I’M MARCHING ON
⭕ 2.13 Sandown A busy eight race card in Esher this afternoon with the first three races over the five furlong course in the centre field.
The mare Betties Bay is in a rich vein of form notching up four wins in a row (three on the all-weather) before going down by just a neck at the hands of Novello Lad at Doncaster over six furlongs a week ago.
Off the same mark and in the same grade she is an obvious starting point here but I’m thinking six furlongs is her ideal trip and she might just be taken off her feet in this company.
I’ll stay loyal with Marching Mac despite getting beaten when I tipped her at Windsor on Monday. In the context of this race he is worth another chance given he drops a grade, drops 3lb and ran well enough when third at Windsor to suggest another big run is likely from stall one here.
Lequinto is his next door neighbour in stall 2 but despite recent consistency the bulk of his CV is at a lower level and he’s more of a Windsor specialist.
I also want to include Kiss And Run who was a neck second to Lequinto at Windsor and has chances of reversing that form on one pound better terms and with Oisin Murphy in the saddle.
DANGER AHEAD
⭕ 3.23 Sandown Even with two defections it’s still a huge field to solve on Betdaq Betting Exchange.
Dangerman looked in need of the race when fourth on his reappearance (after a 200 day break) at Epsom in a class 2 and will find this company easier over a course he has a great record at (113).
Alcarath was heading the morning market and he looks on a winning mark after good efforts this season at Newmarket (5th) and Newbury (4th). He’s dangerous when getting in front as he showed in devastating style at Epsom last year when winning by eight and half lengths with 12 lengths back to the third !
KING TO RULE
⭕ 5.08 Sandown The longest race of the day and also the smallest field.
King Of Berkshire has the burden of 10st 1lb but looks set to do even better now stepped up in trip. He made all to win well at Thirsk last week and the resulting 6lb penalty might not even touch the sides with him in that kind of form.
Heroics looks the danger if handling the 1m 6f which is up for question judged on his latest run at York.
