A good winner yesterday for my subscribers.  Now Look At Me was advised at 6/5 yesterday morning, he was an easy winner of the 2.45 Uttoxeter.

I also gave followers my idea on who they all had to beat in the 2000 Guineas, Magna Grecia was a good winner, some each way return for Madhmoon,  as I backed him each way at 20/1, a few firms paid out on first 4, he was running on well when meeting the rising ground, a solid run to finish fourth, having been drawn the worst of the field in stall 1. The interview by Aiden O’Brian after his winner Magna Grecia, was that he will likely miss the Derby, and stay at 1 Mile for the moment.  The Ballydoyle camp have current favourite for the Derby in “Japan”, who looked very useful last year, he could well be their number one choice.  Broome is another possible runner for them. I expect both horses to run in a trial over the next week or two, and then connections will decide.

Todays main race at Newmarket is the fillies classic the 1,000 Guineas at 3.35.  I was really impressed with Qabala when she won her trial at Newmarket, the Nell Gwyn Stakes. She was strong at the line that day, and looked very useful.  If her young jockey David Egan keeps a cool head, I think she can win, Egan rides very well, this is his first ride in a 1,000 Guineas, so a lot of pressure on his young shoulders.

At Hamilton where hopefully the showers of rain stay away.  Semoum runs for a new trainer today at 2.05, he was transferred to Roger Varian when George Peckham retired from training at the start of the year, due to his employer “pulling the plug” and deciding to sell his stables in Newmarket.  The step back to 5f, from mainly racing over 6f as a two year old, should not be a major issue.  I think he has a good chance of giving odds on favourite Deputise a race.

More later.
