Good Evening Folks
I know it is in advance but the declarations for Friday’s racing were out this morning and there is some decent action. Having perused then done the form on the 1 mile handicap at Doncaster, and with all books priced up, a horse I have been waiting for on soft ground goes in it and is below. Back late afternoon tomorrow with any further selections.
14:43 Doncaster
SIERRA BLANCA – 3/4 Pt EW @ 16/1 Bet365 & Will Hill boost 4 places, 14/1 & 12 4 places generally Skybet 12/1 5 places
A strapping 4 year old, he is the sort I like as he was very very promising as a 2 year old and they often go missing at 3. Soft ground at this time of year are the key to him and indeed, he thrashed the now 110 rated Sprewell at this time of year over 1 mile in his 2 year old season!! That horse was thought good enough to contest the Derby!
The yard had been in the wilderness but have hit excellent form of late which coincided with this horses best run of the campaign at Haydock LTO over this 1 mile trip. He was unlucky that day, staying on strongly after travelling then meeting trouble in running. He looks well drawn around the pace and this looks to have been the plan as Martyn Meade has ONLY run 4 horses in handicaps over C & D since 2019 and the last 3 ALL WON!! Although end of the flat season as I said Sunday and we can get strange results, this horse is fresher than most so at the value price well worth siding with IMO.
