Some very testing ground at Sandown yesterday, the race I backed Whatswrongwithyou in, who ran well to be third, it finished with a very close finish between the first and second, with Mr Antolini, the winner causing interference to the second Call Me Lord, he bumped the second horse twice on the run to the line, with only a neck separating the two at the post. Mr Antolini’s jockey had his whip in the wrong hand, allowing his horse to impede the second, a reversal of the front two should of happened, how the winner was allowed to keep the race was a complete mystery !
Todays free tip is as follows:
Horse: First Drift
Time: 2.00 Market Rasen
Current Odds: 15/8
A winner last time at Doncaster, where he rallied to win. I think he could just shade it here with his riders 5lb claim off his back, he will act on the ground, although both him and the favourite would prefer drier conditions. His jockey knows him well and in a race that should concern the front two in the betting , I think he can get the better of Ballyvic Boru. Others to consider are Sizing Cosmino who has shown ability, he will win races, but may be more of a horse for handicaps in the future.
