Strong fields today at most of the race meetings. At Nottingham the ground is soft, the 4.45 is really good race.  Ojooba was a good winner at the track on her last run.  She is by Dubawi, so should be ok on the soft/heavy  ground today, it was good to soft when she won, she really enjoyed the step up to 10f that day.  You could make a case for the majority of fillies, Red Hot will cope on the ground and is improving, of the others Birdcage Walk is another with strong form, she should be ok on the ground as well.  It’s tough to decide on one of them, Ojooba would be my marginal preference.

Ghaly looks to have a fairly straightforward task at 3.05, he is improving with racing, and his task has been made easier with the withdrawal of Casanova.  At Thirsk, where rain showers are forecast, True Romance 8.05 was a very easy winner last time, with similar ground conditions and the same rider today in Graham Lee, I would expect this gelding to win again.  Some good racing tomorrow, and the York meeting next week is always a good one, the entries for the big group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes on Wednesday, has Crystal Ocean heading the betting market, Enable is entered, but rumours are she will likely miss the race.  It will still be a good race if she does not run, although Crystal Ocean is currently still rated higher than anything entered, and will be hard to beat. At Yarmouth yesterday, the Godolphin trainer Al Suhail was a cosy winner, not too sure if he beat much, but he really quickened up like a useful colt, his biggest obstacle could be himself, as he wears a hood and looks highly strung, it must run in the family, as his half brother Telecaster is very talented, but looks to be highly strung as well.
