Evening folks
Old friend Madame De Sevigne goes in the last at Newmarket tomorrow, the C & D she did us a nice turn over but this is a tougher race against geldings and although I expect her to go very well, there wasn’t much juice in her price so with that, just the two further selections are below. That’s all for Saturday’s action.
3:05 Ayr
DANCE THIEF – 3/4 Pt Win @ 9/1 888Sport, 17/2 generally
Should be all the straighter for his recent return and loves this C & D. He comes up against some unknown Novices but I prefer proven handicap form all day over sexy, guesswork types that are always over bet. Trainer & jockey son combo have a great record at Ayr of 4 winners from 10, 7 placers which is 3 from their last 5 when teaming up together. Has gone well in higher grades and on form & RPR’s should go close but with just the 2 places on offer, even though a tough race, win only was the play for me?
2:17 Newmarket
MYTHICAL GUEST – 1/2 Pt EW @ 20/1 Bet365, 12/1 generally (quite a few books slow to price so could get bigger)
Another smooth traveller, this drop back to a mile looks a good move and he has gone mighty close, although on the July course, here at that distance. I have him way clear on my unique ratings in nearly every run and lots of these have serious questions to answer on the faster ground, up significantly in Grade. Still a 4 year old, he could have more to give especially dropping in the ratings and No way IMO should he be the outsider of this field so at another value price worth siding with.
