One race down at Chester, where the ground looks on slow side of good. I thought Conundrum 3.00 had a decent chance, he drops back to 10f, having not quite getting home over 12f on his last two runs. He has ran well at the track, which is always a plus having experienced the tight turns. He likes to bowl along at the front end, and with only Torochina being the other confirmed front runner, who steps up 3f in trip, my selection way get his own way in front. At Doncaster Saroog 2.40 looks to have found a decent opportunity, he is improving and comes here full of confidence, having won his last two. Sprinter, A’Ali 3.45 looked very good over 5f, prior to his ok run over 6f. The drop back in trip to 5f today should be ideal, his first try racing on a faster surface, he has raced with cut in the ground so far, if he handles the fast ground ok, he is the one to beat.
It looks like being quick ground tomorrow for the final 3 year old ‘‘classic”, ground that will very likely not be ideal for Sir Dragonet.
More tomorrow.
