I will have a look on Friday for you, but generally front runners who are able to grab the rail do well.
Ok as promised 1.55 - very interesting 3 year old handicap in which we have lots of maiden form to consider, I would love Voodoo Prince to win (being the first foal of Ouija Board) but he probably will be short in the market and others have good claims too. Memorabilia may be very hard to pass if going in the customary Mark Johnston way (make all). I would have a saver on that one with a win bet on whichever of the maiden winners looks the nicest in the ring. 2.25 - Similar to the first race, its a 3 year old handicap which could have some very well handicapped horses in it, perhaps the most obvious would be Anoint who is from powerful connections (related to Penitent) and he is drawn low (key at Sandown). Wiqaaya is obviously of interest but I can't back Hills in a race like this. Tough handicap. 2.55 - Open age handicap, more form to go on and a more interesting race for me. The Confessor is the type of horse that Candy does so well with, and its normally hard for a horse at three to win as prolifically as he did. Candy knows how to get horses to progress with racing and I expect this one to be better than its mark this season, will it be on seasonal reappearance though? I like that its a front runner drawn low, if he gets out and grabs the rail he could be hard to pass here. If you want another that could be a price I would say Mahadee is potentially very interesting despite duck eggs next to his name. A repeat of his Doncaster 'win' performance would be very hard to beat. 3.30 Listed race for 3 year olds, and a fascinating sprint it is too, with Margot Did(n't) running again. She is a good enough horse to win a race like this, but I bet it finds more trouble than Joey Barton on a night out! Move In Time is a horse I have a lot of time for, and I think he is more than capable of winning this. I think Smart will ask the jockey to race him prominently and if he gets the rail he could be tough to beat. Night Carnation is the one they all have to beat though, whilst Dinkum Diamond is the typical Candy type and could easily be good enough. 4.05 A poor race by Sandown standards but Sharpened Edge goes for a follow up of his course and distance win last time out, he has the draw to do so here. The race revolves around him. I think he will win. 4.40 Maiden with some very big connections with runners, Polperro is the one they have to beat on form but most of these are open to a good deal of improvement. I wouldn't be betting in the race. 5.15 Lucky last over 1m6f where I really like Regal Park, this horse was drawn in the carpark at Chester and never got into the race, but that run should put him spot on for this race and I think he is open to a major amount of improvement. He is a dour stayer but also has some timefigures that suggest that he isn't as slow as he looks. I think he is the one to be with. Good luck and don't forget to have a few pints of TEA
Excellent, a promise well delivered. This is very helpful as I am pretty useless normally and haven't had a winner for a while. Fingers crossed for the weekend. Thanks again.
