beaten just over 4l when 11th of 16 but didn't run badly at 25-1 in an open race at Kenilworth in January running over this distance; first run for yard; expected to be in the thick of things if replicating best efforts |
(1) Petteia | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Finished last of 14 in January at Kenilworth; makes debut for stable; should prove competitive despite defeat last time as ran well at Greyville Polytrack three runs back |
(2) Anchor Man | | | | | 3 | D Schwarz | J L van Heerden | Makes competitive race debut; dam had winning form; stiff task against rivals with experience and he could be one for another day |
(3) Mafiabagsthemoney | | | | | 4 | D B Geerthsen | E Kaknis | Held on his debut (here, this distance) in February (66-1); might be better for the experience although not hard to turn elsewhere |
(4) Run For Me | | | | | 4 | K J Lihaba | G D Smith | Things didn't pan out for him when favourite (7l second) at Fairview Polytrack latest; strong showing at this venue when third last month; definitely of interest |
(5) War Sword | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | D A McKenzie | Well-beaten third two months ago (over 7f here); a big player |
(6) Gardener's Pride | | | | | 2 | D Ashby | T J Laing | Was sixth of seven on his debut (this distance, here, 150-1); receives weight-for-age allowance; could improve although needs to |
(7) Captain Efficient | | | | | 3 | M V'Rensburg | W G C Miller | Finished fifth but only beaten 1½l here (5f) last month on his second outing for this trainer; yet to win, defeats are stacking up; likely player as has shown signs of promise |
(11) Potent Captain | | | | | 3 | C Maujean | D A McKenzie | Finished ninth, beaten 5l, latest here (dropped to 5f) |
(12) Lord Capulet | | | | | 3 | P Mxoli | J V A Strydom | Well beaten when seventh (open race) here (7f) 14 days ago; first-time blinkers |
(13) Midnight Advocator | | | | | 4 | Y Ramzan | J P Nel | Couldn't land a blow when eighth of ten at Fairview Polytrack last month; without a win after 13 runs; he can be taken on |
(14) Top Dollar | | | | | 4 | K Minnie | E Kaknis | Towards the rear beaten 13l last month (dropped to 5f); unlikely winner |
(15) Smart View | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Safely held in seventh here over 7f two months ago |
(16) Quiet Whisper | | | | | 3 | X Ndlovu | S B Kotzen | Finished last of 13 in an open race (Kenilworth) latest; first run for trainer; the only filly in the race; hard enough to fancy but needs headgear to galvanise her |
WAR SWORD is a firm choice. He can bounce back from an excusable blip. Run For Me competes off the back of some good runs while Swiss Walt is beginning to look exposed, and one to bear in mind is Petteia despite his current losing run.
Race 78: 13:00 Saint-Cloud Amour Drake Maiden Stakes - All Saint-Cloud Races
2nd (2) Spinello | | | | | 3 | C Demuro | M Baratti | Didn't go unnoticed when finishing 4th on debut in the benchmark event over track and trip on 26 March. Would've gained plenty from that experience |
1st (6) Internaute | | | | | 3 | M Guyon | C Laffon-Parias | Regally bred Sea The Stars colt runner-up in both starts this year. Finished (2nd) ahead of subsequent winner Talise over 2200m at Fontainebleau on 2 March and wouldn't be winning out to of turn after finishing 2nd at Chantilly over 2000m on 30 March last time out |
(1) Jean Pic | | | | | 3 | C Soumillon | H F Devin | Made an encouraging introduction (3rd) in the reference race over this course and distance on 26 March, finishing behind MR DIAFOIRUS (5). Ought to be competitive with improvement expected |
(3) Annabel's Ghost | | | | | 3 | A Le Lay Martin | A Fabre | Finished 10th of 12 on debut over track and trip in the reference race on 26 March. Best watched for now |
(4) Moro | | | | | 3 | S Pasquier | P Bary | Acquitted himself well on debut over at this venue, finishing 5th of 15 runners over 2000m on 21 March. Will be wiser to the task now |
(5) Mr Diafoirus | | | | | 3 | M Barzalona | A Fabre | Caught the eye on debut when a staying-on 2nd to Talise over this course and distance on 26 March. Will be a factor |
INTERNAUTE (6) has confirmed the promise of his debut 4th last year by finishing 2nd in both comeback outings this season and is good value to go one better here, having finished ahead of Talise on his reappearance at Fontainebleau on 2 March. The latter subsequently opened his account by beating MR DIAFOIRUS (5), JEAN PIC (1) and SPINELLO (2), who finished in that order, over this course and distance.
Race 79: 13:17 Amiens Prix Aime Copin - Attele - All Amiens Races
3rd (9) Java De Castelle | | | | | 5 | Julien Raffestin | Julien Raffestin | Disappointing last run when well beaten in Class E at Enghien over 2150m on 26 March. Battling to win but could play a minor role |
2nd (6) Joyce De La Cour | | | | | 5 | L Gaborit | L Gaborit | Holding form well and was runner-up last time out in Class E at Angers over 2350m on 11 April. Be right there at the finish once again |
4th (12) Jadeska | | | | | 5 | N Bazire | F Harel | Returned to form with a good runner-up performance last time out at Ecommoy over 2750m on 31 March. Not out of it |
1st (3) Joke De Chenu | | | | | 5 | L Baudouin | J M Baudouin | Unreliable and her last win was in 2022 but she did run well when runner-up last time out in Class E at Vincennes over 2700m on 4 January. Capable of going one better this time |
(1) Jagawa Match | | | | | 5 | M Durville | B Carpentier | Has lost her way this year and was tenth last time out at Royan-Atlantique over 2475m on 7 April. Others are preferred |
(2) Juloha Star Elge | | | | | 5 | S Hardy | P A Rynwalt-Boulard | Disappointing recent form and was 7th last time out in Class F at Saumur over 3250m on 6 April. Others are preferred |
(4) Jerika De Keryann | | | | | 5 | Ph Masschaele | C H Clin | Has disqualification issues and was 9th last time in Class E at Vincennes over 2100m on 12 April. Hard to trust and others are preferred |
(5) Javanaise Song | | | | | 5 | F Ouvrie | J Ferchaud | In good form of late and was a winner last time out in Class F at Loudeac over 2850m on 31 March. Tackles stronger and others are preferred |
(7) Jamaique Dairpet | | | | | 5 | Anthony Dollion | L Peschet | Disappointing last run when 7th in Class E at Vincennes over 2700m on 9 April. In good form before that and can bounce back to score |
(8) Joye De Fantasia | | | | | 5 | A A Chavatte | A Chavatte | Disappointing last run when 6th last time out in Class F at Meslay-du-Maine over 2875m on 19 March. Barefoot this time and should fight out the finish |
(10) Jolie Queen | | | | | 5 | Cedric Terry | F Terry | Unreliable but did not run badly when fourth last time out in Class E at Vincennes over 2100m on 12 April. Capable of making the frame |
(11) Johanna Jobyna | | | | | 5 | E Douaneau | M Mottier | Talented but has major disqualification issues and was disqualified last time out at Tours on 14 April. Can surprise if wise |
JOKE DE CHENU (3) is unreliable and has not won for some time but is threatening to win a race and this could be it. JOYE DE FANTASIA (8) is clearly capable of better than her last run and could bounce back to be a danger. JOYCE DE LA COUR (6) is holding her form and will be a threat. JADESKA (12) is yet another that ran well last time out and could go one better.
Race 80: 13:20 Ayr Remus Uomo Handicap Hurdle (0-130) (3) 4yo+ GB 2m - All Ayr Races
4th (8) Slugger | | | | | | 5 | Conor O'Farrell | Iain Jardine | Beat a respected rival in a novice earlier this season but now 0-3 in handicaps and hasn't genuinely threatened in any of them (in this headgear combination the last twice); down 5lb for those but has to raise his game. |
(10) Belle Of Annandale | | | | | | 5 | Brian Hughes | Adrian Paul Keatley | Flat maiden who has taken well to hurdling, winning two non-handicaps; visored for the one and only time when third on handicap debut at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and it was a deep race in which he struggled last time at Leopardstown's big February fixture (blinkered for a second time); no headgear now and has each-way claims if at her best. |
2nd (13) Balboa | | | | | | 4 | Bradley Harris | Seamus Mullins | Third in a Listed hurdle before finding the Boodles too hard at Cheltenham; finished a 9l fourth off 2lb higher at Musselburgh two weeks ago and he'll need to better that here. |
(1) Abbeydale | | | | | | 6 | Jack Hogan | Fergal O'Brien | Had eight runs for Gordon Elliott, winning a 2m deep-ground maiden and later fourth of 16 in a handicap (2m, yielding); bought for 45,000euros and still has low mileage on the clock; market could be informative. |
(12) Next Left | | | | | | 8 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Lightly raced 8yo; placed in points and it was over trips from 2m3f to 2m7f when showing promise in three starts for Gary Moore in late 2021; weak 33-1 chance when beaten about 20l in a Newbury 2m novice on debut for this yard after a mammoth absence and it's questionable whether this is his trip, but the Skelton factor can't be underestimated. |
(6) Lively Citizen | | | | | | 9 | Kielan Woods | D J Jeffreys | Far more exposed than a lot of these but arrives here on the back of an excellent run last week at Aintree when fourth of 19 (2m, soft); wouldn't be too dismissive. |
(4) The Kalooki Kid | | | | | | 6 | Danny McMenamin | Nicky Richards | Dual novice winner who was possibly flattered to finish close up in a slowly run Grade 2 at Doncaster in January; he just didn't show up on his handicap debut last time but still interesting off this sort of mark. |
(3) Doyen Du Bar | | | | | | 8 | Craig Nichol | Pauline Robson | Stopped quickly on handicap/chase debut in February, having gone off favourite, after previously winning easily in maiden and novice company over hurdles (2m, soft); faces his toughest test to date but he's dangerously unexposed. |
1st (7) Primoz | | | | | | 6 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Bought for £150,000 after two seconds in Irish points; looks well treated on the form of his front-running novice win here in November (2m, good to soft) and unlikely that he's done himself justice since then, including in a Grade 2; one to consider on handicap debut. |
(9) Hombre De Guerra | | | | | | 6 | Sean Quinlan | N W Alexander | All six career starts have been here and it wasn't his first solid run in maidens when edging home over C&D in early March; he's a dark one now entering handicaps in a first-time tongue-tie. |
(2) Phantomofthepoints | | | | | | 6 | Jack Tudor | David Pipe | Beaten narrowly by a good horse (Grade 2 bumper winner) on hurdling debut here in December; hasn't really gone on and his market rival departed midrace when winning a Chepstow novice with ease last time out (soft); did look good there, however, and he might be improving; handicap debut. |
(11) Bluegrass | | | | | | 5 | Ciaran Gethings | Stuart Edmunds | Third in the 2022 Dante for Aidan O'Brien; however, he took a while to win his first race over hurdles, scoring easily at the eighth attempt at Fakenham on good ground he seemed to enjoy (as was also the case on the Flat); might be vulnerable under these conditions. |
3rd (14) Dance Thief | | | | | | 6 | Ben Smith | R Mike Smith | Only 1-7 in points and now 1-9 under rules after a breakthrough win under Ben Smith over C&D last month; however, that was a Class 4 handicap and this is a whole lot tougher (up 4lb). |
(5) Jackpot d'Athou | | | | | | 5 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | Beat a useful subsequent winner in his 2m maiden (heavy) and beat a consistent previous winner when defying a penalty at Taunton (2m3f, soft); arrives here for handicap debut on the back of a light season for his top connections and has to be of interest. |
A highly competitive opener in which a whole host have chances, a lot of them novices. Handicap debutant PRIMOZ will need to be back to something like his best after a break but the good form he showed in winning his novice here in November is by no means forgotten. The Kalooki Kid retains significant potential and he's interesting for a yard that targets this meeting. Jackpot D'Athou, Doyen Du Bar and Phantomofthepoints are others on the shortlist.[Alistair Jones]
Race 81: 13:20 Fairview Tab Telebet 0861 000 822 Classified Stakes(For horses with nett rating of 71 and below) SAF 1m - All Fairview Races
3rd (8) Head Gardener | | | | | 5 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Worth noting that all his wins have come racing right handed; narrow success in a handicap dropped down to this distance (Fairview Polytrack) five weeks ago with Pedro and Meetatthewindsor back in ninth and last on his second outing for this trainer; one to be interested in |
2nd (4) Meetatthewindsor | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Has won previously at this course; finished eighth dropped back to 6½f in a stakes race last Friday (Fairview Polytrack) when beaten just under 4l |
1st (5) Pedro | | | | | 5 | R Danielson | T J Laing | Consistency hasn't been his strong suit but has been running well here recently; finished ninth, beaten 9l by Head Gardener (this distance, Fairview Polytrack, handicap) last month when leaving backers at 33-20 frustrated despite a favourable draw |
(1) Alado's Pride | | | | | 6 | T Mayhew | Z Oosthuizen | Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Fairview Polytrack (beaten 4½l at 6-1) five weeks ago; has won here before; should not be far away |
(2) Heknows | | | | | 5 | L Mxothwa | G D Smith | Gained an overdue success (Fairview Polytrack, this trip, maiden plate) on first run for current trainer 21 days ago, winning with plenty in hand; recorded sole career win when competing on all-weather |
(3) Launch Code | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | Ran respectably at 16-1 over C&D in February; only career win was on all-weather; in with a shout |
(6) Godfather | | | | | 4 | D B Geerthsen | K Mitchley | Towards the rear beaten 5l (Scottsville) two months ago; a long time since his last win; first run for trainer; was an encouraging runner-up six races ago and if in the same mood should not be ruled out |
(7) San Quintin | | | | | 5 | M V'Rensburg | E Kaknis | Comfortably held in eighth in a stakes race latest (over 1m1½f here); others appeal more |
(9) Legal Chitchat | | | | | 4 | P Mxoli | J V A Strydom | Finished seventh dropped back to 6½f on first run for this trainer latest (Fairview Polytrack) when beaten a fair way (5½l); been generally quiet since successful in an open race at Kenilworth last May; easy enough to take on |
(10) Kavian's Cara | | | | | 6 | D Ashby | T J Laing | Finished towards the rear of 13 over C&D five weeks ago; all three wins going right handed and brings winning form over course and distance to the table; others more likely |
(11) Valyrian Sword | | | | | 3 | K J Lihaba | E Kaknis | Has winning form at this course but been generally quiet since successful in a maiden plate at Fairview in September; finished 11th of 12 35 days ago (over 7f here); has to prove this trip is what he wants and others make more appeal |
(12) Silent Whisperer | | | | | 3 | X Ndlovu | S B Kotzen | Sprang 150-1 surprise (over 7f here) when opening her account in February on debut outing for new trainer |
This looks tight but LAUNCH CODE is preferred. Godfather would be a threat if returning to form, and Alado's Pride is respected based on course form.
Race 82: 13:30 Fontwell Bet £10 Get £10 At Yeeehaaa.Bet Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) GB 2m 3f 49y - All Fontwell Races
5th (5) Locked On | | | | | | 5 | Tom Bellamy | Jack Jones | Well held in two bumpers and the same story on hurdling debut when 250-1; now sent further. |
7th (14) Sullivan Bay | | | | | | 4 | Paul O'Brien | Henrietta C Knight | Pulled up behind Sir Gino on his hurdling debut at Kempton over Christmas; 1m5f AW winner in the meantime (tongue-tie returned) but at a lowly level and he's an unlikely winner of this. |
(3) Dontaskchris | | | | | | 6 | Marc Goldstein | Diana Grissell | Insufficient promise in two visits to Plumpton for a bumper and novice hurdle. |
(7) Maryah Island | | | | | | 5 | Tom Cannon | Oliver Signy | Tailed off in both his bumpers, the latest after a wind op; cheekpieces added to a tongue-tie. |
(12) Drishogue | | | | | | 5 | Tabitha Worsley | Nick Gifford | Well behind All Authorized in a bumper here and was no better at Huntingdon when tried in a tongue-tie; now hooded as well. |
(11) The Orchard Boy | | | | | | 5 | Richie McLernon | Neil Mulholland | Only seventh in a British point; 66-1 for a good-ground maiden at Plumpton and was pulled up after weakening mid-race. |
6th (10) Stardhem | | | | | | 5 | Ben Jones | Ben Pauling | 33-1 or bigger for all three starts; positives to take from his middle one (a maiden) but not a lot otherwise and best watched for now. |
8th (13) Gotthereintheend | | | | | | 5 | Charlie Price | Laura Horsfall | Questionable what she achieved when runner-up in her first bumper and was then last of five in the second; 40-1 for hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) and didn't show a lot. |
3rd (9) Snapdance | | | | | | 5 | Bryan Carver | Robert Walford | Stayed on to be beaten 14l on hurdling debut at Wincanton and that was over 1m7f; could get in the mix if taking a step forward from there. |
2nd (6) Lumi Plugin | | | | | | 5 | Caoilin Quinn | Gary Moore | Beaten 22l in his final bumper but was a lot closer than that in his previous two and he should make a hurdler; however, Niall Houlihan has been aboard for all those races but he now rides the stablemate. |
(8) Record High | | | | | | 7 | Harry Bannister | Suzy Smith | Won his bumper here more than two years ago; beaten 27l+ in his two hurdles and long absences are a feature in his profile. |
4th (4) Electric Jet | | | | | | 5 | Gavin Sheehan | Charlie Longsdon | Some promise in points; not strong form when third at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) and he was beaten when falling after a more prominent ride at Hereford (good) in January; still one of the more talented members of this field and should be capable of better still. |
9th (2) American Land | | | | | | 6 | Brendan Powell | Joe Tizzard | Placed in bumpers and a novice hurdle in late 2022; below that level since returning from nearly a year out, including after wind surgery at Wincanton in February when tried in a tongue-tie; has a lot to prove now but this isn't a deep race at all. |
1st (1) All Authorized | | | | | | 5 | Niall Houlihan | Gary Moore | Won his bumper here; now 0-6 over hurdles but he's proving consistent and seems to be able to show his form on all ground; a repeat of his latest third in a Plumpton handicap should see him difficult to beat here. |
Some of these have the potential to get better but ALL AUTHORIZED sets the standard and, although he's not progressive, he is at least consistent. Electric Jet and American Land are on retrieval missions but are capable of having some say, yet Snapdance could be second best if coming on again from Wincanton.[Alistair Jones]
Race 83: 13:35 Saint-Cloud Sicarelle Maiden Stakes - All Saint-Cloud Races
3rd (8) Moosbeere | | | | | 3 | A Madamet | S Smrczek | Debuted in Germany, finished 3rd at Dusseldorf over 1600m in October, but failed to confirm that promise when only 8th over 2000m at Chantilly in her first start on French soil on 30 March. Best watched for now |
2nd (9) Mosaique | | | | | 3 | M Guyon | C Laffon-Parias | Well-bred Dubawi filly who was slightly disappointing when only 6th on debut over 2000m on this course on 21 March. better expected with that experience to count on |
1st (1) Siyandra | | | | | 3 | D Provost | F Graffard | Revealed considerable means in finishing 2nd in both starts last year and needn't improve a great deal on her reappearance to go one better. Runner-up over 1800m on turf at Chantilly when last seen on 11 October |
(2) Aquilae | | | | | 3 | M Velon | P Groualle | Didn't go unnoticed on debut when finishing 5th behind ZARAKIVA (3) on debut over 2000m on this course on 21 March. Warrants respect |
(3) Zarakiva | | | | | 3 | S Chuette | M Delzangles | Caught the eye on debut when 2nd over 2000m on this course on 21 March. Will be a factor with any amount of improvement expected |
(4) Dame Quant | | | | | 3 | A Mosse | A Fabre | Improving Masar filly who made an encouraging reappearance when 2nd over course and distance on heavy ground on 26 March. Keep safe |
(5) Queen Of Kahraman | | | | | 3 | T Trullier | Mme A Karkosa | Improved to finish 4th over course and distance on 26 March with blinkers fitted for the first time. Could have more to offer |
(6) Tented Camp | | | | | 3 | M Havelkova | Martina Havelkova | Didn't go unnoticed when finishing 5th on debut over course and distance on 26 March. Would have gained plenty from that experience |
(7) Bad Romance | | | | | 3 | L Plommee | Y Barberot | Showed promise by finishing 3rd on debt over this trip in PSF at Pornichet on 27 March. Not taken lightly |
Group I Prix de Diane entry SIYANDRA (1) revealed her quality by finishing 2nd in both starts as a two-year-old last season and is good value to make a winning reappearance here. She will, however, have to thwart the challenge of ZARAKIVA (3) who was also 2nd on debut at this venue. AQUILAE (2) and MOSAIQUE (9) are likely to improve after pleasing introductions, so are candidates for success too.
Race 84: 13:42 Newbury Dubai Duty Free Golf World Cup EBF Maiden Stakes (Newcomers' Race) (GBB Race) (IRE Incentive Race) GB 5f 34y - All Newbury Races
(1) Ant Colony | | | | | | 2 | Hollie Doyle | Eve Johnson Houghton | April foal by Invincible Army; 20,000euros yearling; half-brother to Italian 6f-7.5f 2yo winner Scapestrato; dam unraced half-sister to Italian 6f/7.5f 2yo Listed winner Mujadil Lachy out of Italian Listed-placed 5f 2yo winning half-sister to two Italian sprint Group 3 winners; stable has a fine record with 2yo newcomers and has already had a couple go in this year, but quite a late foal and already gelded. |
3rd (3) Rashabar | | | | | | 2 | Tom Marquand | Brian Meehan | January foal by Holy Roman Emperor; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners River Of Stars (1m6f Group 3), Apadanah (German 1m6f Listed) and Ancona (Listed-placed 7f 2yo) out of unraced half-sister to German 1m2f Group 3 winner Amazona; stable can get a 2yo ready first time, but his pedigree suggests he may improve for further in due course. |
(8) Spring | | | | | | 2 | Finley Marsh | Richard Hughes | January foal by Kodi Bear; 75,000gns yearling; sister to 6f winners Scarlet Bear (Group-placed; RPR 98) and Elinor Dashwood (2yo; 78); dam placed 7f AW (60), out of 6f 2yo/7f Group 3 winning half-sister to useful 7f-1m winner Bronze Prince; stable going great guns with its older horses and market support would be significant. |
2nd (5) Star Anthem | | | | | | 2 | Richard Kingscote | Clive Cox | January foal by Starspangledbanner; 45,000euros yearling; half-brother to four winners including Chartwell House (7f including 2yo; RPR 96), Seven Brothers (6f-7f including 2yo; 93) and Stratton Street (5f 2yo; 92); dam 6f winner (102), sister to 1m Group 3 winning dam of smart winners at 6f and 1m2f; stable has a good record with 2yo newcomers and the market should be revealing. |
(6) Tropical Storm | | | | | | 2 | David Probert | Andrew Balding | February foal by Eqtidaar; 22,000gns foal, 50,000gns yearling; half-brother to winners Purosangue (5f/Listed 6f 2yo; RPR 103) and Liberty Breeze (7f; 62); dam prolific 5f-6f winner (98), half-sister to useful 5f winner Tumblewind out of 5f/6f winner African Breeze; plenty to like on pedigree and stable won this in 2021 and 2022. |
4th (7) Running Queen | | | | | | 2 | Oisin Murphy | Ollie Sangster | February foal by Kingman; half-sister to French winners Momarasa (1m/1m1f; RPR 98), Zawaaya (6.5f AW including 2yo; 98), Tawafuq (7.5f; 79) and Taraateel (1m AW; 66); dam 5.5f-1m2f winner (including 6f Group 3; 115), sister to 1m Group 3 winner Wusool; something to like on pedigree and worth monitoring in the market. |
(4) Reposado | | | | | | 2 | David Egan | Dominic Ffrench Davis | March foal by Wootton Bassett; £200,000 yearling; half-brother to winners Trillium (5f/6f 2yo including Group 2; RPR 109), American Kestrel (Group-placed 6.5f 2yo; 105) and Mohawk King (6f-8.5f including 2yo/AW/dirt; 102); dam Group-placed 7f 2yo winner (105); nicely bred colt whose stable did well with 2yo newcomers early last season and had one go in at Wolverhampton last week. |
1st (2) Hawaiian | | | | | | 2 | Sean Levey | Richard Hannon | February foal by Kodiac; first foal; dam 7f AW winner only start (RPR 63), closely related to 7f AW 2yo winner Embrace, half-sister to numerous winners including useful Culturati (6f/7f including 2yo) and Valiant (1m2f) out of 1m Listed/Italian Group 3 winner Whazzis; well worth monitoring in the market for last year's winning stable. |
The market will be crucial with regard to these newcomers. Tropical Storm (second choice) has something to recommend him on breeding and the stable won this in 2021 and 2022, but preference is for REPOSADO who cost a bit and whose stable has already struck with a 2yo newcomer this season.[David Bellingham]
Race 85: 13:50 Ayr Abbott Risk Consulting Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) GB 2m - All Ayr Races
(8) Take A Hike | | | | | | 6 | Kielan Woods | D J Jeffreys | Contested three Irish mares' maiden points, finishing runner-up on the two occasions she completed; 80-1, however, for rules debut in novice hurdle at Ludlow (2m, soft) four weeks ago and that saw her beaten 40l. |
(3) Dorcas Road | | | | | | 6 | Stephen Mulqueen | Lucinda Russell | Well related; however, seventh of 17 in bumper at Warwick (2m, good; 22-1) last April for Ian Williams and tailed off in novice hurdle at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft; 28-1) in November; now has tongue tied. |
(6) Raynbo | | | | | | 5 | Callum Bewley | S R B Crawford | Heavy defeats in four maiden hurdles in the mud, 200-1 at Naas latest. |
(2) Blue Clover | | | | | | 6 | Sean Quinlan | Lizzie Quinlan | Placed in bumpers in 2022 and second at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in April 2023; pulled up last May on latest outing and has left Fergal O'Brien; had wind surgery in February; even on best form, this looks a stiff task. |
4th (1) Anamanda | | | | | | 5 | Danny McMenamin | N W Alexander | Three wins over 1m4f on soft/heavy on the Flat in France, two last year; can't be fancied judged on her two British hurdle races, however. |
2nd (7) Shakeyatailfeather | | | | | | 5 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Started to improve in recent starts, notably on latest when second of 15 in novice at Kempton (2m, good to soft) and she travelled strongly until after two out before keeping on well; should be placed again at the very least and further improvement could see her finish in front. |
1st (5) Lily Du Berlais | | | | | | 8 | J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | Good bumper campaign in Ireland included a Grade 2 mares' win; further Graded races in her first two hurdle races also read well last term but she was pulled up next time and comprehensively turned over when 8-15 at Catterick last month after 332 days off; questions to answer after that but she's still on the shortlist. |
3rd (4) Innatendue | | | | | | 6 | Sean Bowen | John C McConnell | Runner-up in four of 11 races over hurdles, last of those in a maiden at Cheltenham (2m, soft) three starts ago; well beaten trying 2m4f and 2m2f since, last time when experimenting with cheekpieces in a valuable handicap; good chance if this drop back in trip brings her back to form. |
Three mares dominate calculations, with Lily Du Berlais and Innatendue bringing the best form but underperforming on their last two starts, whereas SHAKEYATAILFEATHER has looked a rising force. Dan Skelton's charge gets the vote ahead of the back-down-in-trip Innatendue.[Richard Austen]
Race 86: 13:52 Amiens Prix Henri Levesque - Attele - All Amiens Races
1st (12) Iceman Du Klau | | | | | 6 | David Lefevre | Y Teerlinck | Disappointing form of late and was 8th last time out in Class G at La Capelle on 24 March. Others are much preferred |
2nd (3) Ispahan Team | | | | | 6 | J Ch Piton | G Curens | On a long losing run but was not disgraced when fourth last time out in Class F over this track and trip on 6 April. Not out of it |
4th (9) Imperatrice Love | | | | | 6 | G Houel | G Houel | Holding form well and was third last time out in Class F at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 2550m on 11 January. Can contest the finish once again |
3rd (5) Ilcar Quartma | | | | | 6 | F Ouvrie | M Helbert | Unreliable but did run well when fourth last time out in Class E at Chartres over 2825m on 31 March. Capable of breaking a long losing run |
(1) Iroko Du Nord | | | | | 6 | M Verva | M Verva | Unreliable and was barefoot when fourth last time out in Class E at La Capelle over 2750m on 24 March. Remains barefoot and has a place chance |
(2) Izaak De Nappes | | | | | 6 | E Lelievre | E Lelievre | Very unreliable and was well beaten last time out in Class F at Villedieu-les-Poeles over 2800m on 1 April. Won the penultimate start but is hard to trust |
(4) Iluce De Beaucamps | | | | | 6 | G Desprez | P Desprez | Disappointing recent form and was 11th last time out in Class F at Nancy over 2600m on 30 March. Needs to do more to win this race |
(6) Illico Fligny | | | | | 6 | S Hardy | S Hardy | Unreliable and was 7th last time out in Class E at Argentan over 2875m on 28 March. Capable of better and could make the frame |
(7) Icare Du Douet | | | | | 6 | S Rousselle | S Rousselle | Unreliable and was clearly in need of the run when 9th last time out in Class E at Chartres over 2825m on 31 March. Capable of improvement but others are preferred |
(8) Idyllic Dream | | | | | 6 | Mlle Victoire Besnier | F Terry | Has some ability but is coming off two disqualifications with the latest being at Saint Malo on 26 November. Could need this run returning from a break |
(10) Ivo Sived | | | | | 6 | L Baudouin | R Devis | Has lost his way of late and was disqualified last time out at La Capelle on 24 March. Others are preferred |
(11) Izquierdo | | | | | 6 | A Garandeau | Vitale Ciotola | Unreliable but did run well when runner-up last time out in Class G at La Capelle over 2700m on 7 April. Capable of earning some more money |
(13) Irma De L'Eclair | | | | | 6 | T Le Beller | N Catherine | Disappointing last run when 6th last time out in Class E at Argentan over 2875m on 28 March. In good form before that and can bounce back to win |
(14) Ivajale | | | | | 6 | Laurent Verva | L Verva | On a very long losing run but did show improvement when fourth last time out in Class G at La Capelle over 2700m on 7 April. More is needed to win this race |
IRMA DE L'ECLAIR (13) was in good form before a disappointing last run. She has leading claims on best form. ILCAR QUARTMA (5) is unreliable but ran well last time out and could be ready to break a long losing run. IMPERATRICE LOVE (9) is holding form well and should be in the mix of things once again. ISPAHAN TEAM (3) is another that is on a long losing streak but also has a winning chance in a very open-looking race.
Race 87: 13:55 Fairview Racehorse Owners Association Fm 66 Handicap (f & M)(For Fillies and Mares) SAF 6f - All Fairview Races
1st (6) Kilmonivaig | | | | | 4 | R Danielson | T J Laing | Soundly beaten when fifth in a fillies handicap latest at Fairview Polytrack; a regular here; achieved only a sole win; opposable |
2nd (11) Jade's Caberneigh | | | | | 4 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Only win came on all-weather but producing consistent form; finished fourth dropped back to 5f in a fillies handicap when not beaten too far last month here |
3rd (7) The Lady Love | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Has won here before; finished runner-up dropped back to 5f two weeks ago; down in class and likely to take plenty of beating |
4th (13) De Janeiro | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | On a lengthy losing run; disappointing to see her finish sixth latest given market expectations in a fillies handicap (over 7f here) on her second outing for this trainer; now competing off a lower mark; no surprise to see her go well if replicating best efforts |
(1) Miss Shaivi | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Had a couple of these behind her when fourth here (fillies handicap) 14 days ago on debut for new trainer; largely disappointing since successful in a fillies maiden juvenile plate at Greyville last May; she shouldn't be far away |
(2) Komesans Passion | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | G D Smith | Well held 12th of 16 over C&D (fillies handicap) latest; has won here before but not really built on success in a fillies maiden plate last June at Fairview; others more appealing |
(3) Variety Breeze | | | | | 6 | T Mayhew | J P Nel | A long time since her last success; upped to 6½f in a fillies handicap last month when well held finishing third at Fairview Polytrack; has a chance |
(4) Lady Chatterley | | | | | 3 | K Minnie | A C Greeff | Registered first success scoring narrowly on first run for her current trainer last month at Fairview Polytrack; first run in a handicap |
(5) Piton De Neige | | | | | 3 | C Maujean | D A McKenzie | Finished tenth, beaten a fair distance, over C&D two weeks ago (fillies handicap); recorded her sole career win on all-weather and not made much of an impact recently in handicaps; she can be taken on |
(8) Fairy Circle | | | | | 3 | M V'Rensburg | W G C Miller | Not always shown an awful lot since winning a fillies maiden plate at Turffontein Standside five months ago; towards the rear beaten 21l (fillies handicap) latest at Vaal (dropped to 7f); makes debut for stable; looks no easy task but needs headgear to galvanise her |
(9) Mediteraneangoddes | | | | | 5 | D Schwarz | E Kaknis | Towards the rear of 13 (fillies handicap) here (5f) 42 days ago; recorded her sole career win on all-weather; handicapper easing the burden; hard to entertain |
(10) Jambo Sana | | | | | 3 | S Naidoo | G D Smith | Sole career win came on all-weather and generally modest form since fillies maiden juvenile plate success at Fairview Polytrack last May; found life tough when just over 5l back in seventh in a fillies handicap here (5f) last month; has eased in the weights; not hard to turn elsewhere |
(12) Kileigh's Fate | | | | | 6 | P Mxoli | J V A Strydom | Finished towards the rear of 14 over C&D two weeks ago (fillies handicap) on her second outing for this trainer; all four wins going right handed; blinkers return after left off last time but looks opposable |
THE LADY LOVE is top of the list. She bids for a second course success. Variety Breeze is capable of running well but the losing run is disheartening while De Janeiro poses a big threat, and Miss Shaivi is likely to be popular with punters.
Race 88: 14:00 Fontwell Follow Us On X @yeeehaaabet Handicap Chase (0-120) (4) 5yo+ GB 2m 5f 135y - All Fontwell Races
5th (5) Tango Echo Charlie | | | | | | 10 | Charlie Hammond | Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | Successful chase debut over C&D (good) last August but has gone into reverse in two starts since, pulled up each time; has it to prove on first run since November. |
(6) Ticking Tom Bomb | | | | | | 8 | Brendan Powell | Joe Tizzard | Modest point form; two quite encouraging hurdle runs for new yard but he let favourite backers down on his handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) and 3m on heavy ground was no good to him next time, either; now tongue tied but he goes chasing with a query against him. |
2nd (2) Fix At All | | | | | | 8 | Richie McLernon | Neil Mulholland | Had some good results in hunter chases last spring (about 2m4f; good to soft and good); hasn't found it easy in handicaps for current yard but has been running in a higher grade and wasn't far away when last seen at Market Rasen in September; considered despite having fitness to prove. |
4th (4) Tip Top Mountain | | | | | | 9 | Bryan Carver | Robert Walford | Two wins from five chase starts here; below best at Haydock latest but that might have come too soon following his 3m2f win here last month; has won on good ground but prefers good to soft or slower and this might not be enough of a test for him. |
(1) Hardy Fella | | | | | | 7 | Tom Bellamy | Emma Lavelle | Has won a 3m hurdle but chase win came over 2m3f here (heavy; acts on good); no great progress since that November win and his lack of fluency contributed to him being pulled up some way out at Ludlow last time; chancy. |
3rd (7) Joe Cotton | | | | | | 6 | Rex Dingle | Jeremy Scott | Struggled with testing going in points, where two wins came on good to firm and good to soft, but he handled heavy ground better than any in a recent slugfest on handicap debut at Exeter (2m3f); needs to show how that hard race has affected him and he now wears cheekpieces but he does have potential even allowing for the 10lb rise. |
1st (3) Dreaming Blue | | | | | | 7 | Ben Godfrey | Anthony Honeyball | Four course runs and has won two of them, most recently when forging clear in his first chase here, over 2m2f (heavy) three weeks ago; back up 5lb but not weighted out of it on his form off this mark at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last spring; seriously competitive. |
It wasn't easy for Joe Cotton or DREAMING BLUE despite their wide-margin wins last time out but there's a good chance that both will appreciate the drying ground and the latter is just preferred, given his good course record. Fix At All lacks a recent run but he is down in grade and is another who will find the going to his liking.[Emily Weber]
Race 89: 14:10 Saint-Cloud Prix Cleopatre - Group 3 - All Saint-Cloud Races
1st (7) Halfday | | | | | 3 | M Guyon | C Laffon-Parias | Confirmed the promise of her debut 2nd over 1900m on the PSF at Deauville by winning over 1600m on PSF at Chantilly on 22 December. Warrants respect on her reappearance in her first start on turf |
2nd (3) Fun With Flags | | | | | 3 | A Pouchin | J Reynier | Undefeated in three outings and was impressive in winning a 2000m Listed race on her reappearance at this venue on 7 March. One to beat |
(1) Paraiba | | | | | 3 | M Barzalona | F Graffard | Promising debut winner on the PSF at Deauville over 1900m on 5 November. Could be anything returning from a subsequent absence |
(2) Keen Approach | | | | | 3 | C Demuro | L Pontoir | Made a winning reappearance over 1900m on the PSF at Deauville and confirmed that form/improvement by finishing 3rd in a 2000m Listed race on this course on 7 March |
(4) Make A Wish | | | | | 3 | S Ruis | C Escuder | Consistent and versatile last-start winner over 2200m at Fontainebleau on 15 March. Her experience ought to stand her in good stead |
(5) Magestic Moon | | | | | 3 | H Lebouc | G Dumont | Built on the promise of her debut 5th on the PSF over 1500m at Deauville by finishing 3rd over 1900m on PSF at Deauville on 19 January. Could improve improve on turf for the first time |
(6) War Chimes | | | | | 3 | M Velon | D Menuisier | Impressive wide-margin winner of the 1800m Listed Prix Isonomy at Chantilly on 27 October. Not taken lightly on her reappearance |
Unbeaten FUN WITH FLAGS (3) has been impressive in winning each of her three starts and, like her training companion Lazzat not so long ago, could preserve her 100% record and win the first Group race of her career. WAR CHIMES (6) also impressed with a wide-margin victory in a Listed race last year and is likely to lead the opposition, ahead of unbeaten debut winner PARAIBA (1) who could be anything on her reappearance. Promising HALFDAY (7) isn't without a chance either on her reappearance.
Race 90: 14:12 Newbury Dubai Duty Free Handicap (0-95) (3) 4yo+ GB 6f - All Newbury Races
4th (7) Spanish Star | | | | | | 9 | David Probert | Patrick Chamings | Better than ever as an 8yo last year, winning handicaps at Goodwood (6f) and Epsom (7f); 6f on slow ground ideal but he's returning to action off a 2lb higher mark then when sixth in this race last year. |
(8) Indian Creak | | | | | | 7 | Nicola Currie | Jack Channon | Won three 6f handicaps on ground slower than good; 2lb higher than for the latest of them and he's come on for his reappearance in each of the last two seasons. |
(17) Safari Dream | | | | | | 4 | Joe Fanning | Rod Millman | Should step forward with his reappearance behind him but all his winning has been done at 5f; 6f on slow ground may stretch his stamina. |
(13) Buccabay | | | | | | 4 | Mia Nicholls | Eve Johnson Houghton | His two turf wins have come on good or faster (promise on good to soft); went close off this mark at Kempton in October but even that will need bettering if he's to come out on top. |
(12) Justcallmepete | | | | | | 5 | Oisin Murphy | James Evans | Good record on AW but he's 0-10 on turf; lower rated in this sphere but he's been shown his best turf form on good or quicker; Oisin Murphy a good booking but he'll need the ground to dry out. |
(15) Holkham Bay | | | | | | 4 | Saffie Osborne | William Knight | Possibly just circumstance at this stage but he has shown his best form on AW; this mark not beyond him but could probably do with the ground drying out. |
2nd (11) Chairmanoftheboard | | | | | | 8 | Connor Beasley | Jack Channon | 6f on slow ground ideal and he's on a good mark; that's been the case for a while though and you have to go back to October 2021 for the last of his four wins; should be sharper for last month's reappearance; place claims. |
(14) Aplomb | | | | | | 8 | David Egan | Jane Chapple-Hyam | Losing run goes back to 2020 but he regularly caught the eye with strong finishes in 6f handicaps last year; resumes on a good mark and can surely pop up at some point this year. |
3rd (2) Bosh | | | | | | 5 | Joe Leavy | Richard Hannon | C&D winner as a 2yo; back in peak form on AW this winter, winning 6f handicaps at Chelmsford and Lingfield in 2024; 3lb rise for latest narrow win could find him out and he could probably do with the ground drying out. |
1st (3) Wiltshire | | | | | | 4 | Tom Marquand | William Haggas | Ran six times for the Meades, winning twice on AW but unplaced in four turf runs (best effort over 7f on good); still has potential and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the betting on his stable debut (sold for 92,000gns last October). |
(5) Billyjoh | | | | | | 4 | Frederick Larson | Michael Appleby | Progressive sprinter; doesn't help himself with slow starts but he ran another solid race when fourth in a red-hot AW handicap at Newcastle on Good Friday (6f); handles good and soft turf; should have a nice prize in him this summer. |
(6) Gisburn | | | | | | 5 | Sean Levey | Richard Hannon | Ended his losing run when getting up late in a Goodwood handicap (6f, soft) last October (first run after a gelding operation); good efforts on AW on his next two starts; below par on New Year's Day but he returns to turf on a fair mark and conditions should suit; should go well. |
(10) Divine Libra | | | | | | 4 | William Buick | Charles Hills | Still has low mileage and his two wins have come on slow ground; near miss at Newmarket off 2lb lower last summer; gelded since last seen; more to come this year and should make his mark at this level. |
5th (9) Knebworth | | | | | | 4 | Ethan Jones | Richard Hughes | Second in a red-hot AW handicap on his reappearance and stepped forward from that when winning at Doncaster last month (6f, soft; cheekpieces first time); backward step at Kempton 13 days ago but likely to give his running. |
(4) Fresh | | | | | | 7 | Daniel Tudhope | James Fanshawe | Classy handicapper in his time but just flashes of his former glory in a quiet 2023 campaign; now 8lb lower than when a close fifth in the Wokingham and his Kempton return should have blown away the cobwebs; all ground comes alike to him and he's capable of a big run. |
(16) Bernardo O'Reilly | | | | | | 10 | Sean D Bowen | Richard Spencer | Veteran who benefited from the pace collapsing in the corresponding event last year, sweeping home to defy a 5lb higher mark; last month's return at Doncaster should have brought him on and he's likely to be arriving on the scene late; yard going well. |
(1) Grand Traverse | | | | | | 4 | Hollie Doyle | Archie Watson | 7f winner on soft ground for Andre Fabre last spring; absent for 312 days prior to his stable debut at Newcastle (6f) last month and he made a mockery of his opening mark, always prominent and coming home clear of his eight rivals (well backed); up 8lb but unexposed as a sprinter and there could well be more in the tank. |
Bernardo O'Reilly has conditions to suit and turns up 5lb lower than when sweeping through late to win the corresponding event 12 months ago. He's high on the list, along with the frustrating pair Aplomb and Chairmanoftheboard, while Fresh and the intriguing Wiltshire also have something to recommend them. The preferred four on a long shortlist are Gisburn, Billyjoh, Divine Libra (second choice) and GRAND TRAVERSE and Archie Watson's 4yo is a fascinating contender. He'll need to be bordering on Listed class to give the weight away but the manner of his Newcastle win last month, along with his market strength that day, offers hope that might be the case. A winner on soft ground in France, he tanked through that Newcastle contest and looks one to keep on the right side.[Paul Smith]
Race 91: 14:20 Ayr Get Home Safe With Thistle Cabs Handicap Hurdle (0-125) (3) 4yo+ GB 3m 70y - All Ayr Races
(1) Barbados Buck's | | | | | | 9 | William Maggs | Daragh Bourke | Won three-runner handicap at Carlisle in December (off 3lb higher) on second stable start, but unable to threaten on his three starts since and needs to raise his game in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces). |
(7) Scipion | | | | | | 8 | Sam Coltherd | Stuart Coltherd | This 8yo may not be as good as he once was but his near-13l fourth at Kelso (3m2f, soft) last month was a step back in the right direction, and it was his first outing for 84 days so he may be able to build on it; he's well treated on chase form as recent as last April and is no forlorn hope. |
(8) Brandy McQueen | | | | | | 7 | Edward Austin | Harriet Graham & Gary Rutherford | Something to prove regarding current form having struggled over fences on his last few starts, but he could appreciate today's return to hurdling and he's handicapped to be competitive if bouncing back to his best. |
(5) War Soldier | | | | | | 7 | Ryan Mania | Sandy Thomson | Tailed off at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) in February and hard to be overly confident on the back of that; however, earlier that month he stayed on well to win there (2m3f, soft) when back up in trip, and stamina also looked a strength in a 3m point in 2021; no surprise if he's in the mix. |
(13) Call Me Harry | | | | | | 7 | Danny McMenamin | Iain Jardine | Won at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in November and went close there on New Year's Day (3m, soft); he's a contender on that form but he's been below par at Musselburgh the last twice (pulled up most recently). |
2nd (12) Herakles Westwood | | | | | | 7 | Harry Cobden | Warren Greatrex | Left November's handicap/seasonal debut well behind to win his next three (2m3f/2m5f, good to soft-heavy); merely fourth the last twice (2m5f/2m3f, soft), however, and he needs something extra now up in trip. |
(2) Wonderwall | | | | | | 8 | Sean Bowen | Peter Bowen | Continues to drop down the weights but he weakened quickly and was pulled up at Sandown last time when upped to 2m7f; there's a big stamina question to answer this afternoon. |
(3) Castle Rushen | | | | | | 9 | Brian Hughes | Nicky Richards | 9yo who is 0-11 since winning his first two hurdle starts in autumn 2020 and he hasn't been at his best on either outing this term; however, he could be working his way back to form and is well treated on last season's best efforts; not discounted. |
(10) Hashtag Boum | | | | | | 7 | Jamie Hamilton | Ruth Jefferson | Won modest Class 4 handicap at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) in February and fair fourth at Haydock (3m, soft) last time, when perhaps not seen to best effect with half the hurdles omitted; however, improvement is required if she's to threaten in this competitive Class 3. |
(17) Phil De Pail | | | | | | 7 | Henry Brooke | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Needs to produce more than he's managed this year on his two starts since returning from a long absence, but he travelled well last time and perhaps the reapplication of a tongue-tie will help; he's well handicapped judged on his spring 2022 staying promise and is not a forlorn hope. |
(11) Taras Halls | | | | | | 6 | Nick Scholfield | Sue Smith | Soundly beaten in mid-division on handicap debut in EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last month, and no match for the winner in Market Rasen maiden (2m4f, good to soft) last time; however, he showed staying potential when runner-up to two useful winners in January (2m4f/2m3f, soft/good), and today's step up in trip could be a positive move for this 6yo. |
3rd (6) Whistle Stop Tour | | | | | | 6 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | 3m point winner (soft to heavy) who won on his hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, soft) and returned to form to land another novice here (2m4f, good to soft) last month, powering ahead close home; this lightly raced 6yo has potential now upped in trip for his return to handicap company. |
4th (14) One Eye On Vegas | | | | | | 7 | Ciaran Gethings | Stuart Edmunds | A big improver since these cheekpieces went on, winning two in a row (2m4f/2m3f, soft) before a solid third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) last month; his trainer continues to enjoy a fantastic season and his pedigree provides optimism he'll be suited by today's step up in trip; one to consider. |
5th (16) Shoeshine Boy | | | | | | 8 | Craig Nichol | Donald Whillans | Won over C&D (soft) in February and followed up at Kelso (3m2f, soft) last month; didn't run badly when fifth at Haydock (3m, soft) last time but his form needs to go to a new level if he's to win this. |
(9) Ten Lengths Tom | | | | | | 5 | Stan Sheppard | Tom Lacey | Bumper winner who scored at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in November on second hurdle start and was runner-up at Exeter (2m, heavy) last time; begins handicap life on a fair mark and this very lightly raced 5yo could improve for the step up in trip; in good hands to progress and on the shortlist. |
(4) Mt Fugi Park | | | | | | 6 | Jonjo O'Neill Jr | Jonjo O'Neill | Point winner who won first two hurdle starts (2m6f/2m4f, good to soft/heavy) and bounced back from Grade 2 flop with fair fourth on last month's handicap debut at Newbury (3m, good to soft); stayed on well last time and there'll be greater emphasis on stamina in today's ground; in the shake-up. |
1st (15) Catch Him Derry | | | | | | 6 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Won when upped markedly in trip on handicap debut at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in January and second of six at Bangor (2m7f, heavy) in February, when clear with stablemate Gwennie May Boy who has won his next two (latest at Aintree on Saturday); looks well treated up 5lb for last time. |
Gwennie May Boy has won twice (including a hot handicap at Aintree on Saturday) since beating stablemate CATCH HIM DERRY (nap) into second at Bangor in February, suggesting the Dan Skelton-trained 6yo is well handicapped off today's 5lb higher mark. Stuart Edmunds continues to enjoy an excellent season and his lightly raced 7yo One Eye On Vegas is second choice, ahead of War Soldier who could relish the step up in trip. The extra yardage may also prompt improvement from Taras Halls and Whistle Stop Tour, while Mt Fugi Park and Ten Lengths Tom are others who could run well.[Ben Hutton]
Race 92: 14:25 Fairview Racing240 For Racing. For You Pinnacle Stakes (f & M)(For Fillies and Mares) SAF 6f - All Fairview Races
3rd (11) Princess Deb'S | | | | | 5 | C Maujean | D A McKenzie | Finished tenth dropped to 5f (Fairview Polytrack) 38 days ago; has won here before; has a lot of course experience; unlikely to pose a threat |
2nd (2) Gimme's Lassie | | | | | 4 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Fifth behind Three Rocks over C&D in a fillies Listed race two months ago; has not been in the winners' enclosure for a while now; first start for new trainer; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and should prove competitive |
1st (1) Three Rocks | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Claimed a second CD win two months ago when successful by 1l; has strong claims now dropping in class |
(3) Golden Pacific | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Second favourite but out of the money at Fairview Polytrack three weeks ago; has won here before; not the biggest surprise to see her go well |
(4) Ancient Epic | | | | | 5 | D Schwarz | M L Turner | Ninth of 12 at Fairview Polytrack last month on first run for her current trainer; not hard to turn elsewhere |
(5) Passchendaele | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | Won by 3l second time out for this trainer last month (Fairview Polytrack, dropped to 6½f), readily accounting for Summer Odyssey; ought to be competitive |
(6) Summer Odyssey | | | | | 3 | X Ndlovu | A C Greeff | Has won here but no winning form at this distance; not disgraced when sixth last month when dropped to 5f at Fairview Polytrack |
(7) Aunty Lizzy | | | | | 5 | P Mxoli | J V A Strydom | Not beaten too far at 25-1 when seventh of 12 (Fairview Polytrack) 21 days ago on her second outing for this trainer; has not been in the winners' enclosure for a while now; hard enough to fancy |
(8) Oriental Bouquet | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | A C Greeff | Behind a bunch of these on her first start for this trainer last month (Fairview Polytrack) when finishing tenth of 12; looks vulnerable |
(9) Lady Majorca | | | | | 3 | D Ashby | J P Nel | Soundly beaten when eighth in a stakes race here (7f) two weeks ago despite a favourable draw; has winning form at this course; far from solid |
(10) European Summer | | | | | 5 | M V'Rensburg | E Kaknis | Fair effort 21 days ago at Fairview Polytrack, finishing in front of several of these; has won here before and has a couple of good recent course efforts to her name |
THREE ROCKS is a firm tip. She is taken to confirm placings with Gimme's Lassie, Golden Pacific and Summer Odyssey and has won twice over this CD.
Race 93: 14:27 Amiens Prix Jacques Brion - Attele - All Amiens Races
4th (5) Ecume De Furetais | | | | | 10 | C Chenu | C Chenu | On a very long losing run and was 8th last time out in Class E at Challans over 2900m on 17 March. Others are preferred |
3rd (12) Helios Si | | | | | 7 | S Hardy | S Hardy | Unreliable but did run well when runner-up last time out in Class E at Challans over 2900m on 17 March. Can contest the finish |
2nd (10) Gys | | | | | 8 | F Ouvrie | E Beauvais | Unreliable of late and was 7th last time out in Class D at Vincennes over 2700m on 5 April. Versatile distance-wise and is not out of it |
1st (1) Hudo Du Ruel | | | | | 7 | A Lherete | Antoine Lherete | Two wins in his last four starts and was third last time out in Class D at Enghien over 2150m on 8 March. Should fight out the finish again |
(2) Falcon D'Ourville | | | | | 9 | Francois Lecathelinais | E Varin | Has been struggling for some time now and was tenth last time out in Class D at Caen over 2450m on 11 March. Needs to find a few lengths to win this race |
(3) Easy Atout | | | | | 10 | A Garandeau | M Varin | On a very long losing run and was 5th last time out in Class D at Enghien over 2150m on 8 March. Could play a minor role |
(4) Gadget Du Gade | | | | | 8 | M Gyre | J F Senet | Disappointing recent form and was tenth last time out in Class D at Vincennes over 2850m on 16 December. Has ability but might need this run returning from a break |
(6) Franceville | | | | | 9 | Cedric Terry | F Terry | Has struggled this year and was 9th in Class B last time out at Toulouse over 2325m on 12 April. Capable of an upset dropped in class |
(7) Grec D'Havaroche | | | | | 8 | L Baudouin | J M Baudouin | Very consistent of late and was third last time out in Class E at Challans over 2900m on 17 March. Can contest the finish once again |
(8) Glorieuse Carnois | | | | | 8 | L Roelens | L Roelens | Very hard to trust and has major disqualification issues with the latest disqualification last time out at Enghien on 26 March. Can surprise if wise |
(9) Garde A Vous | | | | | 8 | M Verva | V Lebarque | Unreliable of late and was 7th last time out in Class D at Cavaillon over 2525m on 9 April. Others are preferred |
(11) Harmoniously | | | | | 7 | David Lefevre | P Picot | Proved in need of the run when 12th last time out in Class D at Vincennes over 2700m on 5 April. Fitter now and could be the surprise package of the race |
(13) Eclair De Kerosay | | | | | 10 | J Ch Piton | E T Lefranc | Disappointing recent form and was 7th last time out in Class F at Cholet over 2800m on 1 April. Needs to do more to win this race |
(14) Gordon Mijack | | | | | 8 | L Peschet | L Peschet | Only modest for this year and was 5th last time out in a Mounted race at Laval over 2850m on 14 March. Needs to do more to win this race |
HUDO DU RUEL (1) remains in very good form and takes on many out-of-form rivals. He should make a bold bid at scoring in this lucky last race. GREC D'HAVAROCHE (7) has been very consistent of late and could be the main threat. GYS (10) and HELIOS SI (12) are unreliable but both look capable of contesting the finish if at their best.
Race 94: 14:30 Fontwell Yeeehaaa.Bet Handicap Hurdle (0-105) (5) 4yo+ GB 2m 1f 162y - All Fontwell Races
8th (16) Onnaroll | | | | | | 6 | Charlie Price | Cynthia Woods | 15-race maiden; runner-up from 12lb out of the handicap over C&D (66-1) in September; has failed to better that in six subsequent starts, so it isn't all that difficult to focus on others for the solution; 10lb wrong. |
9th (9) Ray's The One | | | | | | 7 | James Best | Mark Pattinson | Last hurdles win came over C&D (good) in December 2022, having also won the same contest the previous year; nowhere near that level in recent times, finishing a remote fourth of five at Plumpton (2m4f; first time tongue-tie) 39 days ago; plenty to prove. |
(13) Privatory | | | | | | 6 | Luke Scott | Paddy Butler | Made a solid start to his career (two hurdle wins) but has found life tough going since, plummeting down the weights; seventh of 14 (beaten 25l) on final start for Gary Moore at Plumpton in January; 4lb lower on first go for Paddy Butler. |
5th (12) Executive Pool | | | | | | 5 | Niall Houlihan | Gary Moore | Idled when justifying favouritism at Hereford (2m, good to soft) last April; failed to kick on positively over hurdles, and hasn't exactly relished the recent switch to fences either; easing mark returning to hurdles; stablemate of Tara Iti and Bridge. |
11th (4) Rocco Royale | | | | | | 6 | Richie McLernon | Jonjo O'Neill | All downhill since winning a 2m3f maiden here (soft; 11-10 favourite) last April; has eased a further 4lb since pulling up at Market Rasen (2m7f, heavy) last month; set to encounter better ground dropping back markedly in trip. |
(1) Hallwood | | | | | | 7 | Tom Bellamy | Mark Rimell | Sprung a 40-1 surprise when winning a Carlisle maiden (2m1f, good to soft; first time tongue-tie) last February; struggled since and continues to fall in the weights; back in trip for first start since wind surgery. |
6th (5) Gieves | | | | | | 6 | Liam Harrison | Ben Pauling | The combination of a first-time hood and more patient tactics were offered as an explanation for the improved form shown when a clearcut winner at Worcester (2m maiden) in September; has run to a similar level (on RPR's) over further since; probably a shade high in the handicap. |
4th (14) The Cox Express | | | | | | 5 | Bryan Carver | Robert Walford | Warwick bumper winner (January 2023); hasn't offered much in seven attempts over hurdles, although did manage to finish third of eight over 2m3f here (beaten 8.75l) on penultimate start; safer options lie elsewhere. |
(3) Beat The Heat | | | | | | 7 | Gavin Sheehan | Jim Boyle | Won three times over hurdles here (2m1f-2m3f) in 2022, but has undertaken the majority of his racing on the Flat since, winning a Class 6 handicap at Bath (1m6f) last summer; possibly sharper for recent Flat comeback run; prudent to consult the market. |
(8) Tara Iti | | | | | | 6 | Rob Hargreaves | Gary Moore | Usually a force to be reckoned with at Fontwell (form figures 44121) and sits 4lb lower than scoring over C&D last summer; tailed off when last seen at Lingfield in February, but freshened up by a break since; one of three for Gary Moore. |
3rd (2) John Betjeman | | | | | | 8 | Fergus Gillard | Mark Gillard | All three wins have come at Ffos Las (2m); placed at Wincanton on Boxing Day, and again at Huntingdon (2m, good) last time, without necessarily looking poised to take advantage of a continually easing mark. |
(6) Trevor's Lad | | | | | | 6 | Tom Cannon | Toby Lawes | Placed in C&D novice on debut in November 2022 but less productive at Plumpton two months later and absent since; low-mileage, but does have questions to answer switching to handicap company for belated reappearance. |
10th (15) What's My Line | | | | | | 7 | Rex Dingle | Michael Madgwick | Profile implies that he's most proficient over shorter trips (won over 2m at Lingfield in November), so his latest modest third over 2m5f here can be excused; is capable from this kind of mark, but will probably find a few of the others stronger. |
2nd (10) Bridge | | | | | | 4 | Caoilin Quinn | Gary Moore | Off the mark in a weak juvenile maiden over C&D (soft) on Boxing Day; ran to a similar level when placed in handicap company (Southwell and Lingfield) on his next two appearances, before struggling at Sandown; tendency to race too freely remains a worry; one of three for Gary Moore. |
7th (11) Macari | | | | | | 4 | Marc Goldstein | Sheena West | Improved since sent handicapping; accounted for the subsequent Taunton scorer Soir De Gala (runs later today at Exeter) when off the mark over a similar trip at Plumpton 18 days ago; 8lb higher, although still 3lb well in, as he bids to double-up; rock-solid credentials. |
1st (7) Solar System | | | | | | 5 | Ben Jones | Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | Raced too freely when upped in trip for handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, soft; third of 14; 7-2 joint-favourite) last month; has to be of interest now dropping back in distance in newly applied headgear; one of the likeliest candidates. |
With his recent Plumpton success well advertised, the handicapper has taken swift action in an attempt to thwart the forward momentum of Macari. Sheena West's charge has rock-solid credentials, and is still 3lb well in, in a very winnable contest. However, with a hood now applied to curb his natural enthusiasm, there could also be significantly more to come from the J P McManus-owned SOLAR SYSTEM (nap). [Mark Rowntree]
Race 95: 14:42 Newbury Dreweatts Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race) GB 1m 2f - All Newbury Races
11th (1) Ardara Rose | | | | | | 3 | Alec Voikhansky | Richard Hannon | Always behind at Kempton (1m, AW; 15-2) in September and Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in October; best watched for now. |
14th (6) Cavriana | | | | | | 3 | Hollie Doyle | Brian Meehan | Tailed off over 1m at Ascot (good) in September and Lingfield (AW; 150-1) 11 days ago. |
10th (9) Hope Rising | | | | | | 3 | David Egan | Charles Hills | 40-1, showed a bit of promise after slow start in novice at Kempton (7f, AW) in October but beaten 14l, so it's low-level form. |
13th (7) Chelsea Flower | | | | | | 3 | David Probert | Jack Channon | 25,000gns yearling, 30,000euros May 2yo; third foal; Showcasing half-sister to 1m winner Broadspear (RPR 88); dam placed at 1m1f in France, closely related to 1m6f-2m winner Falak, half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Dundonnell out of unraced sister to top sprinter/sire Danehill; trainer had a newcomer win this race at 33-1 last year. |
7th (14) Panthera | | | | | | 3 | Kyle Strydom | David Menuisier | By Cracksman; second foal; sister to French 1m2f/10.5f winner Cracksmania (including Listed; RPR 86); dam French Group-placed 10.5f/1m4f winner (103), sister to German 1m3f Group 3 winner Pagera; trainer had the 80-1 runner-up with a newcomer in this race in 2022; one of many to respect on paper. |
1st (16) Sinology | | | | | | 3 | Luke Morris | David Simcock | Fifth foal; Study Of Man half-sister to four winners, notably useful pair Ching Shih and Oriental Mystique, out of 1m4f Group 1 winner; 16-1, fair form when never-dangerous fifth of ten in novice at Newmarket (7f, heavy) in November and she could be a major improver this term. |
9th (8) Galaxy Princess | | | | | | 3 | Richard Kingscote | Ralph Beckett | By Ribchester; tenth foal; half-sister to five winners including Oklahoma City (Group-placed 6f/7f 2yo; RPR 106), Cosmic Princess (1m2f; 96), Neenee's Choice (1m/1m2f; 94) and Cogital (1m4f-2m; 86); unraced dam closely related to top stayer Kayf Tara; one of two runners from her strong yard. |
4th (12) Miss Alpilles | | | | | | 3 | Saffie Osborne | Ed Walker | Well related; green but close third of five in novice at Newcastle in February; disappointing favourite there (again 1m, AW) four weeks ago, so best watched for now despite her useful middle-distance pedigree. |
8th (13) Molten Sea | | | | | | 3 | Daniel Tudhope | William Haggas | By Too Darn Hot; fourth foal; half-sister to 1m AW 2yo/1m2f turf winner Morning Poem (RPR 97); dam 1m4f and Listed 1m6f winner (104), sister to 1m4f winner Suhaili, half-sister to 1m2f Group 2 winner Monturani and 6f/7f Listed winner Monnavanna; her top yard also runs Bittalemon. |
5th (2) Balletic | | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | Ralph Beckett | 100,000gns yearling; 17-2, about 10l fourth of five in novice at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last June, slowly away and green; off since and others have shown a good deal more. |
12th (15) Seamore | | | | | | 3 | Sean Levey | Richard Hannon | 170,000euros buy last May; 9-1, about 2l fourth of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (1m, AW) 15 days ago, coming from towards the rear in promising style; bred to be suited by at least this far; considered each-way. |
(3) Beatrice Shilling | | | | | | 3 | James Doyle | Peter Chapple-Hyam | 140,000gns yearling with useful middle-distance pedigree; second favourite for novice at Leicester (1m, good to soft) last October, launching a challenge from over 2f out but readily seen off by the favourite; that second of eight was fair form and this Oaks entry can improve. |
6th (5) Bittalemon | | | | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | William Haggas | 320,000gns foal; third foal; half-sister to 1m AW 2yo/1m4f turf winner Bizarre Law (RPR 91); dam 1m AW 2yo winner (72), sister to Canadian 1m4f Grade 1 winner Cannock Chase and 1m2f Group 2 winner Pisco Sour, half-sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner Star Catcher; Dubawi filly from a top yard which runs two; one to note. |
2nd (11) Magic Dream | | | | | | 3 | William Buick | Charlie Appleby | By Shamardal; third foal; closely related to 7f winner Spring Promise (including German Listed; RPR 101), half-sister to 6f-1m winner Naval Crown (including Group 1; 121); dam French 7f/1m winner (104) out of 1m2f Listed winner; one to take seriously with powerful connections. |
(4) Beeley | | | | | | 3 | Kieran Shoemark | John & Thady Gosden | Stoutly bred; made a promising debut in maiden at Nottingham (1m, heavy) last October, going down by a whisker having stuck on well; 6-4 there two weeks later but unseated and got loose and was withdrawn; Oaks entry whose debut puts her top on ratings and her stable has a fine record in this race. |
3rd (10) Lasting Love | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | 300,000gns yearling; has a good middle-distance pedigree and her debut third of 11 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, soft) in September, rallying strongly, showed plenty of ability and promise; Oaks entry who is on the shortlist. |
Top of the list on the limited racecourse evidence is LASTING LOVE who shaped so well at Doncaster in September. It's Beeley who's top rated and she hails from the Gosden yard which has won four of the last eight runnings, but her second racecourse appearance didn't go so well as she got loose. She's still feared most, although the newcomers are a promising bunch on paper and they may be headed by Magic Dream and Bittalemon given the strength of their yards.[Richard Austen]
Race 96: 14:45 Saint-Cloud Pas De Deux Maiden Stakes - All Saint-Cloud Races
2nd (6) Vcte De Jodelet | | | | | 3 | C Belmont | A Fabre | Cesar Belmont takes 2,5kg off the back of this Andre Fabre-trained Kitten's Joy colt on debut. Dark horse |
1st (4) Ocean Viking | | | | | 3 | M Barzalona | A Fabre | Godolphin's Farhh colt with a Group I Prix du Jockey Club entry. Mickael Barzalona rides for Andre Fabre |
(1) Shadirwan | | | | | 3 | S Pasquier | F Graffard | Kingman gelding trained by Francis-Henri Graffard, who has engaged Stephane Pasquier to ride this son of a mare whose dam placed several times at Group II level |
(2) Soho House | | | | | 3 | C Demuro | F Chappet | Well-bred Fabrice Chappet-trained Sea The Star colt with an attractive pedigree. One to note on debut with Cristian Demuro aboard |
(3) Lanzelot Gold | | | | | 3 | M Guyon | J Carvalho | Maxime Guyon is a notable jockey booking on this Toronado colt from the stable of Jean-Pierre Carvalho |
(5) Wingtip | | | | | 3 | A Crastus | S Cerulis | Stephane Cerulis-trained Twirling Candy colt to be ridden on debut by Anthony Crastus. Not taken lightly |
(7) Avedon | | | | | 3 | Eddy Hardouin | D Smaga | David Smaga-trained Demarchelier colt whose dam, Thais, distinguished herself at the highest level in the United States. Eddy Hardouin rides |
(8) Soberano Cen | | | | | 3 | A Lemaitre | Chr Head | Ten Sovereigns colt from the powerful yard of Christopher Head. Warrants respect on debut with Aurelien Lemaitre engaged |
A newcomers' race in which Group I classic entry OCEAN VIKING (4), closely related to a Listed winner in Norway, seems the one to side with. SHADIRWAN (1), who runs in the interests of His Highness Aga Khan, is also a candidate for success. AVEDON (7) and SOBERANO CEN (8) are others with legitimate winning ambitions on debut.
Race 97: 14:50 Ayr Hillhouse Quarry Handicap Chase (GBB Race) GB 2m 4f 110y - All Ayr Races
4th (10) Half Shot | | | | | | 10 | Conor O'Farrell | Iain Jardine | Won in fine style at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft) in November and is just 3lb higher today; however, he hasn't been at the same level on his three starts since and was pulled up last time; this 10yo needs to get back on track. |
(5) Take All | | | | | | 9 | Sean Bowen | John Joseph Hanlon | Following a break he returned to form with a 3l third of six at Cork (2m, soft) recently; his last win came over 2m4f and this Irish challenger could have a part to play now back up in trip. |
(1) Heltenham | | | | | | 7 | Ciaran Gethings | Dan Skelton | Now 3-3 at Newbury following two wins there last month (2m4f, heavy/good to soft); well beaten in hot handicap at Aintree (2m, soft) last Thursday and it remains to be seen if he'll reproduce his Newbury form on his first visit here, but the step back up in trip is a plus and he's not ruled out. |
3rd (4) Prairie Wolf | | | | | | 7 | Nick Scholfield | Sue Smith | Has made it 3-5 over fences with wins at Catterick (2m3f, soft) and Haydock (2m4f, soft) the last twice; he's up in the weights and in grade today and could do with jumping with greater fluency, but he's clearly progressing nicely and could have even more left in the tank. |
(9) General Officer | | | | | | 7 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Progressive novice who was suited by the return to a left-handed track when winning at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) last month; also effective on soft/heavy; this is a tougher test of his credentials than last time but he's up just 2lb and could continue to improve for last year's winning yard. |
(6) Numitor | | | | | | 10 | Jonjo O'Neill Jr | Heather Main | Winner of a veterans' chase at Haydock (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago on his second start back from an absence; takes on younger opponents today but he remains feasibly treated back up 6lb and could play another leading role. |
2nd (7) Soul Icon | | | | | | 7 | Kielan Woods | Keiran Burke | Back to form with neck second of five in novice handicap chase at Kempton (2m2f, good to soft) last month; also effective over 2m4f and on soft ground; there's a suspicion that latest performance (when he lost a shoe) represents strong form and this 7yo novice could be in the mix once more. |
(3) Nells Son | | | | | | 9 | Danny McMenamin | Nicky Richards | Runner-up to course specialist at Kelso (2m5f, soft) in February then won easily in small field there (2m1f, soft) latest; has run well on all four visits here and further improvement can't be ruled out, but he's back up in grade and needs to be better than ever to defy a 7lb rise for last time. |
1st (2) Outlaw Peter | | | | | | 8 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | Novice who was placed twice in a row this winter (2m4f, good/soft) before winning at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) last month; came clear with a course specialist last time and could continue to progress for top yard. |
(8) Jet Plane | | | | | | 8 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | His form can be up and down but he's won his last two, from the rear at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) last month and from the front at Market Rasen (2m3f, good to soft) last week; won on soft last October; did it easily last time and he's 4lb ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty; key player. |
Dan Skelton has won four of the last six runnings and JET PLANE is ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty having won easily at Market Rasen last week. Numitor, winner of a veterans' chase at Haydock last time, can play another leading role, while the progressive novices Outlaw Peter and Prairie Wolf are also respected.[Ben Hutton]
Race 98: 15:00 Fontwell Download The Yeeehaaa.Bet App Handicap Hurdle (0-115) (4) 4yo+ GB 2m 3f 49y - All Fontwell Races
(12) Dance To Fame | | | | | | 9 | Niall Houlihan | Richard Rowe | Point winner (May 2021); nothing worthwhile in three attempts under rules, the last couple of those (Kempton and Lingfield) since returning from a mammoth absence; no obvious reason to expect better for the switch to handicapping; look elsewhere. |
(1) Tzarmix | | | | | | 6 | Max Kendrick | Jonjo O'Neill | Chepstow novice winner (2m3f, soft) for Sam Thomas; fared okay on second start for this trainer at Ffos Las (3m, heavy; fourth of nine, beaten 18l; first-time tongue-tie) in November; off since, which raises concerns, but the drop back to 2m3f looks helpful. |
(5) In The Air | | | | | | 6 | Tom Cannon | Adam West | Won twice during his time with Gary Moore, including narrowly over C&D (good; 11-4; from an 8lb higher mark) last spring; lost his way late last year, and is yet to show any signs of a revival in three starts for Adam West; risky, but easing mark and drying ground could assist. |
(9) Westtara | | | | | | 9 | Marc Goldstein | Diana Grissell | Undertaken the bulk of his racing in points, winning a 3m maiden at Aldington (soft) last April; fair third in a Plumpton maiden (2m4f, good; 50-1) recently and switches to handicapping at a realistic level; others are more obvious. |
(3) Scorsese | | | | | | 6 | Richie McLernon | Neil Mulholland | Point winner who also showed ability in three maiden hurdles (2m-2m6f) in Ireland for Colm Murphy in 2023; tailed-off last of eight on handicap and stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy, 20-1); 3lb lower; may need more time to acclimatise. |
4th (11) Through The Ages | | | | | | 4 | Caoilin Quinn | Gary Moore | Ex-Godolphin; made all, jumping well for back-to-back juvenile wins Newbury and Plumpton (2m, soft), but came up well short when folding tamely on handicap debut at Sandown (last of eight, beaten 64l) six weeks ago; set to encounter sounder surface here, albeit with stamina to prove. |
3rd (2) Cape Vidal | | | | | | 7 | Ben Godfrey | Anthony Honeyball | Ridden out to score over C&D (novices', good) in October; absent until returning for handicap debut at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) recently, pulling up after losing his action approaching the home turn; strong in the market there, so interesting to see if he can bounce back. |
(7) Decorated | | | | | | 6 | Gavin Sheehan | Oliver Signy | Made all at Taunton (2m3f, heavy; first time tongue-tie; from 2lb higher) last March; mixed fortunes this season; working slowly back to form post wind surgery, and better at Exeter (2m5f, soft; fourth, beaten 17l) last time; this shorter trip should suit. |
(10) Siam Park | | | | | | 5 | Brendan Powell | Joe Tizzard | Twice in the frame at Wincanton (1m7f maiden), running to an RPR of 101 on the second occasion; too free when less competitive at Taunton (sixth) latest, but may have more to offer as he switches to handicapping (up in trip) in a newly applied tongue-tie; consult the market. |
(6) Master Dancer | | | | | | 7 | Harry Bannister | Richard J Bandey | Stratford winner (2m novices', good) in October 2022; lightly raced since - did have a spell over fences - and acquitted himself well enough despite fading after the last when third at Huntingdon (2m4f, good, Kansas Du Berlais second) recently; possibilities. |
2nd (4) Kansas Du Berlais | | | | | | 5 | Lee Edwards | Adam West | Dual course winner, the latest coming over C&D (novices', good, 10-11 favourite) last April; keeping-on second on return from further wind surgery at Huntingdon (2m4f, good; first-time hood, with Master Dancer third) recently; preferred to stablemate In The Air. |
1st (8) Hecouldbetheone | | | | | | 7 | Tom Bellamy | James Owen | Won twice for Gary Moore, including here, in late 2021/early 2022; returned from an 18-month absence to be well held in three runs (two over fences) for Chris Gordon before moving to James Owen; fared no better in a Class 3 at Newbury latest, so cheekpeices are now applied. |
Huntingdon evidence suggests that there isn't much between Kansas Du Berlais and Master Dancer. Market support for Siam Park (second choice) would tip the scales towards Joe Tizzard's newly tongue-tied handicap debutant, but the suggestion is the early season C&D winner CAPE VIDAL, who can hopefully bounce back from Ludlow.

4th (8) Jeu Coquin | | | | | 5 | F Lecanu | S Leblond | Has turned a corner recently, latterly trotting 3rd of 16, at 40/1, in a 2100m Class C here 2 weeks ago. Has to be taken seriously now and can again make the first 5 |
2nd (4) Justicia Smart | | | | | 5 | E Raffin | H Sionneau | Won at Bordeaux last month before being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.2 last weekend. Hind shoes off this time and with Eric Raffin reining, will generate interest |
1st (5) Jade D'Amour | | | | | 5 | B Rochard | M Sassier | Sent for a break after faulting over track and trip late-November but won a 2750m Ecommoy Class D on re-entry late last month and, barefoot again, can confirm |
3rd (10) Jolie Coktail | | | | | 5 | Cl Duvaldestin | T H Duvaldestin | Reassuring 3rd of 10 finishers in a 2100m Vincennes Class C a fortnight ago. Benefits from a good entry, has already imposed under these conditions, and looks dangerous |
(1) Jervis Bay | | | | | 5 | J M Bazire | L Cl Abrivard | Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2100m Class C here on 8 February, but has been entrusted to JMB this time and will not be far off the mark if he can keep her trotting |
(2) Judicieux | | | | | 5 | F Nivard | F Delanoe | 7th of 11 finishers in a 2150m Enghien Class C mid-March, on first start since the break. Hind shoes off this time and while not a priority, is still worth watching |
(3) Jalousie De L'Isle | | | | | 5 | D Thomain | J Bruneau | Showed improvement when 4th of 8 in a 2200m monte Class D here 2 weeks ago but in this company will struggle to make any impact |
(6) Jazz D'Ourville | | | | | 5 | M Abrivard | M Abrivard | Imposed here 3 weeks ago before coming a surprisingly lacklustre 8th behind JEU COQUIN (8) in a 2100m Class C a fortnight back, but has ample ability and can challenge for a place in the frame this time |
(7) Jazzy Dancer | | | | | 5 | J F Senet | J F Senet | Last of 8 in a 2875m Enghien claimer a month ago. Races barefoot this time but still not an obvious choice |
(9) Juvenia Bella | | | | | 5 | A Wiels | J Marmion | Never at her ease when sanctioned in a 2700m Class B here on 1 March. More competitively-shod this time and with her mind on the game can play a leading role |
(11) Jacadi Brouets | | | | | 5 | J Vanmeerbeck | J Vanmeerbeck | Has not been seen out since coming 4th of 6 in a 2700m monte Gr.2 here early-November. Has other priorities and can be passed over |
Although occasionally a handful, JADE D'AMOUR (5) has buckets of talent, won twice over the main track last autumn, scored smartly on re-entry, and is eminently capable of repeating. She will still encounter resistance from JOLIE COKTAIL (10) who left a very good impression here a fortnight back, and the progressive JUVENIA BELLA (9) who sports a new configuration as she bids to make up for her recent sanction. Bizarrely below-par over shorter here 2 weeks ago, JAZZ D'OURVILLE (6) returns to a m
Race 100: 15:05 Fairview East Cape Nursery (listed)(For 2 yo R100 000 Win BSA Bonus Series) SAF 6f - All Fairview Races
2nd (7) Silvonian | | | | | 2 | C Maujean | G D Smith | Progressing at a rate of knots; successful by just over 2l to claim first CD win two months ago |
2nd (4) Kingdundee | | | | | 2 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Caused a debut surprise when landing a juvenile plate over 5f by just over 1l at 40-1; his victims included Frosty Reception, Play Act and Ravilious |
1st (9) Splicethemainbrace | | | | | 2 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Progressing at a rate of knots and completed her hat-trick last time; aiming for a second CD win after her success here five weeks ago; a leading player |
(1) Family Law | | | | | 2 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Narrow 33-1 maiden juvenile plate winner on his debut here in February beating Silvonian |
(2) Global State | | | | | 2 | S Naidoo | G D Smith | Recorded first CD win two weeks ago; progressing well |
(3) Golden Rule | | | | | 2 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | Successful by just over 3l to claim first CD win last month |
(5) Play Act | | | | | 2 | M V'Rensburg | W G C Miller | Not beaten too far (just under 2l) here (5f) last month, a race won by the reopposing Kingdundee; looks no easy task as facing a tougher assignment this time |
(6) Ravilious | | | | | 2 | P Mxoli | J V A Strydom | Creditable fourth last month (over 5f here), behind the reopposing Kingdundee; hard to fancy as tougher task in this company |
(8) Frosty Reception | | | | | 2 | L Mxothwa | S B Kotzen | Not beaten far (over 5f here) behind Kingdundee four weeks ago; has to be considered despite this step up in class |
SPLICETHEMAINBRACE is hard to get away from. She is chasing a second win over this CD and is still unbeaten. Silvonian is one to consider while there should be plenty of market support for Golden Rule, and Frosty Reception rates a serious threat.
Race 101: 15:12 Newbury Darley Novice Stakes (GBB Race) GB 1m 2f - All Newbury Races
7th (6) Old Saxony | | | | | | 3 | Jamie Spencer | David Simcock | Second foal; Saxon Warrior half-brother to 7f winner Subtle Beauty (RPR 81); dam 6f-1m winner (including 2yo/US stakes; 102), closely related to 8.5f stakes winner Amnesia, half-sister to Group-placed 6f winner Alphabet out of half-sister to Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Power; gelded; late foal, probably one for later but worth a market check. |
3rd (3) Brave Call | | | | | | 3 | Hollie Doyle | Heather Main | 125-1 at Leicester (7f, soft) on debut when showing modest form; left that way behind when running-on third of 11 at 50-1 in maiden at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in October, having met trouble in running inside the final 2f, and looks capable of better still. |
1st (11) Voyage | | | | | | 3 | Pat Dobbs | Richard Hannon | 40,000gns foal; ninth foal; Golden Horn half-brother to six winners, two useful; dam unraced half-sister to 1m Group 3 winner Pride Of Nation; others appeal more on pedigree but he's a Derby entry; yard also runs Sam Hawkens. |
(2) Ciro Di Marzio | | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | Ralph Beckett | Justify colt who was bought for almost 520,000euros last March; down the field at Leicester (7f, soft) in September but won a novice at Kempton (7f, AW) one month later; that win was in a tight finish but this late foal is an Irish Derby entry and seems to have plenty of potential. |
10th (4) Mini Punter | | | | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | Brian Meehan | 35,000euros yearling; fifth foal; brother to French 9.5f/1m2f AW winner Bebeautiful (including Listed; RPR 94), half-brother to three French winners; dam unraced half-sister to 6f-7.5f Group 1 winner Gordon Lord Byron; late foal; warm race for debut but same connections had an impressive 3yo Listed winner on Wednesday, so market strength would catch the eye. |
8th (9) Temple City | | | | | | 3 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | By Kingman out of 1m2f and 1m4f (Group 2) winner; third of 12 in Newmarket novice (1m, soft) in October, which he failed to build on when evens at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November, but the debut in particular is noteworthy form. |
(7) Roland Garros | | | | | | 3 | Kieran Shoemark | John & Thady Gosden | 200,000gns yearling by Nathaniel; 17-2, always in touch but never got in a blow when fourth of 13 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) 17 days ago, showing fair form; others have better but no shock if he leaves that well behind in due course. |
2nd (10) Vanish | | | | | | 3 | James Doyle | Harry Charlton | 200,000gns yearling by Galileo; third foal; brother to Group-placed 1m 2yo winner Anchorage (RPR 102); dam unraced half-sister to 1m2f Group 1 winners Vadawina and Vazira, and to 1m2f/10.5f Group 3 winner Vadapolina; late foal; from a stable whose 3yos are going well, including with a winning newcomer last week and a Newmarket maiden winner on Tuesday. |
6th (12) Warda Jamila | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Half-sister to stable's high-class stayer Coltrane; fourth in a 7f novice at Leicester in September and justified favouritism from the front in eight-runner novice there (1m, again on good to soft) four weeks later, the latter in clearcut style from Beatrice Shilling (runs 2.42 here today); Oaks entry who needs plenty of respect. |
5th (8) Sam Hawkens | | | | | | 3 | Sean Levey | Richard Hannon | Galileo half-brother to 6f winner Minnetonka (RPR 95); dam Group-placed 6f 2yo winner (106), sister to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner; 9-1, seemed to travel best long way when second of seven in novice at Goodwood (1m1f, soft) in October, which was a highly promising start; Dante and Derby entry. |
4th (5) Mr Hampstead | | | | | | 3 | David Egan | Roger Varian | $575,000 yearling; brother to last year's 1m2f-1m4f winner Savethelastdance (including Irish Oaks/2nd in Oaks; RPR 116); 15-8 favourite for seven-runner maiden at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in November, finding one too good for him but moving nearly 7l clear of a fair sort in third; has Derby and Dante entries; high on the list for form and potential. |
9th (1) Arabian Tribe | | | | | | 3 | William Buick | Charlie Appleby | 750,000gns yearling; brother to 7f/1m winner Noble Dynasty (RPR 113), half-brother to winners including Barney Roy (7f-1m4f including Group 1; 124); 8-11 for maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in December and always front rank before rallying past the runner-up; looks sure to stay 1m2f and a useful prospect at the least. |
Promise abounds in this field and not just with the three who have won already. Arabian Tribe could be the pick of those, ahead of Warda Jamila and Ciro Di Marzio, but MR HAMPSTEAD showed plenty in defeat at Newcastle in November and may now be able to go one better. Sam Hawkens is also shortlisted.[Richard Austen]
Race 102: 15:20 Saint-Cloud Parade D'Amour Maiden Stakes - All Saint-Cloud Races
2nd (12) Zora | | | | | 3 | Eddy Hardouin | S Smrczek | Dam won four times in Germany and notched up eight victories once coming to France but this filly is likely to need the run. One to pass by |
3rd (2) Darnya | | | | | 3 | M Velon | L Baudron | Dam raced three times without doing anything useful and this filly could just need a few educational runs. Unlikely winner |
1st (14) Solinah | | | | | 3 | M Guyon | C Ferland | Dam won once over 1700m and this filly is bred in the purple so it would be no surprise to see her go well on debut. Big chance |
(1) Imedara | | | | | 3 | G Mosse | M Delzangles | Dam won twice from 1400m - 1700m and this filly represents powerful connections so could be a factor. Monitor the market |
(3) Blue Moves | | | | | 3 | C Demuro | F Chappet | Dam was unraced and this filly doesn't get the heart racing on paper but could be of interest if there is support. Monitor the market |
(4) Alyaqut | | | | | 3 | S Chuette | M Delzangles | Dam remained a maiden after eight outings and this filly could need further before showing something useful. Not fancied |
(5) Brigantina | | | | | 3 | N Bourmich | G Alimpinisis | Dam was unraced and this filly gets weight of the back courtesy of an apprentice riding but she will likely need the run. Others preferred |
(6) Gold Love | | | | | 3 | D Provost | G Doleuze | Dam won three times from 1900m - 2100m but this runner is unlikely to play much of a role on debut. Likely to need a few runs |
(7) Sweet Excess | | | | | 3 | A Pouchin | P Bary | Dam won once over 1600m and this filly could be better for the run. Others make more appeal |
(8) Baileys Illusion | | | | | 3 | H Journiac | G Hernon | Dam won once over 1300m in France before leaving to England where she won four times. Trip is a question mark |
(9) Liv Gold | | | | | 3 | A Crastus | J Carvalho | Dam was unraced and this filly isn't an appealing type on paper nor does she represent a yard that are known for winning on debut. One to pass by |
(10) On The Clouds | | | | | 3 | M Barzalona | H A Pantall | Dam was unraced and this filly could be a useful sort in the making so is definitely worth keeping an eye on. One to watch |
(11) Gracella | | | | | 3 | T Bachelot | S Wattel | This daughter of Siyouni represents an inform yard that are more than capable of getting them ready on debut. Follow the market |
(13) Royal Velvet | | | | | 3 | I Mendizabal | F Chappet | Daughter of Zarak that is likely to need an outing or two before shaping up with real menace. Others preferred |
(15) Queen Cen | | | | | 3 | A Lemaitre | Chr Head | Dam won three times including a victory in a Group 3 in Ireland and she is likely to be forward on debut. Winning chance |
In what could be a race to follow over time, SOLINAH (14) is the top choice and the one that stands out on paper. She draws well and gets Maxime Guyon which all points to a huge performance. QUEEN CEN (15) is an attractive type and could likely show potential from the off. IMEDARA (1) and ON THE CLOUDS (10) both hail from solid yards that will be looking to deliver for big connections.
Race 103: 15:20 Ayr Coral "We're Here For It" Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race) (0-150) (2) 4yo+ GB 2m 5f 91y - All Ayr Races
8th (10) Fonzerelli | | | | | | 8 | Nathan Moscrop | Rebecca Menzies | Highly progressive when last seen two years ago, beaten only a nose by the now smart chaser Marsh Wren in a 2m4f novice hurdle at Hexham on final appearance; however, she's hard to trust in this competitive a race after so long out. |
9th (1) Wakool | | | | | | 8 | William Maggs | N W Alexander | Former Grade 2 winner but has become inconsistent and his improvement during the past three years has come over 3m. |
1st (7) Punta Del Este | | | | | | 5 | Kielan Woods | Dan Skelton | Last five runs have been on heavy so conditions were no excuse when running poorly the last twice, and was beaten too far out to blame 3m; Harry Skelton rides the yard's other one. |
6th (6) Dripsey Moon | | | | | | 7 | Henry Brooke | John C McConnell | Hasn't looked that comfortable going in against Graded horses on his final four appearances, from 2m2f to 3m; should fare better now into handicap company for the first time but others appeal more; cheekpieces did nothing when tried once before. |
10th (9) Carnfunnock | | | | | | 7 | J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | Four-time winner at up to 2m3f; career-best RPR came when third over 3m last season so the this far will be fine, and cheekpieces are added after failing to give it his best shot last time at 2m; not on an impossible mark by any means. |
3rd (12) Foster'sisland | | | | | | 9 | Emma Smith-Chaston | Micky Hammond | Won twice here and was runner-up on his other visit; has not been easy to predict this season but ran okay after wind surgery last time and he's beneath his last winning mark. |
2nd (4) The Four Sixes | | | | | | 6 | Sean Bowen | Olly Murphy | Front-runner who has progressed well this season (2m3f-2m5f) and was still travelling within himself when falling at Ascot last month, albeit still a fair way from home; will need his best yet to defy this high a mark but that's feasible. |
(8) Dare To Shout | | | | | | 7 | Danny McMenamin | Ann Hamilton | Has got back on track with two respectable displays in the tongue-tie (over 3m+); can cope with this shorter trip but might not be well enough handicapped to win this. |
(5) Hugos New Horse | | | | | | 7 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | Prolific winner last season from 1m7f to 2m4f, culminating with a novice success at this meeting; his current campaign hasn't got going at all and was no better for wind surgery last time at Kempton; now goes in cheekpieces; has enough to prove. |
(11) Bass Rock | | | | | | 8 | Ryan Mania | Sandy Thomson | Won this race in 2021 and 2022; will do well to bring up the hat-trick after this season's efforts (two chases and a hurdle) but he's back on a good mark. |
(2) Crystal Glory | | | | | | 8 | Sean Quinlan | Nicky Richards | Smart novice hurdler two seasons ago including a fourth in the 3m Grade 1 at Aintree's National meeting; won his first chase last season before finishing lame in the second; has a long absence to overcome in a competitive handicap on this return to hurdling. |
4th (13) Theformismighty | | | | | | 7 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Irish point winner; down the field in two maidens and a novice won by good horses before making the most of a straightforward opportunity at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft; first-time tongue-tie); he didn't beat a lot but as a handicap newcomer from the Skelton yard he brings obvious appeal. |
5th (14) Jagwar | | | | | | 5 | Jonjo O'Neill Jr | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Lightly raced 5yo with plenty of size about him; narrow winner of his novice and when a 9.5l fourth on his return to handicaps at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) he didn't settle that well or jump great; the hood could be an interesting addition and he's considered. |
7th (3) Doddiethegreat | | | | | | 8 | Nico de Boinville | Nicky Henderson | Lightly raced 8yo; it was his first real blip when midfield in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham but the stable was under a cloud then and his previous fourth in the 2m Betfair Hurdle was eyecatching, especially with a view to his potential over this far; very interesting. |
A major chance is given to Doddiethegreat who was a big eyecatcher in the Betfair, especially with a view to today's longer trip, and his stable was in the doldrums when he ran in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham. He might be too well handicapped, but the now-hooded JAGWAR also has plenty of upside off his current mark and is very capable of leaving his latest Uttoxeter effort behind. Theformismighty, who seems to have improved since finishing behind the selection in an early-season maiden, is another of obvious interest on his handicap debut.[Alistair Jones]
Race 104: 15:30 Fontwell Yeeehaaa.Bet Handicap Chase (0-100) (5) 5yo+ GB 2m 3f 104y - All Fontwell Races
2nd (4) Kalkas | | | | | | 8 | Tom Cannon | Billy Aprahamian | Very well handicapped on best Irish form for Henry de Bromhead but, following a long absence, has not shown a great deal for new stable this year. |
8th (2) Master Malcolm | | | | | | 7 | James Best | Emma-Jane Bishop | Ended last season with two soft-ground wins at Huntingdon (2m4f) and will be fine on the quicker surface here but has been out of form this term (four starts) and needs to turn things around. |
9th (6) Touch Tight | | | | | | 12 | Mr Phillip York | Phil York | Placed twice over 3m at Southwell (good) last summer and returned from layoff with three point seconds in February/March; not getting any younger but should be okay over today's trip and current mark ought to be workable. |
1st (11) Millies Mite | | | | | | 8 | Marc Goldstein | Karen Jewell | Pulled up on heavy ground over C&D in February and now 0-27 under all codes; continues to slip down the weights and is back on a quicker surface today but still makes only limited appeal. |
(5) La Breille | | | | | | 5 | Harry Bannister | Richard J Bandey | Lightly raced and generally very disappointing since winning Fakenham juvenile hurdle (2m, good) in October 2022; makes chasing debut after 190-day absence and over new trip; others have much less to prove. |
6th (10) Elzaaro | | | | | | 6 | Brendan Powell | Karen Jewell | Made just a mildly encouraging handicap hurdle debut when fourth of seven at Huntingdon (2m3f, soft) last month but remains unexposed and is open to improvement on today's chasing debut. |
7th (8) Concrete King | | | | | | 10 | Bryan Carver | Neil Mulholland | Has very mixed record this season but ran well and looked the likely winner for a long way before weakening into third over C&D (heavy; just behind Mister Murchan) last month; 2lb lower today; can't rule out. |
4th (7) Jack Doyen | | | | | | 8 | Jack Quinlan | Ben Case | Exploited some help from the handicapper when scoring at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month and was second there off today's mark ten days ago; may not be ideally suited by the quicker ground here but still considered. |
5th (1) Flamelco | | | | | | 6 | Caoilin Quinn | Gary Moore | Placed off 7lb higher at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in November and looked set to open British account over C&D (heavy) in February, only to tire on the run-in; contender if judged on those exploits but is not very consistent and needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing run. |
(3) Mister Murchan | | | | | | 11 | Niall Houlihan | Richard Rowe | No longer the force of old but was runner-up twice on heavy ground last month, latterly off today's mark over C&D; can give another good account providing the ground does not become too lively for him. |
3rd (9) Guivinec | | | | | | 5 | Rex Dingle | Anthony Honeyball | Winning pointer (on good to soft) who was a respectable fourth of 11 on handicap hurdle debut at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) six weeks ago and remains unexposed under rules; back up in trip for chasing debut; could pose a potent threat if he takes well to fences. |
Jack Doyen and Mister Murchan (preferred in that order) have both been running fairly well in recent weeks but it might be worth chancing chasing debutant GUIVINEC, who made a very respectable handicap hurdle debut six weeks ago and, if last spring's wide-margin point win is a guide, could have a good future over fences.[Chris Wilson]

4th (9) Galileo Bello | | | | | 8 | M Mottier | Mme A F Marcillac | Got back in the game when runner-up to INO DU LUPIN (5) in a 2700m Class B here on 23 March. Unlikely to repeat but will still be competitive for a first-5 cheque |
3rd (10) He And Me | | | | | 7 | J Dubois | J Dubois | 11th of 15 when prepping for this in a 2700m Gr.2 here a fortnight ago. Has nothing to prove at this level and is thoroughly capable of making the frame |
2nd (3) Inexess Bleu | | | | | 6 | M Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | Sanctioned in late-March race of reference, when going well. Appreciates the main track profile and looks main danger to INO DU LUPIN (5) |
1st (5) Ino Du Lupin | | | | | 6 | A Wiels | J Marmion | Extraordinary trotter with an enviable strike-rate, latterly winning a 2700m Class B with authority here on 23 March and is unlikely to be bested |
(1) Halicia Bella | | | | | 7 | J Lehericey | J Marmion | 7th of 12 finishers in a 2725m Lisieux Class D a month back and, even with front pads fitted, already looks out of her depth |
(2) I Can Dream | | | | | 6 | P Ph Ploquin | L Cl Abrivard | 8th of 9 to INO DU LUPIN (5) in a 2700m Class B here late last month. Competitively-shod but still cannot be considered a player |
(4) Ibiki De Houelle | | | | | 6 | E Raffin | F Leblanc | Has not raced since coming 2nd to INO DU LUPIN (5) in a 2700m Class B here on 1 March. Won 3 times for Eric Raffin over the winter, will be fresh, and can again figure prominently |
(6) Isla Jet | | | | | 6 | F Nivard | T Malmqvist | Somewhat disappointing 6th to INO DU LUPIN (5) in 23 March race of reference. Has already won a Gr.3 this year but needs to pull her socks up |
(7) Equinoxe Jiel | | | | | 10 | D Thomain | J L Dersoir | Has not been seen out since coming 11th of 13 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class C early-October and is going to need the run |
(8) Eberton | | | | | 10 | J Guelpa | J Guelpa | Sanctioned when never dangerous in a 3250m Lyon-La Soie Gr.3 9 days ago and is not about to set off any fireworks |
(11) Gendreen | | | | | 8 | J M Bazire | L Cl Abrivard | 4th of 16 in a Class A over 2850m at Laval, when shod, on 13 March. Has fine references under these conditions and, with shoes off can challenge for a place in the frame |
Remarkably-consistent and as versatile as they come, INO DU LUPIN (5) is unbeaten in 3 starts under these conditions and will again take all the beating. Opposition will take the form of INEXESS BLEU (3) who had gas in the tank at the time of his sanction that day, and INEXESS BLEU (3) who trotted a valiant 2nd to the favourite early last month. Hard to knock when barefoot and focused, HE AND ME (10) has solid credentials over 2850m on the main track and with shoes off, can get straight back in

(3) Pompei Warning | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Has won previously at this course; missed out by half a length sent off 33-10 at Fairview Polytrack last month in what looked a warm handicap; needs to be respected now dropping in class |
(4) Colloidal Gold | | | | | 4 | C Maujean | D A McKenzie | Lightly raced; creditable ninth, beaten just over 2l, of 14 over this trip (handicap) on his first start for this trainer three months ago, a race won by the reopposing Captain Tik Tok; this just his second run in a handicap; may have to settle for supporting role |
(5) Glass Shoes | | | | | 4 | L Mxothwa | S B Kotzen | Couldn't land a blow when fifth of ten five weeks ago upped to 6½f at Fairview Polytrack; has won here before; must be respected despite defeat last time as finished second at Fairview Polytrack two runs back |
(6) Great Melody | | | | | 5 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Course specialist who has won four times here; finished fourth but only beaten 2½l (handicap) at Fairview Polytrack latest; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and should be thereabouts |
(10) Notorix | | | | | 5 | D Ashby | J P Nel | Largely disappointing since successful in a stakes race at Fairview Polytrack six months ago; has only won on all-weather; not beaten too far at 6-1 when sixth of eight (handicap) last month (Fairview Polytrack) |
(11) Seattle Ripper | | | | | 3 | D Schwarz | K Mitchley | Creditable effort in eighth (beaten just over 2l, handicap) at Fairview Polytrack last month; not always shown an awful lot since winning a maiden plate at Scottsville in July; makes little appeal despite dropping in class |
(12) Cruzador | | | | | 5 | S Naidoo | G D Smith | Towards the rear of 15 in a handicap in February at Fairview Polytrack; has won here before but on a long losing run; easily dismissed |
(13) Looking Hot | | | | | 5 | Y Ramzan | J P Nel | Finished towards the rear of 14 here over 6f two weeks ago; has won here; this looks a tough ask as faces a stiffer task |
(14) Masked Vigilante | | | | | 5 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Finished towards the rear of 16 (Kenilworth) two months ago; first run for trainer |
(15) Georgie George | | | | | 5 | M V'Rensburg | W G C Miller | Scored narrowly in a handicap on first run for his current trainer last month here (6f), form which has been advertised since; risen up the weights; this represents a step up in class but should prove competitive |
(16) Mister Whistle | | | | | 3 | P Mxoli | E Kaknis | Been generally quiet since successful in an open race at Fairview Polytrack six months ago and recorded sole career win when competing on all-weather; well behind Pompei Warning (sixth) in a handicap at Fairview Polytrack when beaten a fair way (13l) last month; not hard to look beyond him despite dropping in class |
FERRANDO looks a solid choice. He is bidding to land a second win over this CD. Glass Shoes would be a threat if returning to form while a hike in the weights makes life harder for Captain Tik Tok, and Pompei Warning competes off the back of some good runs.
Race 107: 15:45 Newbury Compton Beauchamp Estates Ltd Silver Bar Handicap (0-105) (2) 4yo+ GB 2m 110y - All Newbury Races
(6) Torcello | | | | | | 10 | Clifford Lee | Shaun Lycett | Front-runner; 11 wins, the latest in a three-runner race at Pontefract 17 days ago; has long looked particularly well suited by 1m4f in the mud, while his Flat runs beyond 1m6f have not yielded much, so stamina and drying ground could both present issues. |
9th (11) Educator | | | | | | 5 | Luke Morris | Michael Appleby | Well beaten in sole run on soft; handicap debut in April 2022 was his last win (for William Haggas); some minor honours last year at up to 2m and he's been coming down the weights in his three AW runs for new yard, showing his most promise for them in February latest (behind Spartan Army); case can be made. |
6th (1) Beamish | | | | | | 6 | Hollie Doyle | Archie Watson | Won his first three races before further smart form in 2022 when third in two Group 3s; disappointing favourite when upped to 2m that October and unraced since, having been sold out of Paddy Twomey's for 32,000gns last July and gelded; the trip and layoff give him a fair bit to prove. |
8th (2) L'Astronome | | | | | | 5 | Jason Hart | Hugo Palmer | Four wins at up to 1m7f in France, including a 1m3f Group 2 in May 2022; good debut for this yard in Listed race at Chester last September but soundly beaten in a Group 3 at Ascot three weeks later, both over 1m4f; had wind surgery since; worth a market check but probably vulnerable. |
(9) Yorkindness | | | | | | 5 | Joe Fanning | Charlie Johnston | Five turf wins over 2m/2m1f last June-September, none on worse than good to soft; not quite so good on soft at Chester (first run there) off today's career-high mark on final outing; needs to find more improvement. |
4th (4) Not So Sleepy | | | | | | 12 | Tom Marquand | Hughie Morrison | 12yo who has retained a rare zest, demonstrated last year with a front-running Flat win here (1m5f, heavy; stays well) and a second triumph in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle; remote in the Champion Hurdle last month but no shock were he to bounce straight back with a bold show today. |
1st (8) Prince Alex | | | | | | 7 | David Egan | Dominic Ffrench Davis | Losing run goes back to July 2021; three more trainer changes since and he took minor honours off this mark in six-runner races last term on his two runs for current yard, having earlier been a well-beaten fourth in this race after an absence; has only once been beyond 1m6f otherwise (well beaten); others are more persuasive. |
2nd (10) Robert Johnson | | | | | | 6 | Connor Beasley | Philip Kirby | Highly progressive last year in winning five times between April and July, from 1m4f to 2m on varied ground; 223 days off before straight back to his best with a close third of five at Pontefract (2m2f, heavy) 17 days ago, so another big run looks highly likely. |
5th (5) Spartan Army | | | | | | 5 | Rossa Ryan | Alan King | Fair hurdler on varied ground; Flat form took off again this winter with the switch to AW, winning three times before his creditable third at Newcastle on finals day, all over 2m; turf mark has risen too, so the form needs to be transferred, but he's respected as an in-form candidate. |
7th (3) Metier | | | | | | 8 | Saffie Osborne | Harry Fry | Hurdles career seems to have gone off the rails but two big runs on Flat last spring, notably with last-gasp win in the 2m2f Chester Cup (soft); 4lb higher today; has a recent hurdles run under his belt and although rain rather than drying conditions would be preferred for him, he's not ruled out. |
3rd (7) Grand Providence | | | | | | 4 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Had a good record in 1m6f-2m2f handicaps last term before her disappointing show in the Cesarewitch (11-1) on final outing; those solid runs were on varied ground but peak efforts on good; given the way she won on penultimate outing she could still have potential. |
Her Cesarewitch run was disappointing but that's the only such one from GRAND PROVIDENCE (nap) last season and she may now be about to resume her improvement. Robert Johnson looks sure to provide resistance but that grand old-timer Not So Sleepy is feared most and Metier is another to take seriously.[Richard Austen]
Race 108: 15:55 Saint-Cloud Prix d'Estruval - Group 3 - All Saint-Cloud Races
(4) Kerion Bourgeois | | | | | 4 | M Berto | C Lequien | Runner up over 3000m at Le-Lion D'Angers on the 1st of April 2024 in a weaker race. Would be a surprise winner |
(9) Judgeland | | | | | 5 | M Eon | A Fouassier | Finished 7th over 3700m in a Hurdles event at Le-Lion D'Angers in a Class 3 race on the 31st of March 2024. One to pass by |
(8) Kel Espoir En Jeu | | | | | 4 | T Bachelot | N Paysan | Showed up well last time out over track/trip in a Group 3 on the 26th of March 2023. Could outrun odds |
(10) Key Wish | | | | | 4 | C Berge | A Couetil | Finished 6th over 3000m at Angers on the 22nd of November 2023. Others make more appeal on current form |
4th (7) Juliette Banbou | | | | | 5 | L Zuliani | S Zuliani | Returned from a layoff with a fair 5th placed effort over track/trip in a Group 3 on the 26th of March 2024. Include in all bets |
2nd (13) Jesuba | | | | | 5 | H Lebouc | E D' | Finished 8th over 3500m in a Hurdles event in Class 2 company at Pau on the 17th of December 2023. Back on the flat could unlock more from her |
(3) Joe L'Audace | | | | | 5 | L Roussel | Sourdeau Beauregard | Winner of his maiden over 3000m at Le-Lion D'Angers on the 1st of April 2024. More is required to win again |
1st (5) Jeu De Jambes | | | | | 5 | I Mendizabal | A Kahn | Winner over 2400m at Wissembourg on the 14th of April 2024. On the up but more to find at this level. Others preferred |
(11) Kikea Du Mou | | | | | 4 | C Demuro | E&g Leenders | Winner over 3000m at Angers on the 22nd of November 2023 and is open to improvement. Include in the play |
(12) Joaquina Dici | | | | | 5 | L Boisseau | L Postic | Finished 4th over 3000m at Le-Lion D'Angers on the 1st of April 2024. Would need to show more |
(6) Jaguar Du Large | | | | | 5 | A Bourgeais | Gab Leenders | Finished 3rd behind a couple reopposing rivals over track/trip in a Group 3 on the 26th of March 2024. Upset type |
(15) Korona Phil | | | | | 4 | A Madamet | M Seror | Comfortable winner over 2400m at Le-Lion D'Angers on the 1st of April 2024. Will need to up her game |
(14) Justune Star | | | | | 5 | C Soumillon | N Paysan | Runner up over track/trip last time out behind a reopposing rival on the 26th of March 2024. Can get involved |
(2) Jimfa | | | | | 5 | L Poggionovo | A Couetil | Finished 6th over track/trip in a Group 3 on the 26th of March 2024. Will strip fitter and should run well. Big chance |
3rd (1) Jet Blue | | | | | 5 | M Guyon | H Merienne | Winner over track/trip in a Group 3 when switching back to the flat on the 26th of March 2024. Go close once again |
JIMFA (2) made his return of a rest last time out and seemed to be in need of the outing and with that out the way, he could pick of a few of the horses that finished in front of him. JET BLUE (1) won with ease last time out and could follow up against similar. JUSTUNE STAR (14) was beaten by a better horse on the day and similar could be expected. JULIETTE BANBOU (7) will strip fitter and could get involved.
Race 109: 15:55 Ayr Seko Logistics Scotland Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race) (0-130) (3) 5yo+ GB 2m 110y - All Ayr Races
5th (6) Minella Youngy | | | | | | 6 | Sean Quinlan | Lizzie Quinlan | Won at Kelso (2m1f, good) last September on third chase start and final run for Iain Jardine; however, he's 8lb out of the handicap on this first outing since and has an exposed profile (just 1-20 over hurdles); his wins have come on good ground; may be best watched on stable debut. |
4th (4) Dr T J Eckleburg | | | | | | 6 | Conor Ring | Evan Williams | Beaten on his six starts since winning at Ludlow (2m, soft) in December but has run some good races in that spell, most recently third at Chepstow (2m, soft) behind runner-up Sans Bruit who went one better at Aintree last week; might not be far away. |
2nd (1) Salamanca Bay | | | | | | 8 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | In a first-time hood this headstrong sort easily made all over C&D (good) last month; has a 10lb higher mark against tougher opposition today, along with different ground, but this lightly raced 8yo may have more to offer in the hood and could make another bold bid. |
3rd (2) Beau Balko | | | | | | 6 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | He tends to be difficult to settle but he won at Musselburgh in February on his fourth chase start (2m, good to soft; ground changed to soft after race) and was a fair third of five in a warm little race at Kempton (2m2f, good to soft) last time; only six and in top hands; possible player. |
1st (5) Rath Gaul Hill | | | | | | 6 | Robert Dunne | Samuel Drinkwater | Faded when 11l second to progressive winner at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in February and capitalised on the drop back in trip to win at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last month; won over hurdles on soft ground; did it very readily last time and is unexposed at this distance; respected up 7lb. |
(3) Royal Mer | | | | | | 6 | Jack Tudor | David Pipe | Ex-French 6yo who is 5-8 over British fences having won comfortably on his last three starts (2m/1m7f, soft); the latest was at Wincanton 11 days ago and a 7lb penalty may not stop this thriving grey. |
Things have clicked in a big way for ROYAL MER, who completed a hat-trick in dominant fashion at Wincanton recently, and he can defy a 7lb penalty. Rath Gaul Hill won very cosily when dropped back to 2m at Newbury last time and he could be the main danger ahead of C&D winner Salamanca Bay, who may have more to offer in the retained hood.[Ben Hutton]
Race 110: 16:05 Fontwell Best Odds Guaranteed At Yeeehaaa.Bet Mares' Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle (0-95) (5) 4yo+ GB 2m 1f 162y - All Fontwell Races
(4) Phoebe's Charm | | | | | | 5 | Gavin Sheehan | Clare Hobson | Ex-Irish mare who has not finished closer than 34l to a winner in her six hurdle runs including two handicaps; has not been with her new yard for long but she needs major improvement back in trip. |
(3) Konigin Isabella | | | | | | 6 | Ben Godfrey | Anthony Honeyball | Showed some ability in qualifying runs and she hadn't been shaken off when taking an heavy fall two out on her handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last March; seemed to need the run at Wincanton on her comeback in February and this return to forecast quicker ground looks a positive; one to keep an eye on. |
3rd (5) Ryder's Rock | | | | | | 6 | Brendan Powell | Joe Tizzard | Disappointing at Newton Abbot when last seen in October but the step up to 2m5f may have backfired and she enters the reckoning on her second in a novice there (2m2f, good to soft) last summer; this is only her third handicap and she's not ruled out on her return. |
4th (9) Trickalight | | | | | | 8 | Chris Ward | Deborah Cole | Won an Irish point in April 2021 but she's 0-10 under rules and has form figures of PP8565 in handicaps (2m3f-2m7f); mark continues to fall but she needs a transformation on this big drop back in trip; hood and tongue-tie return. |
(7) Opticality | | | | | | 6 | Cameron Iles | Mitchell Hunt | Two AW wins on the Flat including at Southwell (1m3f) on her penultimate run last month; 0-4 over hurdles but was a respectable fifth of 13 in a Taunton handicap (2m, soft) in January and she still has potential in this sphere; could be dangerous back over hurdles. |
(6) Mays Hill | | | | | | 6 | Connor Brace | Fergal O'Brien | Won a good-ground bumper here last May; no impact in three hurdle runs last summer but it is still early days in this sphere and she should have a future in handicaps; needs watching in market back from 259 days off. |
(8) Happy Index | | | | | | 6 | Jack Quinlan | Paul Webber | Won a Ludlow handicap (2m5f, good) off 1lb lower last May but she's not gone on from that and was a well-held fifth at Huntington 18 days ago; record now stands at 1-11 and she has something to prove back in trip; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
1st (1) Bethpage | | | | | | 6 | Tom Bellamy | Emma Lavelle | Sister to 2m hurdle winner Some Spin; showed ability in bumpers and there has been some promise in her three hurdle runs, including a third of six at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) in January; looks open to progress now switched to a handicap and she's an interesting contender. |
2nd (2) Lady Caro | | | | | | 6 | Ben Jones | Emma Lavelle | Wasn't beaten far in her final bumper and she shaped with promise in big-field events in first two hurdle runs; had a daunting task behind Golden Ace at Taunton last time and this is much more realistic on her handicap debut; one of two runners for Emma Lavelle and she needs a close look. |
This looks tricky and the market should be highly informative. Lady Caro had a daunting task in her final qualifying run and should have a future in handicaps, but slight preference is for her stablemate BETHPAGE, who is also unexposed in this sphere and is a sister to a 2m hurdle winner. Dual Flat scorer Opticality could be dangerous on her return to hurdling, while course bumper winner Mays Hill also enters the reckoning along with Ryder's Rock.[David Moon]
Race 111: 16:10 Bath Whitsbury Manor Supporting Lope Y Fernandez Apprentice Handicap (0-60) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m 3f 137y - All Bath Races
(12) Golden Keeper | | | | | | 5 | Christian Howarth | Ben Lund | Dual 1m4f winner (good to firm/AW) for Sean Woods, but seems to have gone the wrong way this year despite a plummeting mark and hasn't finished within 12l of the winner in his last five starts. |
(3) Lookingdandy | | | | | | 6 | Callum Hutchinson | David Evans | 0-14 under rules and needs a deal of improvement if he is to figure on Flat turf debut; stable also runs Taxiing. |
(7) Taxiing | | | | | | 4 | Alexandra McDonnell | David Evans | 1-12 with her win coming at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in January; ran well in one of her three starts on turf when trained in Ireland, but this may be an inadequate test for her now. |
(2) Conservative | | | | | | 5 | Joe Bradnam | Joe Tizzard | 1-18 (0-11 on turf); makes stable debut (same owners) in a first-time tongue-tie having undergone wind surgery; down in grade, but still hard to fancy on his latest efforts. |
(9) Logistical | | | | | | 4 | William Carver | Simon Hodgson | Placed a few times on the Flat and over hurdles and has run well in two of his last four starts on the AW, but is now 0-17; more needed. |
(14) Motasaleeta | | | | | | 4 | Connor Planas | Nikki Evans | Nine-race maiden who showed some ability between May and July last year, but ended the season quietly and failed to beat a rival on last month's Wolverhampton return (8.6f, AW); big step up in trip needs to unlock something. |
3rd (5) Lexington Hero | | | | | | 4 | Rose Dawes | Jack Channon | 1-12 and best form so far has come on the AW (unplaced all seven starts on turf); look elsewhere. |
4th (10) Asense | | | | | | 5 | Anna Gibson | Gary Moore | Has to put a poor effort at Kempton (1m4f, AW) nine days ago behind her, but her turf hat-trick between August and October last year included two wins here (one over this trip); respected if bouncing back. |
2nd (11) Bobby Kennedy | | | | | | 6 | George Bass | Denis Coakley | 1-19, though the win came over C&D in May 2021; second of 14 off this mark here just over a year ago and although not seen in six months, he has shown that he can go well fresh; shortlisted. |
(13) Silver Atom | | | | | | 6 | Amy Hunt | Archie Watson | 1-20 with his win coming from 1lb lower in an amateur riders' event over C&D last September; has run with credit in four of his five starts over hurdles since November and is considered. |
(4) Galactic Glow | | | | | | 7 | Tyler Heard | Joe Tickle | All three wins came over 1m2f here last year on good to firm/firm; acts on soft ground too, but still has stamina to prove and the seven-month absence (has undergone wind surgery) is a concern as he has a poor record fresh. |
(8) Man Of The Sea | | | | | | 8 | Tommie Jakes | Neil Mulholland | Winner of 11 races, albeit one came over hurdles and eight came on the Flat on Jersey; off four months and others make greater appeal. |
1st (6) Fiddlers Green | | | | | | 5 | Gina Mangan | John O'Shea | Sole success in 12 starts came at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in February, but held over the same C&D last month; twice runner-up on a soft surface when trained in Ireland and holds an each-way squeak in a modest contest. |
(1) Molly Mischief | | | | | | 4 | Adam Farragher | Jennie Candlish | Had shown ability prior to getting off the mark in emphatic style at Southwell (1m3f, AW) a week ago; has a 5lb penalty to carry, but still 7lb well in and will take the beating if as effective on turf. |
This revolves around Molly Mischief who is 7lb well in under a penalty for last week's Southwell rout and the only question is how she will cope with turf at the first time of asking. With that in mind it may be worth taking her on with ASENSE whose hat-trick last year included two wins here, one over this trip. Fellow C&D winners Bobby Kennedy and Silver Atom look best of the others.[David Bellingham]
Race 112: 16:13 Vincennes Prix Atlas - Attele - All Vincennes Races
4th (1) Le Jibay | | | | | 3 | A Barrier | B Robin | Has not been seen out since coming last of 9 in a 2700m Class A here on 25 January and will not be losing his maiden status this week either |
3rd (2) Lucifermorningstar | | | | | 3 | Y Lebourgeois | P H Allaire | Somewhat disappointing 4th of 8 finishers in Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea over 2700m here 3 weeks ago. Is clearly capable but, in this company, may have to settle for a minor place cheque |
1st (7) Little Brown | | | | | 3 | D Thomain | P H Allaire | 6th, behind LOMBOK JIEL (8), in Gr.2 Prix Paul Viel over 2700m here late-January. Comes here fresh, shod, and in with a realistic shout of making the frame |
2nd (6) Largo De Castelle | | | | | 3 | B Rochard | Mlle I Klappe | Mildly surprised when 2nd in Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea over 2700m here 3 weeks ago, beating a number of these. Benjamin Rochard back in the wagon and looks a decent place chance once more |
(3) Lucky Jackson | | | | | 3 | J M Bazire | J M Bazire | Oddly out of sorts when 6th in Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea late last month. 4 pads fitted this time, with JMB reining, and can make the first 5 |
(4) Learn To Fly | | | | | 3 | F Nivard | F Senet | Sanctioned when well-backed in Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea over 2700m here 3 weeks ago. Nivard gets another go at it but others easier to back |
(5) Leonardo Roc | | | | | 3 | G Gelormini | Vitale Ciotola | Has gone from strength to strength, most recently 3rd behind LARGO DE CASTELLE (6) in Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea over 2700m here 3 weeks ago. With application and form maintained, he can finish close |
(8) Lombok Jiel | | | | | 3 | P Y Verva | J L Dersoir | Sent for a short spell after coming 6th of 10 finishers in Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson over 2700m here 2 months ago. Will appreciate this shorter trip and can return to winning ways |
LOMBOK JIEL (8) has looked a serious colt since last year's successful debut; he bit off more than he could chew last time out but, at this level, looks every part the leading contender. The talented LARGO DE CASTELLE (6) reassured behind a very good horse in the Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea late-March and, on good behaviour, should logically confirm. LITTLE BROWN (7) has disappointed in elite company but drops back in class, is shod for the occasion, and can start to come good again.
Race 113: 16:15 Newbury Dubai Duty Free Full Of Surprises Handicap (0-100) (2) 3yo GB 7f - All Newbury Races
1st (8) Teraabb | | | | | | 3 | Jamie Spencer | Charlie Fellowes | Ran four times over 7f as 2yo, showing his worst form on debut (heavy) and his best when beaten a head at Yarmouth (good) on third start; gelded after final start and also sports cheekpieces for this handicap/seasonal debut, needing some improvement. |
2nd (3) Dashing Darcey | | | | | | 3 | James Doyle | Roger Varian | Pulled up in the early stages when favourite on debut in October; nothing wrong in his three starts since, including maiden and novice wins when odds-on over 1m at Lingfield in December; has a bit more to prove given this is his turf and handicap debut, but he's on a hat-trick. |
5th (4) Circe | | | | | | 3 | Sean Levey | Richard Hannon | Doncaster maiden win (7f, soft) was her best form but she showed plenty of ability in her other two races last autumn, sixth of seven in Group 3 at Newmarket (10-1) on latest; needs to resume improvement but early days and she may well make a better 3yo. |
7th (7) Get The Music On | | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | Clive Cox | Bang there over about 7f at Lingfield (good to firm) and Newmarket (soft) first two starts, before going one better in Kempton novice (7f, AW) in November; made the running on first and latest occasions; needs to improve on handicap/seasonal debut but trainer won this race in 2022 and 2023. |
3rd (5) Christian David | | | | | | 3 | Joe Leavy | Richard Hannon | Close third at Newmarket (good to firm) on second start and asserted in good style on Lingfield AW later in October, both 7f; 7-1, good third of six off this mark under Joe Leavy on seasonal debut at Bath (1m, heavy) 12 days ago; needs to build on that and this is a warmer race but he needs a second look. |
8th (1) Telemark | | | | | | 3 | Harry Davies | Simon & Ed Crisford | Won a novice at Yarmouth (7f, soft) on second start and improved on that form when fifth of eight in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, heavy) in November, albeit failing to live up to favouritism; gelded since; has proved himself on testing ground and may well continue on the up. |
4th (6) American Bay | | | | | | 3 | David Probert | Harry Charlton | Placed in 6f/7f novice events on the last three of his four starts as 2yo, twice narrowly beaten; unraced on softer than good; needs extra but his stable's 3yos have made a splash this month. |
6th (2) Al Shabab Storm | | | | | | 3 | Richard Kingscote | Andrew Balding | Similar form over 7f then 6f on all four starts as 2yo, on good to firm ground and on soft/heavy; won comfortably at 1-2 in a novice at Goodwood before his fourth of nine in Listed race at Doncaster; gelded since; respected but needs to find a bit extra. |
Christian David ran well enough on his recent reappearance to be given a positive mention and he's the only one with a run under his belt this term. Preference, however, is for his stablemate CIRCE in the belief that she is about to emerge as an improved 3yo. She tried a Group 3 on her final 2yo start, as did Telemark, while Get The Music On (second choice) represents Clive Cox who has won the last two runnings of this race, but all the runners have to be considered seriously.[Richard Austen]
Race 114: 16:25 Exeter Clifton Inn Newtown Exeter "National Hunt" Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) (Div I) GB 2m 161y - All Exeter Races
8th (2) Break Heart Hill | | | | | | 6 | Bryony Frost | Fiona Shaw | 100-1 when tailed off in a bumper here eight weeks ago (heavy); can't be recommended. |
9th (1) Brave Ruler | | | | | | 5 | Charlie Deutsch | Polly Gundry | Minor promise in a heavy-ground bumper in January; less good the following month and again finished remote on his hurdle debut last month; hard to recommend. |
6th (9) Apples Moon | | | | | | 5 | James Bowen | Nicky Martin | Well beaten in a mares' bumper at Warwick on debut and again at Chepstow on January's hurdle debut; bred to do better at some point but significant improvement is required to feature here. |
5th (3) Impecunious | | | | | | 5 | Freddie Gingell | Chris Down | Finished second in a point bumper in November (2m, good to soft); 28-1 and dropped away quickly in a bumper here on his rules/stable debut in February; makes hurdle debut with something to prove. |
4th (5) Move With The Beat | | | | | | 5 | Joe Anderson | Emma Lavelle | 2-3 in points but he's yet to fire over hurdles; drops in trip this afternoon and likely to progress once eligible for handicaps. |
7th (8) Vision De Maine | | | | | | 5 | David Noonan | David Pipe | Point winner who finished second in a Sedgefield bumper on his rules debut last October; two hurdle efforts leave him with plenty to prove though. |
2nd (6) Rangatira Jack | | | | | | 6 | Sean Houlihan | Linda Blackford | Going the right way over hurdles, recording his best RPR thus far when third of ten at Wincanton last month (1m7f, soft); today's stiffer test should suit but he'll need to improve again to win. |
3rd (4) Intrepide Sud | | | | | | 6 | Jonathan Burke | Fergal O'Brien | Point winner; added a 2m bumper at Worcester to his tally in July 2022; absent for 609 days prior to last month's reappearance at Taunton where he was the stable second string and shaped as though the run was needed; could leave that well behind him. |
1st (7) Vincenzo | | | | | | 6 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Sam Thomas | Placed in four of his six runs, running to a similar level in three hurdle runs this year (wind op prior to latest); leading form claims in this line up and the drop back to a stiff 2m shouldn't be an issue. |
Intrepide Sud didn't run badly after his mammoth absence at Taunton and he's open to improvement in this sphere but he'll need it if VINCENZO reproduces the form of any of his three hurdle runs in 2024. Rangatira Jack looks best of the rest.[Paul Smith]
Race 115: 16:30 Saint-Cloud Du Lieu Marmion Handicap - All Saint-Cloud Races
2nd (9) Hurricane Light | | | | | 9 | A Lemaitre | Mme M Verplanken-Laberine | Runner up over 1500m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 4 limited handicap on the 26th of March 2024. Place claims |
3rd (11) Noble Amber | | | | | 6 | C Pacaut | C Escuder | Narrowly denied victory in 2nd spot over 1850m at Hyeres in a Class 4 course qualifier on the 1st of April 2024. Upset type |
1st (10) My Flinders | | | | | 8 | R Mangione | Boutin (S) | Won well over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on the 15th of April 2024. Can outrun her odds |
(1) Micoleo | | | | | 5 | M Velon | C Boutin | Weak effort in 11th position over 1400m in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on the 10th of April 2024. One to pass by |
(2) Cruella De Vil | | | | | 6 | P Bazire | Mme G Rarick | Finished 4th over 1400m at Fontainebleau in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 2nd of April 2024. Winning chance |
(3) Claim The Stars | | | | | 5 | T Trullier | Philipp Schock | Finished 7th over 1000m at Chantilly in a Class 3 claimer on the 4th of April 2024. Open to improvement |

(5) True Romance | | | | | 9 | H Boutin | Boutin (S) | Winner over 1300m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 4 value claiming handicap on the 12th of April 2024. Can go close again |
(6) Idaho James | | | | | 6 | F Veron | F Foresi | Winner over 1400m at Tarbes in a Class 4 value claiming handicap on the 31st of March 2024. Each way chance |
(7) Space Quake | | | | | 5 | C Soumillon | C Boutin | Winner over 1400m at Deauville in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on the 10th of April 2024. Must inclusion |
(8) Beacon Towers | | | | | 7 | T Piccone | Y Luyckx | Well held in 10th position over 1400m at Compiegne in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on the 19th of March 2024. More to do |
TRUE ROMANCE (5) won a nice race last time out and with his confidence restored he could follow up. CRUELLA DE VIL (2) put up a solid display in her first start for the year and should have more to offer. ON LOCKDOWN (4) tends to mix his form but could be a decent value inclusion in this event. CLAIM THE STARS (3) was far from disgraced over shorter last time out and should appreciate the step up in trip which should unlock more from him.
Race 116: 16:30 Ayr GS Group "Hands & Heels" Handicap Hurdle (Conditionals'/Amateur Riders') (RE Series Finale) (Div I) (0-120) (4) 4yo+ GB 2m 4f 100y - All Ayr Races
4th (1) Quest With Speed | | | | | | 7 | Mr Paddy Hanlon | John Joseph Hanlon | Won maiden hurdle at Limerick (2m3f, heavy) in November and good third of 14 in Naas handicap (2m2f, soft) in January; fair fourth on chase debut at Clonmel last time; represents good Irish trainer and jockey Paddy Hanlon is 3-10 in Britain; contender now back over hurdles. |
3rd (5) Voix Du Reve | | | | | | 12 | Mr Dominic Hislop | Iain Jardine | Won this last year and now 8lb lower; market check advised but this 12yo has been below par on his last few runs; needs to turn things around. |
8th (3) Rocky Man | | | | | | 6 | Mr Sean O'Connor | Dan Skelton | With a leading trainer and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; could get back on track at some stage and a market check is advised, but he's struggled on his three outings this season. |
7th (10) Beat The Retreat | | | | | | 5 | Dylan Whelan | N W Alexander | Inconsistent and 3lb out of the handicap today; pulled up over C&D last month after bad mistake four out; however, he won here (2m2f, soft) in December and also kept on well when third at sharp Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in February; only five and open to improvement when back on song. |
5th (4) Front View | | | | | | 9 | Benjamin Macey | Jonjo O'Neill | Runner-up on two of his last three starts but was no match for the winner when occupying that position at Exeter (2m5f, soft) last month, and he's just 1-15 over hurdles; others are more compelling. |
6th (6) Follow Charlie | | | | | | 5 | Ben Smith | R Mike Smith | 2-2 over C&D, those wins coming comfortably under Ben Smith in handicaps this year (heavy/good to soft); fair fourth at Carlisle last time and this unexposed 5yo could have more to offer now back here; player. |
2nd (2) Don't Tell Su | | | | | | 6 | Mr Charlie Sprake | Paul Nicholls | Bumper winner who was placed on his first three hurdle starts (2m-2m5f) before winning easily at 1-6 at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) last month; his jumping is a work in progress but he's in top hands and it will be no surprise if he is a serious force on this handicap debut. |
1st (8) Plaisir Des Flos | | | | | | 5 | Miss Fern O'Brien | Fergal O'Brien | Won when upped in trip on last month's handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) and followed up at Wincanton (2m4f, soft); came miles clear with an unexposed, well-backed runner-up last time and a 10lb rise may not prevent another win from this progressive 5yo. |
(7) Billytherealbigred | | | | | | 4 | Gearoid Harney | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | 4yo who is 3-3 in handicaps (all against older horses) and won easily last month on his first two starts for this yard (2m/2m2f, soft/heavy); his jumping has lacked fluency and he's 18lb higher than last time, but it remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies; respected. |
This is very competitive for the grade. The Fergal O'Brien-trained PLAISIR DES FLOS could still be ahead of his mark and is taken to maintain his unbeaten record in handicaps, although Follow Charlie is 2-2 over C&D and could be a big danger now back here. The 4yo Billytherealbigred has shot up the weights but had bundles in hand the last twice, while Quest With Speed and Don't Tell Su are other interesting contenders.[Ben Hutton]
Race 117: 16:40 Bath Whitsbury Manor Stud British EBF Fillies' Restricted Novice Stakes (Bands C-D) (EBF Qualifier) (GBB) GB 5f 10y - All Bath Races
11th (3) Forget The Past | | | | | | 2 | Ben Sanderson | Bill Turner | Started a big price for her Southwell debut late last month and was never a factor after swerving left at the stalls; her trainer is now 0-57 with 2yos over the past five seasons, with only four placed. |
9th (12) Good Call | | | | | | 2 | Callum Hutchinson | J S Moore | Went off the 50-1 outsider of six when finishing a remote last behind Flicka's Girl on her AW debut; is 9lb better off with the winner but will do very well to turn things round. |
14th (9) Bright Era | | | | | | 2 | Liam Keniry | J S Moore | Dam won her first two as a 2yo for the Channon yard and this early foal is worth a look in the betting, although her trainer (also runs Good Call) isn't the force of old in early juvenile races and has a poor record with them here. |
3rd (8) Big Bug | | | | | | 2 | Darragh Keenan | Martin Dunne | Trainer had a 2yo win first time out last autumn on the AW but this filly offered no immediate promise when a 66-1 shot on her debut on Monday. |
13th (14) Sienna Gold | | | | | | 2 | Gina Mangan | Rod Millman | Like stablemate Dynamite Diva (who is perhaps the more interesting under Ross Coakley) she holds a few sales race entries later on; market moves between the pair will tell a tale though. |
6th (7) Biddable | | | | | | 2 | William Cox | Tom Dascombe | 12,000euros (yearling) Super Sprint entrant who doesn't turn two until next Thursday; trainer has a fair record with juveniles here but others look more likely. |
12th (13) Lizzie Bubbles | | | | | | 2 | Kieran O'Neill | Alice Haynes | January-foaled 6,000euros yearling whose dam won over 7f but has stamina in her pedigree; headgear goes on for today's debut for a yard in good nick lately. |
10th (2) Dynamite Diva | | | | | | 2 | Ross Coakley | Rod Millman | Early-foaled 20,000gns yearling who holds a few sales race entries later on; is her trainer's first 2yo runner of the season (alongside Sienna Gold) and well worth tracking in the market. |
8th (4) Paint The Town Red | | | | | | 2 | Rob Hornby | Richard Spencer | Still a few weeks away from turning two and has stamina on the dam's side (produced a 1m4f winner), so wouldn't obviously appeal as an early juvenile on paper; in-form trainer is 1-1 with 2yos this spring though. |
5th (15) Washington Dancer | | | | | | 2 | Pat Cosgrave | David Evans | Like Spirited Dancer shaped nicely after a slow start (hit traffic too) at Kempton nine days ago; it's hard to know the merits of that race as yet but she too is entitled to improve. |
(10) Daisy Inthe Breeze | | | | | | 2 | Silvestre De Sousa | Dominic Ffrench Davis | 2,000gns first foal of a fair five-time sprint winner who improved with time; Silvestre De Sousa is a pleasing 5-19 for the yard and the market will show what's expected. |
1st (6) Betty Clover | | | | | | 2 | Georgia Dobie | Eve Johnson Houghton | Trainer unleashed the useful Juniper Berries in this last spring and the yard has made a similarly bright start this time, with two successful newcomers already; this early-foaled half-sister to their 3yo 6f AW winner Another Thought is worth keeping an eye on. |
7th (5) Spirited Dancer | | | | | | 2 | Charles Bishop | Jack Channon | Shaped with a deal of promise on her Polytrack debut last midweek (Washington Dancer just behind), having blown the start and looked green during the race; will have learned plenty and today's stiffer 5f ought to work in her favour; goes on the shortlist. |
2nd (11) Englemere | | | | | | 2 | Billy Loughnane | George Boughey | Early foal who hails from a decent family of sprinters but went for just £1,000 as a yearling; yard still to really get rolling with 2yos this spring and doesn't have a great record with them here but she's one of the more interesting newcomers. |
4th (1) Flicka's Girl | | | | | | 2 | Laura Pearson | David Loughnane | Daughter of a 5f 2yo Wolverhampton winner who followed in her dam's tracks when landing a gamble early in the month; had a good bit in hand there and helps set the standard under a penalty. |
Flicka's Girl knew her job and won well at Wolverhampton early in the month, having come in for good support. Now she's being asked to concede a penalty to a pair who conversely needed their opening experience at Kempton nine days ago, and the temptation is to go with SPIRITED DANCER, albeit there's nothing to choose between her and Washington Dancer on 2lb worse terms. Betty Clover, who represents last year's winning yard, is an interesting newcomer.[Graham Wheldon]
Race 118: 16:45 Limerick OCS Recruitment Maiden Hurdle IRE 2m 190y - All Limerick Races
(12) Warrior Lion | | | | | | 4 | Sean O'Keeffe | Moses McCabe | Some ability on the Flat as a juvenile for Joseph O'Brien; has shown nothing in three hurdle starts so far. |
(1) Dylan's Chance | | | | | | 4 | Tom Kelly | Eoin Christopher McCarthy | Eleventh foal; half-brother to three winners; one of two newcomers for the stable here. |
(2) Kellys Grove | | | | | | 4 | Richard Condon | Michael Butler | Has finished last in small-field events at Naas (bumper) and Limerick (hurdle); safe to rule out. |
(4) Lope De Light | | | | | | 4 | Patrick M O'Brien | William Durkan | Modest placed form for Andrew Balding; came closest to winning in a 1m2f Beverley novice event on heavy ground; jumping was untidy on his hurdling debut at Punchestown; gelded since a poor Dundalk run |
(11) Tic Tac Toe | | | | | | 4 | Liam Quinlan | Ray Hackett | Twice placed in sprint nurseries for his previous trainer; modest Flat form for this stable last year. |
(13) Duchamps Art | | | | | | 4 | Danny Mullins | Ms Margaret Mullins | In good hands but in need of more time judged on his first two starts at Naas and Limerick. |
(8) Tannery Park | | | | | | 4 | Michael O'Sullivan | Barry Connell | Showed nothing in four Flat runs; remote ninth on hurdling debut at Gowran. |
(9) The Blaggard | | | | | | 4 | G B Noonan | Eoin Christopher McCarthy | Half-brother to a 2m hurdle winner; dam ran only once unplaced, out of unraced half-sister to the very useful Mount Benbulben; likely to need experience. |
1st (7) Rocky's Diamond | | | | | | 4 | Shane Fitzgerald | Declan Queally | Always at the back on debut at Gowran; headgear used then is discarded; makes no appeal |
(3) Let Him B | | | | | | 4 | Mr A D Bustin | C Byrnes | Thrown in at the deep end in a Listed bumper at Limerick; did not jump well and was described as an awkward ride by his jockey when finishing in mid-field on his hurdling debut at Cork |
(15) Star Contact | | | | | | 4 | Phillip Enright | S Curling | From a family (that of Grand National winner Red Marauder) associated with stamina; unlikely to make an immediate impact having been pulled up in a recent maiden point |
(10) Thegreenthirteen | | | | | | 4 | Sam Ewing | Matthew A Daly | Needs to jump more fluently on the evidence of two Cork runs; 4l in front of today's rival Let Him B when sixth last time. |
(16) Uhavemeinstitches | | | | | | 4 | Mark Walsh | J Motherway | Home-bred Walk In The Park filly out of the trainer's Irish Grand National winner Bluesea Cracker who has yet to distinguish herself at stud. |
4th (14) Love Me | | | | | | 4 | Darragh O'Keeffe | Henry De Bromhead | Second foal; dam Italian Listed-placed winner, half-sister to several Italian winners at around 1m/1m2f; cost E41,000 at a breeze-up sale at two and now makes belated debut for a top stable. |
3rd (5) Mordor | | | | | | 4 | Jack Kennedy | Gordon Elliott | Placed on the Flat; given the promise he showed when third on his hurdling debut at Leopardstown over Christmas, he was disappointing on his next two maiden outings (excuse on first occasion); 66/1 when brought down at the fourth in the Boodles at Cheltenham. |
2nd (6) Palamon | | | | | | 4 | Sean Flanagan | Paul Nolan | 1-8 for Richard Hannon; signed off for that yard with a wide-margin success over 1m2f at York (good to soft) and then fetched 85,000gns; gave improved display on his third maiden hurdle outing when third behind a Gordon Elliott-trained pair at Naas; pulled up after being badly hampered by a faller at the fourth in the Boodles; tongue-tie on now. |
This could boil down to a duel between two horses who failed to complete the course in the Boodles at Cheltenham. PALAMON, pulled up after being hampered, was the shorter-priced of the pair and may prove too strong for Mordor who was brought down. Newcomers Love Me and Uhavemeinstitches may be good enough to get into the money. [Alan Sweetman]

4th (5) Galet Sted | | | | | 8 | F Lagadeuc | C H Mary | Enjoying a new lease on life since switching codes, latterly 3rd of 13 in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia over 2850m here a fortnight back. Has earned the right to race at this level and can play a prominent part |
3rd (11) Granvillaise Bleue | | | | | 8 | Mme C Levesque | P Levesque | Fine campaigner that finished 3rd to EDITION GEMA (8) in Gr.1 Prix Henri Desmontils over 3000m here early-March, after having trotted 3rd in Gr.1 Prix de l'Ile-de-France, and will not go down easily |
1st (8) Edition Gema | | | | | 10 | Guillaume Martin | M Sassier | Remarkable mare that flew up in Gr.1 Prix Henri Desmontils over 3000m here early-March and will again take all the beating |
(1) Faust De Beylev | | | | | 9 | M Mottier | G Gillot | Handy sort that came 2nd of 12 in a 2700m Class E at Lyon-La Soie 9 days ago but bites off more than he can chew this time |
(2) Go Or Not | | | | | 8 | Mlle E Callier | A Bonnefoy | Lost his action in a Class C over course and distance last weekend and will have little to offer here |
(3) Gala D'Urfist | | | | | 8 | A Lamy | F Leblanc | Has buckets of talent but never far from faulting, as he did in Prix Cornelia when sent out favourite. Gets another crack at it and Adrien Lamy will be loathe to let the same thing happen again |
(4) Espace Winner | | | | | 10 | P Ph Ploquin | L Cl Abrivard | Surprise 4th behind GALET STED (5) in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia earlier this month. Unlikely to repeat but nonetheless has claims on a spot in first 5 |
(6) Ines Des Rioults | | | | | 6 | F Desmigneux | J F Senet | Raced better than her recent 7th in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia would suggest but still cannot be considered a priority |
(9) Hirondelle Du Rib | | | | | 7 | J L Cl Dersoir | Joel Hallais | Sanctioned, when prepping for this in a 3100m Angers harness Gr.3 on 3 April. Front pads fitted and can finish close if Jean-Loic Claude Dersoir keeps her trotting |
(10) Elie De Beaufour | | | | | 10 | Mme M Herleiksplass | J M Bazire | 12th of 15 in a harness Gr.2 over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Showed potential under the saddle last autumn, sports same configuration, and looks an interesting outsider |
Enjoying quite the resurgence since late-January, EDITION GEMA (8) pulled off a first Gr.1 success last time out and the 4-timer looks almost a foregone conclusion. That being said, GRANVILLAISE BLEUE (11) put on a good show behind her in the Gr.1 Prix Henri Desmontils and, as the incumbent champion, will be expected to put up a fight. HIRONDELLE DU RIB (9) has yet to reproduce her Prix de Cornulier 2nd place but has front pads fitted for the occasion and it is worth bearing in mind that she fin

(8) Opal Rose | | | | | | 3 | Luke Morris | Karen Jewell | Dam 1m1f-2m Flat (including AW; RPR 83) and 1m7f/2m1f hurdle winner, half-sister to winners Key Breeze (1m-10.6f) and Charlevoix (1m/1m1f) out of 1m4f winner; wouldn't be an obvious winner on debut and likely to appreciate further in time. |
(3) Highland Lil | | | | | | 3 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | Tom Dascombe | 32,000euros yearling; half-sister to 1m 2yo winner Lakota Seven (RPR 96); dam unraced half-sister to Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Divine Night out of half-sister to US 1m2f/1m3f Grade 1 winner Senure and US 6.5f Grade 3 winner Speak In Passing; stable's record with 3yo newcomers suggests she may be better for the run. |
(5) Moon Over India | | | | | | 3 | Nicola Currie | Jack Channon | 23,000gns yearling, 38,000euros 2yo; half-sister to winners Audacia (1m/1m2f including Listed; RPR 102), Fingals Cove (7f including 2yo/AW; 96) and Blackandgreen (Czech 6f); dam unplaced 1m only start (18), half-sister 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Ajigolo; something to like on breeding and stable won the 1m2f fillies' maiden on this card with a 33-1 newcomer last year. |
2nd (1) Bella Taslina | | | | | | 3 | Richard Kingscote | Clive Cox | 7,000gns foal, 35,000euros yearling; half-sister to 6f AW 2yo winner Source Of Wealth (RPR 66); dam unraced half-sister to Listed-placed 1m winner Moritzburg out of unraced half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Hurricane Barca; stable has an excellent record with 3yo newcomers and market support should be heeded. |
3rd (4) Intertwined | | | | | | 3 | Sean Levey | Brian Meehan | Dam unplaced 1m4f AW (RPR 38), half-sister to useful winners Regal Royale (5f/6f) and Bobby Wheeler (7f/1m) out of 6f 2yo Group 1 (Cheveley Park) winner; stable doesn't have many 3yos go in first time. |
4th (6) Night Lark | | | | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | Ralph Beckett | Half-sister to winners Illaunmore (1m AW including 2yo; RPR 102) and Papa Stour (6f-1m; 96); dam Group-placed 6f AW 2yo winner (98), half-sister to 1m Listed winner Redolent and French 1m-1m1f winner Qatar Dance out of 1m winner; enough to like on breeding; one of two for stable that get's its fair share of winning 3yo newcomers. |
(7) Noel Fox | | | | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Ralph Beckett | 72,000gns yearling, 160,000gns 2yo; half-sister to winners Attache (6f-9.5f including Qatar; RPR 74) and Under The Open Sky (Belgian 10.5f); dam Listed-placed 5f winner (including 2yo; 96) out of unraced sister to useful 1m4f-2m winner Admiral Barry; interesting to see how she fares in the market compared to stablemate Night Lark. |
(9) Pride And Power | | | | | | 3 | Shane Foley | K R Burke | 260,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 5.5f (Group 3) and 6f (2yo) winner (RPR 111), closely related to 6.5f Group 1 winner Polydream, half-sister to winners Evaporation (7f/1m Listed) and Ankle (useful 1m/1m3f) out of 1m Listed winner; lots to like on breeding and an Irish 1000 Guineas entry suggests she is held in some regard. |
1st (10) Star Style | | | | | | 3 | Pat Dobbs | Richard Hannon | 47,000gns foal; half-sister to winners Sweet Dragon Fly (5.7f-1m including US; RPR 92), Dono Di Dio (1m2f-1m4f AW; 92) and Exclusively (5f; 82); dam 6f 2yo winner (including Listed; 97), is granddaughter of US 8.5f 2yo Grade 2 winner; something to like on pedigree and holds entries in the English and Irish 1000 Guineas; stable won this in 2019. |
(11) Tarqeez | | | | | | 3 | Jim Crowley | Roger Varian | Half-sister to winners Eshaada (1m-1m4f including 2yo/Group 1; RPR 116) and Mutamaasik (7f; 105); dam 7.7f winner (88), sister to 1m Group 1 winner Tamayuz from family of French Derby winner Anabaa Blue; hooded for debut, but has an appealing pedigree and stable won a division of this in 2022. |
The market should provide plenty of clues for these debutantes. Bella Taslina makes the shortlist on account of her stable's excellent record with 3yo newcomers, while Tarqeez has a nice pedigree and the stable won a division of this race two years ago. Classic entries for Star Style and PRIDE AND POWER suggest they are held in some regard, with preference for the latter who cost 260,000gns as a yearling and makes plenty of appeal on breeding.[David Bellingham]

5th (2) Giddy Up | | | | | | 5 | Sean Houlihan | Mitchell Hunt | Out of half-sister to high-class Flat stayer Sergeant Cecil and useful chaser Graduation Night but he finished a long way back on his hurdle debut at Taunton last week (250-1); best watched for now. |
4th (6) Tiger Blade | | | | | | 5 | Dylan Johnston | Harriet Brown | Signs of some ability in a good-ground bumper last spring and perhaps soft ground has held him back in his most recent novice hurdles; handicaps still likely to be the way to go, though. |
(4) Lost In The Mist | | | | | | 8 | Harry Atkins | Martin Keighley | Finished third in two Worcester bumpers in 2022; respectable hurdle debut for new yard after an absence when third of four finishers at Southwell (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie, retained) in January and entitled to come on for the run; place chance. |
(8) Reely Delightful | | | | | | 5 | Miss Lucy Turner | Venetia Williams | Modest form so far, in a Bangor bumper last April and a Haydock maiden hurdle in March; not yet of interest but worth keeping an eye on with handicaps in mind. |
1st (5) Saint Cyr De Pail | | | | | | 5 | David Noonan | Jane Williams | Out of 2m2f hurdle winner in France; had soft ground to contend with on 2m5f debut here last month and he couldn't hold his position; combination of this lesser test and the experience could see much better today. |
3rd (9) Bathgate | | | | | | 4 | Lewis Stones | Tom Weston | In the rear in two bumpers this winter but there was more promise in his hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m, soft) last month; can progress again with this stiffer test at the trip expected to suit. |
(7) Wild Grouse | | | | | | 7 | Theo Gillard | Donald McCain | Won sole completion in Irish points; ran well for a long way on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) for new trainer in November but he again found little at Aintree in December and has had wind surgery since; now tongue tied; should have potential at this level and is a rare runner here for this yard these days (7-34 overall). |
(1) Dunbulcan Bay | | | | | | 5 | Tristan Durrell | Dan Skelton | £72,000 3yo from a staying family; ran green but far from disgraced when fifth in a course bumper in November that worked out well; likely to come into his own when going over further but should still have something to offer now hurdling at a realistic level. |
2nd (3) Johnny Blue | | | | | | 5 | James Bowen | Nicky Henderson | Failed to shine in a soft-ground Fontwell novice in January but seen to much better effect on good ground previously, winning a Worcester bumper last June and running to a useful level on hurdle debut at Hereford (2m) in November; the one to beat if the ground proves suitable. |
Irish point winner Wild Grouse may well fare a lot better in his third hurdle start now that he's had wind surgery and is tongue tied but the drying surface will suit JOHNNY BLUE and he has the best credentials on his good-ground form. Hurdle newcomer Dunbulcan Bay (second choice), Bathgate and Lost In The Mist are others to consider.[Emily Weber]

6th (1) Better Getalong | | | | | | 13 | Miss Ella McGarry | Nicky Richards | 13yo who has been well beaten over C&D and at Haydock the last twice; however, he's a four-time course winner, with the latest of those over C&D in December (soft), and he's not ruled out at his favourite track. |
2nd (5) Foveros | | | | | | 9 | Miss Isabella Oliver | Henry Oliver | Ex-Willie Mullins; useful dual-purpose performer in his prime; however, on a reduced mark but he's been beaten in claiming/selling hurdles on his last three starts and others have more compelling claims. |
7th (9) Castletown | | | | | | 12 | Jack Power | Lucinda Russell | 12yo who has contested the last five runnings of this race with form figures of 21542; this is his first outing since last August but he can go well fresh and lines up on a handy mark; could be involved once more. |
8th (7) Benefit Ben | | | | | | 6 | James Turner | Sandy Thomson | Has shown ability in 2m/2m1f novice hurdles and this 3m point runner-up, who is a half-brother to two winning stayers, could relish the step up in trip on today's handicap debut; firmly in calculations. |
(3) Barrichello | | | | | | 8 | William Maggs | Donald McCain | His mark continues to tumble and he may capitalise at some stage, but he's failed to threaten on his three starts this season; plenty to prove. |
1st (6) Presenting Nelly | | | | | | 7 | Mr Sean O'Connor | Dan Skelton | Pulled up/well beaten over fences/hurdles on her two handicap starts and a return to form is needed; however, she's in top hands and a case can be made judged on her two novice wins last September (2m4f/2m1f, good to soft/heavy); not discounted. |
3rd (8) Seasett | | | | | | 6 | Mr Paddy Hanlon | John Joseph Hanlon | Faded into fourth at Wincanton (2m5f, soft) last time and needs a bigger performance today, but earlier last month he won under Paddy Hanlon at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) and he's a player if rediscovering that form; wears cheekpieces for first time over hurdles (ran okay in them once on the Flat). |
4th (4) Lihyan | | | | | | 6 | Ben Smith | Rebecca Menzies | Won at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in December and runner-up there the next twice (2m4f, soft); strong claims if his fine form continues now at a different track; won at Cork early in career; fair fifth here in November. |
5th (2) Glen Cannel | | | | | | 6 | Charlie Maggs | L J Morgan | Following a layoff he's been soundly beaten in third on his two starts this year; however, this 6yo may be working his way back to form and completed a double with C&D novice win (heavy) in January 2023; not written off. |
The step up in trip could be a major plus for BENEFIT BEN on his handicap debut, with him being a 3m point runner-up and half-brother to two winning stayers. Race regular Castletown could be the chief danger despite the absence, while Lihyan will be a big threat if transferring his good Musselburgh form to this course.[Ben Hutton]
Race 123: 17:05 Saint-Cloud Du Lieu Manchon Handicap - All Saint-Cloud Races
1st (7) Sakharah | | | | | 5 | T Bachelot | F Foresi | Finished 9th over 1500m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 26th of February 2024. Unlikely winner |
3rd (5) Uri | | | | | 5 | H Journiac | N Caullery | Finished 4th over 1400m at Moulins in a Class 4 limited handicap on the 14th of April 2024. Each way player |
2nd (8) Shamasun | | | | | 5 | M Guyon | Mme N Sauvage | Finished 7th over 1400m in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on the 19th of March 2024. Big runner if reproducing penultimate effort |
(1) Force Cat | | | | | 6 | F Veron | J Romero | Finished 7th in Spain over 1500m when last sighted on the 17th of December 2023. Hard to recommend |
(2) Gin Gembre | | | | | 7 | T Trullier | Mme C Auvray | Far from disgraced in 5th position over 1400m at Deauville in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on the 10th of April 2024. Place chance |
(3) Louve Precieuse | | | | | 5 | C Demuro | M Krebs | Finished 10th over 1400m at Strasbourg in a Class 4 limited handicap on the 22nd of March 2024. More to do |
(4) Vega Dream | | | | | 7 | M Velon | C H Plisson | Finished 3rd over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on the 4th of April 2024. Should go well |
(6) Parisian Belle | | | | | 6 | T Piccone | Mme J Dupont-Fahn | Finished 11th over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on the 4th of April 2024. Should bounce back |
(9) Mehanydream | | | | | 7 | N Baudet | C Boutin | Weak effort in 10th spot over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on the 15th of April 2024. Others make more appeal |
(10) Murrayfield | | | | | 6 | L Boisseau | L Proietti | Runner up over 1400m at Compiegne in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on the 19th of March 2024. Can get involved for the minor spots |
(11) Star Luce | | | | | 5 | B Marie | Mme J Stang | No show in 10th spot over 1400m at Nancy in a Class 4 value claiming handicap on the 4th of April 2024. Would be a shock winner |
VEGA DREAM (4) is in consistent form and would be deserving off another win. The weight off the back makes him a serious runner. URI (5) is always about the action and should be involved once again. SHAMASUN (8) is better than her last and can run a huge race. PARISIAN BELLE (6) is erratic but very capable and needs to be included.
Race 124: 17:07 Ballinrobe Bowers Bar & Restaurant Mares Maiden Hurdle IRE 2m 1f 144y - All Ballinrobe Races
8th (10) Mini Getaway | | | | | | 7 | Charlie O'Dwyer | M M Lynch | Struggled in points and similar story over hurdles in two runs so far; off 164 days. |
12th (13) Silin Alainn | | | | | | 5 | Ambrose McCurtin | Norman Lee | Gatewood mare; dam maiden jumper, third in 2m4f hurdle, half-sister to useful winners Band Of Blood (bumper and 2m-3m hurdle/chase) and Dedillon (1m); probably best watched on debut. |
13th (7) Easter Baroness | | | | | | 5 | Mike O'Connor | W J Burke | Refused in only point start and pedigree suggests she'll need further than this. |
10th (4) Albatala | | | | | | 5 | Ben Harvey | John C McConnell | Modest performer on the Flat and tailed off when 50-1 at Fairyhouse last month on hurdle bow. |
11th (9) Me And Mrs Lee | | | | | | 6 | Tom Harney | Norman Lee | Vendangeur mare; cost 1,000euros as a yearling; half-sister to 2m3f/2m5f hurdle winner Rebel Intentions; dam unraced half-sister to useful 2m-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Flaming Gorge and bumper/2m-2m4f hurdle winner Laurel View; stoutly bred and may need further. |
14th (1) Getawiggleon | | | | | | 7 | Keith Donoghue | Michael Hourigan | Fairly useful on the Flat up to 1m2f; not certain to appreciate the switch to this sphere; has run well fresh previously but this is probably a tough ask on hurdle bow for new yard. |
7th (12) Racing Daisy | | | | | | 7 | Mark McDonagh | D McNamara | 0-11 in points and unlikely to make an impact on rules debut; wears first-time tongue-tie. |
1st (6) Diamond Nora | | | | | | 5 | Kevin Sexton | Declan Queally | Point winner but tailed off in two starts under rules at big odds. |
9th (8) Justmadeit | | | | | | 5 | Daniel King | Denis Gerard Hogan | Some promise when beaten roughly 8l in a mares' bumper at Limerick in November; well held in two subsequent runs over timber; wears first-time tongue-tie. |
5th (3) Mill House Creek | | | | | | 6 | Simon Torrens | Stephen Gerard Carey | Stratford bumper winner; beaten 20l in a novice hurdle at Leopardstown last month; entitled to come on for that run but may want a step up in trip. |
2nd (15) Burvea | | | | | | 4 | Danny Gilligan | D Broad | 0-8 on the Flat but showed she may have a future in this sphere when third of six at Punchestown in January; may be able to build on that if the hood helps her settle. |
6th (5) Cappacurry Ealu | | | | | | 6 | Ryan Treacy | L Young | 0-4 but showed much more when third of 11 (beaten roughly 3l) at Cork last month; probably not strong form but should continue on her upward curve and not ruled out. |
3rd (14) Slim Marvel | | | | | | 6 | Cian Quirke | Andrew Slattery | Promise in bumpers before a nose defeat on hurdle bow at Wexford in November; not as good over further latest at Punchestown but made a bad error at the last and may bounce back. |
4th (11) Phoenix Belle | | | | | | 5 | Rachael Blackmore | Henry De Bromhead | Kept on at one pace when third in a Lingstown point in November; cost 20,000euros as a 3yo; sister to 2m4f hurdle winner Charming Fortune; dam unraced half-sister to smart 2m6f-4m hurdle/chase winner Back In Focus; worth a market check on rules debut. |
(2) Madge A Chroi | | | | | | 6 | Philip Byrnes | C Byrnes | Improved from her debut to land a mares' Thurles bumper in February at 14-1; however, form has taken a few knocks since. |
Competitive for a maiden hurdle with the tentative vote going to BURVEA who has progressed with each run in this sphere so far and a hood may help her settle better in the early stages this time. Cappacurry Ealu is another on an upward curve and Madge A Chroi can't be ruled out after her bumper win last time. [Phill Anderson]
Race 125: 17:15 Bath Showcasing Standing At Whitsbury Manor Handicap (0-65) (6) 3yo GB 5f 160y - All Bath Races
(9) Outer Edge | | | | | | 3 | Gina Mangan | Christopher Mason | Promise over 5f here on his third 2yo run; only fourth of five on his nursery debut when last seen seven months ago; gelded since; type to do better this year. |
(10) Damia | | | | | | 3 | Rhiain Ingram | Victor Dartnall | Ten-race maiden; ran right up to her best when second to an improving sprinter at Lingfield two weeks ago (6f); should give her running but others appeal more for win purposes. |
2nd (1) Kiss And Run | | | | | | 3 | Kieran O'Neill | Rachel Cook & John Bridger | Took a big step forward when faced with soft ground in a nursery here last October, readily seeing off seven rivals over C&D (made most); improved again when third in a Goodwood novice on her final outing but a consequence of that is she's now 14lb higher than for her win; needs further progress back from six months off. |
4th (4) Charlie Mason | | | | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Tony Carroll | Not at his best in a Class 4 nursery at Kempton when last seen in November but he'd progressed well before that, including a 6f AW success off 3lb lower last September; has left David Evans (same owners) since last seen; he'll need to be at his very best to take this after 163 days off. |
(6) Moe's Legacy | | | | | | 3 | Cieren Fallon | Ronald Harris | Below par at Kempton on Wednesday but it was her first attempt at 7f, which stretched her; in good form on AW previously, winning over 6f at Kempton in February and then placed at Wolverhampton on her next two starts; showed promise over C&D last season and not ruled out now back down in trip. |
3rd (7) Miss Stormy Night | | | | | | 3 | John Fahy | Clive Cox | Has shown promise in three AW runs this year but she's a keen goer and the addition of a hood didn't really calm her down at Southwell five weeks ago; can do better now handicapping at a modest level but she could really do with proving more tractable. |
1st (8) Sub Thirteen | | | | | | 3 | Neil Callan | Tony Carroll | Didn't look ahead of his mark in nursery/handicap runs for Ron Harris; change of scenery needs to have a positive effect. |
(2) Clyde Bay | | | | | | 3 | Charles Bishop | Eve Johnson Houghton | Steady improvement with each of his three runs as a 2yo; gelded since last seen; moves into handicaps with potential and he's one to note for market confidence. |
(5) Part Time Britain | | | | | | 3 | Pat Cosgrave | David Evans | Unplaced in five 2yo runs; not obviously well treated but a wind operation and the return of a tongue tie could be beneficial; others look safer all the same. |
(3) Bated Breeze | | | | | | 3 | Tom Queally | Gary Moore | Ran as well as he ever has when third of nine on his seasonal/handicap debut at Kempton 16 days ago, making a big move from the rear in the home straight; should be capable of better and showed promise on good to soft on debut; leading contender. |
Clyde Bay (second choice), Miss Stormy Night and Outer Edge are all capable of better but BATED BREEZE (nap) was a big eyecatcher at Kempton on his seasonal return and a 1lb drop for that third placing looks generous. He made up a vast amount of ground from 3f out to 1f out on that occasion but those exertions saw him tie up close home. He looks well handicapped and can prove that point here.[Paul Smith]
Race 126: 17:20 Tampa Bay Downs Race 1 - Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
5th (6) Garmento | | | | | 5 | Scott Spieth | Anthony Russo | Successful twice at 1m. Finished behind B G Lee when sixth of 9 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. It's best to look elsewhere. |
2nd (3) My Way Or No Way | | | | | 5 | Angel Arroyo | Carlos Munoz | Successful at 5f and 1m. Third of 8 behind Gabbysonholiday beaten at 25-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. He must now build on that improved bid. |
1st (5) Hollywood Closeup | | | | | 4 | Jose Ferrer | Wayne Potts | Successful at 7f and 1m. A winner at 7-2 at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Unxpected Tiger. A double could be on the cards. |
4th (2) Pleasant Valiant | | | | | 4 | Samy Camacho | Kathleen O'Connell | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten by B G Lee when second of 9 at 7-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. Another prominent showing is forecast. |
3rd (7) Gonna Be Epic | | | | | 6 | Alex Gonzalez | Jose Delgado | Successful twice at 1m, but last win was over two years ago. Third of 7 behind No More Debt beaten at 17-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month. A return to this trip should help. |
(1) Hello Sucker | | | | | 4 | Skyler Spanabel | Monica McGoey | Successful twice at 1m. Third of 9 behind B G Lee beaten at 5-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. Improvement will be required. |
(4) Harry's Onthebeach | | | | | 5 | Melissa Iorio | Jose D Angelo | Successful twice at 5f. Finished behind B G Lee when fourth of 9 at 16-10fav on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. Others are more compelling. |
Hollywood Closeup and GONNA BE EPIC bring the strongest form to the table, with the latter edging the vote in receipt of 2lb. Pleasant Valiant shouldn't be far behind.
Race 127: 17:20 Limerick Panoramic Restaurant At Limerick Racecourse Novice Handicap Hurdle IRE 2m 190y - All Limerick Races
(13) Drop The Harrow | | | | | | 8 | | Moses McCabe | Showed very little in six hurdle runs for his two previous trainers; pulled up on seasonal/stable debut in Naas event won by Ernie From Nurney; makes no appeal. |
3rd (8) Snow Punt | | | | | | 7 | Darragh O'Keeffe | Brendan Maurice Walsh | Point winner; ordinary form in maiden hurdles; chance is not obvious on handicap debut. |
(12) Irish Impulse | | | | | | 6 | Phillip Enright | Robert Tyner | Hinted at ability in maidens; has struggled in handicaps at Clonmel and Naas, the most recent in race on Ernie From Nurney. |
4th (10) Bigira | | | | | | 5 | Dillon Butler | Mark Fahey | Made the frame in a bumper last summer; unconvincing form in maiden hurdles; handicap debut. |
(5) Grivei | | | | | | 7 | Ricky Doyle | Eoin Griffin | Showed decent bumper form for Willie Mullins; no sign of comparable form for this yard; towards the rear at Naas in January in his first handicap. |
(9) Noble Crusade | | | | | | 6 | Kieren Buckley | John C McConnell | Won easily over 1m4f at Dundalk in February; unplaced at Chelmsford three weeks ago; relatively unexposed over hurdles; may want better ground and needs to improve considerably on what he has shown in two handicap attempts, but worth considering. |
(11) Brilliant Question | | | | | | 7 | Robbie Geoghegan | K A Heffernan | Modest handicapper; off the mark on tenth start over hurdles when coming off pace to win 2m event at this venue in January on heavy; out of her depth in the Red Mills at Gowran last time; respected back in her grade. |
(7) Agent Tequila | | | | | | 6 | Michael O'Sullivan | John C McConnell | Point winner last October at the sixth attempt; well held in maiden hurdles but has kept good company; not easy to assess. |
(2) Hypersonic Missile | | | | | | 5 | Sean Flanagan | Gavin Cromwell | Point winner in Britain and bumper scorer for John McConnell at Sedgefield, both successes on good ground; has failed to match that form in four maiden hurdle starts for this yard; the bar is not set high for handicap debut, but going may not be ideal, |
(4) Jay Pee M | | | | | | 5 | Sam Ewing | Daniel William O'Sullivan | Placed on all three handicap starts; creeping up in the ratings but can remain competitive; concerning that he showed a tendency to hang to the left when third here last week. |
(1) Sainte Baol | | | | | | 6 | Jack Kennedy | Gordon Elliott | Won her sole point-to-point for Pat Doyle early last year; ordinary form in bumper and maiden hurdles so far, but may now find her level in handicap company |
2nd (6) Aboy Joey | | | | | | 5 | G B Noonan | Eoin Christopher McCarthy | Huge prices in three maiden hurdles and little sign of ability; found his level in handicap company at Cork, running on strongly for second in a 2m contest; holds an obvious chance. |
1st (3) Ernie From Nurney | | | | | | 7 | Peter Smithers | Padraig Roche | Returned from a break with two runs over fences; reverted to hurdling at Naas last time, and looked like an improving sort in winning a 25-runner contest; his trainer observed that he is a big horse who has taken time to mature; further progress on the cards, may cope with 6lb rise. |
The physically imposing ERNIE FROM NURNEY (nap) is maturing along the right lines and may cope with the 6lb extra received for a Naas win. Possible dangers are Jay Pee M, who has been showing consistent form, and Aboy Joey, whose handicap debut at Cork was encouraging. Brilliant Question is sharply down in grade after an ambitious run last time. [Alan Sweetman]
Race 128: 17:23 Vincennes Prix Martha - Attele - All Vincennes Races
4th (4) Inside Man | | | | | 6 | P Y Verva | P Y Verva | Capable provincial trotter that came 2nd of 11 in a 2500m Reims amateurs Class G 11 days ago. Has a mountain to climb this time though and can be ruled out |
3rd (9) Chitchat | | | | | 7 | B Goop | Daniel Wajersten | Quickly sanctioned in a Class C over track and trip on 22 March. Has otherwise been in cracking form and can play a leading role if Bjorn Goop keeps him trotting |
2nd (10) Bitcoind'Arc | | | | | 7 | F Nivard | H E Bondo | 2nd to CHITCHAT (9) at Enghien before clinching victory in a Class C over course and distance on 22 March and, with form maintained, can trot his way onto the podium |
1st (11) Cobra Killer Gar | | | | | 6 | G Gelormini | H E Bondo | Scored his 2nd straight when securing a 2100m Vincennes Class C with ease a fortnight ago. Unbeaten over 2700m here and will be expected to remain that way |
(1) Django Silver | | | | | 6 | P Vercruysse | C H Eriksson | Unseen since being sanctioned in a 2850m Class B here last December. Has struggled since coming to France and even racing barefoot, will still have his work cut out |
(2) Idaho | | | | | 6 | A Laurent | C Herserant | Good 3rd of 16 in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 8 March. Cannot be considered a priority but should still acquit himself honestly |
(3) Charles Op | | | | | 6 | J M Bazire | J M Bazire | 3rd of 5 finishers in a 2750m monte Class F at La Capelle on 7 April. Better in the other code but races barefoot, with JMB reining, and is not to be ignored |
(5) Halo Am | | | | | 7 | Y Lebourgeois | D Locqueneux | 3rd to BITCOIND'ARC (10) here last month before securing a 2600m Cavaillon Class F a fortnight ago. Reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois and will be afforded every chance |
(6) Ideal San Leandro | | | | | 6 | E Raffin | R Westerink | Failed to confirm good Cagnes run when 11th of 16 in a 2850m Vincennes Class C late last month and already looks an also-ran |
(7) Iris Intense | | | | | 6 | D Thomain | J Bruneau | Dominated a decent field to win a 2100m Class D here on 22 March. Has respectable main-track references and, on good behaviour, should not disappoint |
(8) Imperator D'Ela | | | | | 6 | A Barrier | M Varin | Missed out on the hat-trick when 2nd of 15 in a 2875m Argentan Class E 3 weeks ago. In superior company this time but can still hold his own |
Winner of his last 2 here, including over 2700m, COBRA KILLER GAR (11) drops marginally in category and should have this in the bag. Gabriele Gelormini can expect to feel some heat from compatriots, the good CHITCHAT (9) who can be excused last month's sanction, and BITCOIND'ARC (10) who defied his odds to win here late last month. 3rd that day before imposing in the provinces, HALO AM (5) is not going to be far off the mark.
Race 129: 17:25 Laurel Park Race 1 - Claiming - All Laurel Park Races
1st (7) Lilly Lightning | | | | | 3 | Tais Lyapustina | Rodney Jenkins | A winner at 6f. Beaten behind Ree Nee's Six at 35-1 when seventh of 9 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Not ruled out. |
3rd (3) Sheherhers | | | | | 3 | Jaime Rodriguez | Michael Gorham | Successful twice at 6f. A winner at 6-1 at Laurel Park over 6f on her latest outing earlier this month, beating Tina Tina Tina. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Timothy Keefe. Enters calculations, even though this is more demanding. |
2nd (1) Classic Diva | | | | | 3 | Jeiron Barbosa | David Duggan | Successful twice at 6f. Finished behind Anna's Wish when fourth of 6 at 9-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in February. The drop in grade is a positive. |
(2) Velvet Vixen | | | | | 3 | Angel Rodriguez | Cathal Lynch | A winner at 4f. Finished 13l behind Back Forty when fifth of 7 at 13-1 on her latest outing at Penn National over 6f in February. Needs to raise her game. |
(4) Buckin' Great | | | | | 3 | Xavier Perez | John Robb | A winner at 5f. Finished 7l behind Carmelina when sixth of 9 at 18-1 on her latest outing at Colonial Downs over 5f in August last year. Worth a second look. |
(5) Frosty Maya | | | | | 3 | Jean Briceno | Gina Perri | Dam won twice at 1m. A winner at 14-5 at Laurel Park over 6f on her racecourse debut last month, beating Confluence Lassie. She is open to any amount of improvement and must be considered. |
(6) Bunny Hop | | | | | 3 | Jean Alvelo | Benjamin Feliciano, Jr | A winner at 6f. Beaten 20l behind True Sunshine at 9-1 when last of 9 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f earlier this month. Will do well to win this. |
(8) No Walk Inthe Park | | | | | 3 | J G Torrealba | Kieron Magee | Won on her latest outing when 9-10fav at Laurel Park over 7f last month, beating Easter Sunday Girl. Has more on her plate here. |
CLASSIC DIVA is already proven at a higher level than this and she is fancied to take full advantage of a drop in grade. Buckin' Great and Lilly Lightning head the list of dangers.
Race 130: 17:30 Exeter Bell Inn Bovey Tracey Novices' Handicap Hurdle (Div I) (0-100) (5) 4yo+ GB 2m 2f 111y - All Exeter Races
(9) Pescatorius | | | | | | 5 | Ben Poste | Harriet Dickin | Trainer going well but this one made a low-key start to his handicap career when pulled up at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) last month and he has it to prove after that. |
(3) The Cypriot | | | | | | 5 | Jordan Nailor | Evan Williams | Some minor promise when fourth of nine finishers over 2m (soft) here in March but he came off the bridle going out on the final circuit at Fontwell 22 days ago and completed in his own time; the hope here is that he'll fare better back on a galloping track now handicapping. |
(6) Dixie Flyer | | | | | | 8 | David Bass | Sean Curran | Bumper winner who was in the frame four times over hurdles in Ireland but has not yet found his form for new connections since back from a layoff and continues best watched. |
(10) My Lady Phoenix | | | | | | 6 | David Noonan | Jeremy Scott | Has acted on soft ground but she's been pulled up in both handicaps at about 2m4f on that surface and heavy; the addition of a hood clearly needs to make all the difference. |
2nd (8) Hillsin | | | | | | 6 | Beau Morgan | Alan Jones | Maiden; capable of a good run on his day but his handicap form has been mixed for different trainers and he didn't run well for the current one in January; had wind surgery since but not too tempting. |
(2) Zoeman | | | | | | 5 | Jonathan Burke | Tom George | Best hurdle form on second start, when fifth of 11 finishers in a competitive Ludlow maiden (2m, soft) in February, but his finishing effort was weak at Wincanton 23 days ago; handicaps offer more scope but he needs to show he can handle a stiff finish. |
4th (4) Electric Eddy | | | | | | 6 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Well-connected 6yo; off since August when he didn't put up much of a show but he had done better previously, when fifth of 14 in a 1m7f Roscommon maiden; well worth a market check for new yard on first handicap start. |
(5) Imperial Jade | | | | | | 5 | Lilly Pinchin | Charlie Longsdon | Won 2m juvenile hurdle last April but not gone on from that, in a 2m handicap and mares' events, albeit was well out of the weights at Newbury last month; this is more her level but others still more obvious. |
1st (11) Captain Wallace | | | | | | 6 | Dylan Johnston | Sam Thomas | Just touched off in an Irish point last spring but his hurdle career has got off to a slow start and despite going off joint-favourite he was no better for the move into handicaps at Hereford (2m5f, soft; first-time hood, discarded today) in February; now has it to prove. |
(7) Paddy In The Caddy | | | | | | 5 | Sean Houlihan | Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | Runner-up in Irish point; nothing doing in qualifying runs on good to soft and slower ground but the return to good ground suited when making a successful switch to this level at Huntingdon (2m4f) last month, winning with something to spare; that wasn't a competitive race but he's only 4lb higher and has more to come. |
3rd (1) Soir De Gala | | | | | | 5 | Lorcan Williams | Paul Nicholls | His qualifying runs weren't up to much but he has proved ahead of his mark since handicapping this month, going close at Plumpton (2m1f, good) before a 3l win at Taunton (2m, soft) was no real indication of his superiority; was due a 7lb rise there and now has a penalty on top but he may well be up to the task. |
The two recent winners, Soir De Gala and PADDY IN THE CADDY, can have this between them. Lorcan Williams did not have to be at all hard on the former at Taunton last week but he is effectively 14lb higher on his third quick run. He is still much respected but Paddy In The Caddy also made a good impression when winning at Huntingdon and the drying ground will perhaps be more of a help to him than Soir De Gala whose latest improved run was on soft. Electric Eddy is worth a market check on his British debut while The Cypriot and Zoeman are possible types for handicaps.[Emily Weber]

(8) Khewilltu | | | | | | 5 | Cian Quirke | John F O'Neill | Tailed off in four starts at triple figure odds so far and off 325 days. |
(9) Kinski | | | | | | 5 | Philip Donovan | Patrick G Kelly | Tailed off 200-1 shot at Cork last month; best watched dropping in trip. |
(6) Fairytale New York | | | | | | 5 | Daniel King | A J Martin | Pulled up on debut and tailed off at huge prices twice since. |
(11) Ontheblind | | | | | | 5 | Ambrose McCurtin | John F O'Neill | Mootaharer gelding; half-brother to point winner See A Stride; dam unraced sister to bumper/2m hurdle winner Old Tricks, half-sister to smart 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase winner According To John and 3m hurdle winner Simple Glory; stoutly bred and may need further. |
(13) Texas King | | | | | | 5 | Ryan Treacy | L Young | Youmzain gelding; dam 5f/6f winner (including 2yo; RPR 80), half-sister to winners Tender Process (5f-7f) and Lady Pahia (7f) out of 6f/7f winner; unlikely to be involved on debut. |
(16) Mayday Games | | | | | | 5 | Danny Gilligan | Paul John Gilligan | Pulled up when 250s for his debut at Limerick in January; off 80 days. |
(18) Youmzain Bolt | | | | | | 5 | | Eoin Christopher McCarthy | Youmzain gelding; half-brother to prolific 6f/7f winner Vallarta (including 2yo/AW; RPR 86); dam 1m4f winner (RPR 69) out of Listed-placed 7f/1m winner; unlikely to be involved on debut. |
(3) A Brave Man | | | | | | 5 | Mr T Walsh | Barry J Fitzgerald | Mahler gelding; cost 17,000euros as a foal; closely related to bumper winner Diamond River, half-brother to four winners including Are Ya Right Chief (bumper/2m6f hurdle) and Skorcher (bumper/2m6f hurdle); unraced dam from family of Grand National winner Royal Athlete; tough ask for a newcomer but any market support worth noting. |
(15) You're Kidding Me | | | | | | 4 | Simon Torrens | E Bolger | Finished alongside re-opposing stablemate Nicholas Street when tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Cork last month when 50-1; plenty to find. |
(14) Nicholas Street | | | | | | 4 | Jody McGarvey | E Bolger | Tailed off on debut in a maiden hurdle at Cork last month when 20-1, just ahead of re-opposing You're Kidding Me; may come on for that but needs to settle better and has a fair bit to find. |
4th (5) Eoin's Charm | | | | | | 5 | Trevor Ryan | Andrew Slattery | Califet gelding; cost 13,000euros as a foal; dam unraced half-sister to useful 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Field Commander, bumper/2m hurdle winner Rathmuck Native and 2m1f/2m5f Flat and 2m2f-2m5f hurdle winner Point The Toes; newcomer and may want further. |
(1) Highland King | | | | | | 5 | Ben Harvey | John C McConnell | Flat winner off 57 at Dundalk last month but was well held on his only previous hurdle outing a year ago; tough ask back in this sphere. |
(12) Opposite Ends | | | | | | 6 | Philip Byrnes | C Byrnes | Unseated in Irish Point's maiden hurdle at Cork 18 months ago; will probably appreciate further than this and best watched after 516 days off. |
1st (10) On The Steel | | | | | | 5 | Charlie O'Dwyer | Conor O'Dwyer | Beaten less than 2l in a Roscommon bumper on debut and ran to a similar level when a distant fourth in a Navan bumper since; each-way claims on hurdle bow here. |
3rd (2) Napper Tandy | | | | | | 6 | James Smith | Matthew J Smith | Useful performer on the Flat for Andrew Balding and two solid efforts in maiden hurdles since switching to this yard; off 11 months but will be a major player if fit in this field. |
(7) Giant Haystacks | | | | | | 5 | Brian Hayes | Barry J Fitzgerald | Had a tough ask on debut in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse in December; no doubt this is easier and wasn't disgraced having been beaten 26l but will need to settle better and improve after 139 days off. |
2nd (4) Doctor Glide | | | | | | 6 | Keith Donoghue | Tom Dreaper | Distant fourth behind Firefox and Ballyburn on debut at Fairyhouse was promising and bounced back from a lesser run when third of 20 at Down Royal last month; interesting if first-time cheekpieces eke out a bit more. |
A chance is taken on the fitness of NAPPER TANDY (nap) who was useful on the Flat in Britain and made a highly promising start to life in this sphere when last seen. Doctor Glide has shown ability and should be involved if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect. Giant Haystacks ought to appreciate this drop in class. [Phill Anderson]
Race 132: 17:45 Bath Whitsbury Manor Stud / British EBF Lansdown Stakes (Listed Race) (Fillies & Mares) GB 5f 10y - All Bath Races
(2) Glamorous Breeze | | | | | | 6 | William Cox | Christopher Mason | Wins have come in the summer and she's well suited by easy/undulating courses; was better than ever last year but has tended to improve for a run or two and she's among the lowest rated back from six months off. |
(8) Star Of Lady M | | | | | | 4 | Jason Watson | David O'Meara | Back to something like her 2yo levels on the AW this winter and continues in good form; this is far tougher back on turf however, with her among the lowest rated, and she'll be doing well to make the frame. |
(12) Tears Of A Clown | | | | | | 3 | Trevor Whelan | Henry Candy | Kept to good to soft/soft ground by two yards last year, progressing with each start prior to pulling away her chances in Group 3 company latterly (behind Unbreak My Heart); remains open to further improvement after just four runs. |
(11) Exponista | | | | | | 3 | Billy Loughnane | David Loughnane | Her small-field maiden win last summer (6f, good; made all) hasn't worked out and she may prove hard to place this time, having subsequently not been beaten far in a muddling Group 3; would be a surprise winner here in any case. |
(4) Pepsi Cat | | | | | | 5 | Dougie Costello | Steph Hollinshead | C&D win last summer came in 0-65 company, since when she's enjoyed a good time on Tapeta, with four victories from her last six runs; she's very consistent and likely to give her running again but that would leave her some way short of what's needed. |
(3) Lil Guff | | | | | | 5 | Dylan Hogan | Daniel & Claire Kubler | Has done her winning in batches, often over another furlong, and always after a recent outing; is entitled to have come on for her recent AW comeback but she'd have been 21lb better off with Vadream were this a handicap. |
4th (7) Sophia's Starlight | | | | | | 4 | Sam James | Grant Tuer | Five-time winner last year (6f-7f), all from the front; got buzzed up on her comeback last month and is better than that but this is her first crack at 5f and she could have done with the rain continuing. |
2nd (1) Electric Storm | | | | | | 4 | Neil Callan | James Tate | Two solid efforts at Kempton late last summer, coming away with the favourite on debut (7f) before making all to beat two subsequent winners (6f); stable had made a flying start to the year, prior to a quieter spell, but she'll need a good step forward. |
(5) Pinafore | | | | | | 4 | Cieren Fallon | William Haggas | Stable still to hit top gear for the season and this filly, whose four wins have come over 6f, including on soft ground last autumn, could have done without the drying weather back from six months off; the cheekpieces definitely helped last backend though. |
(13) Unbreak My Heart | | | | | | 3 | John Fahy | Clive Cox | Steady progression last year, closing out with a solid third in Group 3 company; can race keenly and is usually dropped in, which is likely to be the case again from the outside stall, and she's one of the more interesting contenders. |
(6) Rage Of Bamby | | | | | | 4 | Charles Bishop | Eve Johnson Houghton | Didn't enjoy much luck during a limited campaign last year but there are no concerns about her ability to run to her best when fresh and a stiff 5f on drying ground is fine; she's one to consider. |
3rd (9) Vadream | | | | | | 6 | Callum Shepherd | Charlie Fellowes | Three wins have come in the spring/autumn on soft/heavy ground, two of them over 6f (stays 7f fine); has no penalty for last May's Group 3 win (ran three times in Group 1s subsequently) but she could have done without the improved weather. |
1st (10) Adaay In Devon | | | | | | 3 | Silvestre De Sousa | Rod Millman | Highly progressive in the second half of last year for tackling soft/heavy turf, winning four times and going 26lb up the weights; has looked at least as good this spring but she'd have preferred the rain to keep falling. |
5f on drying ground, even round a stiff course, wouldn't look optimal for either Pinafore, whose wins have all come over 6f, or last spring's Group 3 Palace House winner Vadream, whose three turf victories have come on soft/heavy going, especially with both returning from absences. Adaay In Devon is another who'd have preferred the rain to have kept coming and this can go to RAGE OF BAMBY, a useful juvenile who didn't get the breaks during a limited campaign last year. Electric Storm is having her first run on turf and first crack at 5f back from seven months off, leaving Unbreak My Heart, who had the hard-pulling Tears Of A Clown behind when closing out last season with a third in Group 3 company, as second choice.[Graham Wheldon]
Race 133: 17:50 Tampa Bay Downs Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
3rd (4) Krabi | | | | | 4 | Skyler Spanabel | Karyn Philipp | She has won three times from 7f to 1m. A winner at 35-1 at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Calisue. She's not easily dismissed after that romp. |
4th (7) Passionfortreasure | | | | | 7 | Huber Villa Gomez | Alejandro Mendieta | Has won nine races from 6f to 1m. A winner at 15-2 at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Tiz Herself by 1 1/4l. This demands more off top weight. |
5th (6) Waterworks | | | | | 5 | Pablo Morales | Pedro Posadas | She has won four times at 1m. Beaten by Village Queen when second of 7 at 3-5fav on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Victor Carrasco Jr. One of the more likely winners. |
2nd (3) Aferdita | | | | | 5 | Ricardo Feliciano | Benny Feliciano | Has won eight races from 5f to 1m. Third of 6 behind Passionfortreasure beaten 1 1/2l at 9-5 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. A similar effort is likely to see her in the mix. |
1st (2) Tiz Herself | | | | | 6 | Gabriel Maldonado | John Rigattieri | Has won 16 races from 7f to 1m. Beaten 1 1/4l by Passionfortreasure when second of 6 at 4-5fav on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Every chance of reversing form with that reopposing winner. |
(1) Heartburn | | | | | 5 | Angel Rodriguez | Robert Werneth | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten 10l behind Anador at 33-1 when eighth of 9 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Another lesser role awaits. |
(5) Diamonds For Lily | | | | | 5 | Mario Fuentes | Steven Dye | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 6l behind Laloba Feroz when sixth of 9 at 66-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. A career best will be needed. |
Although demoted to second over C&D last time out, compensation could await WATERWORKS if running to a similar level. Tiz Herself and Aferdita top the list of threats.
Race 134: 17:50 Limerick Limerick Races On Instagram Maiden Hurdle IRE 3m - All Limerick Races
(10) Stellar Jury | | | | | | 5 | Sean O'Keeffe | V C Ward | Poor bumper form; massive price when tailed off on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse. |
(5) Le Goom | | | | | | 7 | Ricky Doyle | Eoin Griffin | Huge price when pulled up Naas early this month on his first run in almost a year; safe to leave him out of calculations. |
(1) Agree To Disagree | | | | | | 6 | Aidan Kelly | Padraig Roche | In rear in a Punchestown bumper; remote tenth on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse; tongue-tie now. |
(4) Kinturk Jack | | | | | | 7 | Kieren Buckley | Thomas Gibney | Has struggled in outings at Punchestown and Navan; trainer has a leading contender in Driscolls Hill. |
(9) Larkins Lane | | | | | | 5 | A P Heskin | Ronald O'Leary | Newcomer by Dylan Thomas out of a Good Thyne mare who won over hurdles at a modest level; not an obvious contender first time out. |
1st (2) Dancingondaceiling | | | | | | 5 | Sean Flanagan | Alexander Ott | Made all to in a maiden on heavy ground at Knockanard in February; completely tailed off in a bumper at Cork. |
(7) Manatee Du Brizais | | | | | | 5 | Shane Fitzgerald | Declan Queally | Point winner; 1-4 in points; 80-1 when towards the rear on hurdling debut in a good maiden at Naas. |
4th (6) Lough Owel | | | | | | 6 | Jack Kennedy | Gordon Elliott | Point winner was placed in two bumpers; moderate effort in a 2m6f Navan maiden hurdle before a much-improved display at Cork, closely matched with Driscolls Hill on that evidence. |
2nd (3) Driscolls Hill | | | | | | 5 | Oakley Brown | Thomas Gibney | Won a point in January on his fourth start; not disgraced in a Navan maiden hurdle over 2m3f on stable/rules debut; proved his stamina when second at Cork; no match for the winner and now renews rivalry with Lough Owel who was 1/2l back in third |
3rd (8) Rokathir | | | | | | 5 | Darragh O'Keeffe | Henry De Bromhead | Won a Rathcannon point on second start for Colin Bowe last year and sold for E110,000; jumping was untidy when a remote fourth on hurdling debut at Leopardstown; hood and tongue-tie discarded now. |
This appears to be a match between two point winners who chased home an easy winner in a maiden hurdle at Cork. Runner-up DRISCOLLS HILL was the shorter-priced of the pair and gets the vote to confirm superiority with Lough Owel. An improved round of jumping might see Rokathir make his presence felt. [Alan Sweetman]
Race 135: 17:55 Laurel Park Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Laurel Park Races
2nd (7) Noah Chance | | | | | 4 | Jeiron Barbosa | John Robb | He has won three times at 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten behind Kadri at 39-1 when seventh of 10 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. He needs to better recent performances. |
1st (6) Hunter Joe | | | | | 6 | Jaime Rodriguez | Hamilton Smith | He has won four times from 5f to 1m on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Union Fleet when sixth of 8 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m in February. Up against it. |
3rd (3) Destin's Mission | | | | | 4 | Abner Adorno | John Servis | He has won three times from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 1 3/4l by Shekky Shebaz when second of 8 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f in February. Holds every chance. |
4th (8) Doctor Jeff | | | | | 5 | Sheldon Russell | Brittany Russell | He has won three times at 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 2-1 at Laurel Park over 6f (good) on his latest outing in June last year, beating Street Copper by 1 1/4l. Merits consideration. |
(1) Dunphy | | | | | 3 | Carol Cedeno | Rodolfo Salomon | He has won three times from 5f to 6f on the all-weather. Beaten behind King's River at 13-5jt-fav when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with John Ennis. Others make greater appeal. |
(2) Psychedelic Shack | | | | | 6 | Victor Carrasco | Mark Beecher | He has won three times at 5f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 9l behind S. Muffin when fifth of 8 at 13-1 on his latest outing at Delaware Park over 5f (good) in June last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Mary Eppler. The market can guide ahead of his return to action. |
(4) Phantom Smoke | | | | | 6 | Horacio Karamanos | Michael Miceli | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 7l behind Smithwick's Spice at 9-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 5f (good) in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Derek Ryan. Could land a blow. |
(5) Lucci | | | | | 5 | Andy Hernandez | Michael Moore | He has won four times at 5f on good ground. Beaten 1/2l by Rebel Posse when second of 9 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f (good) in November last year. Expected to mount a serious challenge. |
(9) Uncle Dar | | | | | 4 | Manuel Aguilar | Kimberly Graci | He has won three times from 5f to 6f on the all-weather. Finished 7l behind Meet Me At Mundis when fifth of 6 at 13-5 on his latest outing at Penn National over 6f last month. Needs more. |
(10) Mid Day Image | | | | | 8 | Angel Cruz | David Jacobson | Has won 13 races from 5f to 1m 3f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 1 3/4l behind Rebel Posse when fourth of 9 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f (good) in November last year. One to note. |
Having struck the woodwork over track and trip last time, LUCCI can go one better, possibly at the main expense of Destin's Mission. Mid Day Image is also noted.
Race 136: 17:58 Vincennes Prix Lumen - Attele - All Vincennes Races
3rd (4) Kayne Richer | | | | | 4 | F Joseph | F Joseph | Encouraged here early last month before losing his action, when well-supported, in a 2875m Class E at Meslay-du-Maine 18 days later. Not a priority but still has the wherewithal to get a look-in |
4th (11) King Of Day | | | | | 4 | J Lebouteiller | J Lebouteiller | 6th of 16 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E a month back. Shod more competitively this time but still looks to have too much to do |
1st (8) Koziello De Lou | | | | | 4 | Y Lebourgeois | D Delaroche | Reassuring 4th, a place behind KOUTBOL (12), in a 2450m Caen Class E on 27 March. Will be fully-fit by now and with a leading driver reining, must be afforded considerable respect |
2nd (9) Keep Out | | | | | 4 | B Goop | B Goop | Unbeaten in 3 starts to date, most recently a tenacious winner of a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E a fortnight ago. First time racing over the main track but has already won at the venue and can confirm |
(1) Kazan Beach | | | | | 4 | F Lagadeuc | F Harel | Ran close at Caen early-March before faulting in a 2850m Laval Class E late last month. Shoes on and will be no easy touch if Francois Lagadeuc keeps him trotting |
(2) Kross Fingers | | | | | 4 | M Mottier | M Mottier | Showed improvement when 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-March. Is on the way back up and appears to represent a decent first-5 prospect |
(3) Kador Du Mont | | | | | 4 | P Ph Ploquin | Emilien Raulline | Won 2 on the trot before being sent for a break and defied his odds on re-entry when 4th of 13 in a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to spring a surprise but should still give an honest account |
(5) Kano | | | | | 4 | C Megissier | C Megissier | Erratic colt but reassured when 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2150m Argentan Class E 3 weeks ago. If focused and in similar form, there should be a cheque in it for him |
(6) Kokin De Bellande | | | | | 4 | P Vercruysse | P Vercruysse | Returned to winning ways in a 2600m Nancy Class F 3 weeks ago. In this company though, will need to find significantly more |
(7) Kaiser Gibus | | | | | 4 | J Guelpa | J Guelpa | Modest individual that was sanctioned, when left alone in the markets, in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class D last week and will not be springing any surprises |
(10) Kenavo Herblinaie | | | | | 4 | M Abrivard | J Audran | 7th, behind KING OF DAY (11) in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E a month ago. Useful on a good day but is expected to need the outing |
(12) Koutbol | | | | | 4 | Cl Duvaldestin | T H Duvaldestin | Has demonstrated considerable aptitude, latterly missing out by little for 2nd in a 2450m Caen Class E on 27 March. Debuts at Vincennes but can make this his own if he takes to the new profile |
A colt with a fine future, KOUTBOL (12) makes his Vincennes debut at the top of his game and should be good enough to wrap this up. Clement Duvaldestin will still be paying attention to the unbeaten and progressive KEEP OUT (9) who also has claims on the trophy, and the tricky but useful KOZIELLO DE LOU (8) who is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois. KAZAN BEACH (1) has shoes back on and should logically make up for his Laval sanction.
Race 137: 18:00 Keeneland Race 1 - Maiden Claiming - All Keeneland Races
4th (4) Lynna | | | | | 4 | Corey Lanerie | Alice Cohn | Unplaced in all three starts. Beaten 10l behind Candy Bar at 22-1 when last of nine on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) in February. One to avoid. |
3rd (6) Xtra Extraordinary | | | | | 3 | James Graham | Rick Hiles | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 4l behind Frolic In The Park when fourth of seven at 11-4 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Rodolphe Brisset. Improvement required. |
1st (7) She's Splendid | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Michael Tomlinson | Placed twice in six starts. Third of seven behind Frolic In The Park beaten 3l at 7-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Others are preferred. |
2nd (8) Greyhound Station | | | | | 3 | Jaime Torres | Albert Stall | Placed once in four starts. Finished 15l behind When I Look At You when fifth of seven at 5-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m (firm) last month. A key player. |
(1) Bolt On The Rocks | | | | | 3 | Luan Machado | Jose Delima | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 2 3/4l behind Mitole Magic when fifth of 11 at 12-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Mick Sr Ruis. Easily overlooked. |
(2) Ava's Storm | | | | | 5 | Charle Oliveros | Eric Reed | Placed in four of eight starts. Finished 7l behind Sassy Walker when fifth of 11 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time, which could have a positive effect. |
(3) Oh Macarena | | | | | 3 | Mitchell Murrill | Brian Williamson | Placed once in four starts. Beaten 1 1/4l by Sharp Flame when second of eight at 20-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m last month. Can go one better. |
(5) Pigeon Cay | | | | | 4 | John McKee | Eric Reed | Placed once in four starts. Finished 4l behind Royal Diamond when fifth of 12 at 17-5 on her latest outing at Belterra Park over 5f (good) in August last year. Difficult to recommend. |
Not beaten far over further at Fair Grounds last time out, OH MACARENA should be suited by dropping back in trip and she can get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Ava's Storm and Greyhound Station need considering as well.
Race 138: 18:00 Exeter Bell Inn Bovey Tracey Novices' Handicap Hurdle (Div II) (0-100) (5) 4yo+ GB 2m 2f 111y - All Exeter Races
8th (5) Kingoftheswingerz | | | | | | 5 | Ben Poste | Harriet Dickin | Wasn't beaten too far in a good-ground Hereford bumper in November; minor hurdle form on testing surfaces since but perhaps the drying ground will be an asset on his handicap debut. |
(7) Totowolfe | | | | | | 7 | David Noonan | Nigel Hawke | Irish point winner; still finding his feet over hurdles but this lesser test of stamina than on 2m7f handicap debut at Ascot (good) may well see improvement; first-time tongue tied there and cheekpieces now added, which is a complication. |
(10) Buck Of Maine | | | | | | 5 | James Bowen | Peter Bowen | Close up in a small-field bumper on good ground last spring; well held when completing in novice hurdles since but the return to a sound surface could make a difference at this more realistic level. |
5th (3) Groom De Cotte | | | | | | 8 | David Bass | Sean Curran | Still a maiden and he fell over fences here when last seen in December but he's had wind surgery since, conditions will suit and the handicapper has given him a chance; close up if back to best. |
7th (1) Can't Say | | | | | | 9 | Joe Anderson | Chris Down | Very lightly raced for his age but he has strung some races together this winter and his third of eight finishers here (2m, soft) in March was promising in the context of him now making his handicap debut over an extra 2f; can figure. |
6th (4) Thurley | | | | | | 5 | Micheal Nolan | Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | Quite promising hurdle debut at Wincanton in October but he ran poorly here next time; ran to a similar level as his debut when back at Wincanton in January (1m7f, good to soft) and interesting to see whether there's any strength in the market behind him now he switches to this level. |
(2) Miss Hunky Dory | | | | | | 6 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Ben Clarke | In the frame in two novice hurdles at about 2m last month, on heavy and soft; well-connected mare who looks a likely improver for the step up in trip on this stiff track now switched to a handicap; one of a handful to consider. |
4th (11) Harry's Hope | | | | | | 6 | Beau Morgan | Ben Pauling | Good-ground Irish point winner; has not scorched the earth over hurdles but she's already dropped 11lb for two handicap runs and the combination of that and the return to good going could see much better today. |
2nd (9) Elusiveness | | | | | | 5 | Lorcan Williams | Jeremy Scott | Minor promise in maiden and novice hurdles at 1m7f-2m3f; unraced on ground quicker than good to soft and has more of a Flat pedigree but goes handicapping off a lowly mark so has to be worth a look. |
3rd (8) Star Of Affinity | | | | | | 5 | Freddie Gingell | Joe Tizzard | Has hinted at ability over hurdles but he fell in January and was never doing enough to get involved in his first run at this level at Plumpton (2m1f, good) 18 days ago; this more demanding test should be in his favour and still early days. |
1st (6) Bullets Hill | | | | | | 6 | Charlie Deutsch | Ella Pickard | Dual bumper winner (good to soft) on stiff tracks; had some difficult tasks in qualifying runs but was much more at home on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) 13 days ago when a close third; dropped 1lb since and likely to be dangerous on the likely more suitable surface. |
Not the easiest of races to sort out with so many running at a more suitable level for the first time. CAN'T SAY shaped nicely on his latest hurdle run here and he may be able to give the weight away but dual bumper winner Bullets Hill can improve on his recent handicap debut now back on a less testing surface and may be the main danger ahead of Star Of Affinity and Elusiveness.[Emily Weber]
Race 139: 18:07 Ballinrobe McGrath Limestone Works Handicap Hurdle IRE 2m 1f 144y - All Ballinrobe Races
4th (8) Young Fitzy | | | | | | 9 | Cian Quirke | Norman Lee | Has been running quite creditably off his lower hurdles mark before pulled up after some indifferent jumping back chasing at Clonmel last time; back from a short break and has it all to do from 13lb out of handicap. |
(2) Champagne Platinum | | | | | | 10 | Luke Donnelly | E Bolger | Was gaining third win over hurdles when taking 2m Gowran handicap in testing conditions in January under today's rider; plenty keen and didn't get home over 3m at Cork latest and back in trip here. |
(6) The Dasher Conway | | | | | | 9 | Jordan Gainford | Mrs Gillian Callaghan | Has won twice over hurdles and ran away with Tramore handicap chase last summer; just denied in Fairyhouse handicap hurdle (off 114) in October before well held in competitive Cheltenham handicap chase later same month; absent since and may need this but remains on a fair mark. |
3rd (3) Zoffanien | | | | | | 7 | John Shinnick | Denis Gerard Hogan | Three hurdle wins include this event in 2021 (off 132) and Killarney handicap following year; regressive last year, standout run this season when third at Thurles; withdrawn on heavy at same track since so drying likely needed here. |
(5) Belle The Lioness | | | | | | 7 | Rachael Blackmore | Henry De Bromhead | Bumper/maiden hurdle winner whose best recent run came when second in Tramore handicap on New Year's Day; following month ran well for long way when midfield in very valuable Leopardstown mares' handicap; drops in grade here and one to consider. |
2nd (1) Kings Hill | | | | | | 5 | Jack G Gilligan | Paul John Gilligan | Lightly raced 5yo justified favouritism in 2m Thurles maiden in February on soft-to-heavy; not disgraced when huge jump in class in Grade 1 Supreme Novices' last month when beaten 15l; very interesting now switched to handicaps with likely more to offer and handles conditions; rider's claim a positive. |
(4) Barnacullia | | | | | | 7 | Keith Donoghue | Michael Mulvany | Versatile 7yo won on the flat last year and took his chase mark to 15lb above current hurdles mark when second in Listowel handicap; absent since close fourth over hurdles at Galway in October on heavy; lack of a recent run a concern but handles most conditions and has to be respected. |
1st (7) Cheerful Chap | | | | | | 7 | Simon Torrens | P J Rothwell | Has returned in fine form for current yard, outstayed when second over 2m4f at Cork before made plenty of use of dropped in trip at Naas on Monday, seeing it out well under a diminishing margin; quick return under mandatory 7lb penalty. |
Monday's Naas winner Cheerful Chap holds obvious appeal but the mandatory 7lb penalty could make him vulnerable here. Handicap debutant KINGS HILL gets in here off a mark of 130 after a creditable run in the Supreme Novices' on what was only his fourth start over hurdles and he gets the vote. Barnacullia and Belle The Lioness are respected. [Alan Hewison]
Race 140: 18:10 Gulfstream Race 1 - Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
2nd (5) No Wasabi For Me | | | | | 4 | Fernando Jara | Cam Gambolati | Successful twice at 1m on the all-weather. Finished 19l behind Don't Get Pickled when last of 6 at 30-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m earlier this month. Faced a stiff test that day and may do better this time. |
1st (6) Dubstep | | | | | 5 | Edgard Zayas | Mary Eppler | Successful twice at 1m on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Goodbetterbest when fifth of 6 at 19-5 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Firmly in the mix for a place at least. |
5th (3) Andie One | | | | | 6 | Chris Landeros | P Biancone | Successful twice at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 5l behind Love Her Lots when fourth of 8 at 25-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) last month. Others appeal more. |
3rd (1) Lady Azteca | | | | | 4 | Marcos Meneses | A Sanchez | Successful twice at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Tiki Bar when fourth of 14 at 4-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Dangerous to dismiss. |
4th (2) Mad Madame Mim | | | | | 4 | Patrick Husbands | S Joseph Jr | Successful at 5f and 1m on the all-weather. Won on her latest outing when 9-10fav at Gulfstream over 1m in February, beating Nightsaber by 2 1/2l. Reliable and has to be taken seriously. |
(4) Into Touring | | | | | 5 | Edwin Gonzalez | Peter Walder | Successful at 5f and 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 5 behind Imperiously beaten 3 1/2l at 11-2 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. In the mix. |
(7) L. E. Gray | | | | | 6 | Miguel Vasquez | David Fawkes | Successful at 5f and 1m on the all-weather. Finished 12l behind Chloe's Toy when last of 6 at 25-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Opposable back up in trip. |
Dubstep and Lady Azteca are strong contenders and warrant serious consideration, but the consistent MAD MADAME MIM had plenty in hand when winning last time and is hard to oppose in her bid to follow up.
Race 141: 18:15 Bath Sergei Prokofiev Standing At Whitsbury Manor Restricted Maiden Stakes (Bands C-D) (GBB) GB 1m - All Bath Races
(8) Tomorrow Day | | | | | | 3 | Tyler Heard | Mark Usher | Best of four efforts for Seamus Durack when fourth of ten on nursery debut at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last September, but was only racing off a mark of 54; makes his stable debut (same owner) after eight months off having been gelded in the meantime; needs plenty more. |
(12) Frontpagemoos | | | | | | 3 | Kieran O'Neill | Joe Ponting | Huge prices and well held in four starts on the AW this year including on handicap debut; hard to fancy. |
(1) Voix De Bocelli | | | | | | 4 | Cieren Fallon | Henrietta C Knight | Twice placed over hurdles in France last autumn and both starts in AW novices (1m/1m2f) this month haven't been without promise; may show a bit more once handicapped after this, though. |
(3) Enzo Maresca | | | | | | 3 | Lewis Edmunds | Jennie Candlish | Half-brother to two winners including Rovienne (French 1m1f-1m4f including AW; RPR 103); dam French 1m winner (83), half-sister to French 6.5f/7f AW winner Rancon Royale out of Canadian 1m2f Grade 1 winner; something to like on pedigree, but only of interest if attracting support. |
(9) Airgunner | | | | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Jonathan Portman | Half-brother to winners Solar Flair (6f-7f including AW; 108), Warbird (7f 2yo/1m; 95) and New Queen (Italian 6f/7.5f; 89); dam 1m-1m2f winner (83), half-sister to 5f Group 3 winner Ziria (dam of 4 Listed winners); stable doesn't have many winning newcomers, but his pedigree makes him worth a second look. |
(4) Fortnum | | | | | | 3 | Billy Loughnane | George Boughey | Green when fifth of seven on his Wolverhampton debut (9.5f, AW) in January since when he has been gelded; worth a market check on return though drop in trip may not be ideal on pedigree. |
4th (11) Epidavros | | | | | | 3 | Silvestre De Sousa | David Loughnane | Dam unraced half-sister to French 7.5f 2yo/US 1m1f Grade 1 winner Amorama (dam of French 1m3f Group 2 winner Ampere) and Listed winners Table Ronde (French 1m) and Uncoiled (Japanese 1m2f); nice pedigree and the stable does have winning newcomers; interesting to see how she fares in the market with Silvestre De Sousa booked. |
(6) Happy Chandler | | | | | | 3 | Marco Ghiani | Michael Blake | Modest form in two starts for Owen Burrows last summer; makes his stable debut (same owners) after eight months off having been gelded in the meantime; needs to raise his game. |
1st (10) Volto Di Medusa | | | | | | 3 | Callum Shepherd | Rae Guest | Best effort in three starts for Joseph O'Brien last year when third of 13 in a Thurles maiden (1m, soft; first-time cheekpieces, now removed) on his final outing; changed hands for 21,000gns soon afterwards and makes his debut for his new yard (won this race two years ago) after 197 days off having been gelded in the meantime; interesting. |
3rd (2) Prefer The Sister | | | | | | 4 | Dylan Hogan | Jack Jones | Has shown ability in both starts over 7f on the AW since making her belated debut last month; the extra furlong should suit and although she can be handicapped after this, is still a player in this field. |
(7) Oscar Mike | | | | | | 3 | Ross Coakley | Ed Walker | 26,000gns yearling, 32,000gns 2yo; half-brother to five winners including Tuwaiq (1m/8.7f including 2yo/Sweden; RPR 101), Apercu (10.6f AW; 80) and Pallas Lord (multiple 7f/1m including AW; 74); dam 1m2f AW winner (64), half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Macadamia; makes some appeal on pedigree, but stable has few winning newcomers. |
2nd (5) God Bless America | | | | | | 3 | George Downing | Eve Johnson Houghton | Runner-up in both starts on the AW at Southwell (7f/1m) in the past two months; the form of neither race has worked out particularly well, but still a big player. |
Prefer The Sister and God Bless America have each shown ability in two starts on the AW and although the form may not be the strongest, they still have to be respected in this field. Money for any of the newcomers, in particular Airgunner and Epidavros, would be interesting, but the vote goes to VOLTO DI MEDUSA. His third of 13 at Thurles on his final start for Joseph O'Brien last year showed that there may be better to come and his new stable won this race in 2022.[David Bellingham]
Race 142: 18:20 Aqueduct Race 1 - Maiden Claiming - All Aqueduct Races
2nd (5) That'Sthefactjack | | | | | 3 | Gokhan Kocakaya | Domenick Schettino | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten behind Dynamic Pricing at 60-1 when 12th of 16 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m in November last year. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Others have more persuasive claims for the gold medal. |
1st (3) Isn't She Khozy | | | | | 3 | Luis Rivera Jr | Carlos Martin | Beaten behind She's Fire at 55-1 when seventh of 12 on her racecourse debut at Belmont Park over 6f (good) in July last year. Would be foolish to ignore. |
4th (4) Lumenique | | | | | 3 | Romero Maragh | Robert Ribaudo | Unplaced in both starts. Finished behind Best Impression when last of 5 at 19-5 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Warrants respect. |
3rd (6) Looks First | | | | | 3 | Jose Gomez | David Donk | Yet to place in three starts. Finished behind Autumn Evening when last of 5 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Warrants respect. |
(1) Maggie's Song | | | | | 3 | Lane Luzzi | Mark Hennig | Half-sister to Crypto Munny, won twice at 6f. Beaten behind Next On Stage at 19-2 when last of 7 on her racecourse debut at Aqueduct over 7f (good) in February. Claims if building on her debut effort. |
(2) Yingle Bells | | | | | 3 | Eliseo Ruiz | Gary Contessa | Dam won three times at 5f and 6f. Finished 10l behind Super Simplify when sixth of 8 at 14-5 on her racecourse debut at Laurel Park over 5f last month. Merits respect easing in grade. |
LUMENIQUE ran with more credit than the bare result suggests when finishing fifth over a mile in a higher grade last month and, dropping in trip with her sights lowered, she can open her account. Looks First and Maggie's Song can also make their presence felt.
Race 143: 18:20 Limerick Parade Ring Bar Handicap Hurdle IRE 2m 3f - All Limerick Races
(10) Deramore Park | | | | | | 9 | Robbie Geoghegan | Barry T Murphy | Ran respectably in a couple of maiden hurdles in late 2020; off for almost three years and ran only twice last year; very hard to make a case for her. |
(5) Derridae | | | | | | 9 | Donagh Meyler | Moses McCabe | Has been out of form since a couple of second placings last season, one of them over 2m at this venue; plenty to prove after failure to complete at Gowran in January. |
(9) Dream Once More | | | | | | 5 | Shane Fitzgerald | Declan Queally | Showed just a hint of ability in three maiden hurdles last autumn; big price when finishing last at Navan in her first handicap; seems safe to rule out |
(6) Farrokh | | | | | | 5 | Michael O'Sullivan | Barry Connell | Does not appeal as being well handicapped based on four maiden hurdle attempts; has time on his side but needs to show a spar of promise before becoming a betting proposition |
(11) Without Exception | | | | | | 5 | Sean O'Keeffe | P J Rothwell | In the money for the first time when third at Down Royal; probably on the upgrade but more needed to feature here |
3rd (4) Cosmic Rock | | | | | | 10 | G B Noonan | Eoin Christopher McCarthy | No sign of his best form since a third placing at this venue in December; new headgear combination tried; others preferred. |
2nd (8) Beeverstown Place | | | | | | 7 | Niall Moore | M A Cahill | Has run well in maiden/handicap hurdles at Clonmel over 2m; ran poorly on his first two visits to this track; much more encouraging run over C&D last week; blinkered now. |
4th (1) Wee Charlie | | | | | | 7 | Darragh O'Keeffe | Thomas Gibney | Held in second when falling in a chase at this venue last time; useful hurdles form last season, featuring a Naas win and seconds at Fairyhouse and Naas; |
1st (3) Cosmo Renfro | | | | | | 7 | Kieren Buckley | Shane Nolan | Won over 3m here earlier in the season and solid since, including when behind the progressive Aodhan May at Punchestown in February (3m1f); again had to settle for second behind Aodhan May here last week; this trip is two furlongs shorter, but strong contender all the same |
(2) Bonnie Kellie | | | | | | 7 | Phillip Enright | S Curling | Took a heavy fall in a handicap chase at Gowran last time; runs off 99 here so potentially very well handicapped relative to his 121 mark over fences; however, may need this to reboot her confidence. |
(7) Knockbrack Rambler | | | | | | 7 | Mr C J Shine | Brendan Maurice Walsh | Improved form when scoring over a furlong further than this at Cork a month ago; runner-up Shana Cloon is limited, but is a reliable yardstick; could be in the mix again off 6lb higher. |
Beaten by a progressive Charles Byrnes-trained mare here last week, COSMO RENFRO may be rewarded for his consistency. Last month's Cork winner Knockbrack Rambler should not be far away. Bonnie Kellie is potentially well treated relative to her ability over fences but she took a crashing fall in a chase last time. [Alan Sweetman]
Race 144: 18:23 Laurel Park Race 3 - Claiming - All Laurel Park Races
3rd (1) Rascally Rebel | | | | | 4 | Jorge Hernandez | Mario Serey, Jr | Successful twice at 6f. Finished behind Austin From Boston when last of 6 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f earlier this month. Must do better. |
1st (3) Aliferous | | | | | 7 | Jeiron Barbosa | Caitlin Keil | Successful at 7f and 1m. Finished behind Guapo Again when sixth of 8 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Looks vulnerable once more. |
5th (8) Nickel Nickel | | | | | 4 | Yomar Ortiz | Michael Jones | Successful at 7f and 1m. Finished 7l behind Sargent Kobe when fourth of 6 at 9-4 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Not out of it. |
2nd (4) Entrust | | | | | 4 | Raul Mena | Michael Gorham | Successful twice at 1m. Won on his latest outing when 2-1fav at Laurel Park over 1m earlier this month, beating Whatahardmanfidead. One to be interested in. |
4th (2) Battle Of Bastogne | | | | | 5 | Johan Rosado | Carlos Mancilla | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished behind Swifty Devil when sixth of 7 at 11-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Needs to put that effort behind him. |
(5) Wonder Water | | | | | 5 | Christian Maldonado | Richard Sillaman | Successful at 7f and 1m. Finished behind Trash Talkin Larry when sixth of 8 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m earlier this month. Unlikely to be good enough. |
(6) Boca Guy | | | | | 6 | J G Torrealba | Diane Morici | Successful twice at 1m. Third of 7 behind Gambling Tzar beaten 4l at 5-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Could make his presence felt. |
(7) Only Child | | | | | 5 | Carol Cedeno | Joanne Shankle | Successful at 1m and 1m 1f. Third of 8 behind Trash Talkin Larry beaten at 4-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m earlier this month. Would be foolish to dismiss. |
(9) Marcus Junius | | | | | 5 | Grant Whitacre | Corby Caiazzo | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten 1 3/4l by Scotch No Rocks when second of 7 at 9-10fav on his latest outing at Charles Town over 1m last month. Consistent enough to play a hand. |
ENTRUST was victorious by two lengths over an extended mile here earlier in the month and he can follow up. Boca Guy and Only Child could also get involved.
Race 145: 18:25 Tampa Bay Downs Race 3 - Maiden Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
4th (1) Hollywood Hero | | | | | 4 | David Delgado | Monica McGoey | Yet to place in 11 starts. Beaten 18l behind Sir Goosa at 80-1 when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. Another struggle looks likely. |
2nd (5) Fortinbras | | | | | 3 | Charlie Marquez | Darien Rodriguez | Placed once in three starts. Third of 8 behind My Great Illusion beaten 4 1/2l at 22-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. A leading contender if building on that. |
1st (6) Escape Key | | | | | 4 | Gabriel Maldonado | Ramon Aguayo | Unplaced in all five starts. Beaten 16l behind First Place G at 4-1 when 10th of 11 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month. He hasn't progressed as expected and is opposable. |
5th (7) Snovember | | | | | 4 | Jose Ferrer | Roy Lerman | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 4 1/2l behind Rough And Rowdy when fourth of 5 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Each-way claims. |
3rd (4) Two Minutes Apart | | | | | 4 | Samy Camacho | Kathleen Demasi | Placed in five of 11 starts. Beaten by Napoleon's War when second of 8 at 17-10fav on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. A similar bid should see him in the mix. |
(2) Highjump Charlie | | | | | 6 | Mariangelys Almedina | Robert Werneth | Placed in five of 26 starts. Beaten 16l behind Sir Goosa at 80-1 when seventh of 10 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. He stands little chance upped in class. |
(3) D Buckaroo | | | | | 3 | Mario Fuentes | Douglas Jones | Yet to place in six starts. Finished 15l behind Motskari when last of 6 at 30-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month. It's best to look elsewhere. |
(8) Iron Streets | | | | | 3 | Angel Arroyo | Abraham Gardea | Yet to place in seven starts. Beaten behind Festinate at 35-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. This stiffer distance needs to spark his interest. |
(9) Swift Dancer | | | | | 5 | Jose Batista | Carlos Munoz | Placed in seven of 25 starts. Finished behind Back To Reality when last of 6 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 5f last month. A place is his best shot of success. |
(10) Venezuelan Feeling | | | | | 3 | Alex Gonzalez | Reynaldo Yanez | Yet to place in four starts. Finished 18l behind My Great Illusion when sixth of 8 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. That heavy defeat leaves him plenty to find. |
(11) Blue Soldier | | | | | 4 | Gabriel Maldonado | Javier Gonzalez | Placed in four of 20 starts. Finished behind Paynted Blue when fifth of 7 at 25-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f in February. Reserve. |
TWO MINUTES APART bounced back to form when runner-up in a stronger contest here earlier this month and an overdue maiden victory could be on the cards. Fortinbras and Snovember also warrant a second look.
Race 146: 18:30 Exeter Henrys Bar Mount Pleasant Road Exeter Handicap Hurdle (0-100) (5) 4yo+ GB 2m 7f 25y - All Exeter Races
12th (2) Tough Approach | | | | | | 5 | David Noonan | David Pipe | Irish point second who was placed in a heavy ground bumper on debut and also in a Kempton novices' hurdle (2m5f, soft) in February; pulled up on handicap debut at Taunton later that month but player if a subsequent wind operation has a positive effect; also has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue-strap he's worn recently. |
11th (13) Captain Marco | | | | | | 5 | Sean Houlihan | Mitchell Hunt | Hasn't yet managed to get competitive in four attempts and probably needs a favour from the handicapper before doing so. |
9th (3) Ithaka | | | | | | 8 | Charlie Todd | Ryan Potter | Held up when a 2m5f hurdle winner (good to soft) last spring; poor form since then until taking a step back in the right direction at Taunton (3m, soft) latest; each-way player if he can back that up. |
(8) Sea Village | | | | | | 6 | David Bass | Oliver Signy | Placed three times at up to 3m1f over hurdles, all on slow ground; well treated on his form of a year ago but plenty to prove based on three starts since wind surgery. |
6th (9) Dear Ralphy | | | | | | 8 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Anthony Honeyball | 2m7f hurdle winner (soft) at Chepstow in November off 7lb lower; matched that effort in defeat at Lingfield next time; that form would see him involved but there's a bit to prove after falling in a chase and running no sort of race back over hurdles last time. |
13th (1) Rebel Intentions | | | | | | 7 | Joe Anderson | Emma Lavelle | Dual hurdle winner at up to 2m5f, including on soft; 2lb lower than when beaten under 2l into third at Ascot (3m, good) last November; below par since then but could be revived down in grade. |
8th (10) The Midwife | | | | | | 6 | Jordan Nailor | Grace Harris | Sprang a 25-1 surprise at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) in February, when 5lb lower but the handicapper appears to have had her measure since. |
5th (5) Defi Nonantais | | | | | | 5 | Jonathan Burke | Joe Tizzard | Has shown glimpses of promise in both novice and handicap company and stepped up slightly on his return from wind surgery when fifth at Plumpton (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces) latest; drops 2lb and likely to need more improvement to defy this mark. |
3rd (6) Awesome Foursome | | | | | | 7 | Mr Toby McCain-Mitchell | Nigel Twiston-Davies | 2m4f hurdle winner (heavy); thereabouts in three of his last four starts, although beaten 19l at Haydock (3m, soft) latest; drops 1lb and should be competitive. |
1st (12) Kick Up A Storm | | | | | | 6 | Lorcan Williams | Paul Nicholls | Showed a bit of promise when third at Worcester (2m7f, good to soft) on his hurdle debut last October; well below that level since (both 2m3f); returns from a break for handicap debut from a top yard in good form; cheekpieces now added; interesting from a workable mark. |
4th (4) Just In A Bit | | | | | | 6 | Charlie Deutsch | Mel Rowley | Showed some ability when third in a Leicester novice hurdle (2m4f, heavy) in January; had wind surgery after being well beaten on handicap debut next time; weakened to be 21l third at Wetherby (3m, soft) since then; still early days but does have a bit to prove. |
7th (15) My Girl Katie | | | | | | 7 | Harry Reed | Grace Harris | Debut Irish point winner who has shown ability over hurdles without winning; took a step back in the right direction latest but others push stronger claims. |
10th (11) Moonlight Artist | | | | | | 6 | Freddie Gingell | Joe Tizzard | Raced prominently when a C&D winner (good to soft) off 3lb lower in November; respectable effort to be third at Aintree (3m, heavy) next time; below that level twice since, including when second at Wincanton latest; interesting back here with claimer assigned. |
2nd (14) Cooleenymore | | | | | | 8 | Harry Kimber | Robert Walford | Got off the mark at the tenth attempt here (3m, heavy) when a wide-margin winner in a mares' chase latest; well treated if transferring that ability back to this sphere but that is far from certain. |
Tough Approach remains of interest down in grade and with cheekpieces now tried, while Moonlight Artist (second choice) has Freddie Gingell on board for the first time since their C&D win in November and could go close. However, the suggestion is KICK UP A STORM with the return to a greater stamina test likely to suit on handicap debut.[Jonathan Doidge]
Race 147: 18:32 Keeneland Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight - All Keeneland Races
1st (5) Monsieur Candy | | | | | 3 | Corey Lanerie | Alice Cohn | Placed twice in three starts. Beaten by Springtown when second of 11 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (firm) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Howard Alonzo. Could be in the mix. |
3rd (8) Bolt Action | | | | | 4 | Jaime Torres | Albert Stall | Placed once in two starts. Beaten 3/4l by One True Gentleman when second of nine at 5-1 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (firm) last month. The one to be with. |
4th (11) Cowboy Cache | | | | | 3 | Flavien Prat | Richard Dutrow, Jr | Full brother to Full Flat, won at 6f and 1m. Finished 9l behind J D Factor when fifth of seven at 11-2 on his racecourse debut at Aqueduct over 7f last month. Opposable. |
2nd (9) Beer Run | | | | | 4 | John Velazquez | Wesley Ward | Placed twice in four starts. Finished 4 1/2l behind Straight And Level when fifth of 12 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Kentucky Downs over 6f (good) in September last year. Holds every chance. |
(1) Royal Carol | | | | | 4 | Joel Rosario | Paulo Lobo | Half-brother to Sistina Chapel, won at 1m. A tough task set on debut. |
(2) King Hazelton | | | | | 3 | Jorge Ruiz | Kenneth Spraggins | Half-brother to Factor This In, won 16 times between 5f and 1m. May need the experience. |
(3) Baltimore Heart | | | | | 3 | Mitchell Murrill | Brian Williamson | Yet to place in four starts. Finished 7l behind Caper's Hooley when sixth of nine at 22-1 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. Has it all to do. |
(4) Too Fracing Lucky | | | | | 3 | Charle Oliveros | Eric Reed | Full brother to Fracing Lucky, won at 6f. Others make more appeal. |
(6) Goldentown | | | | | 3 | James Graham | Grant Forster | Placed once in three starts. Third of nine behind One True Gentleman beaten 2l at 5-1 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (firm) last month. Likely to enter the reckoning. |
(7) Maintain | | | | | 3 | Abel Cedillo | Jason McCutchen | Yet to place in three starts. Beaten 18l behind Agoo at 55-1 when last of 11 on his latest outing at Keeneland over 6f in October last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Robert McCutchen. Hard to make a case for him. |
(10) Don Corleone | | | | | 4 | Tyler Gaffalione | Peter Miller | Placed once in six starts. Third of nine behind Miracle Worker beaten 1 1/4l at 17-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f in February. Has each-way claims. |
(12) Steel Link | | | | | 3 | Colby Hernandez | Ethan West | Yet to place in three starts. Beaten 7l behind Frosty Indulgence at 35-1 when eighth of 12 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Unlikely to figure. |
(13) Pearl Of Aclaim | | | | | 3 | Brian Jr Hernandez | Kenneth McPeek | Placed once in three starts. Beaten behind Bolt From Above at 13-2 when seventh of 12 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m 1f last month. Reserve. |
(14) Glacial Power | | | | | 3 | Axel Concepcion | Jose Camejo | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 2 3/4l behind Higgins Boat at 18-1 when seventh of 10 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f last month. Reserve. |
(15) Plunder | | | | | 3 | Walter Rodriguez | Justin Wojczynski | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Reserve. |
(16) Side Eye | | | | | 4 | Joel Rosario | Michael Maker | Placed twice in five starts. Third of seven behind No No Joe beaten 3 1/2l at 17-4 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Reserve. |
BOLT ACTION had Goldentown (third) behind when runner-up here last time out and he is taken to go one better now. Beer Run and Don Corleone cannot be ruled out either.

2nd (6) Lotta Bourbon | | | | | 3 | E Raffin | S Guarato | Showed improvement when runner-up to LIZA JOSSELYN (8) in Gr.3 Prix de Chatillon over 2700m here late last month. Has yet to disappoint for Eric Raffin and looks a major player |
4th (2) Lush Life | | | | | 0 | D Thomain | P H Allaire | Tough winner of a Class B over course and distance 3 weeks ago, maintaining her perfect status. Climbs the category ladder but is eminently up to the task and has a realistic chance of getting her nose in front |
1st (8) Liza Josselyn | | | | | 3 | J M Bazire | J M Bazire | Winner of 4 from 5 to date, latterly Gr.3 Prix de Chatillon over 2700m here, with ease, on 23 March. JMB back in the sulky and can continue her victorious ways |
(1) Love Letter | | | | | 3 | J Dubois | J Dubois | Useful filly making first appearance since finishing an unlucky 5th of 11 behind LIZA JOSSELYN (8) in a 2700m Class A here late-February. Shoes on though and best to hold off |
(3) Luna Nova Gwen | | | | | 3 | Y Lebourgeois | P H Allaire | Sanctioned in Prix de Chatillon on return from her winter break. Will have come on for the run, sports hind pads this time, but others still easier to back |
(5) Layla | | | | | 3 | Leo Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | Quickly sanctioned in Gr.3 Prix de Chatillon over 2700m here on 23 March. Has merit though and can hold her own if Leo Abrivard assures her initial strides |
(7) Little Star Fleury | | | | | 3 | A Collette | H Le Bec | 2nd, at 135/1, in Gr.2 Prix Roquepine before being sanctioned when beaten in Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson over 2700m here on 18 February. Will be more at home here and, with application, will not be far off the mark |
(9) Lopigna | | | | | 3 | G Gelormini | F Prat | Fine servant making her first appearance since faulting in Gr.2 Prix Roquepine in late-January. Front pads fitted for comeback, another leading driver reining, and over this shorter trip, will be no soft touch |
LIZA JOSSELYN (8) has done nothing but progress since her first successful steps on the track, latterly won the Prix de Chatillon with authority, has never been beaten with JMB reining, and will be expected to return home with another notch on her belt. LOTTA BOURBON (6) finished a good 2nd to her that day and should again put on another good show, but may first have to see off the unbeaten LUSH LIFE (2) who won over track and trip on re-entry. LOPIGNA (9) has been held back for this and, with G
Race 149: 18:35 Oaklawn Park Race 1 - Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
4th (1) Collected Glory | | | | | 4 | Rocco Bowen | William Martin | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten 11l behind Theresasilverlinin at 30-1 when seventh of 10 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Likely to struggle. |
2nd (4) Ribbonsinherhair | | | | | 4 | Rafael Bejarano | McLean Robertson | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 5l behind Pillbox when fifth of 11 at 20-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f in January. Faces a stiff assignment. |
3rd (7) Insightful Miss | | | | | 4 | Joseph Bealmear | Thomas Vance | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten by Twirling Tigress when second of seven at 6-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Holds every chance. |
1st (5) Greek Heiress | | | | | 4 | Nik Juarez | Lindsay Schultz | Successful at 5f and 6f. A winner at 14-5 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Toffee by 1l. Can follow up. |
(2) Floating | | | | | 4 | Carlos Barbosa | Doug Anderson | Successful at 5f and 6f. A winner at 4-1 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on her latest outing earlier this month, beating Molly Of Stratford. One to be interested in. |
(3) Lucksme | | | | | 4 | Francisco Arrieta | Scott Becker | Successful twice at 6f. Finished behind Twirling Tigress when sixth of seven at 9-5 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time, which will need to have an effect. |
(6) Tortuga Island | | | | | 3 | Luis Fuentes | Scott Becker | Successful twice at 5f. Finished behind Hush It Honey when fifth of 11 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f in December last year. Makes limited appeal. |
(8) Espiridion | | | | | 4 | Alberto Pusac | Lynn Chleborad | Successful at 4f and 5f. A winner at 11-5 at Prairie Meadows over 5f on her latest outing in September last year, beating Hard Spirits by 1l. Another good run can be expected. |
GREEK HEIRESS did it well when scoring comfortably over C&D last time out, and she can follow up at the main expense of Floating and Insightful Miss.
Race 150: 18:37 Ballinrobe BoyleSports Mares' Handicap Hurdle IRE 2m 6f 91y - All Ballinrobe Races
(5) Rebel Early | | | | | | 10 | Danny Gilligan | W J Burke | Hasn't won in well over two years but only narrowly beaten in 2m4f Cork handicap in January; plenty to find on two moderate runs since. |
4th (3) Ginnets Girl | | | | | | 6 | Jordan Gainford | Gordon Elliott | Tailed off here in September and testing conditions wouldn't have suited last time; back from winter break but unlikely to have her ground here. |
2nd (6) Flidais | | | | | | 6 | Philip Donovan | John Patrick Ryan | Wide-margin Kilbeggan maiden winner last summer but hasn't run anywhere near that level since, jumping poorly before pulled up behind a stablemate at Limerick last time on unsuitably heavy; others make more appeal. |
1st (7) Game And Glory | | | | | | 8 | Simon Torrens | P J Rothwell | Tramore win her sole success from 22 attempts hurdling; recent runs disappointing so clearly needs to bounce back and ground probably not ideal. |
3rd (4) All About Lucy | | | | | | 7 | Keith Donoghue | Eoin Christopher McCarthy | Point-to-point winner off the mark under rules in 2m3f Cork maiden a year ago but well held both starts afterwards at Punchestown, weakening on testing ground second occasion; could have more to offer back on suitable ground but may not get it here on return from a 16-month absence. |
(2) Natural Look | | | | | | 8 | Mr J M Fennell | Declan Queally | Consistent mare over hurdles and fences; deserved success in a 2m6f handicap chase at Galway in October and ran well in decent Navan handicap hurdle but jumped poorly when pulled up in valuable Leopardstown handicap; questions to answer after latest. |
(1) Notkeepinyagoing | | | | | | 7 | Ben Harvey | John C McConnell | Bumper winner on debut at Galway in 2022; lightly raced since, some good runs in defeat in maiden hurdles before running away with ordinary 2m4f Leopardstown mares' maiden last month when dictating pace on soft-to-heavy; sharp 2m6f here should suit but stiffest task yet on handicap debut. |
Not that competitive for the prize money with several reappearing and wanting better ground. Top-weight NOTKEEPINYAGOING may not have beaten that much in her maiden but could take some catching around here on handicap debut with ground conditions to suit. [Alan Hewison]
Race 151: 18:42 Gulfstream Race 2 - Maiden Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
3rd (11) Mrs. Cash Man | | | | | 4 | Jon Rivera | Leon Minott | Yet to place in 11 starts. Finished 6l behind Acquired Taste when fourth of 8 at 55-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Might have to settle for a supporting role. |
4th (4) Khozanka | | | | | 3 | Ivan Jr Pimentel | Jose Garoffalo | Yet to place in six starts. Finished behind In Our Time when sixth of 8 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f last month. Opposable. |
5th (7) My Sarasota Queen | | | | | 3 | Sonny Leon | J Braddy | Placed once in six starts. Finished behind In Our Time when fifth of 8 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f last month. A place is feasible. |
2nd (2) Queen Honesty | | | | | 3 | Edgard Zayas | Antonio Sano | Placed once in six starts. Third of 7 behind Mywifeknowsitall beaten 4 1/2l at 11-10fav on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f in February. Likely to be thereabouts. |
1st (10) Taking It All | | | | | 3 | Luca Panici | Garry Lee | Placed in three of seven starts. Third of 9 behind Condora beaten at 16-10fav on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. A key player. |
(1) Shiloh | | | | | 4 | Rey Martinez | Eniel Cordero | Placed once in seven starts. Beaten 19l behind Calming Sea at 33-1 when eighth of 10 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in November last year. Needs to find some improvement. |
(3) Doctor Daisy | | | | | 3 | Emisael Jaramillo | Edward Plesa, Jr | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Best just watched on debut. |
(5) Bullet On Target | | | | | 3 | Marcos Meneses | Leon McKanas | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten behind In Our Time at 16-1 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f last month. Needs another step forward. |
(6) Hard Spice | | | | | 3 | Miguel Vasquez | Frank Santillana | Yet to place in six starts. Beaten 14l behind Roadrunner The Cat at 66-1 when 10th of 12 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Difficult to recommend. |
(8) Itriedsellingher | | | | | 4 | Anthony Thomas | Kathleen O'Connell | Unplaced in all ten starts. Finished behind Battling Bubbles when fifth of 7 at 25-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Others look stronger options. |
(9) Secret Samaritan | | | | | 4 | Eduardo Pinto | Nicholas Palmer | Yet to place in three starts. Well beaten at 40-1 behind Dazzling Move when last of 6 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Takes a significant drop in class and has to enter calculations. |
(12) Nipsey | | | | | 3 | Jonathan Ocasio | Javier Negrete | Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 9-1 behind A Palace For Mom when last of 5 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in January. Hard to fancy. |
The consistent TAKING IT ALL has a solid profile and is presented with a good opportunity to deservedly get off the mark. Queen Honesty is an old rival of the selection and has to be feared, but Secret Samaritan takes a big drop in class and may be more of a threat at this level.
Race 152: 18:45 Bath Havana Grey Standing At Whitsbury Manor Handicap (0-60) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m 6f - All Bath Races
7th (1) Head Of State | | | | | | 4 | Charlie Bennett | Brett Johnson | Promise for Joseph O'Brien on good turf last summer; well beaten in two Kempton handicaps for new yard; dropped 10lb as a result and new trip/headgear could spark improvement; risky but worth a market check. |
9th (9) Highland Flyer | | | | | | 4 | Rob Hornby | Jonathan Portman | 0-10 but he ended 2023 with two placed efforts at this track (11.6f/1m5f); could prove vulnerable to stronger stayers back from 200 days off. |
8th (5) Villazon | | | | | | 4 | Dougie Costello | Deborah Faulkner | Hasn't looked ahead of his mark in two handicap runs at Wolverhampton; return to turf might help and he's dropped 8lb so not ruled out with cheekpieces given a go. |
4th (2) Virtual Hug | | | | | | 6 | Paddy Bradley | Nikki Evans | In good form on AW for this yard winning three Wolverhampton handicaps, the latest a ready win over 1m4f 17 days ago (stays this far); should prove equally effective back on turf and he's not ruled out in current form. |
5th (4) Black Smoke | | | | | | 7 | Billy Loughnane | Mark Loughnane | Off the mark for this yard when coming from off the pace to beat Virtual Hug at Wolverhampton last month (1m6f); not quite so good when third back there two weeks ago; ran well on his only visit here; each-way shout. |
2nd (7) Calshot Spit | | | | | | 4 | Silvestre De Sousa | Jack Channon | Unplaced in all nine starts but he's consistent and continues to edge down the weights; should run his race but might find one or two too strong again. |
3rd (8) Kingston Sunflower | | | | | | 7 | George Rooke | Ralph J Smith | Front-running second at Wolverhampton (2m) in December; third at the same track 17 days ago; should run her race but she's now 0-15 on the Flat and others are preferred for win purposes. |
10th (3) Imperial Cult | | | | | | 5 | Rhys Clutterbuck | Rachel Cook & John Bridger | 12-race maiden but he's shown enough to think he could win a similar event; should be sharper with last month's reappearance behind him; one to consider. |
6th (6) Tigerten | | | | | | 7 | Ben Sanderson | Kevin Frost | 9lb lower than when winning at Salisbury last May (1m6f, good to soft); mixed bag for current yard and he'll need to leave his Southwell run in February well behind him; that's possible though. |
1st (10) Mini Mildred | | | | | | 5 | Cieren Fallon | Neil Mulholland | Off the mark at the tenth attempt when narrowly landing a 1m6f handicap at Southwell in December; has run well here on good to soft in the past; contender. |
The return to turf shouldn't be an issue for VIRTUAL HUG and he can continue his good run of form this year. Black Smoke (second choice) and Mini Mildred head the list of dangers, although improved showings from Head Of State and Tigerten wouldn't be complete bolts from the blue.[Paul Smith]
Race 153: 18:50 Limerick Hugh McMahon Memorial Novice Chase (Grade 3) IRE 3m 120y - All Limerick Races
4th (5) Tullyhogue Fort | | | | | | 8 | Mr P J O'Neill | John F O'Neill | Ordinary handicapper has loads to find on ratings here and ground against him too. |
(3) Gaelic Arc | | | | | | 8 | Danny Mullins | John Patrick Ryan | Dual hurdles winner at 2m was off the track since well held in Grade 2 Punchestown novice chase in late 2022 then second to an easy runaway winner in 4-finisher Naas novice; cracking comeback run after 15 months absence when second in 2m4f Clonmel conditions chase yesterday but tougher test here upped in trip. |
2nd (2) Donacheady Gale | | | | | | 10 | Sean O'Keeffe | John Patrick Ryan | A horse with ability but fragile too as he has missed loads of time since winning a bumper in 2019; came back after another absence with two solid runs over fences last month but this represents a step up. |
3rd (6) Bella Bliss | | | | | | 7 | Darragh O'Keeffe | John C McConnell | Productive mare with three hurdle wins and two over fences at up to 3m, including here last summer; ground against her of late and again unlikely to get her ground here but could sneak a placing. |
(4) Joyeux Machin | | | | | | 7 | Sean Flanagan | Paul Nolan | Talented 7yo won over fences at Wexford in the autumn and narrowly beaten by a smart sort at same venue afterwards; lost in Navan match since and no sort of run back hurdling latest; big player on best form but needs to bounce back. |
1st (1) Favori De Champdou | | | | | | 9 | Jack Kennedy | Gordon Elliott | Grade 2 hurdle winner last season and achieved a higher chase rating after running away with 3m Grade 2 Punchestown novice in November; hasn't fulfilled that promise however since, most recently well held when a faller two out in Irish National; drops in grade here with major claims despite conceding weight. |
Seemingly a match, with recent National faller FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU narrowly preferred to Joyeux Machin, both with questions of sorts to answer but well ahead of the rest, next best being Bella Bliss and yesterday's Clonmel second Gaelic Arc. [Alan Hewison]
Race 154: 18:51 Aqueduct Race 2 - Claiming - All Aqueduct Races
3rd (2) Jackie The Joker | | | | | 5 | Lane Luzzi | James Ferraro | Winner of five races from 4f to 1m. Finished 13l behind Mystic Seaport when fifth of 10 at 20-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f last month. Others appeal more. |
1st (5) Remain Anonymous | | | | | 7 | Eliseo Ruiz | Michelle Nevin | Winner of six races from 5f to 6f. Finished behind Shesalittle Edgy when fifth of 8 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Capable if on a going day and cannot be overlooked. |
2nd (1) Gone And Forgotten | | | | | 6 | Manuel Franco | Mertkan Kantarmaci | Has won 11 races from 6f to 1m. Finished 6l behind Midtown Lights when fifth of 8 at 6-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Maker. Represents an in-form stable and cannot be discounted. |
4th (4) Shesalittle Edgy | | | | | 7 | Kendrick Carmouche | Rob Atras | Has won nine races from 6f to 7f. A winner at 19-10 at Aqueduct over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Icy Reply. Warrants respect in search of a hat-trick. |
(7) Bank On Anna | | | | | 5 | Jose Lezcano | Mertkan Kantarmaci | She has won four times at 6f. Finished behind Jackson's Dixie when fourth of 5 at 7-4 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Philip Serpe. Commands respect. |
(3) Mursal | | | | | 4 | Luis Rivera Jr | Michelle Giangiulio | She has won four times from 6f to 1m. Third of 5 behind Shesalittle Edgy beaten 4 1/2l at 16-10fav on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in February. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Richard Dutrow Jr. Needs more. |
(6) Dolce Sera | | | | | 5 | Jose Gomez | Edward Delauro | A winner at 7f. Finished 7l behind Irish Jackson when fourth of 7 at 22-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f earlier this month. The suspicion is she has more of a place chance than a winning one. |
BANK ON ANNA represents a trainer very much on the hot list, and the daughter of Central Banker can continue that good run of form on the back of an admirable fourth in a higher grade last month. Shesalittle Edgy and Mursal also command respect.
Race 155: 18:54 Laurel Park Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Laurel Park Races
4th (4) Little Skippy | | | | | 4 | Mychel Sanchez | Andres Garibay | A winner at 5-1 at Laurel Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Car Ride. Warrants plenty of respect. |
1st (2) Chief Ron | | | | | 6 | J G Torrealba | Kieron Magee | Winner of six races from 5f to 7f. Third of 5 behind Take Charge Too beaten 3l at 13-5 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Kenneth Cox. Place claims. |
3rd (6) Kadri | | | | | 7 | Jaime Rodriguez | Jamie Ness | Has won 11 races from 5f to 6f. A winner at 33-10 at Laurel Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating No Easy Days. It would be no surprise to see him feature. |
2nd (7) No Easy Days | | | | | 4 | Jevian Toledo | Daniel McKenzie | Winner of five races from 6f to 1m. Beaten by Kadri when second of 10 at 7-10fav on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Foolish to overlook. |
(1) Privet Moon | | | | | 6 | Victor Carrasco | Diane Morici | He has won three times from 6f to 7f, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 7l behind Take Charge Too when fourth of 5 at 12-5jt-fav on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Worth a second look. |
(3) By Its Absence | | | | | 4 | Jorge Hernandez | Mario Serey, Jr | He has won four times from 5f to 7f. Finished 3 1/2l behind Strugar when fourth of 7 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f earlier this month. Easier to side with others. |
(5) Powerfully Built | | | | | 8 | Andrew Wolfsont | Jack Abrams | Has won ten races from 5f to 6f. A winner at 4-1 at Penn National over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Eagles Cry by a neck. Hard to rule out. |
KADRI was driven clear to score by just under four lengths over track and trip last month and he could be the one to beat again. Powerfully Built and Little Skippy are others to watch out for.
Race 156: 18:56 Tampa Bay Downs Race 4 - Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
5th (3) Wild Looker | | | | | 8 | Huber Villa Gomez | Nestor Cascallares | Winner of seven races from 5f to 6f. Beaten a neck by Every Little Bit when second of 8 at 35-1 on her latest outing at Presque Isle Downs over 6f in October last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Carol Skawinski. Not without a chance. |
4th (8) Nurse Judy | | | | | 6 | Alex Gonzalez | James Tsirigotis | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f. Beaten behind Delightful Breeze at 4-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 5f (good) in January. Faces a tough assignment. |
1st (6) East Wing | | | | | 6 | Jesus Suarez | Nestor Marrero | She has won three times from 6f to 7f, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten behind Band Sweetheart at 16-1 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Likely to struggle. |
2nd (5) Murumbi | | | | | 5 | Jose Batista | Juan Arriagada | She has won three times from 6f to 1m. Finished behind Dancingwthdaffodls when sixth of 9 at 17-5 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Gerald Bennett. Needs to step forward. |
3rd (1) High School Crush | | | | | 7 | Angel Arroyo | John Rigattieri | Successful twice at 6f, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 1l by Happy Ride when second of 10 at 18-5 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f earlier this month. Capable of going close. |
(2) Kenya Sun | | | | | 6 | Ronald Allen Jr | James Tsirigotis | She has won three times from 6f to 7f. Beaten behind Band Sweetheart at 22-1 when last of 8 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Appears to be up against it. |
(4) So Moxie | | | | | 7 | Pablo Morales | Nestor Cascallares | She has won four times from 5f to 6f. Beaten 1/2l by Lucky Day Diva when second of 7 at 14-5 on her latest outing at Presque Isle Downs over 5f in September last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Carol Skawinski. Merits consideration. |
(7) Fast Corey | | | | | 5 | Melissa Iorio | Juan Avila | Successful at 5f and 6f. Beaten behind Whatchamacall at 30-1 when 11th of 13 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 5f last month. Difficult to fancy. |
(9) Auburn | | | | | 7 | Laureano Sosa | Brian Lusk | She has won three times at 7f, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 15l behind One Night Stand when last of 6 at 28-1 on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f in September last year. Likely to struggle. |
(10) Twirling Grace | | | | | 6 | Manny Jimenez | Antonio Cordero | She has won three times from 7f to 1m. Beaten 11l behind Woods Hole at 18-1 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m in February. Others have her measure. |
HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH has been knocking on the door recently and the seven-year-old is more than capable of getting her head back in front. So Moxie and Wild Looker are feared most.
Race 157: 19:00 Exeter Heavitree Brewery Novices' Handicap Chase (0-100) (5) 5yo+ GB 2m 1f 109y - All Exeter Races
(14) Mawlood | | | | | | 8 | Mr Huw Edwards | Georgie Howell | Dual 2m1f hurdle winner on a sound surface but hard to make a case for him on any recent chase form. |
(12) Mr Sociable | | | | | | 9 | Philip Armson | Chris Down | Has shown precious little since being third in a Newton Abbot maiden hurdle (2m2f, good) three years ago; pulled up on chase debut. |
(7) He'llstopatthetop | | | | | | 7 | Harry Kimber | Keiran Burke | Irish point runner up who is hard to make a strong case for based on his form under rules so far. |
(2) Play By The Rules | | | | | | 5 | David Noonan | Nigel Hawke | 2m3f hurdle winner (good to soft); has been well below par in three starts since wind surgery in that discipline; looks best watched on chase debut. |
(8) Lustleigh | | | | | | 7 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Polly Gundry | Not devoid of ability in three starts for Dan Skelton; cause for optimism from his second chase start, when second at Ludlow (2m, soft) in February; below that level at Taunton (2m, soft) since but if you can forgive that he could be competitive now 2lb lower. |
(11) Pencil | | | | | | 7 | Harry Reed | Nicky Martin | Could be given claims based on his third at Bangor (2m1f, soft) last October but he has plenty to prove on what he's shown since. |
(13) Etincelle Artiste | | | | | | 7 | Bryony Frost | Fiona Shaw | Second in an Irish point; moderate form over fences and pulled up at Taunton (2m2f, good) latest; not easy to fancy from 3lb out of weights. |
(10) Poet's Reflection | | | | | | 9 | Micheal Nolan | Linda Blackford | 2m3f hurdle winner (good); best two chase efforts came last spring, including when placed over C&D (good); well treated on that form but not on anything she has shown since. |
2nd (1) Dunstall Rambler | | | | | | 6 | Jonathan Burke | Tom George | Best hurdling effort came on good ground last spring (1m7f, first-time hood) and he shaped well back on a sound surface on his 2m Huntingdon chase debut last month, upsides under hand riding when falling at the last; capable of winning a handicap chase off a mark in the 90s on that evidence. |
3rd (5) Hooky Street | | | | | | 8 | Ben Poste | Harriet Dickin | Placed in a soft ground bumper; showed some ability over hurdles without going close to winning; weakened out of it on his recent chase debut at Hereford (2m, soft); blinkers go on. |
(4) Man Of Light | | | | | | 7 | Sean Houlihan | Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | 2m hurdle winner (soft); if transferring his ability from that sphere to this, he looks well treated; could have been forgiven for needing his hurdles outing in January after a long layoff but needs confidence restoring after a heavy fall on his chase debut. |
(9) Grand Escaparde | | | | | | 6 | David Bass | Kim Bailey | Hasn't shown much in a bumper and three hurdles at up to 2m5f; cheekpieces now added to tongue-tie for chase debut; in good hands and on a workable mark but need to see more from him. |
4th (3) Samtara | | | | | | 10 | Harry Atkins | Martin Keighley | 2m3f hurdle winner (good to soft) last spring; well-held fourth here latest but could give him a chance based on his Hereford fourth prior to that; not ruled out in first-time cheekpieces. |
1st (6) Hidalgo Des Bordes | | | | | | 7 | James Bowen | Warren Greatrex | Improved on his hurdle debut effort when seventh at Taunton (2m3f, good) in February, before making the frame at Plumpton (2m, soft) later that month; open to improvement now going chasing and looks interesting from a workable mark; tongue-tie goes on. |
Not many enter this with obvious claims but one who does is DUNSTALL RAMBLER (nap), who was challenging for the lead when coming down at the last on his recent chased debut and is taken to gain compensation. This trip on a stiff track might elicit some improvement from chase newcomer Hidalgo Des Bordes, who could emerge next best. Samtara, who represents a stable among the winners, is also not ruled out.[Jonathan Doidge]
Race 158: 19:04 Keeneland Race 3 - Claiming - All Keeneland Races
3rd (2) Atlantic Strike | | | | | 6 | Florent Geroux | Steven Asmussen | Winner of six races from 5f to 6f. Beaten 7l behind Driana at 9-1 when last of 12 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. More is required. |
4th (5) Stand By You | | | | | 6 | Flavien Prat | Wayne Catalano | She has won four times at 6f. Finished 15l behind Melodious Singer when last of five at 9-4 on her latest outing at Penn National over 6f in September last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Todd Beattie. Yet to convince. |
2nd (4) Abitibi | | | | | 5 | Luan Machado | Jesus Esquivel | She has won four times at 6f. Finished 1 1/4l behind Driana when fifth of 12 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Needs considering. |
1st (1) Wupkar | | | | | 5 | Brian Jr Hernandez | W Calhoun | She has won four times from 5f to 6f. Finished 7l behind Sweet Shild O Mine when fifth of nine at 18-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f last month. Can bounce back to winning ways. |
(3) Fairy Cakes | | | | | 6 | Albin Jimenez | Paul McEntee | She has won four times from 7f to 1m 2f. Well beaten at 7-2 behind Lady Noguez when last of seven on her latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 1m (good) in November last year. Has it all to do. |
(6) Hope Over Fear | | | | | 5 | Yoel Navas | Juan Cano | She has won four times at 1m. Third of eight behind Stacy Attack beaten 4l at 17-2 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Bit to prove here. |
(7) La Tourista | | | | | 6 | Reylu Gutierrez | Michael Pino | Winner of seven races from 6f to 1m. Third of 10 behind Lamasco beaten 4l at 11-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. Must enter calculations. |
WUPKAR has shown enough at a higher level in recent starts to suggest that she can regain the winning thread at a track which should suit. Her chief threats look to be Abitibi and La Tourista.
Race 159: 19:07 Ballinrobe Sherry Fitzgerald Mayo Handicap Hurdle IRE 2m 6f 91y - All Ballinrobe Races
(10) Father Jed | | | | | | 13 | Daniel King | John Patrick Ryan | Veteran with nine career wins, most recently over C&D last July off 85; always behind on last month's Down Royal comeback and although more expected of here seems unlikely to have his ground. |
(4) Monty's Way | | | | | | 6 | Keith Donoghue | George Stanley | Dual Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien but 0-8 over hurdles, pulled up the last twice in handicaps; cheekpieces now added to usual tongue tie but hard to fancy unless extended trip brings forth improvement. |
(6) Leis Fein | | | | | | 9 | Conor Stone-Walsh | V T O'Brien | Lightly raced 9yo tailed off on both recent comeback runs in Thurles maidens; hard to fancy on handicap debut. |
(11) Oldtown To Emly | | | | | | 6 | Jack G Gilligan | K A Heffernan | Underwhelming since going handicapping although penultimate Limerick run was a fair effort; cheekpieces now tried but others preferred. |
3rd (5) It's Time Again | | | | | | 8 | John Shinnick | David Richard Barry | Dual C&D winner on better ground in 2022; seen just twice last year in March when well below best and watching brief advised here on return on unsuitably testing ground. |
2nd (3) Miss Vivacious | | | | | | 6 | Mike O'Connor | Thomas Gibney | Respectable fourth in 2m Navan mares maiden last month then predictably outclassed in four-runner novice at same venue over this sort of trip; remains unexposed on handicap debut and respected source. |
(9) The Flying Donkey | | | | | | 6 | Carl Millar | James Daniel Dullea | Some respectable efforts in handicaps without looking a serious threat; drop back to 2m didn't suit on latest so more expected of here back at more suitable trip; tongue-tie tried too. |
1st (8) Captain Jimmy | | | | | | 11 | Philip Donovan | Patrick G Kelly | Better chaser, sole hurdles win coming at Punchestown early last year; below best back hurdling lately so has a bit to find though handicapper giving him a chance. |
(1) Desperado Genie | | | | | | 6 | Tom Harney | Cian Collins | Soundly beaten in maidens and cheekpieces did nothing for her the final time; goes handicapping with a lot to prove. |
4th (2) Lough Nigara | | | | | | 7 | Danny Gilligan | Matthew A Daly | Pleasing handicap debut when clear third in 2m7f Punchestown contest won by an improver and set plenty to do when staying-on third over same trip at Thurles last month; will need to be ridden handier around this sharper track but clearly on a competitive mark. |
(7) Beau's Candle | | | | | | 9 | Kevin Sexton | Declan Queally | Had good time in point-to-points this season (winning twice) and continued that form back on track when second to a clear-cut winner in 2m4f Punchestown handicap hurdle in February on heavy for this yard; longer trip should suit and definitely one to consider. |
Following good efforts in his first two handicaps, LOUGH NIGARA could now be ready to strike, although he'll have to be ridden a bit handier around this sharper track than at Thurles last time. Beau's Candle looks a big danger, while Miss Vivacious is one of the least exposed and a potential improver on handicap debut. [Alan Hewison]
Race 160: 19:10 Oaklawn Park Race 2 - Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
3rd (8) Tenacious Lady | | | | | 4 | Alexander Castillo | Kevin Martin | She has won three times at 6f. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Abby The Bull Dawg when last of 12 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. This looks beyond her. |
4th (7) Awesome View | | | | | 6 | Martin Chuan | Kenny Jansen | Has won nine races from 5f to 7f. Beaten 16l behind Diva Treva at 14-1 when last of nine on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Unlikely to trouble the principals. |
2nd (4) Docs Seven | | | | | 6 | Rafael Bejarano | Dan Ward | Winner of six races from 4f to 6f. Beaten 8l behind Abby The Bull Dawg at 13-2 when seventh of 12 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Needs to bounce back. |
1st (1) Naughty Lottie | | | | | 4 | Keith Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | She has won four times from 5f to 1m. Won on her latest outing when 9-4fav at Fair Grounds over 6f in February, beating Bali Dreamin by 8l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Eduardo Ramirez. Can land the hat-trick. |
(2) Catchusifyoucan | | | | | 5 | Luis Fuentes | Michael Hewitt | Winner of six races from 4f to 6f. Third of nine behind Austrian Navy beaten at 9-5 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Scott Becker. A key player. |
(3) She Dazzle | | | | | 6 | Ricardo Jr Santana | Steven Asmussen | Winner of six races from 5f to 7f. Beaten 10l behind Abby The Bull Dawg at 12-1 when ninth of 12 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
(5) Checkcashingconnie | | | | | 4 | Carlos Barbosa | McLean Robertson | She has won three times from 5f to 6f. Beaten 8l behind Diva Treva at 15-2 when seventh of nine on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Hard to fancy. |
(6) Varton | | | | | 6 | Rocco Bowen | Kim Puhl | Has won eight races from 5f to 6f. Finished 2 3/4l behind Dixie Penny when fourth of eight at 7-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Has to be of some interest. |
NAUGHTY LOTTIE has been in terrific form of late and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards for the four-year-old. Catchusifyoucan and Varton can give her the most to think about.
Race 161: 19:14 Gulfstream Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
5th (4) Avatal Hero | | | | | 4 | Sonny Leon | Guadalupe Preciado | She has won three times at 5f. Finished 5l behind Fortuna Belle when fourth of 7 at 12-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Likely to be on the premises. |
3rd (6) Chloe's Toy | | | | | 4 | Fernando Jara | Steve Budhoo | She has won three times at 5f. Won on her latest outing when 17-10fav at Gulfstream over 5f last month, beating Starship Nebula by 1/2l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Jose D Angelo. A reliable type who warrants serious thought. |
4th (7) Nikee Kan | | | | | 9 | Miguel Vasquez | Jose D Angelo | Winner of seven races at 5f. Finished 9l behind Admiral Hopper when last of 6 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. In the mix. |
2nd (3) Megan Makin Money | | | | | 4 | Jesus Rios | Ronald Coy | She has won four times from 5f to 6f. Won on her latest outing when 14-5fav at Gulfstream over 5f in February, beating Ala Turka by 2 3/4l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Julie Stormfelt. Another who arrives in flying form and cannot be ruled out. |
1st (1) Gayles Evening | | | | | 6 | Emisael Jaramillo | Jennifer Young | Has won nine races from 4f to 6f. A winner at 12-5 at Gulfstream over 5f on her latest outing last month, beating Barbara by 6l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Bobby Dibona. Holds a strong chance of completing a three-timer. |
(2) Heir To The Roar | | | | | 5 | Leonel Reyes | Ruben Sierra | She has won four times at 5f. Finished 18l behind Awesome Annmarie when last of 6 at 17-4 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f in February. One to bear in mind. |
(5) Greek Mojo | | | | | 4 | Jose Morelos | Eduardo Nunez | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 3 1/2l behind Imperiously when fourth of 5 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Hard to side with on this occasion. |
None of these can be ruled out on their peak efforts but this could be a good time to stick with the hat-trick seeking GAYLES EVENING, who has returned to form with a vengeance of late. Chloe's Toy is an obvious threat, while Avatal Hero is another must for the shortlist.
Race 162: 19:15 Vincennes Prix Neptuna - Attele - All Vincennes Races
2nd (3) Hermes Ludois | | | | | 7 | B Rochard | S Bourlier | Won a brace before coming 5th of 16, when shod, in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E on 1 April. Is reunited with Benjamin Rochard and, from the 3-spot, is unlikely to be far from the action |
4th (7) Holly D'Echal | | | | | 7 | E Raffin | E M Fournier | 9th of 12 when shod for comeback in a 2700m Machecoul Class E on 1 March. Has previously won over course and distance and, hind pads fitted with Eric Raffin reining, is sure to have her supporters |
3rd (1) Ilaya | | | | | 6 | Y Lebourgeois | C Raimbaud | Last of 10 when prepping for this in a 2800m Cholet Class E at the start of the month. Yoann Lebourgeois reining this time and victory is well within her capacity |
1st (6) Ister Man | | | | | 6 | J Cuoq | J Cuoq | Has been in decent shape lately, most recently coming 4th of 16 in a 2700m Class C here on 22 March and, barefoot again, should prove the main threat to ILAYA (1) |
(2) Hortino | | | | | 7 | F Lagadeuc | C H Mary | Won under these conditions earlier in the year but disappointing of late, most recently coming 9th of 13 in a 2700m Class D here a fortnight ago. Gets on well with Francois Lagadeuc though and will justifiably generate interest |
(4) Hyper Fast | | | | | 7 | A Barrier | C H Mary | Gave a reassuringly-good account when 3rd of 14 in a Class E under these conditions 3 weeks ago and, if still on the boil, can repeat |
(5) Isabella Ferm | | | | | 6 | D Thomain | F Souloy | Failed to confirm her course-and-distance victory when sanctioned in a 2700m Class B here early-February. Won for David Thomain that day and, hind shoes off, is capable of getting a look-in |
(8) Feux Verts | | | | | 9 | L Baudouin | D Brohier | Won 2 right-handed last month, latterly a 2600m Nancy Class F in good order, but takes on a better bunch this time and, even though barefoot, chances nevertheless appear slim |
(9) Felicita D'Ecouves | | | | | 9 | A Collette | J Vilault | 6th of 16 in a 2700m Class D at Le Croise-Laroche earlier this month. Handed a tough draw and others preferred |
(10) Gogo Des Malberaux | | | | | 8 | F Nivard | D Delaroche | Showed improvement when 4th of 9 finishers in a 2850m Class E here 2 weeks ago but seems to have a mountain to climb this time |
(11) Ivoire Prestance | | | | | 6 | G Gelormini | P Hillen | 9th of 16, behind ISTER MAN (6), in a 2700m Class C here on 22 March. Has shown little liking for Vincennes and can be passed over |
(12) Icone D'Avenir | | | | | 6 | M Abrivard | R Feelders | Good element that finished 5th, a place behind IS MAGIC HAUFOR (13), here late last month. Has twice won over course and distance and is not to be overlooked |
(13) Is Magic Haufor | | | | | 6 | D Bonne | C H Bigeon | 4th of 16 in a 2700m Class C at the venue on 23 March. Is plainly close to winning another and will have her chances if Damien Bonne successfully navigates the start |
One of the more faithful elements here, ILAYA (1) has had her freshener, races barefoot for the occasion, and the engagement of a leading driver may well make the difference when confronted with ISTER MAN (6) who has been in fine form lately. IS MAGIC HAUFOR (13) has been enjoying a fruitful streak since the start of the winter meeting and despite the 2nd-line draw looks a serious proposition. HYPER FAST (4) has been gifted the plum spot behind the car and, with form maintained, can complement h
Race 163: 19:15 Bath Dragon Symbol Standing At Whitsbury Manor Handicap (Div I) (0-65) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m - All Bath Races
(5) Jade Country | | | | | | 5 | George Rooke | John & Rhys Flint | Begins this season off a reduced mark but it was a tame end to 2023 and there are risks involved on his return to action. |
(12) Brown Mouse | | | | | | 5 | Callum Shepherd | Tom Ward | Two blank seasons in Jersey and this exposed maiden was well held in two runs for this yard in late 2023; plenty to prove. |
(9) Thewaytothestars | | | | | | 5 | Callum Hutchinson | Grace Harris | Two wins in Class 6 handicaps last August, the second of them off just 2lb lower; ended 2023 quietly though and back from a break perhaps not the time to catch her. |
(11) Olympic Quest | | | | | | 4 | Charles Bishop | Joe Ponting | Off the mark at the 12th attempt when winning a small-field event at Wolverhampton in January (8.6f); well beaten back there two weeks ago and now makes her turf debut. |
(8) Emorcee | | | | | | 4 | Adam Farragher | Robert Stephens | Ex-Irish maiden; failed to beat a rival in two AW runs for his new yard this winter; dangerous mark on his best form though and the return of headgear looks a good move. |
(7) Eye Of The Water | | | | | | 8 | Liam Keniry | Ronald Harris | Won twice over C&D last season and this mark is well within range; returns from 98 days off but he's not discounted. |
1st (13) Havana Goldrush | | | | | | 5 | Shariq Mohd | J S Moore | Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 9lb higher mark; came into that race on the back of a good AW run whereas this year he had a quiet AW campaign; others appeal more. |
(6) My Ambition | | | | | | 5 | Rob Hornby | Denis Coakley | Two C&D wins last summer on firm ground; effective on good ground but could do with it drying out further if he's to make a winning reappearance. |
2nd (10) Ravenglass | | | | | | 5 | Gina Mangan | Adrian Wintle | Modest strike-rate but he's run some good races on AW over the winter, including in a hood the last twice; returning to 1m won't be a problem; each-way shout. |
4th (3) Snapcracklepop | | | | | | 5 | Lewis Edmunds | William Muir & Chris Grassick | Now 6lb lower than for the second of his two wins; that was back in August 2022 but his blank season last year has resulted in him returning off a lowly mark; has gone well fresh; respected. |
(2) Raqraaq | | | | | | 6 | Billy Loughnane | Patrick Chamings | Overcame a wide draw when breaking his duck in a 1m handicap at Lingfield (AW) in November; still feasibly treated off this 4lb higher mark and the drying ground is in his favour. |
3rd (4) Johnjay | | | | | | 4 | Cieren Fallon | Roger Teal | Lightly raced 4yo; ready winner of a C&D handicap on soft ground on his reappearance one year ago; came up just short in Class 5 company afterwards and absent for 309 days but he still has potential and that doesn't apply to many in here; return to Class 6 company a fillip too. |
(1) Three Yorkshiremen | | | | | | 4 | Silvestre De Sousa | Michael Wigham | Took full advantage of the drop into Class 6 company when fairly bolting up over 1m2f at Chelmsford last week; well in under his 5lb penalty and shouldn't have any issue with either the ground or the drop in trip; the one to beat. |
Three Yorkshiremen had a Chelmsford handicap in safe keeping a long way out last week and he'll be hard to beat under a penalty despite the drop in trip. Most of his rivals are fully exposed but the exception is JOHNJAY, who won over C&D last April before holding his own in stronger races. He could progress again this year and looks a viable alternative. Snapcracklepop and Eye Of The Water look best of the rest, while the return of headgear for Emorcee could see him return to form.[Paul Smith]
Race 164: 19:20 Limerick Limerick Races On Facebook Handicap Chase IRE 2m 1f 100y - All Limerick Races
(8) Gendarme | | | | | | 9 | Shane O'Callaghan | Charles Coakley | Won twice over hurdles in 2021 for Cathal Byrnes; little of note since, no chasing experience; 3 lb out of the handicap. |
6th (4) Pont Audemer | | | | | | 5 | Sean Flanagan | Gavin Cromwell | Landed a gamble in a 2m handicap hurdle at this venue in late 2022; no success since; let down by his jumping at Cork on most recent of three starts in beginners' chases. |
5th (3) Marelly | | | | | | 7 | Darragh O'Keeffe | P J Rothwell | Two hurdle wins to his name; little impact in two beginners' chases; jockey said he never travelled and made a mistake in back straight when pulled up on handicap debut in Thurles won by Sunnyvilla; cheekpieces tried now |
4th (6) McGrath From Clune | | | | | | 8 | Phillip Enright | Robert Tyner | Won comfortably over fences at Thurles in November; next two runs were over hurdles; confirmed that he is more effective as a chaser with second at Thurles in February; should go close. |
1st (7) Another Ocana | | | | | | 7 | E Walsh | L J Archdeacon | Two wins in points; off the mark over hurdles in a 2m3f handicap at this track in December; next three runs were over fences, including a moderate third over C&D when chance harmed by the interference caused by a faller; has to rebound from below-par run over hurdles here last week. |
2nd (5) Know The Game | | | | | | 8 | Donagh Meyler | Tom Dreaper | Poor effort over hurdles at Roscommon on his final start last year; wore a tongue-tie on for the first time when a fair sixth in a novice handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse on his recent return; should be better for the run and is more effective as a chaser; worth considering. |
(1) Dundaniel | | | | | | 9 | Jack Kennedy | Michael G Kennedy | Dual point winner and hunter chase winner last season; quite consistent in handicap chases, though no improvement since Thurles second last November; disputing third when brought down to out at this venue last time. |
3rd (2) Sunnyvilla | | | | | | 9 | Gavin Brouder | Donal Hassett | Now a three-time winner over fences; possibly a little fortunate to get away with a 4lb rise for his front-running success at Thurles at the beginning of the month; 5lb claimer controlled the race effectively then. |
It may be worth taking a chance on KNOW THE GAME who should be sharper for a recent run over hurdles at Fairyhouse and is a more effective chaser. The obvious danger is Sunnyvilla, only 4lb higher than when making all at Thurles. McGrath From Clune also has sound credentials. [Alan Sweetman]
Race 165: 19:23 Aqueduct Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Aqueduct Races
5th (5) Retail Man | | | | | 3 | Eliseo Ruiz | James Ryerson | A winner at 6f. Finished 10l behind That's Money when sixth of nine at 60-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Opposable. |
2nd (1) Stormquist | | | | | 3 | Kendrick Carmouche | Linda Rice | A winner at 6f. Finished 16l behind Lonesome Boy when sixth of 10 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f in January. Tough ask. |
3rd (6) Heard On Thestreet | | | | | 3 | Isaac Castillo | David Jacobson | A winner at 11-2 at Aqueduct over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Mr. Georgie. This is more demanding. |
1st (7) Remember The Name | | | | | 3 | Jose Lezcano | Linda Rice | A winner at 6f. Finished 5l behind Iridescent when fourth of six at 19-5 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in January. A key player. |
4th (3) Dylan's Ruby | | | | | 3 | Frankie Pennington | John Servis | A winner at 6f. Beaten 6l by Buccherino when second of seven at 3-1 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. Respected. |
(2) Mad Banker | | | | | 3 | Trevor McCarthy | Wayne Potts | A winner at 6f. Finished behind Antonio Of Venice when fourth of five at 17-2 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
(4) In A Minute | | | | | 3 | Manuel Franco | James Ryerson | A winner at 7f. Beaten 1l by Collected Special when second of seven at 18-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Can go one better. |
IN A MINUTE has shown plenty of pace over further the last twice here and dropping back to 6f can see him go very close. Success may come at the expense of Dylan's Ruby and Remember The Name.
Race 166: 19:26 Laurel Park Race 5 - Allowance - All Laurel Park Races
3rd (1) St. John'S | | | | | 4 | Jeiron Barbosa | Jack Fisher | A winner at 1m on good ground. Finished 2 3/4l behind Go To The Kingdom when fourth of 10 at 9-5fav on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m (good) in November last year. Has some respectable form to his name and is not ruled out. |
4th (6) Night Out | | | | | 3 | Ben Curtis | Michael Stidham | Won on his latest outing when evens fav at Fair Grounds over 1m (good) last month, beating Special Dispatch by 1l. A solid option. |
5th (9) St James The Great | | | | | 3 | Horacio Karamanos | Keri Brion | Won on his latest outing when 9-4fav at Laurel Park over 1m 1f (good) in November last year, beating Modica. Open to further progress so must enter calculations. |
1st (10) Sports Editor | | | | | 5 | Jaime Rodriguez | Edward Allard | A winner at 1m 4f on good ground. Finished 5l behind Disputed Claim when fourth of 7 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Could be sharper than some and warrants a betting check. |
2nd (4) Fulmineo | | | | | 3 | Victor Carrasco | Arnaud Delacour | A winner at 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 1 3/4l by Full Nelson when second of 9 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. A key player. |
(5) Sharp Tones | | | | | 3 | Carol Cedeno | Lynn Ashby | A winner at 7f on soft ground. Well beaten at 11-2 behind Just Step On It when last of 7 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Kathleen DeMasi. One to note in the betting on his first run since being gelded. |
(7) General's Duty | | | | | 5 | Mychel Sanchez | Jane Cibelli | A winner at 1m 1f on good ground. Finished 1 3/4l behind Jerry's Turn when fourth of 7 at 17-5 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) in January. Will need a lot to go his way. |
(8) Breakwater | | | | | 5 | Forest Boyce | Claude McGaughey III | A winner at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 1l by Justintimeforwine when second of 12 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Shortlist material. |
(11) Sagrada Ray | | | | | 5 | J G Torrealba | Gary Capuano | He has won four times from 4f to 1m on good and soft ground and on the all-weather. Finished 19l behind Margin Of Air when fifth of 7 at 28-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Others are preferred. |
(12) Running River | | | | | 4 | Mychel Sanchez | Jamie Ness | He has won four times from 5f to 1m on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Union Fleet when fourth of 5 at 2-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. Main track only. |
(13) Mosler Time | | | | | 4 | Angel Rodriguez | Cathal Lynch | Successful at 6f and 1m on the all-weather. A winner at 14-1 at Laurel Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Margie's Fun Son by 1 1/4l. Worth a try at this level. |
(14) Eye Of Gunfighter | | | | | 7 | Yomar Ortiz | Lawrence Smith | He has won three times from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Well beaten at 70-1 behind Keen Lookin when last of 7 on his latest outing at Penn National over 1m in January. Reserve. |
(15) Home School | | | | | 4 | Jorge Hernandez | Mario Serey, Jr | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 1 3/4l by I'm The Money Man when second of 6 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 1m last month. Reserve. |
(2) Feral's Joy | | | | | 4 | Sheldon Russell | Jorge Duarte | A winner at 1m on good ground. Finished 6l behind Great King when fourth of 11 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Monmouth Park over 1m (good) in September last year. Had winning form here last summer and is not dismissed. |
(3) Mission Man | | | | | 4 | Jevian Toledo | Elizabeth Merryman | Successful at 7f and 1m on good and soft ground. Beaten 4l by Hardspun Reason when second of 9 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 1f (good) in October last year. Needs a revival on his return to action. |
FULMINEO, who was a close second in the Colombia Stakes here last month, looks the pivotal figure and could be hard to beat in this company. Night Out will find this tougher than the maiden special weight he landed last time, so the progressive Breakwater may give the selection most to think about.

5th (3) Chaotic Tempo | | | | | 5 | David Cardoso | William Grainger | A winner at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather, but that win was over two years ago. Beaten behind Frosty The Soldier at 22-1 when eighth of 13 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. One to avoid. |
4th (8) Lord Of The Nile | | | | | 7 | Ademar Santos | Arnoud Dobber | A winner at 1m. Beaten 11l behind Megacity at 80-1 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m 3f (good) last month. Likely to struggle. |
2nd (6) Praline's Cat | | | | | 4 | Jose Batista | Pedro Posadas | A winner at 1m 4f. Finished 10l behind Le Griffon when fourth of 10 at 9-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. More required. |
1st (1) Stormy Victory | | | | | 5 | Melissa Iorio | Rohan Crichton | A winner at 7f on good ground. Finished 10l behind Le Griffon when fifth of 10 at 11-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Appears to be up against it. |

Beaten 18l behind Kingfish Stevens at 30-1 when last of 10 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Mark Hennig. Faces a tough assignment. |

(7) Shortsinthewinter | | | | | 4 | Daniel Centeno | Kathleen O'Connell | A winner at 5f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 13l behind Camino De Santiago when sixth of 10 at 4-1fav on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. May bounce back at this level. |
TORO FORWARD brings a consistent level of form to the table and this appears to be an excellent opportunity for him to gain a second career victory. Shortsinthewinter and Praline's Cat both enter calculations too.
Race 168: 19:30 Exeter Heart Of Oak Pinhoe Exeter Open National Hunt Flat Race (Category 1 Elimination) (GBB Race) GB 2m 161y - All Exeter Races
(3) Henry Pick | | | | | | 5 | Lucy Gardner | Sue Gardner | 66-1 and always in rear on soft ground at Taunton last month. |
(10) Diamond Drill | | | | | | 4 | Lewis Stones | Tom Weston | 6,500 euros foal; fourth foal; dam placed 9.5f-10.5f in France, half-sister to 1m/1m2f Flat and useful 2m/2m1f jumps winner Idarah; likely up against it on debut against some of these. |
(12) Diamond Dusty | | | | | | 4 | Sean Houlihan | Linda Blackford | Seventh foal; half-sister to winners Itsonlyrocknroll (bumper/2m hurdle), Stones And Roses (2m5f/3m1f chase) and Golazo (bumper/2m6f chase); dam 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful 2m2f-2m4f hurdle winner Follow The Sign; stable 0-9 in bumpers recent seasons. |
(2) Grenardier | | | | | | 5 | Harry Atkins | Martin Keighley | Sixth foal; half-brother to 2m3f hurdle winner Samtara; dam unraced sister to bumper and 2m6f-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Georgian King; one to watch first time out under a 7lb claimer. |
(8) Not So Woolly | | | | | | 5 | Harry Kimber | Joe Tizzard | £80,000 3yo; second foal; dam point/3m chase winner, half-sister to bumper/2m4f hurdle/3m chase winner Finney and useful bumper winner Our Matti; stable's bumper newcomers usually best watched. |
3rd (7) Murphy's Milan | | | | | | 5 | Micheal Nolan | Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | Fourth foal; half-brother to 2m4f/2m7f hurdle winner Thecornerhouse; dam 2m4f/3m hurdle winner, sister to 2m4f-3m1f chase winner Killard Point, half-sister to 2m4f-3m2f hurdle/smart chase (inc Cheltenham Foxhunter) winner Zemsky; very stoutly bred and unlikely to be seen to best effect in bumpers. |
(9) Lady Nell | | | | | | 5 | Charlie Deutsch | Venetia Williams | First foal of a 2m4f hurdle-winning daughter of smart bumper winner/top-class hurdler Lady Rebecca; had wind surgery prior to Ludlow debut (soft) and weakened into a remote fifth; at least interesting that she went off at only 3-1. |
4th (6) La Higuera | | | | | | 5 | Kevin Brogan | Toby Lawes | Definite signs of ability in three Irish points but kicks off under rules in a useful bumper. |
(11) Doctor Midas | | | | | | 4 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Nicky Henderson | 65,000 euros yearling; fourth foal; half-brother to French 2m2f hurdle winner Theamoi; dam French 2m1f hurdle winner, half-sister to German 1m2f Group 3 winner Theo Danon out of 1m4f winning half-sister to US 9.5f Grade 1 winner Sea Calisi; stable second string according to jockey bookings. |
2nd (1) Wicked Thoughts | | | | | | 5 | Freddie Gingell | Paul Nicholls | Bought for £135,000 after winning a British point last April; beaten favourite at Ffos Las in October (the winner, only 2l ahead, did win a Cheltenham handicap on Wednesday) and had luck on his side at Musselburgh (soft) as he was booked for second before the leader sadly broke down on the run in; has a penalty. |
(4) Kap Ouest | | | | | | 5 | Jonathan Burke | Harry Fry | Dam unraced half-sister to 2m4f Grade 2 chase winner; weak 12-1 chance at Chepstow in October (good to soft) but ran a nice race from off the pace to be third of 16; that wasn't a bad race (Aintree second Tripoli Flyer was fifth) and he's now hooded; interesting. |
1st (5) Kingston Pride | | | | | | 5 | James Bowen | Nicky Henderson | From the family of the stable's quality staying chaser Trabolgan; recruited for 200,000 euros after winning his point and it's unlikely that Lingfield's AW track in January played to his strengths when a clear second to last week's Aintree runner-up Tripoli Flyer; that effort was packed full of promise and he's difficult to oppose. |
There's no temptation to see past KINGSTON PRIDE who has a tall reputation. His second to Tripoli Flyer looks good now after the winner's excellent effort at Aintree last week and this track will surely suit Nicky Henderson's gelding a whole lot better than Lingfield's AW circuit. Kap Quest actually had Tripoli Flyer behind when third at Chepstow in October but the latter has left that form a long way behind. Harry Fry's now-hooded 5yo is the standout danger.[Alistair Jones]
Race 169: 19:36 Keeneland Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight - All Keeneland Races
1st (6) Save The Trees | | | | | 3 | Luan Machado | Wayne Mackey | Half-brother to Strong Finish, won three times at 5f and 1m. Has shown ability in his workouts and cannot be overlooked. |
2nd (1) Hold My Bourbon | | | | | 3 | Charle Oliveros | Eric Reed | Half-brother to Scotty Silver, won twice at 5f. Finished behind Yellow Card when fourth of 14 at 33-1 on his racecourse debut at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Remains open to improvement and cannot be dismissed. |
4th (4) Size Lord | | | | | 3 | Flavien Prat | Doug O'Neill | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Others appeal more. |
3rd (8) Run Jalen Run | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Joe Sharp | Placed in six of seven starts. Third of 9 behind Gould's Gold beaten at 11-5fav on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Obvious shortlist material. |
(2) Runaway Joke | | | | | 3 | David Cohen | Eric Heitzmann | Placed in three of six starts. Beaten 2l by Caper's Hooley when second of 9 at 35-1 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. Every chance of going one place better. |
(3) Knicks Hero | | | | | 3 | Gerardo Corrales | Ben Colebrook | Half-brother to My Brother Cam, won four times at 1m and 1m 4f. Would be foolish to ignore. |
(5) Outa Jail On Bail | | | | | 3 | Florent Geroux | Destin Heath | Half-brother to My Jo Jo, won at 1m. The percentage call is to look elsewhere for win purposes. |
(7) El Peligro | | | | | 3 | Andres Calleja | Concepcion Torres | Placed once in two starts. Finished behind Fifth Avenue when fourth of 8 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 5f in June last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with John Ortiz. The suspicion is he has more of a place chance than a winning one. |
(9) Cowboy Luke | | | | | 3 | Gabriel Saez | Anthony Quartarolo | Unplaced in both starts. Finished behind Guanare when fifth of 8 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Belmont At The Big A over 6f in October last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Rob Atras. Others have more compelling claims for the gold medal. |
(10) Lebombo | | | | | 3 | Luis Saez | Robert Medina | Dam won six times between 5f and 6f. Hard to fancy strongly for win purposes. |
(11) Adrift | | | | | 3 | Walter Rodriguez | Justin Wojczynski | Yet to place in three starts. Well beaten at 35-1 behind Bolt At Midnight when 9th of 11 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in February. Opposable on the balance of form. |
(12) Orizzonte | | | | | 3 | Edgar Morales | Paul McGee | Half-brother to Synchrony, won six times between 7f and 1m 1f including a Group 2 race. Finished 2 1/4l behind B Fifty Two when fourth of 8 at 25-1 on his racecourse debut at Fair Grounds over 6f last month. Certainly one for the shortlist. |
(13) Talbingo | | | | | 3 | Jose Ortiz | Brian Lynch | Full brother to Boneyardholler, won at 5f. Reserve. |
(14) Casa Limon | | | | | 3 | Orlando Mojica | Tanner Tracy | Half-brother to Kasa, won three times at 5f. Reserve. |
(15) Toscano | | | | | 3 | Irad Ortiz Jr | Larry Rivelli | Half-brother to Nilsby, won at 6f. Reserve. |
It is hard to look past the consistent RUN JALEN RUN, who arrives on the back of an excellent third in a higher grade last month. Orizzonte and Save The Trees are respected too.
Race 170: 19:37 Ballinrobe Lodge At Ashford Castle (Q.R.) Handicap Hurdle IRE 2m 6f 91y - All Ballinrobe Races
(14) Not May | | | | | | 10 | Mr Finn Tegetmeier | Hugh Paul Finegan | Promising run at Punchestown in January but distant fourth on chase debut at Thurles in February and struggled on return to hurdles at Cork latest. |
(12) Trackman Tommy | | | | | | 6 | Miss L Costello | Patrick G Kelly | Unplaced in 10 starts so far; made an error when coming down at Cork last time; needs to leave this season's form behind. |
(13) The Lucky Lobster | | | | | | 5 | Mr T Walsh | Declan Queally | Eight-race maiden and hard to fancy on anything he's shown so far; needs to improve for further; wears first-time hood. |
3rd (11) My Friend The Wind | | | | | | 9 | Mr D Doyle | E McNamara | Won on return over C&D in August and two good runs in defeat prior to pulling up at Limerick when last seen; best form is on quicker ground though. |
(3) Noble Talent | | | | | | 7 | Mr J C Barry | T J Nagle Jr | Showed ability in bumpers and confirmed that promise when bolting up on handicap bow at Limerick; beaten when unseating at Punchestown and tailed off at Cork since; hard to gauge now but warrants respect back up in trip. |
(1) Cave Court | | | | | | 7 | Mr O McGill | Noel C Kelly | Won four on the spin last year, two over timber and two over fences; brought down at Down Royal last month and tailed off at Fairyhouse since; might bounce back up in trip here and went close from a higher chase mark in November; handles testing ground. |
(5) Shotgun Jack | | | | | | 6 | Ms E C Costello | Patrick G Kelly | Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at the start of the winter but his mark suffered as a result; now tried in a first-time tongue-tie and career best called for. |
(7) See A Stride | | | | | | 7 | Mr F D Brickley | Gordon Elliott | Promise in 2022; missed 2023 but improved from her handicap debut when hitting the frame over 3m1f at Punchestown on her penultimate start; however, lesser effort at Leopardstown last time and she needs a career best. |
4th (9) Nephin Beg | | | | | | 6 | Mr J L Scallan | Sean Thomas Doyle | Won handicap debut in 2022 but hasn't managed to build on that since and was pulled up back over timber last time; now tried with cheekpieces and others preferred. |
(10) Sea Road Fill | | | | | | 7 | Mr E P O'Brien | Darren Collins | 0-10 but ran with credit over fences last time on just his second start for this yard; interesting back over timber stepping up in trip. |
(6) Mister Twist | | | | | | 6 | Mr D M Russell | Philip Fenton | Won his maiden hurdle at Downpatrick last summer but struggled twice since and best form is on better ground; off 203 days and this could be a prep for a summer campaign. |
1st (8) Oneforgonzo | | | | | | 6 | Mr Derek O'Connor | Sean Aherne | Still going okay when coming down on his handicap debut at Limerick last month but left that behind when bolting up at Naas earlier this month; 12lb rise is fair and booking of O'Connor is a positive; shortlisted. |
(2) King Of Cong | | | | | | 6 | Mr D Allen | Terence O'Brien | Didn't show a lot in maiden hurdles but made a winning handicap debut at Limerick last week when sent off 11-4 favourite; won well but the handicapper has dished out a 16lb hike in the weights; pedigree hints at him improving for further so can't be ruled out. |
2nd (4) Onlyamatteroftime | | | | | | 8 | Mr P W Mullins | W P Mullins | Bumper winner on decent ground last year and ran with credit behind Luccia at Ascot on his penultimate run; tailed off having been too keen in the Betfair Hurdle since from 7lb higher British mark; likely to be a big player from this reduced mark stepping up in trip (full brother excelled at 2m6f+). |
There was definite improvement from Oneforgonzo when winning at Naas last time and he's respected despite a 12lb rise. However, slight preference is for ONLYAMATTEROFTIME who could be a different proposition now stepping up to this sort of trip from a reduced mark having contested some good races in Britain on his last couple of starts. [Phill Anderson]
Race 171: 19:44 Oaklawn Park Race 3 - Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
1st (7) Alamo | | | | | 3 | Nik Juarez | D Lukas | A winner at 9-2 at Oaklawn Park over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Kava by 1/2l. Makes plenty of appeal. |
4th (8) What's To Do | | | | | 5 | Carlos Barbosa | John Haran | A winner at 1m. Finished behind Evie's Encore when sixth of eight at 6-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Not one to rely on. |
2nd (9) Pivosky | | | | | 4 | Joseph Bealmear | Thomas Vance | A winner at 7f. Beaten by Evie's Encore when second of eight at 11-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Can go one better. |
3rd (3) Sweet Sweetfantasy | | | | | 4 | Ramon Vazquez | Fausto Gutierrez | A winner at 1m. Third of eight behind Evie's Encore beaten at 7-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Capable of being in the shake-up. |
(1) Lil Town Sis | | | | | 6 | Keith Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | A winner at 6f. Finished 11l behind Greek Heiress when fourth of nine at 10-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. One to note. |
(2) Unstable Princess | | | | | 4 | Gabriel Saez | Carlos Santamaria | A winner at 1m. Finished 11l behind Lacie Be Good when sixth of nine at 15-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Yet to show enough to be worthy of serious consideration. |
(4) Gi Gis Map | | | | | 3 | Francisco Arrieta | Coty Rosin | A winner at 28-1 at Oaklawn Park over 1m on her latest outing in February, beating Miwoman by 3l. Likely to figure. |
(5) Gata Runz | | | | | 5 | Cassidy Fletcher | Travis Murphy | A winner at 6f. Well beaten at 50-1 behind Pistol when 10th of 11 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Others arrive in better heart. |
(6) Quiero Dinero | | | | | 5 | Walter De La Cruz | John Haran | A winner at 6f. Beaten 12l behind Pistol at 35-1 when ninth of 11 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Tough ask. |
Slight preference is for PIVOSKY, who bounced back to form with a highly creditable runner-up effort here over further last month. The four-year-old gets the vote ahead of Alamo and Sweet Sweetfantasy.
Race 172: 19:45 Bath Dragon Symbol Standing At Whitsbury Manor Handicap (Div II) (0-65) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m - All Bath Races
(8) Dolores Abernathy | | | | | | 4 | Laura Pearson | David Loughnane | Showed promise on her second and third starts 257 days apart, but has regressed in two outings at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) since handicapping; extra furlong may suit, but she does need to find a bit more from somewhere. |
4th (13) Sao Timothy | | | | | | 4 | Adam Farragher | Robert Stephens | 0-12 under rules with his best effort when second of ten off this mark at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in January, but opposable on balance; can take a keen hold. |
(1) Vellner | | | | | | 5 | Joshua Bryan | Bernard Llewellyn | Curragh maiden winner (1m2f, good to yielding) as a 3yo, but out of the frame in all six starts since joining this yard (cheekpieces made no difference last time); look elsewhere. |
(12) Mayz | | | | | | 4 | Darragh Keenan | John Gallagher | Something of a mixed bag so far, her convincing success at Windsor (1m, heavy) last October standing well above her other achievements; not quite sure what the expect back from 168 days off. |
(5) Angelica K | | | | | | 4 | William Carver | Simon Hodgson | Promising third of eight on her Kempton debut (1m3f, AW) in January, but well beaten in both starts since; from a classy Juddmonte family and still has time to make her mark now making her turf/handicap debut. |
(10) Racing Demon | | | | | | 4 | Liam Wright | Ed de Giles | Both wins in 20 starts came last summer (1m, good to firm), but he does handle softer ground and his record fresh suggests that last month's Southwell return (1m, AW) would have been needed; worth a second look. |
3rd (4) Soi Dao | | | | | | 5 | Gina Mangan | Adrian Wintle | Form has rather regressed since winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January; needs to bounce back and her record of 2-31 suggests that others are more likely. |
(9) Lilandra | | | | | | 7 | Callum Hutchinson | John & Rhys Flint | Goes on any ground and three of her four wins have come over C&D, two of them in the second half of last year; 8lb higher on this return from seven months off and her record fresh is a cause for concern. |
(6) Kimifive | | | | | | 9 | Cieren Fallon | Sue Gardner | Officially rated 31lb higher at his peak and went down by just a head in the 2020 Stewards' Cup, but a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then; three starts on the AW since joining this yard have been poor. |
1st (3) Darvel | | | | | | 6 | Charles Bishop | Patrick Chamings | Still 1lb lower than when winning at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last summer; off six months, but has run well fresh before and goes on any ground; contender. |
(2) Covert Mission | | | | | | 6 | Benoit De La Sayette | Kevin Philippart De Foy | Back off the same mark as when successful at Lingfield (7.6f, soft) last summer and there was encouragement in his latest fourth of nine at Kempton (1m, AW); interesting back from a short break. |
(11) Golden Phase | | | | | | 4 | George Bass | Denis Coakley | Sole win in 11 starts came off 6lb lower over C&D (good to soft) last August; placed in all four subsequent starts on the AW (in cheekpieces last time) and a player if ready to go after five months off; market may be helpful. |
2nd (7) King Of Speed | | | | | | 5 | Billy Loughnane | Mark Loughnane | Has been most consistent since returning to the AW last November, especially since stepped up to this sort of trip; despite that he remains favourably treated on turf, being 2lb lower than when successful at Leicester (6f, soft) in May last year; high on list. |
Covert Mission is a contender now back off his last winning mark having put up an encouraging effort on the AW last time, while Darvel is also interesting off 1lb lower than when last successful. Racing Demon and Golden Phase are others for the shortlist, but the choice is KING OF SPEED who has been performing so consistently on the AW since the autumn. Despite that he remains 2lb below his last winning turf mark.[David Bellingham]
Race 173: 19:46 Gulfstream Race 4 - Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
3rd (5) Kilkenny Bella | | | | | 5 | Jose Morelos | Monica McGoey | A winner at 1m. Finished 3 1/2l behind No Wasabi For Me when fourth of 5 at 19-5 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Should go well. |
1st (7) My Royal Vow | | | | | 5 | Miguel Vasquez | David Fawkes | A winner at 1m. Well beaten at 13-1 behind Crimson Princess when 10th of 11 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) last month. Others look stronger. |
5th (1) Fast Kimmie | | | | | 4 | Chris Landeros | Philip Serpe | A winner at 5f. Third of 5 behind No Wasabi For Me beaten 2l at 6-5fav on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. One to consider. |
4th (4) Mystic Sunrise | | | | | 4 | Leonel Reyes | Bobby Dibona | A winner at 5f. Finished 10l behind Now Showing when sixth of 7 at 9-10fav on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. That defeat leaves her with questions to answer. |
2nd (2) Cumberland Falls | | | | | 4 | Edgard Zayas | Julie Stormfelt | A winner at 1m. Beaten 1/2l by No Wasabi For Me when second of 5 at 2-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Hard to rule out. |
(3) Chilling Factor | | | | | 3 | Luca Panici | David Fisher | A winner at 5f. Beaten by Pimenova when second of 7 at 15-2 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Could get involved. |
(6) Gratia | | | | | 4 | Joseph Trejos | Diley Dakin | A winner at 1m. Finished behind A J's Memory when fourth of 6 at 20-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Unlikely to threaten the principals. |
CUMBERLAND FALLS had a few of these behind when only being denied by half a length into second over C&D last month and she can go one better. Fast Kimmie (third that day) and Chilling Factor can follow her home.
Race 174: 19:50 Limerick Limerick Races On Twitter INH Flat Race IRE 2m 3f - All Limerick Races
(2) Honky Tonk | | | | | | 7 | Mr S Cleary | E Sheehy | Third in a decent Down Royal bumper for Willie Mullins at end of 2022 and absent for 512 days until never sighted at Cork last month; tongue-tie now tried. |
5th (6) Private Policy | | | | | | 6 | Mr J P O'Rourke | P O'Rourke | Outran his odds when fifth in decent Navan bumper last month (heavy) on rules debut; more likely need to play a major role here. |
3rd (7) Silent Venture | | | | | | 5 | Mr S Cotter | Denis Paul Murphy | Arctic Cosmos gelding a 1,000Euros yearling and 33,000Euros 3yo; half-brother to useful 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase winner Panda Boy; unraced dam closely related to smart performers Friends Amigo & Garruth; pulled up on sole point-to-point start earlier this season. |
(3) Jericho Du Fenoir | | | | | | 5 | Mr Pat Taaffe | Patrick T Foley | Petillio 5yo cost 65,000Euros as a 3yo; half-brother to Champion Hurdle winner Espoir D'Allen and point-to-point winner Caviar D'Allen; dam unraced half-sister to French 2m4f Listed chase winner Mikador; interesting debutant. |
4th (4) Mr Dibbs | | | | | | 5 | Mr S Cavanagh | Adrian Murray | Runner-up in Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last summer but well held twice since in bumpers, tailed off on Gowran comeback last month on heavy ground after forcing early pace; likely wants better ground. |
1st (1) Ballygunner Castle | | | | | | 5 | Miss J Townend | W P Mullins | Out of a sister to the classy Yorkhill; plenty of debut promise at Thurles in February, staying on under considerate enough handling over 2m to finish third to an odds-on stablemate, shaping as though longer would suit; likely the one to beat now getting a greater stamina test. |
2nd (5) Olympy De Cerisy | | | | | | 5 | Mr R W Barron | Declan Queally | Impressive point-to-point winner at Loughrea earlier in the season and placed in both bumpers, notably when clear second to an odds-on shot at Navan on heavy; headgear combination now tried and major player. |
Not knocked about when a promising third on debut, BALLYGUNNER CASTLE could now take the beating over this longer trip. Olympy De Cerisy looks the danger. [Alan Hewison]
Race 175: 19:54 Laurel Park Race 6 - Allowance - All Laurel Park Races
5th (5) Desvio | | | | | 3 | Yomar Ortiz | Madison Meyers | A winner at 1m. Finished behind Malinois when fourth of 7 at evens fav on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Has something to prove after that disappointing effort. |
3rd (1) Collection Day | | | | | 4 | Raul Mena | Michael Gorham | He has won three times at 1m. A winner at 12-1 at Laurel Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Master Of None. Another bold showing is likely. |
1st (7) Sheriff Ronnie | | | | | 4 | Mychel Sanchez | Jamie Ness | He has won four times from 6f to 1m. Finished 11l behind Keithsendshelloooo when sixth of 8 at 2-1fav on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. Won his three starts prior to that and a bounce back cannot be ruled out. |
4th (4) Under The Radar | | | | | 5 | Jaime Rodriguez | Jamie Ness | He has won four times from 6f to 1m. Beaten 6l by Margin Of Air when second of 7 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Has proven to be consistent and warrants a second look. |
2nd (3) Castle Island | | | | | 4 | J G Torrealba | Kieron Magee | Won on his latest outing when 2-5fav at Laurel Park over 1m last month, beating Marty's Magic. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Brittany Russell. A strong contender on the back of his best effort yet. |
(2) Chelonian | | | | | 4 | Andres Chavez | Lacey Gaudet | He has won four times from 7f to 1m 1f. A winner at 33-10 at Laurel Park over 1m 1f on his latest outing last month, beating Uncle Irish. A must for consideration. |
(6) Porch Swing | | | | | 4 | Carlos Hernandez | Mario Serey, Jr | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Beaten 16l behind Shady Munni at 17-2 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m earlier this month. Needs to raise his game. |
The penny has dropped with CASTLE ISLAND, who is hard to oppose after a 13-length romp in a maiden claimer last time out. Collection Day and the usually consistent Sheriff Ronnie are a couple of others to monitor closely in the betting.
Race 176: 19:56 Aqueduct Race 4 - Claiming - All Aqueduct Races
4th (7) Jake Rocks | | | | | 8 | Romero Maragh | Domenick Schettino | Winner of seven races from 6f to 7f. Finished 4l behind Critical Threat when fifth of 6 at 15-2 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f earlier this month. Others preferred. |
1st (3) Tetsu | | | | | 8 | Lane Luzzi | Gregory Diprima | Winner of seven races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 14l behind Margin Of Air at 20-1 when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Hard to recommend. |
2nd (5) Ryan's Cat | | | | | 7 | Jose Gomez | Gustavo Rodriguez | Winner of six races from 4f to 7f. Finished behind Chuck Willis when fifth of 8 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. More required. |
3rd (1) Beachwalker | | | | | 7 | Isaac Castillo | David Jacobson | Winner of five races from 7f to 1m 3f. Finished behind Lord Captain when fourth of 6 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m earlier this month. One for the shortlist. |
(8) Kant Beat The Rock | | | | | 6 | Samuel Jr Camacho | David Jacobson | He has won three times at 6f. Finished 6l behind Stjames when last of 6 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Drop in grade is a positive. |
(2) Hot Rod Rumble | | | | | 5 | Manuel Franco | Rob Atras | He has won three times at 6f. Won on his latest outing when 1-4fav at Aqueduct over 6f last month, beating Moving Pictures. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with David Jacobson. Capable of a decent showing. |
(4) Capone | | | | | 5 | Trevor McCarthy | Lolita Shivmangal | He has won four times from 6f to 7f. Won on his latest outing when 13-10fav at Aqueduct over 6f earlier this month, beating Dot's Dollar by a short head. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Richard Dutrow Jr. Merits respect. |
(6) Seven Nation Army | | | | | 9 | Luis Rivera Jr | Charlton Baker | Has won nine races from 5f to 6f. Third of 7 behind Victorious Wave beaten 3l at 6-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Not one to ignore. |
Stable companions BEACHWALKER and Kant Beat The Rock warrant plenty of respect dropping in grade with preference going to the former. Seven Nation Army and Hot Rod Rumble are others to note.

(3) Manofmanywords | | | | | | 12 | Mr Chad Bament | Mrs Helen Bament | Modest rules performer when with Jeremy Scott and his recent pointing exploits are uninspiring. |
(6) Grenadine Save | | | | | | 8 | Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell | Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell | Running well in points this time last year, on one occasion beating Harbour Queen by 6l; however, the latter was ahead of her in Hearts Corner's race at Kilworthy last month as the market suggested would be the case. |
(5) Stadmallen | | | | | | 8 | Miss Heidi Stevens | Miss H M Stevens | Modest rules performer before embarking on a point career that has yielded one win in 13 starts; consistent enough but was behind some of these last time at Kilworthy (did go off at only 9-4; the winner Hearts Corner was odds-on). |
4th (1) Funky Sensation | | | | | | 10 | Mr Jake Bament | Mrs Helen Bament | Three-time point winner but was pulled up in the latest when Hearts Corner justified odds-on favouritism; 20-1 when beaten 12l in this last year. |
2nd (7) Harbour Queen | | | | | | 8 | Miss Chloe Emsley | S Payne | The winner of two points, beating Stadmallen in one of those; again had the latter behind when best of the rest behind Hearts Corner at Kilworthy; the winner was 5l ahead of her and did it comfortably. |
3rd (4) Minella Jab | | | | | | 7 | Mr Darren Andrews | Ms M Lawrence | Capable at the right level in his points but hasn't run well in his last two and was pulled up in his previous hunter chase at Stratford last summer. |
1st (2) Hearts Corner | | | | | | 7 | Mr Joshua Newman | J Newman | Comes into his debut over regulation fences after a consistent run of efforts in points, latterly comfortably accounting for Harbour Queen at Kilworthy (3m, soft); also had Grenadine Save, Stadmallen and Funky Sensation behind that day; the one to beat. |
This looks a good opportunity for HEARTS CORNER who beat Harbour Queen and others in here last time at Kilworthy. The runner-up is again poised to offer the most resistance.[Alistair Jones]
Race 178: 20:02 Tampa Bay Downs Race 6 - Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
3rd (2) American Peaches | | | | | 3 | Mariangelys Almedina | Mario Lopez | A winner at 1m. Third of 9 behind Baby's Dialed In beaten 9l at 9-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f earlier this month. Capable of a decent showing. |
4th (8) Survival Rose | | | | | 3 | Ademar Santos | Renaldo Richards | A winner at 7f. Third of 7 behind Amirati beaten at 15-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. More required. |
5th (3) Sofster | | | | | 3 | Angel Arroyo | Jennifer Quinones | A winner at 6f. Finished 4 1/2l behind Party Shaker when fifth of 6 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Collin Maragh. More needed. |
2nd (1) Twizzle | | | | | 3 | Antonio Gallardo | Kathleen O'Connell | A winner at 6f. Beaten 10l behind Hopesndreams at 15-1 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Not one to ignore. |
1st (4) Amirati | | | | | 3 | Samy Camacho | Michael Simone | She has won three times from 6f to 1m. Finished 6l behind Hopesndreams when fourth of 5 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f earlier this month. Merits consideration. |
(5) She Loves To Move | | | | | 3 | Melissa Iorio | Kathleen O'Connell | A winner at 15-1 at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Miss Fabiana by a neck. Needs to back that performance up. |
(6) Jassai | | | | | 3 | Jose Batista | Gerard Ochoa | Won on her latest outing when 2-5fav at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m in February, beating Red Haired Gal. One to consider. |
(7) Roadrunner The Cat | | | | | 3 | Hector Jr Diaz | Gregory Sacco | Won on her latest outing when 17-10fav at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month, beating Country Economics by 1l. Leading contender. |
(9) Hipatia | | | | | 3 | Gabriel Maldonado | Gregory Sacco | A winner at 1m. Finished 5l behind Platinum Diva when fifth of 7 at 18-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Could land a blow. |
ROADRUNNER THE CAT got off the mark at the third time of asking here last month and the manner of that performance suggested the extra furlong would bring about further improvement. Jassai and Amirati complete the shortlist.
Race 179: 20:07 Ballinrobe John Madden & Sons INH Flat Race IRE 1m 7f 164y - All Ballinrobe Races
(2) Chuck Bass | | | | | | 4 | Ms C A Walsh | P A Fahy | Altruistic gelding; cost 5,500 euros as a 3yo; half-brother to winners Platinumcard (1m1f/1m2f Flat, RPR 104; 2m hurdle) and Goldencard (2m-2m4f jumps); dam unraced half-sister to 2m4f hurdle winner Carlas Dream out of half-sister to useful 2m4f-3m jumps winner Limerick Leader; yard 1-124 in bumpers last five years. |
(3) Deerpark Hill | | | | | | 4 | Mr S Tobin | Sean Aherne | Ocovango gelding; dam point winner (well beaten bumper/hurdle/chase), out of twice-raced half-sister to 2m4f-3m6f hurdle/chase winner Calvic and 3m-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Hopeful Start; stoutly bred and likely best watched on debut. |
4th (8) Pondicherry | | | | | | 4 | Mr Alan O'Sullivan | Peter McCreery | Kept on for a distance seventh in a point having made errors; best watched on rules bow here. |
(11) Elusive Ruby | | | | | | 4 | Mr D Doyle | P A Fahy | Elusive Pimpernel filly; half-sister to winners Kyles Bay (7f; RPR 96), Cinnin Oir (7f; 72), Wall Street Wally (2m2f hurdle) and Our Brian (2m1f/2m2f hurdle); dam 1m 2yo winner (69); best watched for yard with low strike-rate in bumpers. |
(7) Move It | | | | | | 4 | Mr M J Kenneally | Josh Halley | Vadamos gelding; dam unraced half-sister to winners Made In Taipan (smart 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase) and Made In Time (2m3f-2m7f hurdle/chase); yard 0-6 in bumpers last five years. |
(5) Kingdom Calling | | | | | | 4 | Mr J C Barry | Eoin Christopher McCarthy | Buck's Boom gelding; cost 3,500euros as a yearling; half-brother to French winners Griviere (2m4f chase) and Jobartim (2m1f hurdle); dam placed in French 2m2f/2m3f chases, half-sister to French 2m1f Listed hurdle winner Vadero D'Airy; suitable test and probably won't mind the ground; yard get bumper winners. |
(4) El Cairos | | | | | | 4 | Mr J W Hendrick | Sean Thomas Doyle | No Risk At All gelding; cost 58,000euros as a foal; half-brother to 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner Wasdell Dundalk; dam French 1m 2yo winner, closely related to high-class 2m hurdler/chase winner Hinterland and French 2m1f-2m2f hurdle/chase winner Lofte Place; yard get bumper winners and he's worth a market check. |
3rd (12) Gino Bella | | | | | | 4 | Mr L T Turner | Barry J Fitzgerald | It's Gino filly; cost 25,000euros as a 3yo; dam French 1m7f Listed hurdle winner, closely related to smart 2m-2m2f hurdle/chase winner Fan De Blues, half-sister to useful French 2m-2m5f jumps winner Etudiant; probably won't mind the ground; yard 6-30 in bumpers last five years. |
(9) Real Empire | | | | | | 4 | Mr Finian Maguire | John Joseph Hanlon | Distant third of six in a Gowran bumper on debut in January and was 11l behind disqualified winner at Punchestown since; likely to need a step forward to land this. |
2nd (10) Swingin Safari | | | | | | 4 | Mr H C Swan | S Curling | Walk In The Park gelding; cost 30,000euros as a 3yo; closely related to 2m6f hurdle winner Tiny Tantrum; dam 2m-2m1f hurdle winner, half-sister to 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner Stormyisland Ahead; yard have bumper winners; this one may need further. |

(6) Mack The Chemist | | | | | | 4 | Mr J L Gleeson | Henry De Bromhead | Mastercraftsman gelding who was turned over when favourite in a maiden hurdle at Cork on debut, finishing fifth of 20; however, would have finished closer with a slicker jump at the last and the runner-up from that contest has gone close since; should go well now tackling a bumper. |
This could go the way of MACK THE CHEMIST who was a beaten favourite in a maiden hurdle at Cork on debut but he showed ability and may appreciate the switch to a bumper. Any money for the well bred Butch Cassidy would be significant and similar can be said for Gino Bella who represents a yard with a good strike-rate in bumpers. [Phill Anderson]
Race 180: 20:08 Keeneland Race 5 - Allowance - All Keeneland Races
1st (7) Evan Harlan | | | | | 5 | Edgar Morales | Brendan Walsh | Successful twice at 1m on good ground. Beaten 5l behind Big Dreaming at 12-1 when 9th of 11 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m (good) last month. Needs to find more to trouble the market principals. |
3rd (1) Escape Artist | | | | | 4 | John Velazquez | Michael McCarthy | Successful at 1m and 1m 1f on good ground. Beaten 10l behind Talk Of The Nation at 10-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Kentucky Downs over 1m (good) in September last year. Cannot be dismissed. |
2nd (9) Dude N Colorado | | | | | 4 | Joel Rosario | Michael Maker | Successful twice at 1m on good ground. Finished 2 1/2l behind Runaway Storm when fifth of 8 at 12-1 on his latest outing in the Group 3 Bryan Station Stakes at Keeneland over 1m (good) in October last year. Having his first run for a new stable today. Warrants respect easing in grade. |
4th (3) Freedom's Way | | | | | 5 | Luis Saez | Eddie Kenneally | Successful twice at 1m on firm and good ground. Third of 11 behind Big Dreaming beaten 3/4l at 14-1 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m (good) last month. Solid claims of at least hitting the frame. |
(2) February Son | | | | | 6 | Gerardo Corrales | Anthony Granitz | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground. Third of 10 behind Uncle Jake beaten 3 1/2l at 16-1 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. Big each-way player. |
(4) Common Bond | | | | | 6 | Alex Achard | Karyn Wittek | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 2f on firm ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 11l behind Avenue at 10-1 when seventh of 11 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m 2f last month. Others appeal more. |
(5) Judge Davis | | | | | 5 | Flavien Prat | Claude McGaughey III | Successful at 5f and 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Mo Stash when sixth of 10 at 33-10 on his latest outing at Keeneland over 5f (good) earlier this month. He is capable of playing a hand in a race of this nature and cannot be overlooked. |
(6) John Dutton | | | | | 4 | Adam Beschizza | Christophe Davis | Successful twice at 6f on the all-weather. Third of 9 behind All American Rod beaten 1 1/4l at 6-4fav on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. Others have more compelling claims for the gold medal. |
(8) Banishing | | | | | 4 | Tyler Gaffalione | Brendan Walsh | Successful twice at 1m on the all-weather. Finished 3l behind Velocitor when fourth of 8 at 14-5 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m in February. Certainly one for the shortlist. |
(10) Greek Order | | | | | 4 | Irad Ortiz Jr | William Mott | Successful at 1m and 1m 2f on good and good to soft ground. Third of 6 behind Checkandchallenge beaten 4l at 3-1 on his latest outing at Newmarket over 1m 2f (heavy) in November last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Harry & Roger Charlton. Represents an in-form stable and cannot be overlooked. |
(11) Leave It To Kitten | | | | | 8 | Jaime Torres | Kathy Jarvis | Has won nine races from 7f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 11 behind Eliza's Honor beaten 5l at 9-2 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in January. Easy to oppose in this field. |
GREEK ORDER showed very useful form in the UK when based with Harry & Roger Charlton and, representing an in-form stable, he can make his first start on these shores a winning one. Banishing and Dude N Colorado can also go well.
Race 181: 20:15 Gulfstream Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
1st (5) Empress Ellie | | | | | 5 | Leonel Reyes | Sandino Hernandez | She has won four times from 7f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten by Strand Of Gold when second of 7 at 13-5 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Warrants serious thought. |

Won on her latest outing when 6-4fav at Gulfstream over 1m in February, beating Don't Get Pickled by 1/2l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Fernando Abreu. Not without a chance. |

A winner at 7-2 at Gulfstream over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Wicked Mercury by 2l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Brittany Russell.

EMPRESS ELLIE was touched off in this grade on her latest outing and that level of form could be good enough. Sals Dream Girl and Don't Get Pickled are also worthy of consideration.
Race 182: 20:18 Oaklawn Park Race 4 - Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
3rd (7) Point Blank | | | | | 5 | Nik Juarez | William Fires | A winner at 1m. Beaten 7l by Cybertown when second of 12 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Every chance of going one place better. |

4th (11) Humor Me Now | | | | | 4 | Keith Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | A winner at 1m. Finished 5l behind Heir To Greatness when fourth of 12 at 18-5 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Capable if inconsistent. |
1st (2) Chaos Reigns | | | | | 6 | Ramon Vazquez | James Divito | Won on his latest outing when 1-5fav at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month, beating Saturday Starter. Solid claims of bringing up the double. |
(1) Philharmonic | | | | | 4 | Rafael Bejarano | Nicholas Zito | A winner at 1m. Finished behind Unstable Prince when sixth of 8 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Can make his presence felt. |
(3) Wicked Prince | | | | | 4 | Carlos Barbosa | Lynn Chleborad | Placed once in 11 starts. Well beaten at 13-1 behind Cybertown when last of 12 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Others appeal more. |

(6) Last Outlaw | | | | | 4 | Joseph Bealmear | John Haran | A winner at 6f. Finished behind Quick Buck when sixth of 10 at 15-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Karl Broberg. Would be foolish to ignore. |
(8) Nacho Chrome | | | | | 4 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Thomas Van | A winner at 1m. Beaten behind Unstable Prince at 14-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Relatively unexposed type who cannot be overlooked. |
(9) Quincy Market | | | | | 4 | Luis Fuentes | Greg Compton | A winner at 6f. Finished behind Unstable Prince when fifth of 8 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Can make his presence felt in a race of this nature. |
(10) Fashion Idol | | | | | 4 | Gabriel Saez | Shea Stuart | A winner at 1m. Well beaten at 8-1 behind Fearless Kristie when seventh of 9 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Needs to bounce back from a below-par effort, but that is possible. |
PHILHARMONIC showed up well for a long way before fading late on over an extended mile last month and, dropping back in distance, the son of Mendelssohn can return to winning ways. Chaos Reigns and Point Blank are also respected.
Race 183: 20:23 Laurel Park Race 7 - Claiming - All Laurel Park Races
4th (1) Closertotheheart | | | | | 6 | Jaime Rodriguez | Katharine Voss | A winner at 1m, but that win was over two years ago. Finished behind Moncrief when sixth of 7 at 12-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f earlier this month. Merits respect easing in grade. |
1st (3) Prize Debate | | | | | 4 | Ben Curtis | Kelly Rubley | A winner at 1m. Finished 12l behind Little Blaze when fourth of 8 at 60-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f last month. Solid claims of at least hitting the frame. |

3rd (7) Candy Arcade | | | | | 5 | J Acosta | Ramon Martin | A winner at 6f. Third of 10 behind Kaya's Halo beaten at 8-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. Would be foolish to ignore. |
2nd (4) Cora's Choice | | | | | 4 | Martina Rojas | John Walters | A winner at 6f. Beaten behind Devil Pays In Gold at 16-1 when seventh of 9 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f in February. Needs to bounce back from a below-par effort, but that is possible. |
(2) Good Story | | | | | 5 | Alexander Crispin | Calixto Juarez | A winner at 7f. Finished behind Kaya's Halo when fifth of 10 at 55-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. Others appeal more. |

(11) Chaveta | | | | | 3 | Yomar Ortiz | Joanne Shankle | Placed twice in seven starts. Finished behind Concrete Faze when fifth of 15 at 28-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. Capable if inconsistent. |
(12) Sophia's Rose | | | | | 3 | Jevian Toledo | Bruce Kravets | A winner at 5f. Finished behind Alcala when fourth of 9 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 6f last month. Cannot be overlooked in a race of this nature. |
CANDY ARCADE (second) finished ahead of Cora's Choice (third) when the pair met over an extended 5f here in January, and she can confirm her superiority over that rival en route to victory. Forgotten Gift is respected most out of the remainder.
Race 184: 20:28 Aqueduct Race 5 - Maiden Claiming - All Aqueduct Races
3rd (2) Mr. Papagiorgio | | | | | 3 | Lane Luzzi | Carlos Martin | Dam unraced. Market check advised. |
2nd (6) Betta Go Go Go | | | | | 5 | Eliseo Ruiz | Edward Barker | Placed once in six starts. Finished behind Dundie when fourth of 7 at 13-5 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Yates. Has to enter calculations. |
1st (1) Play | | | | | 4 | Jose Lezcano | Linda Rice | Yet to place in three starts. Finished 9l behind Magic Express when fifth of 7 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Adam Rice. Drop in grade is a positive. |
4th (5) Don Vino Vici | | | | | 3 | Kendrick Carmouche | Rob Atras | Placed twice in six starts. Second of 9 behind Strategic Decision beaten 1/2l at 19-10 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Domenick Schettino. Likely to be in the mix. |
(3) Gold 'N' Scarlet | | | | | 4 | Luis Rivera Jr | Charlton Baker | Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 9-2 behind Upside Potential when last of 7 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. One to avoid. |
(4) Brindano | | | | | 3 | Romero Maragh | Carlos Martin | Dam won six times between 6f and 1m 3f. Likely to improve from the outing. |
(7) Polish Up | | | | | 4 | Trevor McCarthy | Jorge Duarte | Third of 6 behind Fun At The Fort beaten 2 1/2l at 19-2 on his racecourse debut at Monmouth Park over 6f in August last year. Leading credentials. |
(8) Mr. Georgie | | | | | 3 | Jose Gomez | Michael Miceli | Placed once in two starts. Beaten by Heard On Thestreet when second of 10 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Improvement needed. |
(9) Castlecove Spirit | | | | | 3 | Elijah Greenidge | Robbie Davis | Placed once in six starts. Finished behind Heard On Thestreet when fifth of 10 at 70-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Others make more appeal. |
BETTA GO GO GO has achieved a decent level of form so far and the five-year-old is taken to shed the maiden tag at the expense of Don Vino Vici and Play.
Race 185: 20:34 Tampa Bay Downs Race 7 - Maiden Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
3rd (2) Line Astray | | | | | 4 | Carlos Lugo | Gustavo Amaya | Placed once in three starts. Finished 11l behind Awesome City when fifth of 7 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Easier to side with others. |
2nd (4) Theregoesmymiracle | | | | | 6 | Gabriel Maldonado | Jennifer Paragallo | Placed in nine of 30 starts. Finished behind Napoleon's War when fourth of 8 at 18-5 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Should go well. |
5th (9) Braggadocious | | | | | 5 | Chad Lindsay | David Van Winkle | Placed in five of 13 starts. Beaten 2 1/2l by Prince Ghost when second of 8 at 4-5fav on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Kathleen O Connell. Entitled to be in the shake-up. |
4th (1) Mintenon | | | | | 5 | Angel Arroyo | Victor Carrasco | Placed in six of 14 starts. Third of 10 behind Uncaptured Boy beaten 5l at 5-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) in February. Should go well. |
1st (5) Immense Faith | | | | | 4 | Hector Jr Diaz | Reynaldo Yanez | Placed in seven of 13 starts. Beaten a neck by Just For Luck when second of 9 at 2-1fav on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in December last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Victor Barboza Jr. Consistent enough to play a hand. |
(3) Amandaannadrew | | | | | 4 | Mario Fuentes | Bertram Manchan | Dam a lightly raced maiden. An interesting newcomer. |
(6) Extra Money | | | | | 4 | Melissa Iorio | Jennifer Quinones | Placed once in three starts. Third of 8 behind Napoleon's War beaten at 5-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Will need to take a step forward. |
(7) Electric Runner | | | | | 4 | Laureano Sosa | Bertram Manchan | Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 40-1 behind Awesome City when last of 7 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Improvement required. |
(8) Kenric | | | | | 5 | Lucky Mbatha | Ricky Davis | Placed twice in 17 starts. Finished behind Three Wolves when fifth of 7 at 30-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f earlier this month. Others look stronger. |
IMMENSE FAITH has been unlucky to fill the runner-up spot the last twice and he could make amends on this occasion. Mintenon and Extra Money are others to note.

3rd (8) She's Cool | | | | | 3 | Luis Saez | Dallas Stewart | A winner at 17-4 at Fair Grounds over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Lady Hipster by a short head. Unexposed type who may be capable of springing a surprise. |
2nd (6) Rhapsody | | | | | 3 | L Dettori | Jonathan Thomas | A winner at 6f. Finished 1 1/4l behind Dancing Duchess when sixth of 8 at 9-1 on her latest outing at Woodbine over 5f (good) in October last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Kevin Attard. Merits serious consideration easing in grade. |
4th (1) Calle Amada | | | | | 3 | John Velazquez | Todd Pletcher | Won on her latest outing when 1-2fav at Philadelphia Park over 6f in September last year, beating My Brazilian Girl by a neck. Obvious shortlist material. |
1st (3) Emery | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | B Cox | A winner at 6f. Finished 5l behind Just F Y I when fourth of 6 at 21-20fav on her latest outing in the Group 1 Frizette Stakes at Belmont At The Big A over 1m in October last year. Commands respect with her sights lowered. |
(2) Princesa Celina | | | | | 3 | Jose Ortiz | Wesley Ward | A winner at 5f. Third of 8 behind Trial beaten 2l at 2-1fav on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in February. Remains open to improvement and cannot be overlooked. |
(4) These Apples | | | | | 3 | Abel Cedillo | Eric Foster | A winner at 6f. Finished 10l behind Nice As Pie when fifth of 9 at 22-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Opposable on the balance of form. |
(5) Antique Silver | | | | | 3 | Joel Rosario | Michael Maker | A winner at 5f. Finished 7l behind Hot Beach when fifth of 8 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 5f (firm) earlier this month. Needs more if she is to trouble the market principals. |
(7) Yuma's Shadow | | | | | 3 | Evin Roman | Eliska Kubinova | Half-sister to Silent Chaos, won twice at 1m. A winner at 7-1 at Turfway Park over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Classy'n Connected by a neck. She will need to build on that victory if she is to play a hand in this company. |
EMERY was sent off a warm order when finishing fourth in the Frizetee Stakes at Belmont in October, but that form has worked out well and it would be no surprise to see her return to winning ways in these calmer waters. Calle Amada and Princesa Celina also warrant respect.
Race 187: 20:46 Gulfstream Race 6 - Maiden Optional Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
4th (3) Guaio | | | | | 3 | Fernando Jara | J O Dwyer | Placed in all three of his starts. Beaten 2 1/2l by Homer Jones when second of 9 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. One to be interested in. |
5th (2) Doctor's Orders | | | | | 3 | Chris Landeros | Mark Casse | Half-brother to Yes I Am Free, won 13 times at 5f including two Grade 3 races. Finished behind Eastbostonbenny when fifth of 13 at 10-1 on his racecourse debut at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Will need to take a step forward. |
2nd (5) Dunes Of Gold | | | | | 3 | Edwin Gonzalez | Jose D Angelo | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten behind Princetown at 18-1 when 11th of 16 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) last month. Others appeal more. |
3rd (7) Swift Delivery | | | | | 3 | Patrick Husbands | Mark Casse | Yet to place in four starts. Finished 6l behind Roscar when fourth of 6 at 3-5fav on his latest outing at Woodbine over 7f in November last year. Will find this easier. |
1st (1) Quester | | | | | 3 | Edgard Zayas | Todd Pletcher | Dam won at 1m 2f. Third of 13 behind Eastbostonbenny beaten at 18-5 on his racecourse debut at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Could have more to offer. |
(4) What Plan | | | | | 3 | Emisael Jaramillo | George Weaver | Half-brother to Urban, won at 6f. The market can guide. |
(6) Major Offensive | | | | | 3 | Leonel Reyes | Brendan Walsh | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Likely to need this opening bid. |
QUESTER hit the frame on his debut over shorter here last month and, with improvement expected, he could be the one to beat. Guaio and Swift Delivery are feared most.
Race 188: 20:50 Oaklawn Park Race 5 - Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
3rd (11) Everlovinghand | | | | | 6 | Hugo Torres | Fernando Bahena | He has won three times at 1m. Finished 20l behind Mystery Mo when sixth of 9 at 40-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Looks up against it in this field. |
4th (4) Canadian Game | | | | | 9 | Alberto Pusac | William Martin | Has won eight races at 1m, but last win was over three years ago. Third of 9 behind Mystery Mo beaten 15l at 15-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Would be foolish to ignore. |
2nd (10) Canadian Pharoah | | | | | 7 | Keith Asmussen | Norman McKnight | He has won four times from 1m to 1m 1f. Finished 10l behind W W Crazy when sixth of 9 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m (good) last month. Capable if inconsistent. |
1st (2) Make Noise | | | | | 9 | Kelsi Harr | Robert Cline | He has won four times from 7f to 1m. Beaten 13l behind Boogie Bode at 39-1 when 9th of 12 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m earlier this month. Others are preferred. |
(1) Hightail Cowboy | | | | | 7 | Alexander Castillo | McLean Robertson | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Finished 8l behind Afleet Sky when fifth of 11 at 60-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m in February. Merits respect easing in grade. |
(3) Promising Shoes | | | | | 10 | Walter De La Cruz | Tammy Hornsby | Has won 17 races at 1m. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Mystery Mo when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Needs more. |
(5) Galactic Empire | | | | | 5 | Rocco Bowen | Timothy Martin | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 18l behind Mystery Mo when fifth of 9 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Certainly one for the shortlist. |
(6) Jim And Jim | | | | | 5 | Joseph Bealmear | Fernando Bahena | Successful at 6f and 1m. Beaten 13l behind Twitty City at 30-1 when 9th of 12 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m earlier this month. Hard to fancy strongly for win purposes. |
(7) Lookin For Revenge | | | | | 7 | Gabriel Saez | Daniel Simonovich | Has won eight races at 1m. Beaten 9l behind Shacks Way at 45-1 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m earlier this month. The suspicion is he has more of a place chance than a winning one. |
(8) Cyclone | | | | | 5 | Ramsey Zimmerman | Kim Puhl | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Beaten 13l behind W W Crazy at 30-1 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m (good) last month. Opposable. |
(9) Runningforcash | | | | | 4 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Cipriano Contreras | Successful twice at 1m. Third of 11 behind Zap Motion beaten 6l at 9-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Timothy Martin. Big each-way contender. |
(12) Ego | | | | | 9 | Francisco Arrieta | Karl Broberg | Has won nine races at 1m. Beaten 2 1/4l by Twitty City when second of 12 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m earlier this month. Every chance of going one place better. |
RUNNINGFORCASH posted a game effort when finishing third in a higher grade last month and with his sights lowered, he shades preference in what looks a trappy affair. Hightail Cowboy and Ego also enter the reckoning.
Race 189: 20:55 Laurel Park Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Laurel Park Races
4th (5) Clockstrikestwelve | | | | | 8 | Angel Cruz | Michael Jones | Has won eight races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten a neck by Kick Out The Jams when second of 10 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in February. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with James Alessi. Would be foolish to ignore. |
1st (10) Thisnameisokay | | | | | 5 | Jhonatan Mendoza | Steve Cooper | Winner of five races from 7f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 10l behind Always Laughing when last of 5 at 5-2 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time and needs the application to have a transformative effect. |
3rd (11) Sal's Blue Jacket | | | | | 4 | Ben Curtis | Michael Stidham | Successful twice at 1m on good and soft ground and on the all-weather. Finished 7l behind Forever Dixie when fourth of 5 at 14-1 on her latest outing at Woodbine over 1m in October last year. Unexposed at this level and cannot be discounted. |
2nd (12) Charmed Way | | | | | 5 | Forest Boyce | Jane Cibelli | She has won three times at 1m on firm and good ground. Third of 10 behind Sweet Dani Girl beaten 3/4l at 75-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) in February. Merits consideration with her sights lowered. |
(1) Continentalcongres | | | | | 5 | Horacio Karamanos | Michael Trombetta | She has won three times from 7f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 7l behind Patty Cakes when fourth of 8 at 16-10 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Commands respect easing in grade. |
(2) On The Shortlist | | | | | 4 | Angel Rodriguez | Erin McClellan | She has won three times at 1m on firm and good ground. Finished 3l behind Implicated when sixth of 9 at 55-1 on her latest outing in the Grade 3 Pebbles Stakes at Aqueduct over 1m (good) in November last year. Warrants serious consideration. |
(3) Respectfully | | | | | 6 | Jaime Rodriguez | Jamie Ness | Has won nine races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten a short head by Pistol Liz Ablazen when second of 9 at 11-10fav on her latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. Every chance of going one place better. |
(4) Mia Tosca | | | | | 5 | Horacio Karamanos | Kathleen Demasi | She has won three times at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 12l behind Pistol Liz Ablazen when fifth of 9 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month. Big each-way player. |
(6) True Blue Pearl | | | | | 5 | Jevian Toledo | Hugh McMahon | Winner of five races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 2 1/4l by Polka Polenta when second of 8 at 17-4 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. Merits a second look. |
(7) Haint Blue | | | | | 4 | Raul Mena | Hamilton Smith | Successful twice at 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 2 1/4l by Stop The Cap when second of 6 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Largely consistent type who shouldn't be underestimated. |
(8) She Is Wisky | | | | | 5 | Sheldon Russell | Brittany Russell | She has won four times from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten behind Charming Way at 9-2 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 1f in November last year. She may need a few of her rivals to falter to take the gold medal. |
(9) Paper Mansion | | | | | 5 | Kevin Gomez | Jamie Ness | Has won 11 races from 5f to 1m 3f on good ground and on the all-weather. Won on her latest outing when 1-10fav at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m 3f (good) last month, beating Ariana Valentina. Obvious shortlist material. |
SAL'S BLUE JACKET remains relatively unexposed after just five career starts and after finishing an admirable fourth in a higher grade most recently, she gets the vote to return to winning ways. Clockstrikestwelve and Paper Mansion also enter the reckoning.
Race 190: 21:00 Santa Anita Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight - All Santa Anita Races
4th (3) Defensor Fortis | | | | | 4 | Diego Herrera | Peter Miller | Placed once in ten starts. Finished 3l behind Hot Legs Romolo when fourth of 8 at 15-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Likely to find a few too strong. |
2nd (1) Vodka Vodka | | | | | 3 | Kyle Frey | Aggie Ordonez | Placed once in three starts. Beaten 1 1/4l by Takes Three when second of 7 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Holds every chance. |
1st (6) Bert's Prospect | | | | | 4 | Mike Smith | Sean McCarthy | Placed twice in five starts. Third of 8 behind Hot Legs Romolo beaten 1 1/4l at 14-5 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Merits consideration. |
3rd (2) Rhino | | | | | 4 | Umberto Rispoli | Juan Landeros | Placed in all three of his starts. Beaten 1/2l by Hot Legs Romolo when second of 8 at 5-2fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Key player. |
(4) Special Club | | | | | 3 | Antonio Fresu | Craig Lewis | Placed twice in four starts. Beaten a short head by Known Idea when second of 7 at 33-10 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Can mount a serious challenge. |
(5) Vols | | | | | 3 | Mario Gutierrez | George Papaprodromou | Unplaced in all four starts. Third of 7 behind Takes Three beaten 3 1/2l at 55-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Others preferred. |
(7) Maxville | | | | | 4 | Ricardo Gonzalez | Antonio Garcia | Placed in three of 12 starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind Hot Legs Romolo when fifth of 8 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Can figure, but he looks vulnerable to an improver. |
A few with chances but marginal preference is for RHINO, who produced a decent speed figure for the grade when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month. Others to note include Vodka Vodka, Special Club and Bert's Prospect.
Race 191: 21:02 Aqueduct Race 6 - Claiming - All Aqueduct Races
4th (2) Petrolo | | | | | 4 | Kendrick Carmouche | Kevin Bond | A winner at 1m. Finished 10l behind Reserve Currency when last of 6 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with James H Bond. Appears to be up against it. |
3rd (3) Beary Funny | | | | | 4 | Manuel Franco | Michael Maker | A winner at 7f. Third of 7 behind Newport Bridge beaten 1 1/4l at 11-10fav on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Linda Rice. Holds every chance. |
2nd (1) Ice Road | | | | | 5 | Trevor McCarthy | Peter Walder | A winner at 7f. Beaten a neck by Arrebato when second of 9 at 12-5 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m earlier this month. Merits consideration. |
1st (5) Principe D'Oro | | | | | 5 | Jose Lezcano | Linda Rice | A winner at 1m, but that win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 19-2 behind Expected Value when last of 9 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Adam Rice. One to avoid. |
(4) I Love Cara | | | | | 4 | Omar Moreno Hernandez | Oscar Barrera III | A winner at 1m. Finished 12l behind What A Blast when fifth of 7 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Capable of better. |
(6) Phantom Jewel | | | | | 5 | Luis Rivera Jr | Gary Contessa | A winner at 15-2 at Laurel Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Marty's Magic. Faces a tougher assignment. |
(7) Golden Purchase | | | | | 5 | Madison Olver | Eduardo Jones | A winner at 1m. Finished behind Uncle Water Flow when fifth of 6 at 9-4 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Likely to struggle. |
ICE ROAD's recent neck second at this track is likely to prove good enough for the five-year-old to get his head back in front. Beary Funny is respected along with I Love Cara.
Race 192: 21:07 Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
2nd (7) Guaranteed Speck | | | | | 5 | Scott Spieth | Anthony Russo | Successful at 7f and 1m. Beaten 6l behind Justintimeforwine at 18-1 when seventh of 12 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Needs to put that effort behind him. |
5th (3) Varatti | | | | | 5 | Charlie Marquez | Craig Smith | A winner at 6f, but that win was over two years ago. Third of 7 behind Silver Style beaten 2l at 11-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month. Could get involved. |
3rd (2) Final Verdict | | | | | 4 | Pablo Morales | John Rigattieri | He has won three times at 6f. A winner at 13-5 at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Song Runner. Warrants plenty of respect. |
1st (6) Fortysixcounts | | | | | 4 | Antonio Gallardo | Kathleen O'Connell | Full brother to Fru Fru Zan, won twice at 6f. A winner at 14-5 at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating D Hopper by 14l. Improvement forthcoming. |
(8) Opposites Attract | | | | | 4 | Samy Camacho | Maria Bowersock | Successful at 5f and 1m. Finished 2 3/4l behind Gilded Age when sixth of 10 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Trombetta. Unlikely to be good enough. |
(1) Sam Stormy | | | | | 4 | Skyler Spanabel | Mario Lopez | A winner at 7f. Beaten 3 1/2l by Silver Slugger when second of 10 at 35-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f (good) last month. One to consider. |
(5) Last Action Hero | | | | | 5 | Gabriel Maldonado | Javier Gonzalez | Well beaten at 30-1 behind Skyro when last of 10 on his racecourse debut at Gulfstream over 1m in December last year. Easier to side with others. |
FORTYSIXCOUNTS hosed up by just under 14 lengths on his debut over 6f here and he should have plenty more to offer. Final Verdict and Sam Stormy could also get involved.
Race 193: 21:12 Keeneland Race 7 - Allowance - All Keeneland Races
4th (2) Winfromwithin | | | | | 6 | Gerardo Corrales | William Morey | Winner of five races from 7f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 3 1/2l by Kubrick when second of 8 at 17-10 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Speedier types should have his measure. |
1st (10) Oceanic | | | | | 7 | Reylu Gutierrez | Jordan Blair | He has won four times at 5f on good ground. Finished 4 1/2l behind Outadore when sixth of 10 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in December last year. Hitting the frame isn't out of the question. |
2nd (11) Just Might | | | | | 8 | Jaime Torres | Michelle Lovell | Has won 12 races from 5f to 6f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 3 1/2l by Minnesota Ready when second of 7 at 19-10 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (firm) in February. He's not easily dismissed. |
3rd (7) Axthelm | | | | | 5 | Jose Ortiz | S Joseph Jr | He has won three times from 5f to 1m on good ground. A winner at 15-2 at Gulfstream over 5f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Mamba On Three by 1/2l. Another bold bid is forecast. |
(1) Gentle Soul | | | | | 7 | J R Leparoux | W Calhoun | Winner of five races at 1m on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 5l behind Me And Mr. C when fifth of 10 at 15-2 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1m (good) in July last year. Best watched on this drop in trip. |
(3) Ambivalent | | | | | 6 | James Graham | Grant Forster | He has won three times from 5f to 6f on good ground. Won on his latest outing when 6-4fav at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month, beating On Your Mark. A place isn't out of the question. |
(4) Olympic Runner | | | | | 8 | Luis Saez | Mark Casse | Winner of six races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 5l behind Never Explain when sixth of 10 at 22-1 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) in February. He doesn't appear the force of old. |
(5) Nice Ace | | | | | 6 | Abel Cedillo | Tim Girten | Has won 11 races from 5f to 1m on the all-weather. A winner at 13-2 at Presque Isle Downs over 1m on his latest outing in August last year, beating Franz Josef by 1/2l. He's yet to prove as effective on turf. |
(6) Outlaw Kid | | | | | 5 | Tyler Gaffalione | George Weaver | He has won four times from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 6l behind Patches O'houlihan at 7-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Vigil Stakes at Woodbine over 6f in September last year. A return to this surface should suit. |
(8) Devil's Tower | | | | | 6 | Christopher Emigh | Armando Hernandez | Has won 14 races from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Ryvit when fifth of 7 at 17-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f in February. He could have a say if proving as good on turf. |
(9) Mark Of The Z | | | | | 8 | Emmanuel Giles | Jose Rodriguez | Has won 11 races from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 12 behind Heaven Street beaten 1/2l at 17-2 on his latest outing at Keeneland over 5f (good) in October last year. Each-way player. |
(12) Smokin' Jay | | | | | 6 | Adam Beschizza | Kelsey Danner | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 8 behind Arrest Me Red beaten 3l at 13-1 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Others are more convincing. |
(13) Let My People Go | | | | | 5 | Martin Garcia | Victoria Oliver | He has won three times from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 4 1/2l behind Arzak at 45-1 when seventh of 12 on his latest outing at Keeneland over 5f (good) earlier this month. Reserve. |

AXTHELM posted a career-best performance when scoring at Gulfstream last month and a brace could be on the horizon. Oceanic and Mark Of The Z are others to be interested in.
Race 194: 21:18 Gulfstream Race 7 - Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
3rd (5) Valentine Bug | | | | | 7 | Miguel Vasquez | Jennifer Young | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m 1f on the all-weather. Third of seven behind Sand Dancer beaten 3 1/2l at 18-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Do not dismiss. |
1st (7) Swashbuckle | | | | | 6 | Emisael Jaramillo | Javier Negrete | He has won four times from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of seven behind Mr Crowley beaten 2 1/4l at 10-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) last month. Needs more to figure. |
5th (9) Lights Of Broadway | | | | | 4 | Edwin Gonzalez | Peter Walder | Successful twice at 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 1 1/4l by Souper Energizer when second of eight at 3-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Holds strong claims. |

2nd (3) Lorenz | | | | | 6 | Patrick Husbands | S Joseph Jr | Placed once in five starts. Third of seven behind Fighter In The Win beaten at 5-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in February. Capable of being in the shake-up. |
(1) Kitten's Spa | | | | | 8 | Joe Bravo | Herman Wilensky | Winner of six races from 1m to 1m 3f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather, but last win was over two years ago. Third of seven behind Thenorthremembers beaten 2 1/4l at 12-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Could be in the mix. |
(2) Jerry's Turn | | | | | 6 | Paco Lopez | Timothy Hills | Successful at 5f and 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Alley Oop Johnny when fifth of six at 18-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f earlier this month. Has a bit to find. |
(6) Yacowlef | | | | | 4 | Chris Landeros | J Sisterson | Successful at 6f and 7f on good to soft and soft ground. Beaten 8l behind Phileas Fogg at 35-1 when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) last month. Difficult to recommend. |
(8) Dominate Themoment | | | | | 7 | Luca Panici | Garry Lee | Winner of seven races from 7f to 1m on good ground. Third of 12 behind Citizen K beaten 1 1/4l at 10-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) in February. The one to be with. |

DOMINATE THEMOMENT wasn't beaten far over C&D last time and he must hold every chance if building upon that creditable effort. Lights Of Broadway and Lorenz can give him most to think about.

3rd (8) Petula | | | | | 4 | Luis Fuentes | Joe McKellar | Successful twice at 6f. A winner at 19-2 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on her latest outing in February, beating Doughty by a short head. Obvious shortlist material. |

(4) Lady Astrid | | | | | 6 | Kelsi Harr | Robert Cline | She has won three times from 5f to 1m. Finished 7l behind Diva Treva when sixth of 9 at 28-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Others appeal more. |
(5) Jeri Dawn | | | | | 6 | Ramsey Zimmerman | Timothy Martin | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten 16l behind Chasing Shadows at 66-1 when last of 11 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m earlier this month. Opposable. |
(7) Shutup Please | | | | | 4 | Gabriel Saez | Tim Dixon | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 12l behind Summer Of Mischief when fourth of 8 at 40-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Big each-way contender. |
(9) Summorya | | | | | 4 | Rafael Bejarano | Dan Ward | Successful twice at 6f. Won on her latest outing when 13-10fav at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month, beating Courageous Cappen by 3/4l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Ron Moquett. Commands the utmost respect. |
(10) She's Storming | | | | | 4 | Joseph Bealmear | Edgar Espinoza | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten 19l behind Summer Of Mischief at 19-2 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Hewitt. Needs to bounce back from a lacklustre effort, but that is possible. |
(12) Navagationalbeacon | | | | | 6 | Alexander Castillo | Melton Wilson | Successful twice at 6f. Well beaten at 75-1 behind Summer Of Mischief when last of 8 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. The suspicion is she has more of a place chance than a winning one. |
(13) Mocha Kiss | | | | | 7 | Nik Juarez | Shea Stuart | She has won three times from 6f to 1m, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 12l behind Sulwe when fifth of 6 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Reserve. |
(14) Magnolia Mae | | | | | 4 | Joseph Bealmear | Thomas Vance | Successful twice at 6f. A winner at 10-1 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on her latest outing earlier this month, beating Pat's Gal by 4l. Reserve. |
PETULA scored in determined fashion over C&D when last seen in February, and a repeat of that effort should be enough to see her bring up the double. Chai Tea and Summorya are respected most out of the remainder.
Race 196: 21:26 Laurel Park Race 9 - Allowance - All Laurel Park Races
3rd (6) Atlas Strong | | | | | 4 | Martina Rojas | Tim Woolley | Full sister to My Thoughts, won twice at 6f and 1m. A winner at 10-1 at Laurel Park over 1m on her debut outing last month, beating Virologist. Open to any amount of improvement. |
1st (2) Loving Cup | | | | | 6 | Jean Alvelo | Hugh McMahon | She has won three times from 5f to 6f. Finished 2 1/4l behind Bella Bettina when sixth of 8 at 15-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f in December last year. Needs to up her game. |
4th (8) Bella Paloma | | | | | 4 | Ben Curtis | Kelly Rubley | A winner at 1m. Third of 9 behind Sultry Lass beaten 3 1/2l at 35-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m in January. Each-way squeak. |
5th (3) Ninja Abarrio | | | | | 5 | Carlos Lopez | Bruno Tessore | Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. Beaten 2l by Brzina when second of 8 at 33-10 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. Should go close. |
5th (4) Rowsie Express | | | | | 4 | Jaime Rodriguez | Jamie Ness | She has won four times from 6f to 1m. A winner at 14-5 at Philadelphia Park over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Shetalkstomuch by 1/2l. Needs more to win this. |
2nd (1) Northern Glow | | | | | 4 | Sheldon Russell | Brittany Russell | Successful at 6f and 1m. Third of 7 behind She'sarollingstone beaten 1 1/2l at 9-10fav on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Likely to give another good account. |
(5) Go Sherry Go | | | | | 3 | J G Torrealba | Charles Frock | A winner at 1m 1f. Well beaten at 30-1 behind Determined Driver when last of 5 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Vulnerable despite the drop in class. |
(7) Flowerdew | | | | | 4 | Jevian Toledo | Lacey Gaudet | A winner at 7f. Finished 16l behind Brzina when sixth of 8 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. Held by Ninja Abarrio. |
NINJA ABARRIO had Northern Glow a length behind when second on her penultimate start and posted another solid placed effort last time. She is taken to confirm that form, while winning debutant Atlas Strong also warrants respect.
Race 197: 21:30 Santa Anita Race 2 - Claiming - All Santa Anita Races
3rd (4) Macho Queen | | | | | 5 | Geovanni Franco | Philip Oviedo | A winner at 5f. Finished 10l behind Brashanknowit when fourth of 7 at 28-1 on her latest outing at Sunland Park over 5f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Kenneth Chadborn Jr. Will do well to win this. |
4th (2) Warren's Wild Ride | | | | | 3 | Antonio Fresu | Craig Lewis | A winner at 5f. Third of 4 behind Belle Epoque beaten 2l at 11-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 5f last month. Could land a blow. |
5th (3) Yo Yo Mama | | | | | 4 | Edwin Maldonado | Gary Stute | A winner at 5f. Finished 7l behind Unkept Secret when last of 5 at 3-5fav on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Can make her presence felt. |
2nd (1) Keychain Girl | | | | | 5 | Tyler Baze | Keith Craigmyle | A winner at 6f. Finished 14l behind Crimson Rose when fifth of 6 at 3-1 on her latest outing at Los Alamitos Racecourse over 5f in September last year. She needs to better recent performances. |
1st (5) Whimsical Heir | | | | | 5 | Kyle Frey | M Glatt | Won on her latest outing when 2-1fav at Santa Anita over 6f last month, beating Donita Rose by 1 1/4l. She remains open to further improvement and can't be ruled out. |
(6) Crown Of Hope | | | | | 3 | Diego Herrera | Aggie Ordonez | A winner at 5f. Beaten 11l behind Shamrockin at 60-1 when last of 9 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. The drop in grade is a positive. |
(7) Zzyzx | | | | | 4 | Edgar Payeras | Sergio Morfin | A winner at 6f. Finished 17l behind De Joria when last of 6 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Aggie Ordonez. Up against it. |
WHIMSICAL HEIR returned to shed the maiden tag here last time out and any further improvement could see Mark Glatt's mare double her tally. Yo Yo Mama and Warren's Wild Ride head the list of dangers.
Race 198: 21:32 Aqueduct Race 7 - Allowance - All Aqueduct Races
1st (7) Fortune's Nephew | | | | | 5 | Eliseo Ruiz | Bruce Levine | A winner at 7f. Finished behind Little Luca when sixth of 8 at 9-4fav on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f earlier this month. Not today. |
3rd (6) Prince Of Truth | | | | | 4 | Jose Lezcano | Linda Rice | A winner at 6f. Third of 8 behind Amedeus Music beaten 3 1/2l at 6-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m in February. Dangerous to dismiss. |
2nd (1) Dr. Kraft | | | | | 4 | Trevor McCarthy | Chris Englehart | A winner at 6f. Third of 8 behind Quick To Accuse beaten 11l at 3-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f last month. Consistent enough to play a hand. |
4th (5) Messi The Magician | | | | | 4 | Manuel Franco | Mertkan Kantarmaci | A winner at 6f. Third of 6 behind M B's Munning beaten at 11-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Could land a blow. |
(2) Waralo | | | | | 5 | Isaac Castillo | Chris Englehart | Winner of six races from 5f to 6f. Finished 10l behind Donegal Surges when sixth of 8 at 13-10fav on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in February. Needs to put that effort behind him. |
(3) Bourbon's Hope | | | | | 5 | Samuel Jr Camacho | Eduardo Jones | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Beaten 12l behind Colonel Vargo at 18-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Needs to bounce back. |
(4) Starquist | | | | | 4 | Romero Maragh | John Kimmel | A winner at 6f. Finished 7l behind Twenty Six Black when sixth of 8 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Belmont Park over 6f (good) in May last year. Others appeal more. |
PRINCE OF TRUTH hit the frame in this grade over a mile here in February and he can cope with this drop in trip to record his second career success. Messi The Magician and Dr. Kraft aren't out of it either.
Race 199: 21:37 Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
1st (10) Pure Magic Girl | | | | | 3 | Skyler Spanabel | Mario Lopez | Placed twice in six starts. Finished 15l behind Spunforfun when sixth of 7 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. Difficult to recommend. |
5th (7) Our Prayer | | | | | 3 | Daniel Centeno | H Motion | Placed once in two starts. Beaten 1 1/2l by Faire Plaisir when second of 5 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m 1f last month. Needs considering. |
4th (6) Ratings Upgrade | | | | | 3 | Antonio Gallardo | Chad Brown | Half-sister to Rebel Town, won at 7f. The betting could provide all the clues. |
3rd (8) Stents And Statins | | | | | 3 | Vincent Cheminaud | Chad Brown | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 3/4l behind dead-heaters Belle Of Rights and Oversubscribed when fourth of 9 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) in February. Not out of it. |
2nd (2) Novara | | | | | 3 | Pablo Morales | Brendan Walsh | Placed once in two starts. Third of 14 behind Alimara beaten at 6-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Leading contender. |
(1) Miss Melodramatic | | | | | 3 | Mario Fuentes | Rachel Husted | Yet to place in three starts. Beaten behind Lady Cha Cha at 70-1 when seventh of 9 on her latest outing at Delaware Park over 1m (good) in September last year. Look elsewhere for the winner. |
(3) Joyant | | | | | 3 | Charlie Marquez | Arnaud Delacour | Dam unraced. An interesting newcomer. |
(4) Twisted Romance | | | | | 3 | Hector Jr Diaz | Christophe Clement | Placed once in four starts. Finished behind Alimara when fifth of 14 at 17-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Others might have her measure. |
(5) Ride On Cupid | | | | | 3 | Samy Camacho | Lester Barbazon | Dam won twice at 5f. Beaten by Qualificata when second of 7 at 22-1 on her racecourse debut at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month. It would be no surprise to see her feature. |
(9) Bonita Breeze | | | | | 3 | Ademar Santos | Moises Yanez | Dam won 11 times at 1m and 1m 1f. The market can guide. |
OUR PRAYER improved on her debut effort to fill the runner-up spot over an extended mile here last month and, with normal progression, she can go one better. Ride On Cupid and Novara are others to watch out for.
Race 200: 21:44 Keeneland Race 8 - Allowance - All Keeneland Races
4th (4) Havildar | | | | | 4 | Luis Saez | Richard Dutrow, Jr | A winner at 1m. Third of 6 behind Matanzas Creek beaten 2l at 14-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Each-way player. |
3rd (6) Brigade Commander | | | | | 4 | Corey Lanerie | Dallas Stewart | Successful twice at 1m. A winner at 3-1 at Fair Grounds over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating The Prince's Spur by a head. He's one of the more likely winners. |
1st (10) Cagliostro | | | | | 4 | Jose Ortiz | Cherie Devaux | A winner at 1m. Finished 1 1/4l behind How Did He Do That when fifth of 12 at 9-2 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park over 1m 1f in September last year. He is wearing blinkers for the first time, which could see him playing a prominent role. |
2nd (3) Dreamlike | | | | | 4 | Irad Ortiz Jr | Todd Pletcher | A winner at 1m 1f. Beaten 9l behind White Abarrio at 18-1 when eighth of 12 on his latest outing in the Grade 1 Longines Breeders' Cup Classic - Dirt at Santa Anita over 1m 2f in November last year. Leading claims. |
(1) Stonemont Reunion | | | | | 4 | Rafael Jr Mojica | David Rider | A winner at 1m. Beaten 15l behind First Strike at 11-1 when 10th of 12 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. Opposable. |
(2) Hurry Hurry | | | | | 4 | Luan Machado | Matthew Sims | He has won three times at 1m. Beaten a head by Clyde's Got A Gun when second of 10 at 10-3fav on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m 2f in December last year. This demands more. |
(5) Game Warden | | | | | 4 | Tyler Gaffalione | S Joseph Jr | A winner at 1m. Finished 1 1/4l behind Donegal Forever when fourth of 7 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in February. A place isn't out of the question. |
(7) Egon | | | | | 4 | Gerardo Corrales | William Morey | A winner at 1m. Finished 3 1/2l behind Adios Gary when fourth of 8 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. He needs a bit extra to fight this out. |
(8) Glen Airy | | | | | 4 | Joseph Talamo | Paul McGee | Successful twice at 1m. A winner at 19-2 at Fair Grounds over 1m on his latest outing in February, beating Midnight Raid by 1 1/2l. That triumph brings him into calculations. |
(9) Single Dot Yaht | | | | | 4 | Brian Jr Hernandez | Thomas Drury, Jr | A winner at 1m. Beaten 10l behind Clyde's Got A Gun at 4-1 when seventh of 10 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m 2f in December last year. That lesser effort must be dispelled. |
DREAMLIKE performed with credit at the highest level last year and he will take all of the beating if resuming near his best. Brigade Commander and Cagliostro can put up most resistance.
Race 201: 21:50 Gulfstream Race 8 - Allowance - All Gulfstream Races
3rd (1) Ekati King | | | | | 3 | Paco Lopez | Ronald Spatz | A winner at 6f. Finished 5l behind Jigsaw when fourth of five at 7-2 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f in February. Needs to bounce back. |
4th (4) Louie The Sun King | | | | | 3 | Hector Jr Diaz | Kathleen O'Connell | A winner at 6f. Finished 15l behind Improptude when fifth of six at 6-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f in February. Easily overlooked. |
5th (7) Jigsaw | | | | | 3 | Emisael Jaramillo | Juan Alvarado | Successful twice at 7f. Finished 7l behind Pure Class when fifth of eight at 18-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month. Yet to convince. |
1st (3) Holiday Pay | | | | | 3 | Edgard Zayas | S Joseph Jr | A winner at 6f. Third of seven behind Pure Class beaten 2 1/4l at 13-2 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f in January. Noted. |
2nd (2) Sound Of The Beast | | | | | 3 | Edwin Gonzalez | Rohan Crichton | A winner at 5f. Third of six behind Big Effect beaten at 17-10 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f last month. A key player. |
(5) Celtic Pride | | | | | 3 | Jon Rivera | Michael Yates | A winner at 7-1 at Gulfstream over 5f on his latest outing last month, beating Arrogancy by a short head. Can follow up. |
(6) Roar Ready | | | | | 3 | Leonel Reyes | Ruben Sierra | A winner at 7f. Third of six behind Brawn beaten 7l at 11-5 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Others arrive in better heart. |
A determined winner here over shorter last time, CELTIC PRIDE should relish stepping up a furlong in distance and he gets the vote ahead of Holiday Pay and Sound Of The Beast.
Race 202: 21:54 Oaklawn Park Race 7 - Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
4th (7) Papa Rocket | | | | | 5 | Francisco Arrieta | Scott Becker | Winner of six races at 6f. Finished behind Spankster when sixth of 7 at 14-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 5f last month. That reappearance must be put behind him. |
3rd (1) Samurai Prince | | | | | 6 | Ramon Vazquez | Michael Maker | Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. Beaten 1 3/4l by Ruggs when second of 9 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. He has his work cut out to reverse form with that reopposing winner. |
1st (3) Ruggs | | | | | 5 | Joseph Bealmear | Timothy Martin | He has won four times from 6f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 16-10fav at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month, beating Samurai Prince by 1 3/4l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Randy Morse. Another bold bid is forecast. |
2nd (9) Top Gunner | | | | | 7 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Cipriano Contreras | Winner of five races at 6f. Finished 5l behind Happy Is A Choice when fifth of 10 at 9-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. This is more realistic. |
(2) Albizu | | | | | 6 | Martin Chuan | Daniel Cangemi | Winner of six races from 5f to 6f. Finished 2 3/4l behind I'm Wide Awake when fourth of 9 at 9-4fav on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f (good) in January. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Robertino Diodoro. Hopes are pinned on a change of scenery. |
(4) Macron | | | | | 6 | Walter De La Cruz | John Haran | He has won four times at 6f. Finished behind Payne when sixth of 7 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Each-way player. |
(5) Blow Torch | | | | | 5 | Nik Juarez | Coty Rosin | Winner of five races from 6f to 1m. Third of 8 behind Optimal Courage beaten 2 1/2l at 16-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Another place isn't out of the question. |
(6) Out Run'M | | | | | 6 | Hugo Torres | Edgar Espinoza | He has won four times from 6f to 1m. Beaten 5l by Reckoning Day when second of 6 at 14-1 on his latest outing at Canterbury Park over 6f in September last year. A career best will be needed. |
(8) Hi Yah | | | | | 4 | Luis Fuentes | Matt Williams | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Finished 7l behind Alpine Thunder when fifth of 8 at 50-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Others are more compelling. |
(10) Flags Up | | | | | 6 | Rafael Bejarano | Randy Morse | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Beaten 6l by Cathedral Beach when second of 8 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Maker. This demands more. |
(11) Summer In Malibu | | | | | 5 | Carlos Barbosa | Kevin Martin | He has won three times from 5f to 1m. Finished 4l behind Mac Daddy Too when fifth of 12 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Bentley Combs. He cannot be dismissed. |
(12) Bandera Azteca | | | | | 5 | Ricardo Jr Santana | Karl Broberg | Has won nine races from 5f to 1m. A winner at 17-2 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Deflater by a neck. That victory puts him firmly in the reckoning. |
Last-time-out C&D winner RUGGS receives plenty of weight from his rivals and he's taken to follow up. Top Gunner and Bandera Azteca are other likely players.
Race 203: 21:58 Laurel Park Race 10 - Maiden Claiming - All Laurel Park Races
4th (1) Have No Regrets | | | | | 3 | Andres Chavez | Ramon Martin | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 6l behind Banditsgoldenchild when fifth of 9 at 80-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f last month. May take another step forward. |
2nd (6) Simon's Choice | | | | | 3 | Angel Cruz | Scott Wolfendale | Placed twice in seven starts. Beaten 1/2l by I Had Enough when second of 6 at 9-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f earlier this month. Respected with that comeback run behind him. |
3rd (5) My Asian Lover | | | | | 3 | Jean Alvelo | Anthony Aguirre | Dam unraced. Finished 8l behind Banditsgoldenchild when sixth of 9 at 22-1 on his racecourse debut at Laurel Park over 5f last month. Can only improve for that experience. |
1st (2) Run For Reagan | | | | | 4 | Juan Nunez | Steve Cooper | Placed twice in seven starts. Beaten 3/4l by American Symphony when second of 7 at 4-5fav on his latest outing at Charles Town over 1m last month. Solid chance on his sprinting return. |
(3) Big Tone C | | | | | 3 | Carol Cedeno | Nesvil Bailon | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Beaten 20l behind Petingas Twin at 22-1 when last of 7 on his racecourse debut at Laurel Park over 5f last month. Drops in class here. |
(4) Perspicacious Boy | | | | | 4 | Christian Maldonado | Jose Corrales | Placed once in four starts. Beaten behind Nico Lucky at 3-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Diane Morici. Needs to find an extra gear from somewhere. |
(7) Scat Danz | | | | | 4 | J Acosta | Raymond Ginter | Yet to place in five starts. Third of 7 behind Nico Lucky beaten at 22-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. May get closer over this shorter trip. |
(8) Mat Matters | | | | | 3 | Jevian Toledo | Bruce Kravets | Full brother to Caribbean Pleasure, won twice at 4f. Finished 4l behind Sugar's Last Hope when fourth of 6 at 9-2 on his racecourse debut at Penn National over 6f in February. Should go close with normal improvement. |
(9) Super Needy | | | | | 3 | Jaime Rodriguez | Timothy Salzman | Placed once in three starts. Third of 6 behind Restless beaten 8l at 13-5 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. A leading player at this level. |
Run For Reagan and Super Needy have both shown enough in previous starts to suggest that they can figure prominently, but a chance is taken on the less exposed MAT MATTERS. Any improvement from his opening fourth at Penn National should see him bang there at the finish.
Race 204: 22:01 Santa Anita Race 3 - Claiming - All Santa Anita Races
3rd (3) Quagmire Magic | | | | | 4 | Geovanni Franco | George Papaprodromou | A winner at 5f on the all-weather. Third of 8 behind I'm A Lucky Man beaten 4 1/2l at 40-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. In the mix. |
1st (4) The Giants Candy | | | | | 6 | Jose Verenzuela | R McAnally | Won on his latest outing when 1-10fav at Los Alamitos over 4f in February, beating Donttestyourluck by 6l. This is more demanding. |
4th (2) Mobe Town | | | | | 4 | Antonio Fresu | Lorenzo Campuzano | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 4l behind National Generaux when fifth of 9 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) earlier this month. The drop in trip can suit. |
2nd (1) Naismith | | | | | 6 | Kent Desormeaux | Robert Hess | A winner at 1m on good ground. Finished 3l behind Seismic Spirit when fourth of 10 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in April last year. Worth a second look. |
(5) Des Doigts | | | | | 3 | Edwin Maldonado | Rafael Deleon | A winner at 5f on the all-weather. Finished 2 1/2l behind Eight Clap when fourth of 6 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Others preferred. |
(6) Outgunned | | | | | 3 | Ricardo Ramirez | Jorge Periban | A winner at 6f on good ground. Beaten 15l behind Twirling Point at 35-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) in February. One to watch out for. |
MOBE TOWN didn't appear to stay the mile on his latest outing but the son of Mo Town, a winner over C&D two starts ago, ought to fare much better now eased in trip. Quagmire Magic and Outgunned are feared most.
Race 205: 22:04 Aqueduct Race 8 - Maiden Claiming - All Aqueduct Races
3rd (1) Arco Augusta | | | | | 3 | Lane Luzzi | James Begg | Placed once in seven starts. Third of 7 behind Manny Penny beaten at 19-5 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Should go well. |
2nd (8) Janssen | | | | | 3 | Luis Rivera Jr | Andrew Lakeman | Placed twice in four starts. Beaten a neck by Sondsliksomdiniddo when second of 8 at 13-5 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f earlier this month. Entitled to be in the shake-up. |
1st (4) I'm Just | | | | | 4 | Madison Olver | Christophe Clement | Unplaced in all five starts. Well beaten at 13-8fav behind Uncle Marty when sixth of 9 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m in August last year. Others appeal more. |
4th (3) Watch Hill | | | | | 4 | Manuel Franco | Michael Maker | Placed twice in seven starts. Beaten 1l by Friday I'm In Love when second of 8 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Could get into contention. |
(2) Triple Word Score | | | | | 3 | Omar Moreno Hernandez | Juan Bernardini | Yet to place in five starts. Finished 6l behind Sondsliksomdiniddo when fourth of 8 at 70-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f earlier this month. Others might have his measure. |
(5) Frankie R. | | | | | 3 | Gokhan Kocakaya | Marialice Coffey | Placed once in four starts. Well beaten at 45-1 behind Friday I'm In Love when last of 8 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Unlikely to threaten the principals. |
(6) Spoken Bluntly | | | | | 3 | Trevor McCarthy | Bruce Levine | Half-brother to Nightenford Kaz, won at 6f. Third of 9 behind Jabran beaten at 19-2 on his racecourse debut at Gulfstream over 5f in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Sandino Jr Hernandez. Likely to be thereabouts. |
(7) Mortgage Rate | | | | | 3 | Jose Gomez | Chris Englehart | Unplaced in all three starts. Well beaten at 10-1 behind Vaunted when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. Unlikely to trouble his rivals. |
(9) Irie Man | | | | | 3 | Isaac Castillo | Charlton Baker | Yet to place in four starts. Finished behind Manny Penny when fourth of 7 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Needs to improve. |
(10) Solo Tonight | | | | | 3 | Kendrick Carmouche | Horacio De | Placed twice in four starts. Third of 10 behind In A Minute beaten 3 1/2l at 2-1fav on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f last month. One to consider. |
SPOKEN BLUNTLY produced an encouraging debut effort to finish third at Gulfstream in February and, with normal improvement, he could be the one to beat. Watch Hill and Arco Augusta are also worthy of consideration.
Race 206: 22:16 Keeneland Race 9 - Baird Doubledogdare Stakes - Grade 3 - All Keeneland Races
2nd (6) Hidden Connection | | | | | 5 | Reylu Gutierrez | W Calhoun | She has won four times from 5f to 1m. Finished 12l behind Bellamore when sixth of 7 at 6-5fav on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) in January. She has a bit to find. |
4th (4) Loved | | | | | 5 | Tyler Gaffalione | Brendan Walsh | She has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f. Finished 4 1/2l behind Shotgun Hottie when fourth of 7 at 12-5 on her latest outing in the Grade 3 Molly Pitcher Stakes at Monmouth Park over 1m in July last year. Dangerous to dismiss. |
1st (1) Raging Sea | | | | | 4 | Flavien Prat | Chad Brown | She has won three times from 7f to 1m 1f. A winner at 85-40 in the Grade 3 Comely Stakes at Aqueduct over 1m 1f on her latest outing in November last year, beating Julia Shining by a short head. Likely to be on the premises. |
3rd (3) Scylla | | | | | 4 | Javier Castellano | William Mott | Successful at 6f and 1m. Beaten a neck by Beth's Dream when second of 7 at 1-2fav on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Leading contender. |
(2) Queen Of Missoula | | | | | 4 | Luan Machado | Ben Colebrook | She has won three times from 1m to 1m 2f. A winner at 33-10 at Turfway Park over 1m 2f on her latest outing in February, beating Whenthedawnbreaks by 1 3/4l. Others look more appealing options. |
(5) Saddle Up Jessie | | | | | 5 | Irad Ortiz Jr | Brittany Russell | Winner of five races from 1m to 1m 1f. Beaten 13l behind Tiny Temper at 10-1 when last of 8 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m (good) last month. Not out of it. |
(7) Curl Girl | | | | | 4 | Luis Saez | Philip D Amato | A winner at 1m. Beaten 3/4l by Forever After All when second of 9 at 9-4fav on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in February. Others might have her measure. |
RAGING SEA struck narrowly at this level at Aqueduct in November and she can repeat the dose. Scylla and Loved are also worthy of consideration.
Race 207: 22:21 Gulfstream Race 9 - Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
5th (3) Volkert | | | | | 6 | Leonel Reyes | Nicholas Palmer | Successful at 5f and 6f. Third of eight behind Cotton beaten 3 1/2l at 12-5 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Mark Hennig. Respected. |
1st (7) Bouncer | | | | | 4 | Miguel Vasquez | Mark Casse | He has won four times from 5f to 7f. Finished 19l behind Mish when last of six at 12-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. This looks beyond him. |
3rd (2) Red River Rebel | | | | | 6 | Edwin Gonzalez | Martin Drexler | Winner of five races at 6f. Beaten 5l behind True Temper at 13-1 when seventh of nine on his latest outing at Woodbine over 6f in December last year. Yet to show enough to be worthy of serious consideration. |
2nd (8) Sigiloso | | | | | 6 | Marcos Meneses | A Sanchez | He has won four times from 5f to 1m. Beaten by Detroit City when second of six at 6-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Warrants serious consideration. |
4th (4) Comedy Town | | | | | 6 | Edgard Zayas | S Joseph Jr | He has won three times from 5f to 7f. Beaten a neck by Cotton when second of eight at 18-5 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Edward Plesa Jr. Makes the most appeal. |
(1) Fair Haired Boy | | | | | 7 | Paco Lopez | Steve Klesaris | Successful at 6f and 1m. A winner at 14-5 at Churchill Downs over 6f on his latest outing in May '22, beating Mr Sippi by a head. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Kenneth McPeek. May need the run on his return from a long absence. |
(5) Free Smoke | | | | | 4 | Sonny Leon | Carlos David | Successful at 5f and 1m. Finished 4 1/2l behind Amstrong when fifth of eight at 10-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in September last year. Faces a stiff assignment. |
(6) Point Liam | | | | | 4 | Chris Landeros | Teresa Pompay | Successful twice at 5f. Beaten 3 1/2l by Maya Prince when second of eight at 19-5 on his latest outing at Colonial Downs over 5f (good) in August last year. Likely to figure. |
COMEDY TOWN had Volkert (third) behind when runner-up here last time and he is taken to go one better now. Sigiloso is entitled to be thereabouts as well after some creditable efforts in defeat.
Race 208: 22:26 Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Starter Allowance - All Oaklawn Park Races
4th (6) Threefiftyseven | | | | | 6 | Ramsey Zimmerman | Norman McKnight | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Beaten 5l by Air Combat when second of 9 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Improvement will be required. |
1st (7) Lake Radio | | | | | 5 | Nik Juarez | Michael Rone | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f. Beaten by Table Money when second of 8 at 2-5fav on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Matt Shirer. A change of scenery will need to unlock his potential. |
2nd (10) Atomic Tone | | | | | 5 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Dan Ward | Has won eight races from 5f to 6f. Finished 8l behind Bandera Azteca when fifth of 8 at 13-5 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Coty Rosin. It's best to look elsewhere. |
3rd (4) Good Heart | | | | | 4 | Francisco Arrieta | Karl Broberg | He has won four times from 6f to 1m. Beaten by Happymac when second of 7 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Andres Cambray. Each-way player. |
(1) Citrus Bay | | | | | 5 | Walter De La Cruz | Santiago Tranquilino | He has won three times from 4f to 6f. A winner at 6-1 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Martini Blu by 2 3/4l. A big player if performing to a similar speed figure. |
(2) Ian Glass | | | | | 8 | Rocco Bowen | Kim Puhl | Has won nine races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 11l behind Air Combat at 19-2 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Aaron Shorter. Best watched. |
(3) Happymac | | | | | 6 | Ricardo Jr Santana | John Ortiz | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f. Third of 8 behind Bandera Azteca beaten 1/2l at 2-1fav on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Thomas Vance. Another prominent role is expected. |
(5) Concept | | | | | 5 | Ramon Vazquez | Gene Jacquot | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. A winner at 9-2 at Oaklawn Park over 5f on his latest outing last month, beating Midnight Majesty by 4l. A hat-trick cannot be ruled out. |
(8) Roman Giant | | | | | 4 | Alberto Pusac | F Loy | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. A winner at 13-1 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Pressure by a neck. That victory enters him into the reckoning. |
(9) Air Combat | | | | | 5 | Keith Asmussen | Norman McKnight | Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. Won on his latest outing when 7-5fav at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month, beating Threefiftyseven by 5l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Steven Asmussen. There was a lot to like about his latest victory. |
CITRUS BAY posted a strong speed figure when landing the spoils over track and trip in late March and a reproduction could prove sufficient. Air Combat and Concept have the form to be involved too.
Race 209: 22:34 Santa Anita Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight - All Santa Anita Races
2nd (2) Bessie Coleman | | | | | 3 | Luis Contreras | Steven Miyadi | Full sister to Maggie Fitzgerald, won three times at 5f. Makes limited appeal on debut. |
1st (7) Ryder's Candy | | | | | 5 | Kyle Frey | Anthony Saavedra | Placed in five of 15 starts. Third of 5 behind Whimsical Heir beaten 5l at 3-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Could be too wily for most and has to be on the shortlist, despite looking a tad exposed. |
4th (3) Willow Cove | | | | | 4 | Armando Ayuso | M Puype | Dam won three times at 6f and 7f. One just for the notebook. |
3rd (1) Raising Silver | | | | | 3 | Antonio Fresu | Carla Gaines | Beaten 1/2l by Putt For Dough when second of 10 at 19-2 on her racecourse debut at Del Mar over 5f in July last year. Showed stacks of promise that day and could be even more of a livewire now she knows a little more. |
(4) Flash That Smile | | | | | 4 | Abdul Alsagoor | Sean McCarthy | Full sister to Scary Fast Smile, won four times between 4f and 6f. Has shown ability in her workouts and needs to be taken seriously. |
(5) Made To Move | | | | | 3 | Geovanni Franco | Karen Headley | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Best just watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. |
(6) Danzing Flyer | | | | | 3 | Tyler Baze | Clifford Sise | Half-sister to Girl Ranger, won at 5f. Another whose work reports suggest she could be a bright prospect and a betting check is a must. |
(8) Moonlight Tryst | | | | | 4 | Hector Berrios | D Hofmans | Half-sister to Keezar, won seven times between 3f and 6f. A daughter of American Pharoah, she warrants a betting check on her racecourse debut. |
RAISING SILVER showed stacks of promise on her sole previous start and rates the most intriguing option in an otherwise ordinary looking maiden. Ryder's Candy is another with experience to consider, while the betting will be revealing as far as newcomers Danzing Flyer and Moonlight Tryst are concerned.
Race 210: 22:48 Keeneland Race 10 - Allowance - All Keeneland Races
5th (7) Scoobie Quando | | | | | 4 | Luis Saez | Ben Colebrook | Successful at 6f and 1m on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 12-5fav at Turfway Park over 1m last month, beating Ironsides. Will need to take another step forward. |
3rd (10) Noises Off | | | | | 4 | Joel Rosario | Paulo Lobo | Successful twice at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 21-20fav at Turfway Park over 1m in January, beating Archie The Giza by 1 1/4l. Could run into the money. |
2nd (1) Belouni | | | | | 4 | Irad Ortiz Jr | Chad Brown | He has won three times from 7f to 1m on good ground. Finished behind Quality G when fifth of 15 at 28-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) last month. Not without a chance. |
4th (3) Wonderful Justice | | | | | 4 | Flavien Prat | B Cox | Successful twice at 1m on good ground. Beaten a head by Big Dreaming when second of 11 at 15-1 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m (good) last month. It would be no surprise to see him involved. |
1st (11) Northern Invader | | | | | 4 | Jose Ortiz | Cherie Devaux | Successful twice at 1m on good ground. Finished 1l behind Big Dreaming when fourth of 11 at 7-10fav on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m (good) last month. Fancied to be bang there. |
(2) Chiron | | | | | 5 | Jane Elliott | Richard Estvanko | Successful twice at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 11-1 at Turfway Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Tiberius Mercurius by a short head. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
(4) Franz Josef | | | | | 6 | Luan Machado | Glenn Wismer | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 17l behind Accredit at 40-1 when 10th of 11 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in December last year. Looks vulnerable once more. |
(5) Dhabab | | | | | 5 | Adam Beschizza | E F Vaughan | Successful at 6f and 7f on good to firm ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 10l behind Night Time at 17-2 when 9th of 11 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in December last year. Hard to rule out. |
(6) Loyal Company | | | | | 4 | Tyler Gaffalione | Brendan Walsh | Successful at 6f and 7f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Quality G when sixth of 15 at 13-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) last month. He has a bit to find. |
(8) Brumba Waffle Toes | | | | | 4 | Axel Concepcion | Adam Rice | He has won four times from 1m to 1m 1f on the all-weather. Finished 8l behind Extrasexybigdaddee when fifth of 6 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Presque Isle Downs over 1m in October last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Kevin Rice. Difficult to recommend. |
(9) Wicked Finn | | | | | 6 | Junior Alvarado | Blake Kelly | Winner of seven races from 7f to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 2l behind Rough Draft when fourth of 7 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) last month. Hard to fancy. |
NORTHERN INVADER was denied by just under a length into fourth at Fair Grounds last month and he could make his first start at this track a successful one. Wonderful Justice and Belouni could also have a say.
Race 211: 22:58 Oaklawn Park Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
2nd (12) Holding Pattern | | | | | 6 | Rocco Bowen | Thomas Swearingen | Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. A winner at 13-2 at Oaklawn Park over 6f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Stomping Hotrod. Worth a second look. |
4th (11) Hit Scene | | | | | 4 | Ramsey Zimmerman | R Owens | A winner at 6f. Finished 12l behind Midnight Taxes when fourth of 10 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Enters calculations. |
1st (7) Bettys Cash | | | | | 5 | Luis Quinonez | Donnie Von Hemel | He has won three times at 6f. Finished 4 1/2l behind Black Apple when fourth of 9 at 9-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Could get involved. |
3rd (8) Al's Romeo | | | | | 4 | Nik Juarez | Shea Stuart | Successful at 5f and 6f. Third of 11 behind Mahomey beaten 2 1/4l at 45-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Not without a chance. |
(1) Natorade | | | | | 4 | Carlos Barbosa | Thomas Van | A winner at 7-2 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Hayahlookatme by 1/2l. One to be interested in. |
(2) Peace Dog | | | | | 5 | Rafael Bejarano | Eusebio Rufino | He has won four times from 5f to 6f. Finished 2 3/4l behind Mahomey when fifth of 11 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Place claims. |
(3) Mahomey | | | | | 6 | Joseph Bealmear | Michael Hewitt | Winner of six races at 6f. A winner at 4-1 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Blame J D by 1 1/2l. Could land a blow. |
(4) Strike Ridge | | | | | 3 | Keith Asmussen | Chris Hartman | A winner at 6f. Finished 4l behind Patton's Tizzy when fifth of 10 at 12-5 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Will find this easier. |
(5) Where's Randy | | | | | 5 | Ramon Vazquez | Randy Morse | A winner at 6f, but that win was over two years ago. Finished 2 1/2l behind Mahomey when fourth of 11 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Others look stronger. |
(6) Shake Up | | | | | 4 | Francisco Arrieta | Ronald Westermann | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 6l behind Mahomey when sixth of 11 at 9-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Looks vulnerable once more. |
(9) Macho Ronnie | | | | | 6 | Chel C Bailey | Burl McBride | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Beaten 9l behind Black Apple at 35-1 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
(10) Table Money | | | | | 4 | Walter De La Cruz | John Haran | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Beaten 8l behind Alpine Thunder at 30-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. That defeat leaves him with questions to answer. |
HIT SCENE has been mixing it in much deeper contests than this recently and he can take full advantage of the drop in grade. Al's Romeo and Strike Ridge could also get involved.
Race 212: 23:07 Santa Anita Race 5 - Claiming - All Santa Anita Races
4th (4) Mynumerouno | | | | | 6 | Drayden Dyke Van | P Gallagher | Yet to place in three starts. Beaten 12l behind Sharp Aza Tack at 14-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. Will find this easier. |
3rd (7) Disko Tribute | | | | | 5 | Armando Ayuso | Craig Dollase | Winner of six races from 4f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 6l behind Johnny Podres at 11-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. Eases in grade to aid his chances. |
1st (6) Jetovator | | | | | 8 | Edwin Maldonado | P Eurton | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f on good ground. Finished 2 1/2l behind Johnny Podres when fourth of 6 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. Could land a blow. |
2nd (3) Exultation | | | | | 9 | Antonio Fresu | P Eurton | Has won nine races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 7-10fav at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in February, beating Barristan The Bold by a short head. Holds an obvious chance. |
(1) Hot Box | | | | | 6 | Tyler Baze | Brian Koriner | Winner of six races from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 9 behind Exultation beaten 1 1/2l at 17-2 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in February. Could get involved. |
(2) Indian Peak | | | | | 7 | Luis Contreras | Peter Miller | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 3l behind Flavius when fourth of 8 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) in January. Not out of it. |
(5) Seventeen Black | | | | | 4 | Umberto Rispoli | D Hofmans | A winner at 1m on good ground. Beaten 14l behind Table For Ten at 17-2 when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m (good) in October last year. Look elsewhere for the winner. |
DISKO TRIBUTE was highly tried in stakes company here last time and this looks like a much more suitable assignment. Jetovator and Hot Box are others to note.
Race 213: 23:28 Oaklawn Park Race 10 - Maiden Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
4th (13) Speaking Loud | | | | | 3 | Joseph Bealmear | Kenneth McPeek | Placed once in three starts. Well beaten at 5-1 behind Storm Strategy when sixth of 11 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Reserve. |
3rd (4) Rocket Sanders | | | | | 3 | Richard Eramia | Donnie Von Hemel | Placed once in three starts. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Patton's Tizzy when last of 10 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Eases in grade to aid his chances. |
2nd (6) String Theory | | | | | 3 | Rafael Bejarano | R Moquett | Half-brother to Jimmy The Bull, won at 4f. Finished 6l behind Natorade when fourth of 11 at 11-1 on his racecourse debut at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Could take a step forward. |
1st (3) Amazing Success | | | | | 3 | Walter De La Cruz | Norman McKnight | Placed twice in four starts. Finished 8l behind Natorade when sixth of 11 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. He has it all to do. |
(1) Safety | | | | | 3 | Alexander Castillo | Jaime Gonzalez | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 11l behind Natorade at 75-1 when seventh of 11 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Unlikely to trouble his rivals. |
(2) Preparedness | | | | | 4 | Kelsi Harr | Robert Cline | Yet to place in five starts. Finished 9l behind Look Sharp when fourth of 8 at 75-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Could run into the money. |

(7) Yeagers Strategy | | | | | 3 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Ernie Witt | Placed once in four starts. Well beaten at 45-1 behind Natorade when 10th of 11 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Unlikely to be good enough. |
(8) Hard Luck Henry | | | | | 4 | Hugo Torres | Fermin Soto | Unplaced in all seven starts. Finished 9l behind Mr Works when fifth of 11 at 66-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Improvement required. |
(9) Day Jo | | | | | 6 | Carlos Barbosa | Burl McBride | Yet to place in three starts. Finished behind Last Diamond when sixth of 8 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. More is needed. |
(10) Swift Key | | | | | 3 | Martin Chuan | Lynn Chleborad | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten behind Patton's Tizzy at 40-1 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f (good) last month. Unlikely to threaten the principals. |
(11) Little Biscuits | | | | | 3 | Luis Quinonez | Allen Milligan | Dam unraced. Beaten 18l behind Zippy Mark at 35-1 when 10th of 12 on his racecourse debut at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Will need to find significant improvement. |
(12) Classic Cinema | | | | | 3 | Ramon Vazquez | Terry Brennan | Placed once in two starts. Third of 11 behind Natorade beaten 1 1/4l at 12-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Could make his presence felt. |
(14) Miracle Mack | | | | | 3 | Carlos Barbosa | Todd Jordan | Dam unraced. Reserve. |
CLASSIC CINEMA took a pleasant step forward from his debut effort to finish third last time and, with normal progression, he could be the one to beat. Rocket Sanders and String Theory also merit consideration.
Race 214: 23:39 Santa Anita Race 6 - Claiming - All Santa Anita Races
3rd (4) Mitico | | | | | 5 | Jose Valdivia Jr | Paula Capestro | He has won three times from 6f to 7f. Finished 4l behind Lansdowne when fourth of 6 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Could run into the money. |
1st (5) Big Buzz | | | | | 9 | Abdul Alsagoor | S Knapp | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m 2f. Beaten 12l by Nauvoo when second of 5 at 6-4fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ronald Ellis. Could get into contention. |
2nd (1) Atomic Drop | | | | | 6 | Tyler Baze | Keith Craigmyle | He has won four times from 4f to 1m. Beaten 13l behind Dont Fight The Fed at 30-1 when last of 9 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m earlier this month. Others appeal more. |
4th (2) Zimba Warrior | | | | | 7 | Antonio Fresu | S Knapp | Has won nine races from 4f to 1m. Finished 4 1/2l behind Departure when last of 6 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m last month. Others look more appealing options. |
(3) Mastermind | | | | | 6 | Geovanni Franco | Librado Barocio | He has won three times from 4f to 1m. Beaten 9l behind Flavius at 18-1 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) earlier this month. It's best to look elsewhere. |
(6) Mike Operator | | | | | 8 | Barrington Harvey | Angela Aquino | Has won 14 races from 5f to 1m. Well beaten at 10-1 behind Margot's Boy when last of 7 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) in January. Needs to put that effort behind him and he could well do so. |
(7) Nauvoo | | | | | 4 | Kyle Frey | Cesar Dealba | Winner of seven races at 1m. Finished 7l behind Dont Fight The Fed when sixth of 9 at 13-5fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m earlier this month. Not out of it. |
BIG BUZZ was second on his latest outing and that could prove to be the best form on offer in this weak event. Mike Operator and Nauvoo could also get involved.
Race 215: 00:00 +1d Charles Town Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight - All Charles Town Races
(1) Bid On Blue | | | | | 4 | Fredy Peltroche | Keith Brown | Dam won three times at 5f. May need the experience. |

(3) Thor's Lad | | | | | 3 | Orlando Bocachica | Larry Campbell | Half-brother to No Free Lunch, won six times at 5f. A newcomer to note. |
(4) Irish Wizard | | | | | 4 | Maximo Chilo | Timothy Shanley | Placed once in two starts. Third of seven behind Swiped The Castle beaten 2 1/4l at 18-5 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f in January. Must enter calculations. |
(5) Big Boy Ovi | | | | | 3 | Christian Hiraldo | Michael Sandoval | Half-brother to Princess Margaret, won three times at 6f. A tough task set on debut. |
(6) Uncle Press | | | | | 5 | Juan Nunez | Stacey Viands | Placed in three of five starts. Finished 3 1/2l behind Cupid's Song when fifth of nine at 30-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f in July last year. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
(7) Mic'd Up | | | | | 3 | Reshawn Latchman | David Walters | Dam won eight times at 4f and 6f. Not fancied on his debut. |
Not beaten far on his debut over C&D last month, EXCLUSIVE ORIGINAL is taken to go one better granted normal improvement. His chief threats look to be Irish Wizard and newcomer Thor's Lad.

Race 219: 00:43 +1d Santa Anita Race 8 - Maiden Claiming - All Santa Anita Races
(1) Toppers Wager | | | | | 4 | Geovanni Franco | Marcelo Polanco | Yet to place in eight starts. Beaten 11l behind Hot Legs Romolo at 20-1 when seventh of eight on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |

(5) Soldatna | | | | | 4 | Diego Herrera | M Glatt | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 7l behind Pioneer Prince when sixth of seven at 16-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. Capable of being in the shake-up. |

This represents a significant drop in grade for CHROME TO RICHES and he can take advantage for a first career win in eight starts. His chief threats look to be Audible Silence and Soldatna.
