One to bear in mind today in Nottinghams 4.20 is Loveage, who at 4/1 looks excellent value because I think he is almost too obviously well-handicapped and was an exceptionally unlucky loser at Lingfield last time, travelling all over them a long way out but never got the room to get in the clear and went 3rd at the line.
Over at Chantilly...
The Group Two fillies event (2.30) is a lovely little race and I'm taking on the favourite, Mashoora, who whilst impressive last time out with a cheeky victory, looks vulnerable in a battle. I fancy two horses to come very late on the scene- firstly Poupee Flash who has been steadily progressive until being beaten last time out, but I don't think there was enough pace on and in the end the race fell quite nicely for the winner, who is a smart Andre Fabre animal called DALKALA (watch out for this one through the season). Poupee Flash is a really well made animal, stays the trip, travels nicely and will be a big danger in a truly run race.
The other horse I think is way overpriced is ZANTENDA who I think has shaped with serious potential on more than one occasion. Disappointing in the French Guineas, she was dropped to 5f where she finished very strongly from the rear. That's the crucial point here- I expect a change of tactics from Olivier Peslier, who had her leading the Guineas before weakening, and I think she will come with a late rattle this time and can hopefully get right in the frame with Poupee Flash.
