Morning, you types. Cor blimey liven up a bit. It’s Christmas!
I really would be surprised if CAJUN FIDDLE didn’t oblige in the ‘lucky last’ at Towcester this afternoon (3.40). I tipped the old girl up on debut and she ran a race full of promise to be 2nd ‘ooooooooooooooooop’ at Wetherby (13 lengths clear of the 3rd that day). With that experience behind her Cajun Fiddle really should be hard to beat in this heat. Alan King also knows what is required to lift the race as he obliged in the corresponding contest 12 months ago. The old boy is also in decent form with 4 winners in the past 6 days. Cajun Fiddle is rated a very nice filly and by ‘stumps’ this term should be competing for ‘black type’ honours – something she was set to do on debut, at Cheltenham’s ‘Open’ meeting, before being withdrawn after having a bit of a tumble in the old paddock. That is testament to how highly the barn rate her as Alan King doesn’t pitch them in at this level, on debut, unless he rates ‘em. The slight worry has to be that the ‘reincarnation of Pegasus’ is lurking amongst the unraced types but that is a risk you always have to take in such events.
Good luck all.
