Good Afternoon folks
A Selection for Thursday below. Possibly more to follow later.
4:45 Newmarket
LADY ROXBY – 3/4 Point E.W @ 6/1 Paddy Power 4 places, 11/2 4 places Skybet
Has caught the eye of late and finished like a rocket at York when narrowly beaten by a rival now rated 94. She goes off just 82 here and this 6 furlong trip with a stiff finish promises to suit admirably. In fact, her last win was a romp at Beverley which has the same stiff finish uphill finish. Jack Mitchell is unlucky not to be unbeaten on her from just 2 rides to date (again finished strongly last time on a flatter track short headed) so I like the fact he rides again here and has an eye-catching, since Nov 2023, 33% Win SR in handicaps for the yard. The stalls are positioned on the stands rail for this Day so high draws are usually favoured (who knows nowadays?) and with a lot of early pace pushers in this, I envisage a strong pace to chase and want that she tracks that pace from a nice looking berth in stall 9 before finishing off in her customary fashion to with hopefully a smooth passage through to land the spoils.
