A timely winner.

As we were disappointed to miss Minority Report. There is an interesting newcomer at the Curragh this afternoon, David Wachman's Lagoon in the 3.45. She is superbly bred and is entered in some top races next season, including the Irish Oaks. Nearer to home we have one selection at Warwick Chateauneuf in the 2.10. Barry has his string in great form and this well bred juvenile should improve on a debut run.

Oh no, the wrong Dandy horse..

Missed out on a 33/1 winner yesterday, but nevermind let's have alook at Monday. Some decent fields at Brighton and La Famiglia looks to have asolid claim in the 2.50. Henry Candy's charge ran freely last time out but wasn't beaten far over 7 furlongs. The drop in trip should be ideal. In the 3.50 Outside Edge looks the value against the likely favourite Gulch's Rose. His best form came over this trip last time out and he can reverse earlier 7 furlong form with the Noseda runner.

Another great card at Ascot..

But our first selection is across the water at the Curragh, Sea The Stars in the 2.20. He is beautifully bred and cruised to victory last time out, there should be plenty more to come. White Deer is our pick in the 5.50 at Musselburgh. This one, along with stable companion Minority Report, is really well handicapped at present and the selection looked on the way back to form last time out. Sir Gerry could go close in the 3.15 at Ascot. James Fanshawe's charge has shown a liking for this track and only has to repeat his third at the Royal meeting to collect this afternoon.

Some excellent action

We passed over a couple of shortish priced winners yesterday, but we have to go for Tamayuz in the big one at Ascot. He is improving at a rate of knots and won in great style last time out. John Dunlop doesn't hurry his juveniles and Fallen In Love has been brough along steadily, she could be ready to strike today. Not My Choice is our choice in the 5.10 at Chester. There have been valid excuses since his course and distance success and if he gets out today he could take some catching off his new mark of 83.

A cracking card at Ascot...

There look to be a couple of good things at the Berkshire track today, Pennys Gift and Crystal Capella, but no value and so we will put up Meneur in the 5.05 as the blog horse. Gary Moore has three entered and this one should be set for a good run following a fair effort last to time when still acclimatizing. In the 3.10 at Haydock we do like the breeding of Oasis On Island. Smarty can get one ready first time out and with so many top stables with runners he could be a decent price.

We must have a go at Ponty..

Our local track has some tricky races today but we do like a couple of runners. Bryan Smart's Striker Torres could go well in the 3.00. He was quite an expensive purchase for the yard, was well backed on debut and should improve on that promsing fourth. In the 5.30 the best handicapped horse by far is Byron Bay. He wasn't beaten far in a class 3 handicap back in May and has a 17 pound lower mark this afternoon.

Some interesting runners on Tuesday

A few big priced selections today. Probably more hopeful than confident with our first choice Prince Of Light in the 5.20. Mark Johnston's charge has dropped so far down the weights since a very good effort iin the Zetland Cup. If anywhere near his best he would beat these. In the 4.20 Secret Night is another on a decent mark There were excuses for her last two defeats and on earlier season form she does hold strong claims. In teh 4.30 at beverley Shaloo Diamond could be the best bet. He was successful in a stronger race during the summer and will appreciate any cut in the ground.

A difficult day...

The feature race at Yarmouth is the 4.30 and Melodramatic has a chance in this wide open race. She ran third over this trip at Newbury on similar ground and the form has worked out well. The trip could be a valid excuse for her last two poor efforts. Jemimas Art in the 5.20 at Beverley is our other selection. She has disappointed a little, but her Newcastle victory in august reads very well and she could go close.

Good to be back

Sorry for th break but computer at home was knackered-should be okay now. Our first choice today in Invincible Force at Haydock. He is joint top-rated and has run some solid races this season. the ground shouldn't be a problem either. In the 4.20 at Lingfield we like the look of Anosti. He was a decent performer last season and looked on the way back last time out.

Back again....

The rain is making it diificult gain and so the main selection is at Fontweel where we do have decent ground. Woolfall Treasure should be a short price in the opener but on flat ratings he should be able to beat these. Gary Moore does well with lesser rated horses and the stable are flying at present. In the 4.10 Sister Agnes could certainly win this at her best. The ground can be the excuse for her last two efforts and if the rain stays away she could go well off a mark of 86. At Thirsk Windjammer is on a very tempting mark having been successful off 62 back in June. The ground is a slight concern, but he can't be ignored off this weight.

A decent card at Goodwood

And we have two selections at the Sussex track. In the opener we reckon Gary Moore's She's So Pretty should go close. Much better suited by this longer trip, she will appreciate the ground and is down to a winning mark. In the 4.20 Isabella Glyn should step up on her promising juvenile debut. She will like the trip and the ground should be ideal.

Modest racing today..

Although there is afascinating maiden at Lingfied, the 4.10. The Godolphin newcomer is nicely bred but so is Sans Frontieres. This expensive purchase has a string of big race entries and hails from a stable well known for getting them ready first time out. In the 5.20 at Hamilton Until When is our second selection. Bryan Smart's charge has been runninmg well since dropped back to this trip and this looks a weak affair.
