Saturday's Racing Tips (26th August)

1:35 Goodwood - 

Noted juveniles: Kareva.

Note: Charles Hills two-year-old has been knocking on the door and holds respectable claims. 

2:05 Newmarket - 

Noted juveniles: Mashaheer & Betty F.  

Interesting: William Haggas' Mashaheer was fancied on debut but disappointed. This colt was earmarked for the Gimcrack (Group 2) and I suspect will show much more today. From a statistical point of view, holds decent each-way claims if prices allow. Betty F could go well for Jeremy Noseda. This homebred daughter of Frankel looks to be one of the better hopes for the stable. If starting favourite I would take that as a confident sign. 

5:10 Windsor - 

Noted juveniles: Prince Maurice, Bint Huwaar & Lamya.

Interesting: Prince Maurice has a significant entry but doesn't look to be one of the stable stars. Would hold greater claims if price 8/1 & less SP. Bint Huwaar is worthy of note. George Peckham doesn't have a huge string of juveniles but this daughter of More Than Ready is held in high regard. She cost $1000,000 at the 2yo breeze up sales and a couple of Group entries give some confidence. Could well have each-way claims. Lamya ran well on debut and held in some regard by connections. Looks the horse to beat but I wouldn't jump in at short odds especially if these two in opposition are strong in the market.   

5:25 Redcar - 

Noted juveniles: Benadalid & Mistress Of Venice.

Note: Mistress Of Venice is a talented filly who has been racing at a high level. This is a major drop in class and unless she has regressed, looks a stiff horse to beat. Benadalid is considered 20lb inferior to this talented filly on official ratings. He is a battling type but carrying a penalty will make life tough. Holds claims but may need the filly to disappoint to prevail. 

5:55 Redcar - 

Noted juveniles: Elysee Star.

Claims: Ben Haslam doesn't have many juveniles in his stable but Elysee Star is a professional two-year-old. She has run well on both starts to date and connections considered her for the Convivial Maiden at York. This auction race is probably her class but she has a fighting chance of victory.

Saturday's Racing Tips

Saturday 29th July

Sorry for being a touch quiet yesterday, was travelled back from Yarmouth and very busy. 

1:25 Newcastle - 

Micheal Bell has Highlight Reel going here after being out classed at Ascot.  

2:00 Chester - 

The idiosyncratic Chester. Interesting to see how Buridan progresses from his winning debut at Windsor. Richard Hannon rated this colt. Well entered with a couple of listed races and earmarked for the Gimcrack. He has blinkers applied to concentrate the mind on this turning 5f. Can he defy a winner's penalty? That is probably the crux of the question. A number in opposition have something to prove. Connections will be expecting a bold show. 

2:15 Newmarket - 

Groveman needed the race on debut after a slow start he did well to run on and just missed out on a place. Hills gave this son of Holy Roman Emperor and entry for the National Stakes Group 1. That looks a touch ambitious but he should progress for that first start. Looks a tough contest. 

6:45 Salisbury - 

Harry Dunlop doesn't have many juveniles but Fighting Irish has ability. This son of Camelot ran well on debut and fancied to go well second time out at Ascot. That was a muddling race with the two leaders going a stride too fast. Not the easiest horse to assess but this is an easier task. 

7:00 Lingfield - 

Body Builder is one of the lesser lights from Hannon's stable. This is an easier task.
