I will also add a few notes and then I will leave it up to individuals if they want to take an interest. If you decide to get involved then please keep stakes sensible. Horses are not machines and they can run badly for no apparent reason.
I will try and give positive and negative comments on each horse so that there is a fair view.
Beverley 14:50 Texas Queen. This is a horse to keep an eye on although I think this will need to be a double figure price for me to get involved. Tends to race up with the pace so for you BTL guys it may offer a chance. This horse needs fast turf or the Polytrack. The wins have only come on the latter but there is no reason why this horse cannot win on fast turf. I just feel this horse will put his head in front soon and it will be at a decent price.
Beverley 15:50 Summer Dancer Again I just hope the ground is fast and hopefully the sun is shining. This horse seems to like the sun on his back so he is aptly named. On his comeback run at Musselburgh he missed the break, he was never put in the race and he raced on the wrong side. Apart from that and the fact his jockey gave him an easy run round he did well
Watch the ground and look for the sun...this horse will win soon and he'll be a decent price.Kempton 16:00 Grand Vizier This horse loves Polytrack but he looked a bit reluctant last time he ran. That was unlike him so I am prepared to give him another chance. I watched the video of his last race and something also struck me. This is just my view and I could be totally wrong but his jockey seemed to be making too much effort to make it look like he was trying. I know that may seem strange but basically he seemed to be pulling with one hand and pushing with the other so the horse was getting mixed messages. I've seen it before and so I hope I am correct. This horse will be close to 20 on Betfair (I hope) so a small investment could be rewarded handsomely if this horse runs to form. This horse looks to have turned sour - he was never travelling and I will need to try and find out what is wrong with him. He had his head up in the air and looked very reluctant to race
Chepstow 18:05 Piazza San Pietro Just keep an eye on this horse with a view to trading it pre-race. The reason I say this is my worry is the ground. I feel this horse needs faster ground and Chepstow has seen plenty of rain lately. There was plenty of money for this horse when he last ran at Bath but when the jockey couldn't get a run he accepted it and came home in his own time. This horse was probably fancied that day so we have to hope he is still fit and well. Just watch for the money and hope to grab a move in. If the money doesn't come because the ground does turn out slow then you should catch a drift because they'll be keeping their money for another day.
I have a few more horses but I need to do some more research.........when this bloody headache has subsided!
