Race 1: 01:02 +1d Lone Star Race 2 - Maiden Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(9) Free Drop Gypsy | | | | | 4 | Iram Diego | Cesar Govea | Yet to place in eight starts. Beaten 17l behind Megan's Miss at 8-1 when eighth of 10 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Difficult to make a case for her. |
2nd (7) Sarah P | | | | | 6 | Jose Alvarez | Danny Pish | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 17l behind Craftroom at 11-2 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Delta Downs over 6f in February. Needs to improve. |
4th (5) Early Spring | | | | | 3 | Gerardo Mora | Allen Dupuy | Unplaced in all six starts. Well beaten at 6-1 behind She's Candified when fifth of 6 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. Faces a tough assignment. |

(8) Ruby Soho | | | | | 4 | Elvin Gonzalez | J Caldwell | Placed once in six starts. Third of 6 behind Highlander's Edge beaten 8l at 16-5 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) last month. Not without a chance. |
(2) Doc's Bud | | | | | 5 | Stewart Elliott | Mindy Willis | Placed in three of five starts. Third of 10 behind Megan's Miss beaten 6l at 5-2fav on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Capable of being in the mix. |
1st (1) Cream Puff Reaper | | | | | 3 | David Cabrera | Miguel Silva | Placed twice in ten starts. Beaten 4l by She's Candified when second of 6 at 14-5 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. The one to side with. |
3rd (4) High Caliber Catch | | | | | 3 | Rene Diaz | J Caldwell | Placed twice in nine starts. Third of 6 behind She's Candified beaten 5l at 13-10fav on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. Has to be respected. |
CREAM PUFF REAPER has stepped forward on her latest outings and a first win may not be too far away. The main threats are likely to be High Caliber Catch and Doc's Bud.
Race 2: 01:02 +1d Charles Town Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight - All Charles Town Races
(3) Mash Taters | | | | | 3 | Marshall Mendez | Michael Jones | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 10l behind Bull's Legacy at 18-1 when seventh of eight on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f earlier this month. Hard to fancy. |
(1) Queen Sabine | | | | | 3 | Juan Nunez | Javier Contreras | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 10l behind Roman Candle when sixth of nine at 20-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f in January. Has a bit to find. |
4th (5) Shotgun Margaret | | | | | 3 | Gustavo Larrosa | John Shuler | Yet to place in six starts. Finished 12l behind Thelastsay when fourth of seven at 40-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 7f in February. Opposable. |
2nd (8) Ghostly Anna | | | | | 3 | Carlos Lopez | William Atkins | Placed in three of eight starts. Beaten 1 1/2l by Cut Him Loose when second of six at 5-2 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f (good) last month. A leading contender. |
(7) Quinn Elia | | | | | 3 | Christian Hiraldo | Raimondo Schiano-Dicola | Placed in three of seven starts. Third of six behind Cut Him Loose beaten 2 1/2l at 13-5 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f (good) last month. Entitled to be thereabouts. |
(2) Unite The Girls | | | | | 3 | Reshawn Latchman | Cynthia McKee | Placed once in four starts. Third of eight behind dead-heaters Margarita Sunset and Symptomatic beaten 1/2l at 5-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Could make the frame. |
1st (9) Lady Rambo | | | | | 3 | Arnaldo Bocachica | Stephen Murdock | Half-sister to Math Man Marco, won seven times at 4f. Finished 2 1/4l behind dead-heaters Margarita Sunset and Symptomatic when fifth of eight at 14-5jt-fav on her racecourse debut at Charles Town over 4f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today. Work to do. |
3rd (6) Aim's Redirect | | | | | 3 | Denis Araujo | Stephen Reggetts | Half-sister to Sister Aim, won seven times at 4f and 6f. Beaten a neck by Bull's Legacy when second of eight at 19-2 on her racecourse debut at Charles Town over 4f earlier this month. Sets the standard. |
(4) Full Of Charm | | | | | 3 | Larry Reynolds | Timothy Grams | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 10l behind Mama Marge when sixth of 10 at 25-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f in July last year. A minor role awaits. |
AIM'S REDIRECT gave every indication that she would be suited by a step up in trip when staying on strongly in second on her debut here earlier in the month. Ghostly Anna and Quinn Elia are likely to be thereabouts too.
Race 3: 01:15 +1d Santa Anita Race 9 - Starter Allowance - All Santa Anita Races
5th (2) Yolo Calls | | | | | 5 | Edwin Maldonado | P Eurton | She has won three times at 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 3-1 at Santa Anita over 6f (good) on her latest outing in February, beating Dendera by 1/2l. Can follow up. |
(1) Woodbine Way | | | | | 6 | Tyler Baze | Steven Miyadi | She has won three times from 5f to 7f on good ground and on the all-weather, but last win was over two years ago. Third of seven behind Chasingserendipity beaten 3 1/2l at 14-5 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) in January. Having her first run for a new stable today. Improvement required. |
(5) Unwritten Code | | | | | 5 | Diego Herrera | Jorge Periban | Winner of seven races from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of six behind Phenom beaten 1/2l at 7-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 5f (good) last month. Appears held on that form. |

1st (7) Rebalation | | | | | 8 | Geovanni Franco | Librado Barocio | Has won eight races from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Won on her latest outing when 6-5fav at Golden Gate Fields over 6f last month, beating Tessa by 2 1/2l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Tim McCanna. Another good run can be expected. |
2nd (4) Phenom | | | | | 5 | Antonio Fresu | Doug O'Neill | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f on good ground. Won on her latest outing when 1-2fav at Santa Anita over 5f (good) last month, beating Paleo's Princess by a neck. Holds every chance. |
YOLO CALLS has been in excellent form of late and the drop in trip should not inconvenience as she looks to make it three wins in her last four starts. That may be at the main expense of old rivals Paleo's Princess and Phenom.
Race 4: 01:29 +1d Lone Star Race 3 - Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(6) Mayapretty | | | | | 7 | Alfredo Contreras | Juan Ascencio | She has won four times from 7f to 1m, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 13l behind Cato's Lady at 25-1 when last of 9 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f earlier this month. Best watched. |
1st (5) Gangster Rap | | | | | 5 | Jermaine Bridgmohan | Tina Hurley | Winner of five races from 5f to 1m. Finished 8l behind Soaring Lady when sixth of 7 at 20-1 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. One to avoid. |

Finished 9l behind Cato's Lady when fifth of 9 at 33-10 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f earlier this month.

2nd (4) Misty Cat | | | | | 6 | Franklin Ceballos | Donna Hjort | Winner of five races at 1m. Finished 10l behind Desert Glow when sixth of 11 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) in February. Likely to be competitive. |

SIMPLE PLEASURE has been performing with credit in recent months and gets the vote in what looks to be a winnable contest on paper. Whats Up Sweets and Misty Cat head the remainder.

4th (8) Fortunata Italia | | | | | 5 | Orlando Bocachica | Crystal Pickett | She has won three times from 4f to 6f. Finished 7l behind Tilted Tiara when sixth of 9 at 45-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Easier to side with others. |

2nd (4) Emberly | | | | | 5 | Marshall Mendez | Miguel Ramos | She has won four times from 4f to 6f. Finished 6l behind Arrowwood when fourth of 6 at 11-5 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 7f earlier this month. Others look stronger. |
(6) Nighttime Justice | | | | | 7 | J Acosta | Kevin Joy | Winner of six races from 5f to 1m. Finished 7l behind On A Tour when fifth of 9 at 17-5 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Andrew McKeever. Unlikely to trouble her rivals. |
(2) Ride The Rapids | | | | | 4 | Carlos Lopez | Ronney Brown | Winner of five races from 6f to 1m. Third of 9 behind Tilted Tiara beaten 5l at 15-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Consistent enough to play a hand. |
3rd (3) Flat Discount | | | | | 7 | Christian Hiraldo | Raymond Ginter | Has won ten races from 5f to 6f. Finished 7l behind Tilted Tiara when fifth of 9 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Place claims. |
1st (1) Golden Eib Micrphn | | | | | 5 | Arnaldo Bocachica | Timothy Kreiser | Winner of six races from 5f to 6f. Finished behind Utterly Enchanting when fourth of 7 at 13-10fav on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f last month. Should go well. |

RIDE THE RAPIDS has hit the frame the last twice over track and trip and she can be rewarded for her consistency on this occasion. Golden Eib Micrphn and Luckbealadytonight are others to watch out for.
Race 6: 01:50 Fukushima Maiden Race JPN 5f 158y - All Fukushima Races
3rd (7) Across The Seas | | | | | 2 | Naho Furukawa | Mitsunori Makiura | Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Picked up some ground to run 5th last time at Kyoto. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Appears tested. |
1st (1) Lord Relation | | | | | 2 | Koji Nishizuka | Yasuyuki Tsujino | First up from a spell. Knocked up late when 6th last run at Kyoto and has drawn the rails. Shows good early pace. Dropping in distance. Worth a lot of thought in this race. |
2nd (12) Tamamo Altair | | | | | 2 | Shota Kobayashi | Takahiro Mizuno | Honest race when 3rd last run at Nakayama. Should not be far away. |
(2) Pontoise | | | | | 2 | Hiro Oehara | Takafumi Aoki | Weakened to finish 16th last start at Nakayama but having second career run. Can find a nice position from the draw. Down in trip. Hard to see this being good enough. |
(3) Wonderful Tateyama | | | | | 2 | Kiwamu Ogino | Kazuhiro Kato | Unsatisfactory performance when 16th last start at Nakayama but having second race start. Very difficult to back. |
(4) T O Dia | | | | | 2 | Kaito Kawabata | Tomoyuki Umeda | First up after a break. Started $201.00 and below par when 13th last time at Kyoto and back to a shorter distance. Expected to settle towards the tail. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge. |
(5) A Mi Manera | | | | | 2 | Kaito Otsuka | Kazuhiro Seishi | 3yo debutant sired by Best Warrior. Keep your eye on the market. |
(6) Gyunyu | | | | | 2 | Hatsuya Kowata | Masashi Fukayama | Third run back from a break. Started $151.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 11th last time at Nakayama and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Making up the numbers. |
(8) Two M Pixiu | | | | | 2 | Yamato Tsunoda | Masaru Honda | Second up. Was $81.00 and finished 10th last start at Hanshin. Pass at this stage. |
(9) King Profit | | | | | 2 | Takuro Ishida | Koichi Shinkai | Second run back from a break. Unimpressive effort when 18th last start at Kokura. Likely to settle back in the field. Can't suggest backing. |
(10) Buffalo Rise | | | | | 2 | Miku Kobayashi | Keizo Ito | Outmuscled when 5th last run at Nakayama and dropping weight. Should muster plenty of early toe. Possible place chance. |
(11) Poppin | | | | | 2 | Fukamichi Ishigami | Shoichiro Wada | Second up this prep. Came in 11th last time at Nakayama. Needs to find a lot more. |
(13) Rainbow Topaz | | | | | 2 | Genki Mizunuma | Tatsuhiko Ishikuri | Third run back from a spell. At $201.00 only fair when 13th last time at Kokura. May find these too slick. |
(14) Lux Alm | | | | | 2 | Katsuma Sameshima | Ryou Takahashi | Second run this preparation. Odds of $51.00 and faded away when 8th last start at Kokura. Can't back with any confidence. |
(15) Tendresse | | | | | 2 | Manami Nagashima | Naohiro Yoshida | On debut 3yo by Danon Legend. Watch the betting. |
(16) Wide Jai Kiri | | | | | 2 | Riki Takasugi | Kenichi Fujioka | Second up from a break. Odds of $31.00 and didn't threaten when 13th last run at Kokura. Too much luck needed to come into contention. |
Race 7: 01:56 +1d Lone Star Race 4 - Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(2) Eye Of The Panthor | | | | | 5 | Franklin Ceballos | Paul Pearson | A winner at 5f. Well beaten at 13-1 behind Midnight Rules when last of four on his latest outing at Prairie Meadows over 1m in September last year. Has it all to do. |
(1) Baffin's Best Shot | | | | | 3 | Obed Sanchez | Wayne George | A winner at 12-1 at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f on his latest outing last month, beating Rusty Gadget by 3 1/2l. This is more demanding. |
(7) American Warrior | | | | | 3 | Elvin Gonzalez | H Ashford Jr | A winner at 5f. Beaten 4 1/2l behind Clay's Black Opal at 11-1 when ninth of 10 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) last month. Work to do. |
3rd (5) Grazen Boy | | | | | 3 | Rene Diaz | Dick Cappellucci | A winner at 14-5 at Sunland Park over 6f on his latest outing in January, beating Northern Cocktail by 4l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Sal Gonzalez. Others are preferred. |
2nd (4) Blocked | | | | | 4 | Jose Alvarez | Shawn Davis | A winner at 5f. Beaten 17l behind Spoiler at 28-1 when ninth of 10 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Can get involved. |
1st (6) Take Action | | | | | 5 | Harry Hernandez | Robertino Diodoro | A winner at 5f. Finished 2 1/2l behind Fifty Cinco when fifth of eight at 9-2 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Richard Mandella. Holds strong claims. |
4th (3) Kells Bells | | | | | 4 | Stewart Elliott | Steven Asmussen | A winner at 5f. Finished 4l behind Malibu S S when sixth of 11 at 13-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f in February. The one to side with. |
Dropping back in trip could work the oracle for KELL'S BELLS as he looks to notch up a first success since last April. Blocked and Take Action can follow the selection home.
Race 8: 02:00 Kyoto Maiden Race JPN 6f 211y - All Kyoto Races
2nd (15) Reimu | | | | | 2 | Manabu Sakai | Yasuyuki Takahashi | Ran 4th last run at Hanshin. Has not placed in 6 attempts this preparation. Some hope in this event. |
3rd (1) Berenice | | | | | 2 | Kenichi Ikezoe | Hidenori Take | Faded late when 4th last time at Hanshin and will appreciate a good alley. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Back to a shorter distance. Not hopeless. |
1st (12) Run Run Girl | | | | | 2 | Seina Imamura | Ryou Terashima | Just missed last start at Hanshin and solid career start. Will be positive in the run early. Has run into the money all attempts this preparation. Winning chance. |
(2) Butterfly Lock | | | | | 2 | Ryoya Kozaki | Koichi Shintani | Resuming after a break. Weakened to finish 9th last time at Kokura but will try to take advantage of the gate. Down in trip. Looking at others. |
(3) Prasentier | | | | | 2 | Yusuke Fujioka | Katsunori Tanaka | Career debut 3yo by Majestic Warrior. Respect the betting. |
(4) Tamamo Opera | | | | | 2 | Fuma Matsuwaka | Hiroki Kawashima | 3yo by Sinister Minister having first start. Betting as a guide. |
(5) Circe Rosso | | | | | 2 | Yuichiro Shibata | Akira Murayama | Below standard effort when 12th last run at Hanshin. Likely to get back in the field. Needs a lot of luck. |
(6) Be Love There | | | | | 2 | Atsuya Nishimura | Shinya Kobayashi | Fresh from a break. Came in 7th last run at the track. Facing a difficult task today. |
(7) Le Beau Temps | | | | | 2 | Ryuji Wada | Naohiro Yoshida | Third run back from a spell. Clearly outclassed when 13th last start at Hanshin. Could not recommend. |
(8) Epipha D'or | | | | | 2 | Yutaka Take | Mamoru Ishibashi | Third up. Was $7.00 and closed off nicely when 5th last run at Hanshin but dropping in distance. Sound chance. |
(9) Anri Baby | | | | | 2 | Taisei Danno | Taiki Chaki | Having second run back from a break. Gave away some ground when 9th last time at Hanshin and will be down in distance. Coming to a new trainer. Very slim hope. |
(10) Wonder Alegria | | | | | 2 | Kanta Taguchi | Naoyuki Morita | Resuming after a spell. Lost ground in the run home when 13th last run at Hanshin but having second race start. Very weak selection. |
(11) Piccolina | | | | | 2 | Hideaki Miyuki | Yoshiaki Sugiyama | Having first start 3yo by Dunkirk. Watch for a sign in the market. |
(13) Pleasant Wind | | | | | 2 | Seinosuke Yoshimura | Ken Kozaki | Fresh after a break. Didn't find the line when 11th last start at Kokura. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Can't entertain. |
(14) Wispy Snow | | | | | 2 | Taiga Tsunoda | Teiichi Konno | Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at Hanshin. Can't entertain a bet. |
(16) La Chance Sourit | | | | | 2 | Nana Kawaharada | Kunihiko Watanabe | Racing as a debutant 3yo by Cheval Grand. Market as guide. |
Race 9: 02:02 +1d Charles Town Race 5 - Claiming - All Charles Town Races
(7) Smokin Smitty | | | | | 4 | Connie McKenzie | Larry Campbell | A winner at 4f. Finished 9l behind Run To Daylight when fourth of 8 at 45-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f earlier this month. A place is the best he can hope for. |
4th (4) Air Kenney | | | | | 4 | Orlando Bocachica | Timothy Shanley | A winner at 4f. Finished 10l behind Moonset when sixth of 7 at 33-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Needs to bounce back. |
(2) Mo Eh Hennessy | | | | | 4 | Christian Hiraldo | Keith Brown | A winner at 4f. Finished 7l behind Moonset when fifth of 7 at 40-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Others might have his measure. |
(3) Glenholme | | | | | 4 | Andres Chavez | Raul Garrido | A winner at 1m. Well beaten at 15-2 behind Humpty Grumpty when last of 6 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 7f last month. Needs to put that effort behind him. |
(8) Tizafastbullet | | | | | 3 | Reshawn Latchman | David Walters | Won on his latest outing when 17-10fav at Charles Town over 4f last month, beating Coolkid by 3 1/2l. Holds an obvious chance. |
(10) Money Mac | | | | | 4 | Gustavo Larrosa | Marshall Campbell | Won on his latest outing when 7-10fav at Charles Town over 4f last month, beating East To Beast by 12l. Expected to be bang there. |
3rd (5) Akito | | | | | 4 | Angel Cruz | Anthony Farrior | A winner at 6f. Third of 6 behind El Bandido beaten at 11-5 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f last month. One to be interested in. |
1st (6) Boss Holiday | | | | | 4 | J Acosta | Amy Albright | A winner at 5f. Beaten a head by Wicked Irishman when second of 7 at 7-5fav on his latest outing at Penn National over 6f last month. Warrants plenty of respect. |
(1) Doctor Jerry | | | | | 4 | Carlos Lopez | Ronney Brown | A winner at 6f. Beaten 1 1/2l by Ruffner when second of 7 at 9-10fav on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ollie III Figgins. Could make his presence felt. |
2nd (9) Landon Jack | | | | | 4 | Arnaldo Bocachica | Anthony Farrior | A winner at 5f. Third of 7 behind Moonset beaten 4l at 11-10fav on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. More is needed. |
(11) Thank Ya Pete | | | | | 4 | Wesley Ho | Susan Cooney | A winner at 5f. Finished 12l behind Here And Nofurther when fifth of 8 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Timonium over 6f in August last year. Reserve. |
MONEY MAC hacked up by 12 lengths in this grade over C&D last time and he looks difficult to oppose. Landon Jack and Tizafastbullet can give him the most to think about.
Race 10: 02:10 Tokyo Maiden Race JPN 7f 210y - All Tokyo Races
2nd (14) Loulou Feuille | | | | | 2 | Hiroshi Kitamura | Daishi Itou | Third up from a break. Ran on into 5th last time at Nakayama. Displays good closing speed. Modest contender. |
3rd (6) Gran Saucier | | | | | 2 | Yutaka Yoshida | Tsuyoshi Tanaka | Third up from a spell. Was $20.00 and came in 6th last start at Nakayama. Capable of bouncing back. Best to watch and see. |
1st (15) Fuino Majiwari | | | | | 2 | Hironobu Tanabe | Masahiro Takeuchi | Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Hit the line well when 3rd last time at this venue. Solid claims. |
(1) Alskar | | | | | 2 | Junji Iwabe | Tadashige Nakagawa | Career debut 3yo by Dee Majesty and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Keep your eye on the market. |
(2) Bravery | | | | | 2 | Yutaro Nonaka | Yoichi Kuroiwa | Back after a spell. Finished 10th last run around here but having second career run. Has a positive barrier. Won't find this easy. |
(3) Yukino Furumachi | | | | | 2 | Yusuke Hara | Eiichi Yano | Looked outclassed when 11th last start at Chukyo but going over extra ground. A long shot. |
(4) Curl Maji | | | | | 2 | Ko Nagahama | Kazuo Konishi | Weakened under pressure when 11th last time at Nakayama. Could be in the mix. |
(5) Garden Planner | | | | | 2 | Daisuke Sasaki | Takeshi Horiuchi | Second up and claimed late when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L second up last preparation around here. Back to an increased distance. This won't be easy. |
(7) La Ina Sherry | | | | | 2 | Ryuusei Sakai | Shigenobu Isaka | Resuming after a break. Tailed off to finish 5th last time at Kyoto. Best to watch only. |
(8) Moose Tesoro | | | | | 2 | Takuya Kowata | Yasuo Takeichi | First up from a break. Moderate showing when 14th last start at this track. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish. |
(9) Ci Belle Queue Na | | | | | 2 | Takuya Ono | Hiroyuki Uehara | Second up from a spell. Started $501.00 and disappointing display when 15th last run at Nakayama and back to a shorter distance. Likely to get back in the run. Cannot make a case for. |
(10) Cape Agulhas | | | | | 2 | Takuma Itou | Takashi Kanari | Second up from a break. Good performance to run into 2nd last time at Nakayama and facing a rise in trip. Very unlikely to cause an upset. |
(11) Karen Tact | | | | | 2 | Kosei Miura | Yasuhito Tamura | Having second run back from a break. Tidy run when 3rd last time at Urawa. Should muster plenty of early speed. Looks too tough. |
(12) Vaseux Reine | | | | | 2 | Kazuo Yokoyama | Takayuki Katou | Narrowly beaten last start at Chukyo. Place chance. |
(13) Seiun Dakishimete | | | | | 2 | Takezo Nagano | Minoru Tsuchida | Third up and good performance to run into 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L third up last preparation here. Hard to see this being good enough. |

3rd (10) Three Tiger | | | | | 2 | Naho Furukawa | Yoshitada Takahashi | Back from a break. Sub-standard effort when 7th last run at Himeji and coming back in distance. Shows good closing speed. Watch the betting. |
1st (4) Guilty Pleasure | | | | | 2 | Mirai Iwata | Ryou Terashima | Resumes after a break. Didn't attack the line when 12th last time at Kyoto. Can show a better performance this time. Low-key chance. |
2nd (1) Bear Go Go | | | | | 2 | Masami Matsuoka | Hiroaki Sugiura | Second up and missed by a narrow margin second up last preparation at Sapporo. Expecting to settle positively. Will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Capable contender and should be in the finish. |
(2) Big Answer | | | | | 2 | Yuji Hishida | Kazuya Makita | Resuming after a spell. At $34.00 folded up in the straight when 17th last run at Kokura but gets a favourable barrier. Too much luck needed to come into contention. |
(3) Tequila Waltz | | | | | 2 | Koji Nishizuka | Hiroyuki Oneda | Resuming after a break. Tired towards the finish when 6th last run at Kokura. Much prefer the look of others in this race. |
(5) Jaune Carrera | | | | | 2 | Shota Kobayashi | Jiro Ono | First up from a break. Gave away some ground when 16th last time at Tokyo. Could not recommend. |
(6) Lucky Yasu | | | | | 2 | Miku Kobayashi | Nobuhiro Suzuki | First race start 3yo by Cheval Grand. Watch the market moves. |
(7) Wide Etoile | | | | | 2 | Riki Takasugi | Kenichi Fujioka | First up after a break. Started at $5.00 and folded up in the straight when 11th last run at Tokyo but fitter for debut run. Back in trip. Significant improvement required. |
(8) Red Mare | | | | | 2 | Hiroki Matsumoto | Kensuke Ogura | First up from a spell. Couldn't maintain the pace when 10th last start at Kyoto and will be dropping in distance. First appearance for a new trainer. Others make far more appeal. |
(9) Dante's Seven | | | | | 2 | Kaito Kawabata | Tsutomu Ogata | Fresh today. Tailed off to finish 10th last time at Kokura. Can't entertain a bet. |
(11) Caramel Milk | | | | | 2 | Ryuichi Sugahara | Yoshikatsu Satou | Third up from a spell. At $301.00 faded away to finish 10th last start at Nakayama and dropping in distance. Needs to find a lot more. |
(12) Impulse | | | | | 2 | Akatsuki Tomita | Tamio Hamada | First up. Couldn't stay in touch when 13th last start at Kyoto. Can't have. |
(13) Siegfried | | | | | 2 | Yuji Tannai | Keizo Ito | First race appearance 3yo by Raven'S Pass. Betting as a guide. |
(14) Keep The Nugget | | | | | 2 | Genki Mizunuma | Shinobu Homma | First up today. Jumped at $501.00 and struggled with the pace when 13th last time at Nakayama. Likely to get back in the field. Hard to entertain. |
(15) Une Brise | | | | | 2 | Akira Sugawara | Hidekatsu Shimizu | Second up from a spell. Got tired late when 5th last run here. Expected to settle towards the tail. Looks hopeful at best. |
(16) Sound Evoke | | | | | 2 | Katsuma Sameshima | Daisuke Takayanagi | First run back from a break. Started at $14.00 and didn't attack the line when 13th last start at Kyoto but was on debut last time. Rather have another day. |

4th (1) Brucelea | | | | | 5 | David Cabrera | Karen Jacks | Successful twice at 5f on good ground. Beaten a neck by Phantom Ride when second of nine at 14-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Needs considering. |
2nd (8) Prince Lancelot | | | | | 6 | Harry Hernandez | Dick Cappellucci | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f on good to soft and heavy ground. Third of seven behind Kennebec beaten 2 1/2l at 19-5 on his latest outing at Turf Paradise over 1m (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Justin Evans. Unlikely to trouble the principals. |
(10) Whiskey Not Wine | | | | | 6 | Leandro Goncalves | Mindy Willis | He has won four times from 7f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of nine behind Phantom Ride beaten 3/4l at 17-4 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Another with claims. |

1st (5) Don'Task Don'Ttell | | | | | 10 | Iram Diego | Carlos Padilla | Has won 20 races from 7f to 1m 6f on firm and good ground. A winner at 14-5 at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) on his latest outing in February, beating Seductive U S A by 1l. Entitled to be thereabouts. |
3rd (2) Spoiler | | | | | 4 | Stewart Elliott | Steven Asmussen | He has won three times from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 16-10fav at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month, beating Moon Cat by 3l. Can follow up. |
(11) Truly Danzig | | | | | 7 | Alfredo Jr Triana | Mindy Willis | He has won four times from 7f to 1m on good ground. Finished 8l behind Singapore Flash when sixth of seven at 11-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m 1f (good) last month. Reserve. |
Now that SPOILER has regained the winning thread, there should be far more to come from the son of First Samuai. He can get the better of Agent Peter Graves and Don'task Don'ttell, who is on a four-timer.

2nd (4) Meisho Hale | | | | | 2 | Kanta Taguchi | Yuki Ohashi | First run back from a break of 32 weeks. Faded to finish 5th last time at Hanshin. Hard to see it being competitive today. |
1st (14) Tamamo Calicot | | | | | 2 | Kohei Matsuyama | Yoshihiko Kawamura | Did well to run into 3rd last start at Hanshin and promising career start. The wide barrier shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Value selection. |
3rd (8) An Dura | | | | | 2 | Kenichi Ikezoe | Naosuke Sugai | Third up from a break. Rattled home nicely into 2nd last run at Hanshin. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Watch the betting. |

3rd (3) Felleza | | | | | 2 | Hiroshi Kitamura | Daishi Itou | Second run this campaign. Didn't find the line when 6th last run at Nakayama. Small possibility. |
2nd (1) Grand Prix Shot | | | | | 2 | Yutaka Yoshida | Yukihiro Katou | Having third run back from a spell. Was $12.00 and overrun towards the finish when 7th last time at Nakayama and drawn the rails. Back to a shorter trip. Others make far more appeal. |

(7) T M Big Sir | | | | | 2 | Keita Tosaki | Tatsuhiko Ishikuri | Ran 8th last run at Nakayama. Will be hitting the line strongly. Potential to run into a place. |
(8) Abrams | | | | | 2 | Ryuusei Sakai | Shintarou Suzuki | Was $5.50 and got tired late when 7th last run at Chukyo. Won't be far away during the run. Good enough chance at a very tempting price. |
(9) Gakeppuchi | | | | | 2 | Yusuke Hara | Takafumi Aoki | Third run back from a break. Started at $301.00 and folded up in the straight when 13th last run at Kokura and down in trip. Looks to be in trouble. |

(12) Neo Etoilee | | | | | 2 | Hironobu Tanabe | Kazuo Konishi | Having second run back from a break. Odds of $9.00 and came in 8th last start at Nakayama. Has the ability to turn things around. Marginal prospect. |

3rd (7) Rouge Chouette | | | | | 2 | Naho Furukawa | Yoshito Yahagi | First up after a break. Was competitive when 2nd last start at Kokura and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has shown early pace in races to date. Good potential. |
(1) Mahana | | | | | 2 | Koji Nishizuka | Ippo Sameshima | Having third run back from a spell. Ran on when 2nd last time at Hanshin and has the ideal alley. Considerable improvement needed. |
(2) Lilies Bloom | | | | | 2 | Daito Ozawa | Mitsunori Makiura | Second up and good run when finishing 3rd beaten by 4L second up last preparation at Hanshin. Expected to be flashing home. Stepping back up in distance. Has a good chance. |

(5) Nac Rainbow | | | | | 2 | Shoma Sato | Hiroaki Sugiura | Third up from a break. Folded up in the straight when 9th last run at Nakayama. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Looks optimistic. |
(6) Sekitei Saku | | | | | 2 | Hokuto Miyazaki | Takayuki Katou | Jumped at $301.00 and disappointing outing when 14th last time at Nakayama but having second career run. Will struggle against these. |
(9) Autumn Luce | | | | | 2 | Riki Takasugi | Tsutomu Ogata | Second run this preparation. At $301.00 was well beaten when 11th last time at Chukyo. Should be going forward early. Risky betting proposition. |
(10) Venus Rise | | | | | 2 | Kazuki Kikuzawa | Hitoshi Kotegawa | Finished well when 3rd last start at Nakayama and getting better in recent performances. Can go through the gears. Betting is the best guide. |
(11) Piena Bricks | | | | | 2 | Takuro Ishida | Koji Kayano | Fresh from a break. Ran 11th last time at Nakayama. Unlikely to go close. |
(13) Queen's Arms | | | | | 2 | Akira Sugawara | Takahiro Mizuno | Resuming after a break. Weakened to finish 10th last start at Nakayama. Gets back and needs luck. Not without a chance. |
(14) Gold Bravo | | | | | 2 | Miyabi Muto | Masaaki Koga | Second up from a break. At $71.00 tailed off to finish 8th last run at Nakayama. Not dismissing. |
(15) Antakya | | | | | 2 | Fukamichi Ishigami | Michihiro Ogasa | Fresh after a break. Mediocre display when 15th last start at the track but was a debutant last start. Needs a lot of luck. |
Race 20: 02:50 +1d Lone Star Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight - All Lone Star Races
(5) Doc Henry Ridge | | | | | 3 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Ronald Kotara | Unplaced in all three starts. Beaten 18l behind Holiday Presence at 50-1 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Work to do. |
4th (9) All Might | | | | | 4 | Rene Diaz | Jaime Castellanos | Placed once in three starts. Finished 7l behind Summer Help when fifth of eight at 10-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Running out of chances now. |
(1) Xander S | | | | | 4 | Iram Diego | Carlos Padilla | Yet to place in eight starts. Finished 6l behind Witt's Jerry when fifth of 10 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m last month. Makes limited appeal. |
2nd (3) Baby Of The Family | | | | | 4 | Freddy Manrrique | James Martin | Placed once in two starts. Finished 1 3/4l behind Tiz Fabulous when fourth of nine at 18-5 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) last month. Others arrive in better heart. |
(2) Moven Van | | | | | 3 | Jose Alvarez | Shawn Davis | Half-brother to Quicktrip Van, won three times between 5f and 1m. Finished 5l behind Witt's Jerry when fourth of 10 at 7-1 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m last month. Could be in the mix. |
(6) Too Intimidating | | | | | 3 | Stewart Elliott | Steven Asmussen | Placed in four of eight starts. Finished 9l behind Bubba's Reckless when fifth of 12 at 9-5fav on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Cannot be ruled out. |
3rd (8) Up Up And Away | | | | | 3 | David Cabrera | Austin Gustafson | Half-brother to Cold Night Air, won four times at 7f and 1m. Beaten 1 3/4l by Bubba's Reckless when second of 12 at 13-2 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Can get off the mark. |
1st (4) Team Gormley | | | | | 4 | Floyd Jr Wethey | Kevin Scholl | Placed in five of seven starts. Finished 5l behind Varsity when fourth of nine at 19-10jt-fav on his latest outing at Remington Park over 7f (firm) in October last year. Makes plenty of appeal. |
(7) Fist Bump Ridge | | | | | 3 | Samuel Burgos | Ronald Kotara | Full brother to Excalibur Ridge, won twice at 7f and 1m. Well beaten at 22-1 behind Mister Monte Carlo when 9th of 10 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f in February. Up against it. |
A promising second on her debut at Sam Houston last month, UP UP AND AWAY sets the standard on the back of that and should improve for the slight rise in distance. Team Gormley and Too Intimidating are likely to be thereabouts.

(7) Easy Beast | | | | | 9 | Sophie Logan | Sophie Logan | Resuming from 161 day spell. Nice run when beaten 5.00L behind Master At Arms at Morphettville last start. Loves this track. Wary. |
(3) El Salto | | | | | 6 | John Kissick | Garret Lynch | Scraped home with a win by a short-head previous time out at Penola. Solid winner last time out and looks an each way chance again. |
(6) Mouse Almighty | | | | | 7 | Nichola Yuen | G Dimitropoulos | Close up last start when 2.2L behind Celsius Star at Oakbank. Loves these conditions. Can improve. |
(2) Lunar Hero | | | | | 6 | Felicity Atkinson | Peter Hardacre | Beaten 4.4L last start when a $7 in the market prior to having a spell. 4.4L from the winner in Benchmark 74 class race at this circuit last start. Ran at this trip last start when 4.4L from the winner. Top chance. |
(5) The Magistrate | | | | | 5 | Jacob Opperman | M J Seyers | First up. Loves this circuit. Resuming today after a nice effort beaten 0.20l behind Storm Voyager at Morphettville before a spell. Looks ready to win first up. |
(4) Wonderwomen | | | | | 5 | Liam Riordan | Aaron Bain & Ned Taylor | First up from a spell after finishing her last campaign with a strong win at Morphettville. Races well at this venue. Can show up fresh. |

1st (1) Globe Amaranth | | | | | 2 | Yutaka Take | Hidemasa Nakao | First up after 14 weeks and managed to place 2nd first up last preparation here. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Gets the perfect gate. Modest contender. |
2nd (3) Danon Alm | | | | | 2 | Kohei Matsuyama | Shozo Sasaki | Couldn't stay in touch when 9th last time at Chukyo. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Potential to run into a place. |
(8) Tethering | | | | | 2 | Hideaki Miyuki | Masato Nishizono | First race start 3yo by Kinshasa No Kiseki. Market as guide. |
(9) Llantrisant | | | | | 2 | Yusuke Fujioka | Tatsuya Yoshioka | Second up and attacked the line when 3rd second up last preparation at Chukyo. Should muster plenty of early toe. Good career start. Will be down in distance. Good chance and definitely has claims. |
(10) Forte Rosa | | | | | 2 | Yuga Kawada | Takashi Saito | First up and solid effort to run into 2nd beaten by 2L first up last preparation at Hanshin. Prefer in an easier race. |
(11) Microphyllum | | | | | 2 | Taisei Danno | Takashi Saito | Racing fresh today after a break. Was well beaten when 11th last time at Kokura and dropping back to a shorter trip. Place hope. |
(12) T M Ri Best | | | | | 2 | Ken Tanaka | Tamio Hamada | Resuming after a break. Weakened under pressure when 12th last time at Hanshin. Simply cannot have. |
(13) Daimei Otohime | | | | | 2 | Fuma Matsuwaka | Naoyuki Morita | Fresh from a break. Odds of $7.00 and ran 5th last time at Saga. Others preferred. |
(14) Namura Iris | | | | | 2 | Yuichiro Shibata | Kazuya Nakatake | Resuming after a spell. Started at $19.00 and didn't find the line when 11th last time at Kokura. This looks a tough assignment. |
(15) Jewel De Paris | | | | | 2 | Seina Imamura | Kazuhide Sasada | Racing fresh after a 26 week break. Was $8.00 and came in 6th last run here but having second career run. Watch the betting. |
(16) Maru Mori Tomahawk | | | | | 2 | Kanta Taguchi | Yuki Ohashi | First up from a break. Came in 11th last time here but fitter for debut run. Down in trip. This is a tough race. |
(17) Star Admiral | | | | | 2 | Kenichi Ikezoe | Manabu Ikezoe | First up after 13 weeks and good result placing 3rd first up last preparation here. The wide gate shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Watch betting. |
(18) El Professor | | | | | 2 | Nana Kawaharada | Yasuyuki Takahashi | Couldn't maintain the pace when 10th last time at Hanshin. Rough chance. |
(2) El Mirage | | | | | 2 | Mirco Demuro | Yasutoshi Ikee | Having second run back from a break. Didn't threaten when 16th last start at Hanshin but has a good draw. Facing a difficult task. |
(4) Bon Weekend | | | | | 2 | Ryoya Kozaki | Kunihiko Watanabe | First up today. Started $151.00 and lost ground in the run home when 14th last start around here but was a debutant last start. Very unlikely to cause an upset. |
(5) Deferler | | | | | 2 | Atsuya Nishimura | Mikio Matsunaga | First up. Lost ground in the run home when 13th last run around here and down in distance. Rather have another day. |
(6) Nishino Mignonne | | | | | 2 | Ryuji Wada | Hiroshi Miyamoto | First up after a break. Didn't attack the line when 12th last run at Kokura and bit of extra work to do with more weight. Making up the numbers. |
Race 23: 03:02 +1d Charles Town Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Charles Town Races
(5) Rocket Appeal | | | | | 7 | Gustavo Larrosa | Marshall Campbell | Winner of seven races from 4f to 7f. Finished 8l behind Two Bit Kid when fourth of 5 at 9-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 7f last month. Might find a few of these are too hot to handle. |
(8) Allen Can Do It | | | | | 6 | Denis Araujo | Ronney Brown | Winner of five races from 4f to 7f. Third of 6 behind Sargent Kobe beaten 6l at 6-5fav on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Another to seriously consider. |
3rd (3) Math Man Marco | | | | | 5 | J Acosta | Manolo Mangual | Winner of seven races at 4f. Beaten 9l behind Little Roo Roo at 15-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f in June last year. Denied a hat-trick on that occasion but is the type would easily bounce back. |
4th (7) Amidships | | | | | 5 | Andres Chavez | Jeff Runco | Winner of seven races from 4f to 6f. Finished 4l behind Baytown Frosty when fourth of 6 at 7-2 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Has a stiff task ahead. |
(9) Icing | | | | | 5 | Raul Mena | A Allen, III | Has won eight races from 5f to 6f. Well beaten at 11-1 behind Get Set when last of 7 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 7f last month. Has something to prove dropping back down in trip. |
1st (2) Golden Key | | | | | 6 | Carlos Lopez | Ronney Brown | Has won 11 races from 4f to 5f. Beaten 2 3/4l by Baytown Frosty when second of 5 at 6-4fav on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Likely to be thereabouts. |
2nd (1) Penguin Power | | | | | 9 | Arnaldo Bocachica | Jeff Runco | Has won 19 races from 4f to 1m 1f. Third of 6 behind Nico beaten 3 1/2l at 2-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f in November last year. Reliable and is a must for the shortlist. |
(4) Pink Dinghy | | | | | 4 | Wesley Ho | Javier Contreras | He has won three times at 4f. Finished 8l behind Elle'sbigseacret when last of 5 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Others hold more pressing claims. |
(6) Missionsninetynine | | | | | 6 | Reshawn Latchman | Lela Hanagan | Has won 11 races from 4f to 1m. Finished 8l behind Windsor's Tracker when fifth of 7 at 6-4fav on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f earlier this month. Has something to find in this company. |
PENGUIN POWER and Golden Key are well acquainted and both command respect. The former has the better percentages from past encounters and Jeff Runco's gelding just shades the vote. Math Man Marco cannot be ruled out either.

(9) Hayai Uma | | | | | 3 | Alisha Donald | Pat W Webster | Second up today. Impressed last start when leading all the way at Ipswich. She is looking to complete the hat-trick of wins today. Strong claims. |
(8) Redzoust | | | | | 4 | Nathan Fazackerley | R G Lipp | 0L from the winner over this distance last time out. Yet to finish in the placings this prep. Can be in this for a long way. |
(1) Global Citizen | | | | | 7 | Dylan Bennett | L J Hatch | Third up today. Ran well last start when 0.10L behind Dollop at Warwick. Just missed by a short head last start. Has managed to place one of two starts this preperation. Could be value for wider exotics. |
(10) Krakarib | | | | | 3 | Jace Mcmurray | Adam Campton | Having 2nd run back from a break. Close up last start when 0.7L behind Writtle at Gatton. Won't find this easy. |

(2) Omega Kingdom | | | | | 2 | Keita Tosaki | Shogo Yasuda | Fresh today. Hit the line well when 5th last start at Kyoto and having second career run. Drawn nicely. Sound chance. |
(3) Big Logos Roof | | | | | 2 | Yasunari Iwata | Tsuyoshi Tanaka | Second run this preparation. Odds of $501.00 and ran 9th last time at Nakayama. Can't suggest backing. |
(5) Dazzling Tiara | | | | | 2 | Ko Nagahama | Yuichiro Nishida | Second up this prep. Came in 10th last time at Nakayama. Might be ridden for luck. Looking elsewhere today. |

(10) Hit And Roll | | | | | 2 | Kyosuke Maruta | Yoshitada Munakata | Third up from a spell. Finished 9th last run at Nakayama. Does take a while to get into stride. Too much luck needed to come into contention. |
(13) Aoi Sakura | | | | | 2 | Yutaka Yoshida | Shigeyuki Kojima | Produced an eye catching run when 3rd beaten by 1/2L last run at Chukyo. Might have to make up considerable ground. Potential to run into a place. |
(14) Best Belle Chic | | | | | 2 | Daisuke Sasaki | Kazutomo Mori | Second run this prep. Ran 8th last time at Nakayama. This looks a tough assignment. |
(15) Idea Pasion | | | | | 2 | Yusuke Hara | Daiki Yajima | Jumped at $101.00 and was ordinary when 13th last time at Fukushima but was on debut last time. Facing a rise in trip. Most likely not today. |

(10) Wa Wa Wee Wa | | | | | 4 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Cesar Govea | She has won three times from 6f to 7f. Finished 8l behind Soaring Lady when fifth of 7 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. Others might have her measure. |
(12) Language Barrier | | | | | 6 | Rodolfo Guerra | Ronald Sayre | He has won four times from 6f to 1m. Finished 4l behind Little Avenger when fourth of 7 at 11-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f earlier this month. Easier to side with others. |
3rd (2) Flip The Coin Jan | | | | | 9 | Jose Alvarez | Jaime Castellanos | Winner of six races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 6l behind Monet's Devil at 9-2 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Looks vulnerable once more. |
(3) Magic Bow | | | | | 10 | Alfredo Contreras | James Stidham | He has won four times from 5f to 6f, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 9l behind Irish Expectations when sixth of 7 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Lone Star Park over 6f in June last year. Look elsewhere for the winner. |
(6) Texas Titan | | | | | 6 | Gerardo Mora | Danny Payne | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Beaten 11l behind Absaroka at 40-1 when seventh of 13 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f last month. Unlikely to trouble his rivals. |

(8) My Little Prince | | | | | 4 | Floyd Jr Wethey | Scott Young | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Beaten 7l behind Twentyone N Change at 40-1 when 11th of 12 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) earlier this month. Unlikely to threaten the principals. |
2nd (7) Weird Year | | | | | 5 | David Cabrera | Lee Rossi | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Third of 13 behind Absaroka beaten 8l at 11-2 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f last month. Others look more appealing options. |

Then there is the twice-raced maiden, AVIOTHIC (7), who is by the latest sire sensation Dali, and he could have this field in tizzy if he were to hit form.

ARIKATTU (9), who called the shots till the final bend before bowing out of contention on his seasonal reappearance, could land a telling blow if he kicked till the post this time around.

A juvenile race for unraced fillies so once again the betting will be a good guide. Trainer Jean-Claude Rouget is double-handed here and BUFFALO WOMAN (8) and FRAISE DES BOIS (2), The former is by Scottsass whilst the latter is well-bred and could be ready to shine. DIVA BELLA (5) catches the eye as one of the fillies most likely to be ready on debut. REVE PAREILLE (7) is another to consider.

KOLKOVA (8) has been in top form of late with a recent success over hurdles at Auteuil on April 8th in a handicap. She looks the type to do well over fences and is expected to score from GIPSY DE CHOISEL (3) who has been second on his last two runs and will make his rivals work hard for success. PARA (6) is the one for the each-way backers to take seriously. GARKAPSTAR (5) might not be running to his best form but if he recaptures that, he can not be overlooked.

RIVOLI (9) is well-bred so keep an eye on the betting because he could be ready for a big debut. UPSIDE DOWN (2) has only been modest so far but could show vast improvement at some stage.

TWICKENHAM PARK (1) is bred for this discipline and his dam won over hurdles. He should be watched in the betting market, as should another of the newcomers EL GAVILAN (4) who could head the remainder.

(4) Lady Greensleeves | | | | | 4 | S Sosibo | S G Tarry | A close third (fillies maiden plate) latest here (6f); without a win after 19 attempts; has to be respected on the pick of her form |

FORCE NAVALE (8) and MARQUISIENNE (9) both represent trainer Daniel de Watrigant and are well-bred and capable of running into the money on debut.

(11) Red Dawn | | | | | 2 | G Wright | C Bass-Robinson | Early foal; dam did get her head in front; stable can ready one; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise |
(13) Konnichiwa | | | | | 2 | O Noach | R Maingard | September foal; dam was a race winner; hard to fancy unless market points the other way |
(10) Flying Bomb | | | | | 2 | B R Fayd'Herbe | D A McLachlan | Dam had winning form; needs market confidence to make him of interest |
(2) Joueur De Flute | | | | | 2 | C Orffer | A E Sands | Dam was a race winner; makes competitive race debut; interesting to see how he figures in the betting |
2nd (16) Bagatelle Flash | | | | | 2 | C Zackey | A E Sands | Soundly beaten when seventh in a maiden juvenile plate latest here over 6f; likely to be thereabouts now that he knows a little more |
(12) Landoftherisingsun | | | | | 2 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Out of a winning dam; stable gets plenty of debutant winners; early foal; can only be watched |
(6) Krim | | | | | 2 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Early foal; stable gets plenty of debutant winners; can only be watched |
3rd (1) Worldly | | | | | 2 | R Fourie | G S Kotzen | Never landed a blow on his debut when fourth of nine over 5½f (20-1) in February; more scope for improvement than most of these; should not be far away |
(8) Powerandtheglory | | | | | 2 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | Yard has a good record with newcomers; out of a dam who was a race winner; probably best watched |
1st (14) Kaiboy | | | | | 2 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Went down by 2l when second at the first time of asking at 16-1 (over 5½f here); it's early days and entitled to respect |
If excusing their latest efforts, Bagatelle Flash and Brooksider enter calculations while Worldly is expected to take a forward step. But preference is for KAIBOY who is taken to go one better than his debut second.
Race 178: 11:28 Lyon-Parilly Du Mont Pilat Handicap Hurdle - All Lyon Parilly Races
4th (2) Ile D'Ouessant | | | | | 6 | T Dumouch | Gab Leenders | Unplaced last time, won before that at Saint-Brieuc in a Class 3 handicap hurdle over 3800m on March 10th. Merits consideration |
1st (10) Permafrost | | | | | 7 | G Richard | C Ligerot | 4th last time over 4200m in a Class 1 handicap chase at Toulouse on April 8th. Others seem more likely |
2nd (5) Obidos | | | | | 5 | Q Jacob | C Ligerot | Fair 4th over 3800m in a Class 3 hurdle at this track on March 17th. Ought to be in the shake-up |
3rd (4) Apres Bridget | | | | | 5 | J Reveley | N & A Zetterholm | Unplaced on the last two runs, 3rd before that in a Class 3 hurdle over 3400m on December 8th. One to pay attention too |
(1) Twomay | | | | | 6 | Tho Gillet | M Pitart | 2nd last time in a Class 1 chase over 3800m on December 25th. Can make the frame at nice odds |
(3) Just A Kiss Sivola | | | | | 5 | B Gelhay | M Pitart | Won a claiming hurdle last time at Nimes over 3900m on March 24th. Has work to do in a better race |
(6) Thequietman | | | | | 6 | F Giles | E Clayeux | 3rd two runs ago over 4700m in a Class 1 chase at Pau on February 18th. Can score on the switch back to hurdles |
(7) Jeanne De Guye | | | | | 5 | N Gauffenic | M Pitart | Won last time at this track on November 19th over 4100m over fences. Has won over hurdles and will be fit after a break |
(8) Jolicoeur | | | | | 5 | A Zuliani | M Seror | 4th two runs ago over 3600m at Compiegne in a Class 2 handicap hurdle on March 5th. In the mix |
(9) Saint Cecilia | | | | | 5 | B Lestrade | Mrs L Carberry | 3rd three runs ago over 3800m at Angers in a Class 4 hurdle on November 26th. Has failed to finish on the last two runs and is best watched for now |
THEQUIETMAN (6) was a good third two starts ago in a competitive Class 1 chase at Pau in February and can score on the switch back over hurdles. His main threat looks likely to be OBIDOS (5) who ran well at this track in mid-March when finishing fourth in a Class 3 event. APRES BRIDGET (4) is in the mix and ought to have a hand in the finish. JEANNE DE GUYE (7) makes up the shortlist.
Race 179: 11:35 Turffontein Racing Today Maiden Plate (a)(For all Maidens) SAF 1m - All Turffontein Races
2nd (9) American Rebel | | | | | 3 | P Mxoli | W C Marwing | Safely held in sixth in a maiden plate last month here over 7f; very difficult to fancy |
(10) Master Forester | | | | | 2 | T Mayhew | R R Magner | Last of six at Vaal Classic in January; receives weight-for-age allowance; not likely to get competitive |
(5) Viva La Victor | | | | | 3 | S Sosibo | S G Tarry | Well beaten when eighth in a maiden plate here over 7f last month; may have to settle for supporting role |
3rd (4) Breath Of Magic | | | | | 3 | C Maujean | F Bronkhorst | Been running well of late; solid performance in defeat when favourite in a maiden plate (Vaal) last Thursday; if stepping up from most recent effort should not be far away |
(8) Master Tik Tok | | | | | 4 | M Yeni | P F Matchett | Disappointing effort from good draw (maiden plate) five weeks ago when leaving backers at 5-2 frustrated at Scottsville |
(6) Erimitage | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | M/a Azzie | Was on the premises (third, beaten 1l) in a maiden plate at Vaal on Wednesday; should be thereabouts |
(7) Main Mission | | | | | 4 | R Danielson | R R Magner | Has not had much racing and shown recent signs of improvement; was a close runner-up in a maiden plate upped to 1m4f 483 days ago (Turffontein Standside); been off the track a long time |
(3) Monte Bello | | | | | 3 | K Matsunyane | B Crawford | Well drawn over C&D (maiden plate) two months ago when beaten 7l (sixth of nine); expected to be in the thick of things as he finished third at Turffontein Standside in February |
(2) Deception Pass | | | | | 3 | M K Katjedi | M/a Azzie | Finished runner-up dropped to 7f in a maiden plate when only just held (14-10, Vaal) on Wednesday; needs considering |
(11) Sakurajima | | | | | 2 | C Habib | S T Pettigrew | Well held finishing runner-up on his debut here (25-1); in receipt of an age allowance; deserves respect |
1st (1) Mastership | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | D N Stenger | Has been competitive despite being a seven-race maiden; nothing wrong with his last effort, second, beaten 2l, in a maiden plate at Turffontein Standside four weeks ago; if stepping up from most recent effort possesses leading claims |
MASTERSHIP is a strong pick. He is open to improvement. Erimitage rates a serious contender while Deception Pass is one to consider, and Monte Bello needs to bounce back from a below-par run.
Race 180: 11:44 Tarbes Qatar Prix Djebella II Maiden Stakes - All Tarbes Races
4th (7) Lady Safana | | | | | 3 | M Meyer | C Corduan | A three-year-old filly by Mister Ginoux out of Gypsadah du Croate who is making her debut. Watch the betting |
1st (6) Lambada Du Croate | | | | | 3 | M Protti | E Dell'Ova | A three-year-old filly by Mister Ginoux out of Gypsadah du Croate who is making her debut. Watch the betting |
2nd (4) Zallal Al Shahania | | | | | 3 | V Seguy | Francois Rohaut | A three-year-old filly by Azadi out of Insheragh who is making her debut. Watch the betting |
3rd (1) Jaazmina Du Soleil | | | | | 3 | G Sanchez | J Bernard | Ran well on debut when runner-up in Conditions race at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 1400m on 1 April. Be right there the finish once again |
(2) Intrastellar | | | | | 3 | G Guedj-Gay | D Morisson | Produced a good debut when third in a Conditions race at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 1400m on 1 April. Can contest the finish once again |
(3) Al Muthqafah | | | | | 3 | A Crastus | T Fourcy | A three-year-old filly by Af Albahar out of Al Mubadara who is making her debut. Watch the betting |
(5) Fikrah | | | | | 3 | M Romary | T Fourcy | A three-year-old filly by Mister Ginoux out of Pali'ba who is making her debut. Watch the betting |

(10) Jabbara | | | | | 3 | M Foulon | C Gourdain | A three-year-old filly byMahabb out of Djedahes who is making her debut. Watch the betting |
(11) Riyah | | | | | 3 | A Lemaitre | D Morisson | A three-year-old filly by Munjiz out of Wadya who is making her debut. Watch the betting |
RIYAH (11) and AL MUTHQAFAH (3) are both making their debut but are well-bred fillies and it would not be a surprise were either of them to prove good enough against these rivals. RIYAH (11) is the narrow choice to score. JAAZMINA DU SOLEIL (1) ran well on her debut when third and that experience should get her to fight out the finish once again. ZALLAL AL SHAHANIA (4) is another newcomer to consider.
Race 181: 11:50 Kochi Race 9 - 1300 JPN 6f 102y - All Kochi Races
2nd (1) Devour The Way | | | | | 3 | Masayoshi Yamasaki | Jouji Tanaka | Ran 4th last start at this venue. Likely to bounce back and proven runner at this distance. In a purple patch of form this campaign and drawn well. Solid claims. |
3rd (2) Sakura Current | | | | | 5 | Shuuji Akaoka | Mamoru Tanaka | Clearly outclassed when 9th last run here but will try to take advantage of the gate. Will be positive in the run early. Going well this preparation. A threat to the other main hopes. |
1st (6) Lady Gunner | | | | | 4 | Taichi Nagamori | Yuuji Uchikoshi | Ran 5th last run at the track. Looking past the last run. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Been in the money regularly this preparation. Represents value at a price. |
(3) Katsugeki Dairin | | | | | 5 | Kouichirou Senoo | Keisuke Matsugi | Was ordinary when 8th last start around here. Pass at this stage. |
(4) Train Train | | | | | 7 | Mototsugu Abe | Teruyuki Kunisawa | Odds of $5.50 and finished 7th last start at this track. Likely to be well placed early. Place claims. |
(5) Lord Shamal | | | | | 4 | Seishirou Oozawa | Yuuma Kawano | Started $201.00 and lackluster showing when 7th last time here. Has shown early pace in races to date. Sharp improvement needed. |
(7) Emerada | | | | | 3 | Shouji Nishimori | Shinichi Tanaka | Fairly underwhelming when 10th last run around here. Needs to find a lot more. |
(8) Lalique | | | | | 5 | Naoki Kimura | Tomoharu Ebesumoto | Started at $51.00 and mediocre performance when 9th last start at Sonoda and down in distance. Coming to a new trainer. Will be facing a challenge. |
(9) Avant | | | | | 9 | Eita Inoue | Dai Muneishi | Ran 4th last time at the track. Rough hope. |
(10) Eternal Bond | | | | | 6 | Takuya Okamura | Tomoharu Ebesumoto | Disappointing run when 9th last run at this track. Might have to make up considerable ground. Can't have. |
(11) Strawberry Two | | | | | 3 | Shinji Hatanaka | Tadayoshi Hosokawa | Ran 6th last run at this venue. Likely to bounce back. Sound chance. |
(12) Ask Man Cup | | | | | 5 | Kensuke Hayashi | Keisuke Matsugi | Disappointing outing when 11th last run at this venue. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Possible place chance. |
Race 182: 11:55 Kenilworth Comtel Juvenile Plate(For 2 yo R100 000 Win BSA / CRS Bonus) SAF 6f - All Kenilworth Races
(2) A Bit Chilly | | | | | 2 | C Zackey | D Kannemeyer | Held on his debut in course maiden juvenile plate over this trip (80-1) two months ago when 13l behind Talk To The Master |
(3) Home Reef | | | | | 2 | M Mjoka | G S Kotzen | Yard among the winners with newcomers in recent seasons; racing education begins here; market could reveal prospects against experienced rivals |
(5) Western World | | | | | 2 | O Noach | V H Marshall | Trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; dam was a race winner; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise this early in his career |
(6) Nordic Prince | | | | | 2 | C Bantam | G S Kotzen | Finished eighth of nine on his debut in February (at Kenilworth over 5f, 25-1) |
3rd (8) Billy Cool | | | | | 2 | A Domeyer | R Maingard | Was seventh of nine on his debut two months ago (over 5f here) at 25-1 |
(4) All Is Green | | | | | 2 | G Van Niekerk | G W Ennion | Well held third of seven in a juvenile plate here 18 days ago; not discounted if in the same form she showed when winning three starts back |
(1) El Capitan | | | | | 2 | R Fourie | G Van Zyl (jnr) | Solid performance to finish third at 50-1 over C&D two months ago, 4½l behind Talk To The Master; must go on the shortlist with experience under his belt |
(9) Decree | | | | | 2 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Trainer can have first-time-out winners, especially over this trip; dam did get her head in front; likely best watched as might just be better for the run |
2nd (10) Miss World | | | | | 2 | C Orffer | G W Ennion | CD winner including when successful by 1½l last month; must be respected |
1st (7) Talk To The Master | | | | | 2 | B R Fayd'Herbe | V H Marshall | CD winner including when successful by just over 2l two months ago; progressing well; chance |
It looks like an opportunity for MISS WORLD who bids for a second CD success. However, this looks a competitive race; Talk To The Master will not be without market support, while El Capitan should be on the shortlist.
Race 183: 12:00 Lyon-Parilly Henri Audras Hurdle - All Lyon Parilly Races
1st (9) Kasadepapel | | | | | 4 | T Beaurain | Mrs L Carberry | Unplaced on both runs so far, the latter over hurdles at Senonnes on March 23rd over 3600m. Looks vulnerable |
2nd (8) Kissman | | | | | 4 | A Renard | E D'Andigne | Unplaced on both starts over hurdles, the latter at Compiegne over 3400m in a Class 2 race on November 10th. Hard to fancy |
4th (1) Shazam | | | | | 4 | G Richard | M Seror | Nice 3rd last time at Strasbourg over 3300m in a Class 2 hurdle race on March 22nd. In the mix |
3rd (3) Zvikov | | | | | 4 | A Zuliani | F Nicolle | Nice 2nd over 3550m in a Class 4 hurdle last time on March 29th. A winner on the flat and has strong claims |
(2) Kaleotic | | | | | 4 | N Gauffenic | Mme G Menato | 5th last time, 2nd before that in a Class 4 hurdle race on December 18th over 3300m. Can not be discounted |
(4) Paray | | | | | 4 | S Carrere | E Clayeux | 3rd two runs ago over 2000m at Angers in a maiden on the flat on November 20th. Hurdle race debut and needs considering |
(5) Kodiac Lagrange | | | | | 4 | F Giles | H Merienne | Unplaced on one run on the flat at Argentan on August 28th over 2500m. Best watched on hurdle race debut |
(6) Game On | | | | | 4 | B Gelhay | Mlle C Fey | Unplaced last time over hurdles at Fontainebleau on March 29th in a Class 4 race. Looks of limited ability |
(7) Le Sonneur | | | | | 4 | L Vandamme | M Rolland | 5th last time at Compiegne in a claiming hurdle on March 25th over 3400m. Makes limited appeal |
(10) Sir Louis | | | | | 4 | J Reveley | N & A Zetterholm | Won at Craon on the flat three runs ago over 2400m in a maiden race on December 3rd. Will be well schooled for this debut over hurdles |
(11) Bulie | | | | | 4 | B Lestrade | M Pitart | Showed ability on the sole run over hurdles at this track on March 17th over 3400m. Place chance |
ZVIKOV (3) has leading claims to score on his second run over hurdles after a good second last time in late March at Fontainebleau. He won twice on the flat and may have the most to fear from SIR LOUIS (10) who is a flat winner himself and has joined a top stable to pursue a career over jumps. He will be well-drilled for this outing. BULIE (11) showed talent on the sole run over hurdles and should not be ruled out. SHAZAM (1) heads the remainder.
Race 184: 12:10 Turffontein For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Fm 73 Handicap (f & M)(For Fillies and Mares) SAF 1m 5f - All Turffontein Races
(6) Angelofthemorning | | | | | 5 | J R Syster | H Van Der Westhuizen | Not been able to make much of an impact in handicaps recently; finished last of eight over C&D 30 days ago when behind two of these; little chance despite this looking a little easier than last time |
(5) Go Dream Machine | | | | | 5 | N Nastili | D Nieuwenhuizen | Upped to this distance finishing 8l behind the winner last month; a while since she has been in the winners' enclosure and no winning form at this trip; dropping in the weights; this is a step down in class although looks an unlikely winner |
(4) Martinique | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | R R Magner | Finished ahead of two of these rivals stepped up to this trip last month when 20-1 fourth of eight; now competing off a lower mark; down in class and wouldn't rule out a big run |
2nd (3) Angel's Wish | | | | | 5 | K J Lihaba | W H Marwing | Finished seventh dropped back to 1m at Vaal last month; has won here before but largely disappointing since successful in a fillies handicap at Vaal Classic 12 months ago; has been dropped by the handicapper; makes limited appeal despite dropping in class |
(2) Gilda Gray | | | | | 5 | S Khumalo | F Bronkhorst | Beaten narrowly at 10-1 (Vaal Classic) two weeks ago; has won previously at this course and better than this level in her prime |
1st (1) A Place In The Sun | | | | | 4 | P Strydom | B Crawford | Beaten narrowly when third favourite last month here over 1m1f; has won previously at this course; strong claims in this lower-class event |
Martinique is considered although might not get the trip while the best days are in the past now for Gilda Gray. But A PLACE IN THE SUN should find this very winnable. She has won here once before.
Race 185: 12:23 Enghien Prix De La Ville De Saint Gratien - Attele - All Enghien Races
3rd (9) Jasmin Phil | | | | | 5 | Cedric Terry | F Terry | Has come close in 3 of last 4, most recently 2nd under the saddle in a 2550m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class E 3 weeks ago. Barefoot for the occasion but others still preferred |
2nd (10) Juan Carlos Gifont | | | | | 5 | E Raffin | Vitale Ciotola | Knocking at the door lately, most recently beating a number of these in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 2 weeks ago. Always gives his best and Eric Raffin maintaining faith must be taken as a positive sign |
4th (3) Jeune Ami | | | | | 5 | L Cl Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | Runner-up to JUST FOR FUN (4) at Meslay-du-Maine before coming 3rd in a 2150m Class E here late last month. Competitively-shod but others still easier to back |
1st (14) Jappeloup Turgot | | | | | 5 | M Abrivard | M Abrivard | 7th of 9 finishers when being conditioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Back to racing barefoot and looks a decent place chance |
(1) Jaguar D'Hermes | | | | | 5 | B Rochard | G Thorel | Left a fine, but surprising, impression on comeback when 2nd in a 2625m Class E at Chatelaillon-La Rochelle on 24 March. Barefoot this time and will have his supporters |
(2) Juste Snob | | | | | 5 | A Wiels | A Leduc | Disappointing 10th in race of reference. Has however won 2 from 3 when fitted with just front pads and can get a look-in |
(4) Just For Fun | | | | | 5 | M Mottier | T H Lamare | Imposed at Meslay-du-Maine before finishing 5th, a place behind JUAN CARLOS GIFONT (10) in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 2 weeks ago. Mathieu Mottier reining again and, with application, will not be far off the mark |
(5) Just A Man | | | | | 5 | B Le Beller | Mme E Beller | Has enjoyed something of a renaissance this term, most recently winning a 2750m Class E at La Capelle with ease 2 weeks ago. Steps up in category but should nonetheless acquit himself honourably |
(6) Jumbo Jack | | | | | 5 | D Thomain | C L Thomain | 7th of 11 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E at the start of the month, but won across town on his only barefoot start and can expect to receive the lion's share of support |
(7) Joss Capello | | | | | 5 | Y Lebourgeois | C Buhigne | Won over course and distance before faulting in 5 April race of reference. Has never disappointed in this configuration and Yoann Lebourgeois will be out to set the record straight |
(8) Jivry | | | | | 5 | P Ph Ploquin | J Et Le Bec | 7th of 13 finishers in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E 2 weeks back. Unshod-all-4 this time but seems to have no realistic chance |
(11) Jazzy Fligny | | | | | 5 | A Barrier | G Thorel | Sanctioned on comeback earlier in the month in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E. Shoes off this time but still not easy to like |
(12) Just Built | | | | | 5 | F Nivard | E Allard | Has done nothing but improve since the start of the year, most recently 3rd of 12 in a 2600m Nancy Class E on 24 March. Is proven at Enghien but appears to be aiming too high this time |
(13) Jasmin D'Ave | | | | | 5 | G Gelormini | F Lercier | Useful on a good day but well-beaten 9th of 15 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D a fortnight back. If focused though, should not be too far from the action |
(15) Jack Surprise | | | | | 5 | H Monthule | S Guarato | 2nd of 15 in a 3125m Angers Class E on 3 April, on just his 2nd start back and, in similar form, should confirm |
A very open affair with a host in contention, but a tentative nod nevertheless goes to JUMBO JACK (6) who is barefoot for just the second time after having imposed well at Vincennes earlier in the year. David Thomain will still be keeping a watchful eye on JACK SURPRISE (15) who has evidently benefited from the winter break, and JAPPELOUP TURGOT (14) who is barefoot for his first objective of the new season. Consistently in the thick of things, JUAN CARLOS GIFONT (10) merits respect.
Race 186: 12:30 Kenilworth Spur Maiden Plate(For all Maidens) SAF 5f - All Kenilworth Races
(8) House Of Sussex | | | | | 3 | O Noach | V H Marshall | Comfortably held in sixth in a maiden plate (C&D) last month; hard to recommend as the headgear needs to prompt improvement |
(3) King Of The Seas | | | | | 3 | K Steyn | P Botha | Comfortably beaten into seventh in a maiden plate in August (Turffontein Standside); starts out for new yard; back from a break; makes limited appeal |
(6) La Pulga | | | | | 2 | G Wright | C Bass-Robinson | Trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; early foal; dam a winner; inexperience a possible drawback so a watching brief the best policy |
(1) Gimme's Captain | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Towards the rear of 20 in a maiden plate three months ago here (6f); hard to recommend |
(4) Rattlesnake | | | | | 2 | M Winnaar | C Bass-Robinson | Was fourth of seven on his debut at 33-1 (over 5½f here); receives weight-for-age allowance |
2nd (5) Maneki Neko | | | | | 3 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Out of the frame beaten 5l (went off 5-2) latest here; ought to be competitive |
(2) Approach Shot | | | | | 3 | C Orffer | P Botha | Not beaten too far when runner-up in a maiden plate (over 6f here) two weeks ago; should be on the premises as stable is operating at a good strike-rate (3-10 over the past two weeks) |
1st (7) Connery | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | G S Kotzen | Gave good account (over 6f here) latest; if stepping up from most recent effort is a very interesting runner |
CONNERY is the pick of these while Approach Shot looks an obvious danger.
Race 187: 12:40 Lyon-Parilly Du Printemps Stakes - All Lyon Parilly Races
4th (3) Laughingof Fear | | | | | 4 | A Molins | Tim Donworth | Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 3000m at Goteborg(SWE) on September 30th. Makes no appeal |
2nd (6) Kaneshya | | | | | 5 | T Piccone | H A Pantall | Won last time at Fontainebleau in a Class 3 race on April 2nd over 2200m. Will find this difficult |
1st (7) Mont De Soleil | | | | | 4 | M Barzalona | F Graffard | Won his sole run to date over 2400m at Chantilly on April 5th, 2023. Can improve and play a lead role after an absence |
3rd (1) Top Of Mind | | | | | 4 | M Velon | J P Gauvin | Has been in top form with three wins in a row, the latter over 2400m at this track on March 17th in a Class 2 race. Can win again |
(2) Devil In The Sky | | | | | 4 | M Guyon | Y Barberot | Has two unplaced runs of late in Listed and a Group 3 race, 4th before that in a Group 3 race at Chantilly over 2400m in mid-June. Player |
(4) Mr De Pourceaugnac | | | | | 7 | A Pouchin | S Wattel | Fair 4th in a Class 2 race at this track over 2400m on March 17th last time. Warrants respect and can not be ruled out |
(5) Checkpoint | | | | | 9 | T Burgin | P Decouz | 5th last time at Zurich (CHE) over 2475m on September 24th. Looks hard to recommend |
(8) Karriewhitchit | | | | | 4 | M Germain | J Reynier | 3rd over 2400m at this track in a Class 2 race on March 17th when last seen. Might find a few of these too smart |
(9) Atlantica | | | | | 4 | M Forest | Frau C Bocskai | Three unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that in a Listed race at Dusseldorf (DEU) over 2100m on June 16th. Capable of making the frame |
After racking up a hat-trick of wins it is hard to see past TOP OF MIND (1). She won nicely at this track in mid-March when she last appeared. DEVIL IN THE SKY (2) is a threat having been highly tried of late. He was fourth in a Group 3 race at Chantilly last summer and can have a say in proceedings. MONT DE SOLEIL (7) lacks experience and a recent run but did plenty right when scoring on debut and can not be discounted. ATLANTICA (9) is also worth a mention.
Race 188: 12:45 Turffontein Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Fm 72 Handicap (f & M)(For Fillies and Mares) SAF 1m - All Turffontein Races
(8) Lorna Lilly | | | | | 4 | N Klink | J Borman | Tenth beaten 6l 16 days ago at Vaal Classic upped to 1m1f; a long time since her last success; has been dropped in the weights; this is a step down in class although may be vulnerable |
(9) Bushveld | | | | | 4 | M K Katjedi | F P Habib | Just a sole success to her name; towards the rear beaten 28l in a fillies handicap at Vaal latest; no easy task |
(4) Canford Rose | | | | | 3 | D Schwarz | R R Sage | Towards the rear of 13 four months ago at Kenilworth (wore blinkers); has won previously at this course; returns from a layoff; first start for current yard; looks no easy task |
(2) Play With Fire | | | | | 3 | K J Lihaba | F Bronkhorst | Recorded sole career win when competing on all-weather; lost her maiden tag in a fillies handicap at Greyville Polytrack five weeks ago, getting the job done by just over 1l; this just her second run in a handicap; should give it a good shot; stable form an obvious plus |
(7) Free In Seattle | | | | | 2 | C Habib | S J Gray | Finished seventh but wasn't beaten too far (just over 3l) in a fillies handicap at Vaal on Wednesday; receives age allowance; this just her second run in a handicap |
2nd (3) Springer | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | R R Magner | Opened account scoring narrowly at Vaal four weeks ago in what looked an up-to-scratch fillies maiden plate; first attempt at a handicap; competitive shout |
(5) Zenobia's Gold | | | | | 3 | K Matsunyane | S G Tarry | Scored narrowly in a fillies maiden plate four weeks ago when getting off the mark at Turffontein Standside; first attempt at a handicap; competitive shout |
1st (6) Solo Diva | | | | | 4 | P Mxoli | T Zackey | No impression when seventh (fillies handicap, Turffontein Standside) last week; previous run was disappointing, but finished third two starts back; expected to be in the thick of things |
3rd (1) Mighty Goddess | | | | | 4 | M Yeni | W C Marwing | Left punters frustrated after going off second favourite in a fillies handicap (Vaal Classic) two months ago; is respected |
A wide-open contest but SPRINGER is up to landing this. Zenobia's Gold is considered although might not get the trip, and Mighty Goddess is one to be feared.
Race 189: 12:58 Enghien Px Office Du Tourisme Enghien-les-bains - Monte - All Enghien Races
2nd (2) Kookie De Bellande | | | | | 4 | Mlle M Colas | H Le Bec | Lost her action in a 2500m Reims Class F on 8 April after having debuted well under the saddle on re-entry. Hind shoes off again but others easier to back |
1st (10) Kaline Du Rib | | | | | 4 | Mlle Clara Dersoir | Joel Hallais | Returns to the monte code after trotting 2nd of 13 in a 2350m Angers harness Class E early this month and, if form transitions, will not be far from the action |
4th (6) Kenenisa Skill | | | | | 4 | V Saussaye | T Bord | Sanctioned when prepping for this in a 2625m harness Class C at Agen-Le Passage 2 weeks ago. Not once out of the frame in monte competition and must not be underestimated |
3rd (9) Kora Gema | | | | | 4 | A Gendrot | M Sassier | Encountered no opposition en route to victory in a 2225m Feurs Class E on 8 April. Excellent when fitted with 4 pads and, if focused, could yet repeat |
(1) Kya De Jelma | | | | | 4 | Mlle N Henry | D Crespel | Back under the saddle after faulting in a 2750m harness Class F at La Capelle on 24 March. In superior company here and even racing barefoot, will have limited chances |
(3) Kaline De Dussac | | | | | 4 | A Andre | P Picot | Would have finished in the money instead of being sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes claimer 2 weeks ago, had she not been subject of interference. In this company though, can be passed over |
(4) Kaline Julma | | | | | 4 | A Dabouis | G Thorel | Failed to confirm her Lisieux success when sanctioned 3 weeks ago in a 2850m Laval Class F. Returns to racing barefoot though and, with application, can get back in the game |
(5) Kismie De Montfort | | | | | 4 | E Raffin | S Guarato | 9th of 10 in a 2350m Angers harness Class E earlier this month. Races unshod-behind, with Eric Raffin drafted in for the occasion and can make a big impact if she stays in stride |
(7) Kina Du Rib | | | | | 4 | J L Cl Dersoir | Joel Hallais | Disappointing 5th of 7 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E a month back. Has otherwise demonstrated good aptitude for the discipline and, with shoes off, can figure more prominently |
(8) Kejaime De Houelle | | | | | 4 | B Rochard | F Leblanc | Quality individual that has taken her game up a notch this term, latterly romping home in a 2450m Caen Class F on 27 March, and can win this if she takes to racing barefoot |
Complicated she may be but KEJAIME DE HOUELLE (8) has started to show a different side to herself lately, races barefoot for the first time and, with application, can complement her 2 recent Caen successes. KORA GEMA (9) showed her prowess at Feurs on just her first start since New Year's Day and, in similar form, can confirm. KISMIE DE MONTFORT (5) is not to everyone's taste but races unshod-behind, has a lot going for her here, and the Eric Raffin-factor cannot be ignored. KINA DU RIB (7) will
Race 190: 13:05 Kenilworth Penbev Open Maiden (f & M)(For all Fillies & Mares) SAF 6f - All Kenilworth Races
(3) Black Hole Sun | | | | | 5 | D Ashby | P D Wrensch | Finished last of nine here over 7f 18 days ago; attempts to score at the 13th time of asking; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role |
(15) Only Red | | | | | 3 | J Solomons | L Gila | Finished last of nine running for the second time for this trainer last month here; something to find with Spirit Guide (last) on that performance; she looks up against it |
(4) Greedanddesire | | | | | 3 | O Noach | P Steyn | Safely held in eighth (this distance Durbanville, fillies maiden plate) in September; returns from break; passed over |
(5) Chakpori | | | | | 2 | C Bantam | Y Singh | Seemed to find life tough (beaten 11l into 11th) over this distance here (fillies maiden juvenile plate) last month; gets an age allowance; makes debut for stable; hard to entertain |
(2) Becky Sharp | | | | | 3 | A Arries | V H Marshall | Was towards the rear of 14 on her debut over this distance (66-1) in January; should improve with a run under her belt although it was only a modest start |
(9) Opera Verse | | | | | 3 | K Steyn | G W Ennion | Comfortably held in eighth over C&D last month; easily dismissed |
(13) Shout At The Moon | | | | | 3 | X Carstens | A D Steyn | Far from disgraced (beaten just under 3l) over C&D (open race) last month; opposable |
1st (1) A Thousand Kisses | | | | | 3 | | L Gila | Was sixth of nine, beaten 5½l, (this distance Kenilworth, open race) last month |
(12) Stealingthethunder | | | | | 3 | G Wright | B Crawford | Not disgraced when ninth (open race, over 7f here) latest; can figure |
(14) Jet Green | | | | | 3 | M Mjoka | L Gila | Long-standing maiden; not disgraced when eighth (open race, over 7f here) 35 days ago |
(8) Future Star | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Durbanville (beaten 3½l at 5-1) in an open race in September; returns from break; should be thereabouts |
(16) Cotonou | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | L V Woodruff | Not disgraced when seventh over C&D (open race) latest; needs to be respected |
(10) True Horizon | | | | | 3 | A Andrews | A N Marcus | Yet to win after nine starts; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 3½l at 9-2) in an open race last month; may be involved |
(6) Spirit Guide | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | D Kannemeyer | Solid effort in defeat to finish third after going off 20-1 (over 5½f here) last month; form given substance by next-time-out winner; ought to be on the premises |
3rd (7) Rocking Peonie | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | G W Ennion | Long-term maiden (0-9); solid run when sixth in an open race last month here (7f); the fifth won since; in first-time blinkers now; she can make a bold bid as has shown signs of promise |
2nd (11) Charlene | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Has been competitive despite being a seven-race maiden; ran encouragingly when just under 2l third in January here (7f); if stepping up from most recent effort likely to be a leading contender |
CHARLENE is a confident pick. She is unexposed with scope to progress. Rocking Peonie and True Horizon are perhaps looking exposed.
Race 191: 13:05 Bangor-on-Dee Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race) GB 2m 7f 32y - All Bangor-on-Dee Races
(6) Industrialist | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Henry Daly | Beaten 9l in a soft-ground Perth bumper 12 months ago but has pulled up in both hurdles at Aintree (2m1f, heavy) and Ludlow (2m5f, soft); now has some questions to answer. |
(8) Top Kap | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Rex Dingle | Alan King | Outpaced and beaten 22l when favourite for an Exeter bumper and fared no better on his switch to hurdling at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) when easier to back at 16-1; reservations for now. |
(7) Record High | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Ciaran Gethings | Suzy Smith | Bumper winner more than two years ago; has had some lengthy breaks already in his career and has yet to offer much over hurdles. |
(5) Galassian | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Charlie Hammond | Mel Rowley | Has been a long-time absent but still interesting as this winning pointer was easily best of the rest behind a now 141-rated horse in a 2m7f good-ground maiden at Worcester in October 2022; heed market signals. |
(4) Illico De Cotte | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Kielan Woods | Dan Skelton | Irish point winner; form figures of 221 in maiden hurdles (2m3f-3m1f) and the heavier defeats have come in a Grade 2 and last time when finishing weakly on handicap debut (3m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces); plenty to like at this level if returning to his best. |
(3) Heros De Romay | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | David Bass | Kim Bailey | Not at his best on handicap debut last time in January but had been coming along nicely until then, winning a Chepstow maiden and finishing third under a penalty at Wincanton; bred to improve with his racing and for this longer trip. |
1st (2) Haiti Couleurs | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Sean Bowen | Rebecca Curtis | Only blip so far over hurdles came in a Grade 2 and he made light work of his opposition in a 2m7f heavy-ground maiden at Chepstow a month ago; beat a horse who had been consistent in handicaps; major player. |
2nd (1) Grand Albert | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Winning pointer who has shown steady improvement in each of his hurdle starts and comfortably made all over 2m3f (soft) here four weeks ago; has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and unlikely that he's reached anything like his limit. |
With Galassian returning from a long absence this will probably concern the four penalised horses. HAITI COULEURS edges preference after his dominant display at Chepstow. Grand Albert (second choice) and Heros De Romay look to have bright futures ahead of them and both should be suited by this longer trip. Illico De Cotte has to put a below-par run behind him.[Alistair Jones]
Race 192: 13:15 Lyon-Parilly De Bellerive Handicap - All Lyon Parilly Races
3rd (1) Shielding | | | | | 10 | S Ruis | S Labate | Two unplaced runs of late, won before that over 1400m in a Class 3 handicap on June 29th. Not seen since November and might need this outing |
4th (8) Eternel | | | | | 4 | C Pacaut | C Escuder | 5th two runs ago in a Class 3 handicap over 1500m on February 26th. Makes limited appeal |
1st (5) Joh Spirit | | | | | 5 | M Grandin | P Sigaud | 4th last time at Salon Provence in a Class 3 handicap on April 3rd. Course winner over 1600m in November 2023. Outside place chance |
2nd (2) Ashiktash | | | | | 5 | M Guyon | Y Bonnefoy | Unplaced last time, 3rd before that in a Class 4 race on February 12th over 1600m. One to keep safe |
(3) Belafonte | | | | | 4 | E Puillet-Roda | M Pitart | Four unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that at Marseille Borely over 1800m in a Class 1 race on November 12th. In the mix |
(4) El Meastro | | | | | 4 | M Velon | P Decouz | Unplaced last time, 3rd before that in a Class 3 race on February 19th over 1500m. Has decent placed form at this track and can be the one to beat |
(6) Agri | | | | | 4 | A Pouchin | St Richter | Fair 4th in a Class 3 race over 1500m on February 19th and has won at this track over 1600m previously. Can not be discounted |
(7) New Light | | | | | 4 | L Grosso | A Zimmer | Won the last two runs, the latter at Nancy over 1400m on September 17th in a handicap. Ought to be thereabouts after a 7 month absence |
EL MEASTRO (4) could be the best option in this race. He was a decent third two starts ago at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in February over 1500m and has good course form at this track. BELAFONTE (3) is capable of making an impact despite four tame efforts of late. ASHIKTASH (2) is one for the each-way backers to take seriously in this eight-runner event. AGRI (6) is a winner at this track and warrants respect.
Race 193: 13:15 Ayr Scotty Brand Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) GB 2m 110y - All Ayr Races
1st (1) Tommy's Oscar | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Danny McMenamin | Ann Hamilton | Won off this mark on reappearance at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) in October and he's versatile ground-wise; not beaten far when fourth of five at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last time, despite jumping to the right (which isn't the norm for him), and he's not ruled out. |
4th (6) Persian Time | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Nico de Boinville | Nicky Henderson | Won at Ascot (2m1f, good to soft) in December on second chase start and bounced back from Cheltenham flop for neck win at Kempton (2m2f, good to soft) last month; top trainer has won three of the last six runnings and this 6yo could have a big say if conditions suit (unproven on soft/heavy). |
(3) Pembroke | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Effectively gifted both chase wins, at Warwick (walkover) and Aintree (sole finisher), and he wasn't at this best at Kempton (2m4f, soft) in February last time; however, he's had wind surgery since and comes into calculations judged on his third in a Grade 2 novice at Lingfield (2m, soft) two starts ago; one to consider now back down in trip and back at a left-handed track. |
2nd (5) Traprain Law | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Course hurdles winner (2m, good) who made it 2-4 over fences when easily making all over C&D (heavy) in February last time out; 10lb higher against classier opposition today but remains to be seen where limitations lie. |
(2) Uncle Phil | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Paul Townend | W P Mullins | 3-6 over fences having made all in competitive handicap at Fairyhouse (2m1f, soft) in January; on a lofty mark for his first British start but this 7yo is clearly progressive for his top Irish yard and has to be respected. |
3rd (4) Sans Bruit | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Bryony Frost | Paul Nicholls | Ex-French 6yo for whom things really clicked when comfortably making all under Bryony Frost in the Red Rum Handicap Chase at Aintree (2m, soft) nine days ago on his fourth run for Paul Nicholls; beat 14 rivals that day and a 10lb rise may not stop him if he can repeat that promise. |
Nicky Henderson has won three of the last six runnings and his progressive 6yo PERSIAN TIME earns the vote on the back of his win at Kempton. Sans Bruit is feared most following his dominant win in the Red Rum at Aintree last week, while the Willie Mullins-trained Uncle Phil has an improving profile and is next on the list. Wind surgery, the drop back in trip and return to a left-handed track could all be positives for Pembroke.[Ben Hutton]
Race 194: 13:20 Turffontein Tab Telebet 0861 000 822 Mr 70 Handicap(Open) SAF 1m 1f - All Turffontein Races
3rd (11) Full Go | | | | | 5 | J R Syster | B B Ruiters | Not disgraced when third at 100-1 (handicap) 51 days ago here over 7f |
(10) Can't Catch Me | | | | | 4 | K A Brewer | B Webber | Her only win was on all-weather; solid run when seventh at Vaal Classic last week; handicapper easing the burden; only female in race; this represents a step up in class so looks opposable |
(8) Hakas Krakas | | | | | 4 | K Matsunyane | B Crawford | Fair effort (beaten 1l) over this trip at Vaal Classic (handicap) Copper John just behind 16 days ago; been eased in the ratings by the assessor; others perhaps more persuasive |
2nd (3) Royal Mazarin | | | | | 6 | M Yeni | J A Soma | Has won here before and all wins have come going right handed; sent off 91-100 and achieved a fair standard last month when third (handicap) here; easy to see him making an impression |
(2) Futurewolff | | | | | 4 | N Nastili | H E Adamson | Third, beaten just over 3l, in a handicap here last month (second outing for yard); form given substance by subsequent winner; has won here before |
(6) Copper John | | | | | 3 | D De Gouveia | A G Laird | Favourite but out of the money in a handicap (Vaal Classic) two weeks ago; is easing down the weights; others have more pressing claims |
1st (9) Thambi | | | | | 4 | S Khumalo | L Karriem | Not disgraced when fourth with blinkers reapplied at Vaal last Thursday (handicap); you have to go back a long way to find his only win but has won here; is easing down the weights; reunited with S Khumalo |
(4) Ryan's Dream | | | | | 4 | M V'Rensburg | M/a Azzie | A long time since he saw any reward for his efforts; upped to 1m2f in a handicap 37 days ago here putting in a solid effort to finish runner-up |
(1) To The Rescue | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | S G Tarry | Solid effort (handicap) latest (Turffontein Standside); running in a handicap for just the second time; down in grade; has to be respected |
(7) Holocene | | | | | 3 | P Strydom | M F De Kock | Brings good recent course form to the table and good efforts in defeat of late; finished third dropped back to 7f in a handicap (Vaal Classic) last week; should get involved now down in grade |
(5) Safe Space | | | | | 4 | C Habib | A P Peter | Upped to 1m1½f in a handicap at Greyville Polytrack when 3½l second 53 days ago; makes his debut for new trainer; blinkers been left off; should prove competitive |
It's quite an open contest but TO THE RESCUE could be the one to side with. With low mileage he may be capable of showing improvement and has won over this trip before. Holocene should put up plenty of resistance.
Race 195: 13:30 Newbury Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Stakes (Registered As The John Porter Stakes) (Group 3) GB 1m 4f - All Newbury Races
(9) Peking Opera | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Tom Queally | Gary Moore | Very useful (1m4f-1m6f) last year for Aidan O'Brien but needs much better form to win in this company; made 100,000gns in September and won hurdles debut in February but he had weakened right out of it three weeks later; others preferred. |
4th (5) Certain Lad | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | George Bass | Jack Channon | A stack of prize-money and nine wins over the years, ending a losing run when he took 1m2f handicaps in the mud on last two starts last term; a bit more is needed at this level and he's unraced beyond an extended 1m2f. |
3rd (10) Salt Bay | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Hector Crouch | Ralph Beckett | Third in French Group 1 as a 2yo but good second in useful 1m5f handicap at Newbury (1m5f, heavy) last September is the only time he's shown similar form; has very low mileage and was gelded since latest start (modest run on AW) but needs overall improvement and others are more solid. |
(7) Max Vega | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Rossa Ryan | Ralph Beckett | Dual C&D Group 3 winner in 2022, in this race on first occasion and third in it last year; AW handicap win in February was close to his best form but trying 2m in that sphere three weeks ago did not work out; place chance. |
(3) Alsakib | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | James Doyle | Andrew Balding | Made debut one year ago and ended that successful British season winning valuable 1m4f handicaps at Ascot (good to firm) and Newmarket (soft); needs better still at this level but not discredited in the Qatar Derby in December when last seen and a resumption of his impressive progress can't be ruled out. |
(8) Mujtaba | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Jim Crowley | William Haggas | His two 1m2f handicap wins in 2022 were smart form, particularly on heavy ground here that October; player on that and also on his neck second in Group 2 at Chester last May but he was not seen again until ending up well behind in French Group 3 (heavy) five weeks ago; well worth a go at this sort of trip but that latest result has to be a concern. |
2nd (1) Al Qareem | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Clifford Lee | K R Burke | Can front-run; absent nearly six months before career-best form on last three starts last term, winning a Listed race at Chester and Group 3 at Ascot before his second to Hamish in Group 3 at Newmarket; all those were at 1m4f and the ground holds no fears; respected but may need better still. |
(6) Chesspiece | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | William Buick | Simon & Ed Crisford | Stays 1m6f and acts on soft; 3yo wins came in a handicap and Listed race and he's not quite cracked it at Group level; gelded since final start and he looks the type to raise his game this term, but that is needed. |
1st (2) Hamish | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Tom Marquand | William Haggas | Placed on all three runs at Newbury; either first or second on all starts in 2022 and 2023, last year winning all four; seven Group 3 wins in total now (Chester, York, Goodwood and Newmarket last term) and he'll be bang there again if carrying on in same vein as last autumn. |
(4) Arrest | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Kieran Shoemark | John & Thady Gosden | Won Chester Vase (1m4f, soft) last May and Group 3 Geoffrey Freer here (1m5f, good to soft; made all) in August; disappointing twice on good to firm but showed again how well he goes on soft when second in the St Leger on final outing; dropping back in trip should be fine and he looks set for a big run with this drop back in class. |
The redoubtable Hamish (second choice) is placed expertly by connections and should go well in his bid for five wins in a row, while there could be improvement to come among the four-year-olds in particular and Chesspiece is just one of those to note. The high-profile candidate, however, is another 4yo in ARREST (nap), the St Leger runner-up, and he too looks the type to carry on his good work.[Richard Austen]
Race 196: 13:33 Enghien Prix France Bleu (lons-le-saunier) - Attele - All Enghien Races
1st (9) Kendo Jiel | | | | | 4 | P Y Verva | J L Dersoir | Lost his action in a 2100m Class C across town early-March. Sports a different configuration this time but still not the easiest to back |
4th (2) Ken Ferfay | | | | | 4 | J R Declercq | J R Declercq | Pleasantly surprising 2nd of 10, at 38/1, in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Takes on some tougher elements this time though and not a priority |
2nd (3) Kairos De Bomo | | | | | 4 | Ch Heslouin | C H Heslouin | Capable on a good day but sanctioned, when full of running, in a 2100m Vincennes Class C on 22 March. Has placed under these conditions and will appreciate the change of venue. Minor place chance |
3rd (8) Kazy Merite | | | | | 4 | A Barrier | A Buisson | Took little time getting back in shape, finishing 2nd of 8 in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class D 10 days ago. Races barefoot for the first time and, even though breaking wide, can still get in on the action |
(1) Kingston De Blary | | | | | 4 | D Thomain | C L Thomain | Showed his form despite being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 5 March. Shoes back on though and best to hold off |
(4) Killer Meslois | | | | | 4 | P Belloche | P Belloche | Sanctioned when never dangerous in a 2925m Cagnes Gr.3 on 15 February. Stays shod for comeback and can be passed over |
(5) Kaiser De Mortree | | | | | 4 | M Pantic | M Pantic | 5th, 2 places behind KASH SNIPER (13), in a 2725m Lisieux Class D a month ago. Arguably better racing right-handed but is still worth keeping an eye on |
(6) Koquery Du Buisson | | | | | 4 | F Lecanu | T H Raffegeau | Tenacious winner of a 2100m Vincennes Class D 8 days ago. Yet to finish out of first 3 and is not about to let the side down. Claim |
(7) Klassic Dream | | | | | 4 | F Lagadeuc | Y Henry | Got back in the game at Marseille-Borely late-March when winning a 2300m Class D with ease, and can again figure prominently if Francois Lagadeuc keeps him trotting |
(10) Kepi Des Monts | | | | | 4 | G Gelormini | F Lercier | Last of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Disappointing for some time and can be written off |
(11) Kajou Josselyn | | | | | 4 | P Ph Ploquin | S Guarato | 6th over longer here early-March before winning a 2200m Caen Class E 10 days later. Starts on the 2nd line but can make a big splash if still on the boil |
(12) Katsuki | | | | | 4 | F Guerineau | A Rigo | Has not been seen out since faulting early in a 2175m Vincennes Class D 3 months ago and can be confidently ruled out |
(13) Kash Sniper | | | | | 4 | M Abrivard | J Monclin | Enjoying a good run of form, latterly 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2725m Lisieux Class D a month back. Is in his category and can still trot his way into the money |
(14) Kitaliano Algref | | | | | 4 | B Rochard | P Y Rochard | Talented sort with 2 races under his belt this term, most recently faulting in a 2725m Lisieux Class D on 20 March. Will be fit by now and should not be underestimated |
KOQUERY DU BUISSON (6) left quite the impression at Vincennes earlier this month and, racing barefoot from the front line, should be eminently capable of confirming. The main opposition hails from the second row, with KAJOU JOSSELYN (11) who was quick to open his 2024 account, and KASH SNIPER (13) who has taken well to racing barefoot. KLASSIC DREAM (7) is forced to start wide but he caught the eye last time out and will be competitive for a place in the frame.

(19) Wing Glider | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Leigh Roche | Richard Brabazon | Free Eagle filly didn't count but not entirely disgraced on C&D debut in October; hard to see her making the required improvement to play a major role here though. |
(5) Positive Energy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Nathan Crosse | W McCreery | Two late-season 2yo maiden runs suggest he'll be of more interest when tackling handicaps. |
(6) Rappell | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | W J Lee | Paul W Flynn | Well held both 2yo runs in October; likely to need more time. |
(8) Your Out Of Line | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Sean Bird | Michael Mulvany | Dropped out to finish last of five on recent Leopardstown debut, having raced up with much of pace; drop back in trip should suit. |
(9) Abbey Actress | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Ronan Whelan | John S O'Donoghue | Make Believe filly dropped out quickly as if something amiss on Dundalk debut in December, probably best watched for now. |
(13) Clouds Collide | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Andrew Slattery | A Oliver | Muhaarar filly plenty green when last of ten on Dundalk debut in November; can only be watched on return. |
(14) Empress Alma | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Robert Whearty | Gavin Cromwell | Not the clearest of runs when midfield on last week's Dundalk debut; better for that experience but may still need more time. |
(10) Auburn Avenue | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Robbie Colgan | Chris Timmons | Similar form in two sprint maidens last year; will have to find significant improvement on return with tongue tie tried. |
(12) Bless Me | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Conor Maxwell | John Andrew Kinsella | Unfortunately filly is closely related to 6.6f-1m2f winner Winiata (inc 2yo; RPR 92), half-sister to seven winners inc Prinzde Glas (French 5f/6f; 100) and Belcarra (German 7f 2yo Listed/1m Group 3; 98); dam German 7f winner; newcomer best watched. |
(17) Nans View | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Neve Bennett | Jarlath P Fahey | Never recovered from slow start on sole 2yo outing at Gowran; best watched for now. |
3rd (3) Monasterboice | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Colin Keane | Noel Meade | Took a step forward on second start when staying on to be beaten only 3.5l in decent C&D 2yo maiden in October on soft-to-heavy, not at same level following month at Dundalk; blinkered for seasonal return, not one to rule out with yard beginning the season well. |
(2) Mark's One | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Chris Hayes | Gavin Cromwell | Never featured when well held on last week's Dundalk debut; tongue tie fitted here and best watched for now. |
(7) Solar Saving | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Rory Cleary | J S Bolger | Close third on Navan debut in October was promising but stamina test (1m1f) beyond him just three days later; missed subsequent intended engagement due to heavy ground so conditions hardly ideal here (having been gelded) on seasonal return. |
(18) White Clover | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Gary Carroll | Joseph G Murphy | Starspangledbanner filly a 30,000Euros yearling; half-sister to winners Coley's Koko (5f; RPR 71) and Sunmoonstar (Polish 5f 2yo); dam unplaced 7f/1m1f in France, half-sister to 5f Group 1 winner Gilt Edge Girl; newcomer worth a market check. |
(16) Kentucky Gal | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Seamie Heffernan | Anthony Mullins | Churchill filly a buy-back as a yearling; fourth foal; dam unraced half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Antonius Pius out of unbeaten Yorkshire Oaks winner; interesting jockey booking so not one to readily dismiss. |
(11) Bleak Midwinter | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Wayne Lordan | Miss Natalia Lupini | Wootton Bassett filly cost 40,000Euros as a yearling; first foal; dam 1m4f AW winner (RPR 74), half-sister to useful winners Chamade (7f-1m2f inc 2yo/Listed) and Brimham Rocks (1m2f-1m6f inc Australian Grade 3); yard had a maiden go close at Dundalk recently so not one to ignore on debut. |
4th (15) Kailasa | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Starspangledbanner half-sister to winners Kailash (1m2f inc Australia) and Kaliysta (Qatar 7f); dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 84), from family of Champion Stakes/Breeders' Cup Turf winner Kalanisi; nicely-bred debutante has to be worth a market check. |
1st (20) Zaynab | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Declan McDonogh | Gordon Elliott | Half-sister to the stable's high-class jumper Zanahiyr whose Flat win for Michael Halford was gained at 1m4f; plenty keen on C&D debut last month when showing definite promise; will want further in time. |
2nd (1) Igor Stravinsky | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Homebred son of No Nay Never is first foal of dual 1,000 Guineas winner Hermosa, a sister to Group 1 winners Hydrangea (1m/1m4f) and The United States (Australian 1m2f); newcomer with major claims on breeding; blinkered for debut. |
(4) No Knee Never | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Half-brother to six winners, notably yard's Irish Derby winner Latrobe; never involved but putting in best work at finish when third in C&D maiden in September, sole 2yo start; more expected of this year. |
Easily the most interesting of the newcomers is Igor Stravinsky, the first foal of dual Guineas winner Hermosa, equipped with blinkers. However, preference on this occasion is for another son of No Nay Never in NO KNEE NEVER, who showed plenty of promise over C&D last year. Monasterboice and Zaynab are others to have shown C&D promise, while the debutante Kailasa has to be watched for market support. [Alan Hewison]
Race 198: 13:40 Kenilworth Pick N Pay Open Maiden(For all Maidens) SAF 6f - All Kenilworth Races
(2) Miss Lemonade | | | | | 3 | M Mjoka | L Gila | Tenth attempt to break her duck; well held when fifth over C&D 25 days ago (open race) on her second outing for this trainer; is passed over |
(1) Daisy Duke | | | | | 4 | J Solomons | L Gila | Losing run totals ten; held in seventh last month here (5½f) on her second outing for this trainer; this looks a tough ask |
(3) Greenlight Express | | | | | 2 | G Wright | G Van Zyl (jnr) | Held on his debut in February running here over 5½f at 20-1; receives age allowance |
(6) Rogue Male | | | | | 5 | C Zackey | P D Wrensch | 23rd attempt to break his duck; well behind Cosmic Rhythm (fourth) finishing tenth of 12 stepped up to 7f six weeks ago |
(9) Torres | | | | | 2 | O Noach | V H Marshall | Comfortably held in fifth over C&D two weeks ago; receives weight-for-age allowance; others appeal more |
2nd (8) King Viserys | | | | | 3 | K Steyn | P Botha | Yet to win after 12 starts and out of sorts recently; finished seventh, beaten a fair way over C&D 25 days ago (open race); no blinkers this time; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role |
1st (7) Stars In Heaven | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | G Van Zyl (jnr) | Well held seventh of 11 over C&D last month; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and shortlisted |
(4) Twentytwentyvision | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Was sixth of 12, beaten 6l, over C&D in December; if drawing a line through his last run, he would be make some appeal after his third at Durbanville in November; looks interesting |
3rd (5) Einstein | | | | | 3 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Well-beaten third here over 5f last month; has to be considered |
(10) Cosmic Rhythm | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | H/m Crawford/rix | Finished fourth dropped to 7f last month; race has produced a next-time-out winner; was an encouraging third three races ago and if in the same mood in with big shout |
Despite not running well last time out, Twentytwentyvision and Stars In Heaven are worth considering, and Einstein is likely to attract market support. However, COSMIC RHYTHM is strongly fancied to come out on top. He didn't do much wrong last time (form has been boosted since).
Race 199: 13:40 Bangor-on-Dee Mayor Of Wrexham Novices' Handicap Chase (0-100) (5) 5yo+ GB 3m 30y - All Bangor-on-Dee Races
(9) Black Market | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Joe Williamson | John Norton | Regressive maiden who has pulled up over fences and hurdles on his last two starts some 514 days apart; no obvious appeal. |
(10) Glenavaddra | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Edward Austin | George Bewley | Winning pointer just over two years ago; pulled up in both his chases and he's 29lb out of the handicap here; had wind surgery. |
(8) Leading The Way | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Tabitha Worsley | Georgie Howell | 15-race maiden; had some hurdle form in Ireland but tailed off in four runs for this yard, divided between hurdles and fences (from 2m to 2m4f). |
(4) Tara Cove | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Theo Gillard | Donald McCain | Three-time Irish point winner; promising fifth on his handicap debut over hurdles but then pulled up on chase debut (behind Nine Nine Nine) and again disappointed back hurdling here four weeks ago; now has a point to prove. |
3rd (5) Le Grand Vert | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Brian Hughes | Micky Hammond | Winning hurdler in France; 0-14 over fences but good to see him post solid back-to-back efforts in defeat the last twice at about 3m; unlikely to be far away. |
(7) On The Platform | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Lee Edwards | Belinda Clarke | Has won over hurdles but he's 0-16 as a chaser, regularly placed; his two non-completions for this yard came on heavy/soft ground and has run well otherwise on good and good to soft; drying conditions would bring him into the equation. |
2nd (6) Caeruleum | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Harry Kimber | Robert Walford | Eight-race maiden; runner-up on chase debut and again last time at Exeter (3m, soft), though was no match for the 17l winner; doubt he gave his running the time before when tailed off behind Nine Nine Nine and should hold some sort of chance. |
4th (2) Nine Nine Nine | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Sean Bowen | Sarah-Jayne Davies | Had a productive season in winning two chases and also accruing some place money; recent defeats suggest he might be high in the weights now and his best form has been shy of 3m. |
1st (3) Dusautior | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Toby Wynne | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Awarded his point; just minor promise in three runs over hurdles before attracting market support on chase/handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft; this new headgear combination) and running quite well to finish third after some untidy jumping; should have every chance here if finding greater fluency. |
(1) Bampton Star | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Lorcan Williams | Jeremy Scott | Beat a subsequent winner with the pair clear on his chase debut at Exeter (3m, soft) and had little trouble in defying a 6lb rise back there on heavy; up another 8lb but this 7yo would appear to be going places at this sort of level. |
Jeremy Scott's BAMPTON STAR ran well behind a major improver on his final run over hurdles and has since impressed in both his chases. A hat-trick looks on the cards, perhaps at the expense of Dusautior who is one of the few of his rivals open to further progress. Drying ground would bring On The Platform into the equation.[Alistair Jones]
Race 200: 13:50 Lyon-Parilly Carrus Maiden Stakes - All Lyon Parilly Races
2nd (5) Glance Of Stars | | | | | 3 | Eddy Hardouin | D Artu | Unplaced on the only run over 2000m at Saint-Cloud on March 21st. Needs vast improvement to feature |
3rd (4) Caladbolg | | | | | 3 | T Trullier | Y Bonnefoy | Did well when 2nd at Chantilly over 1600m on March 28th in a maiden on the sole start. Can make progress and be on the premises |
4th (9) Gretzky | | | | | 3 | M Guyon | C Ferland | Nice 3rd at Chantilly over 1900m on March 18th on his second start. Looks the likely winner |
1st (1) Zryan | | | | | 3 | M Barzalona | F Graffard | Nice 2nd at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on March 12th in a maiden race and 2nd before that at Craon in September. Live chance |
(2) Mekhximaa | | | | | 3 | T Piccone | H A Pantall | Promise when 5th at Chantilly on the sole run so far over 1900m on March 18th in a maiden race. Consider |
(3) Desert Rhapsody | | | | | 3 | T Burgin | T Burgin | Unplaced on four runs so far, the latter over 1600m at this track on March 17th. Hard to fancy |
(6) Her Christopher | | | | | 3 | A Pouchin | Y Barberot | Two unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1950m at Le Mans on March 11th. Looks unlikely |
(7) Ouro Preto | | | | | 3 | G Mosse | M Delzangles | Unplaced on the last two runs, 2nd before that at Chantilly over 1800m on September 13th. Can feature |
(8) Montebelyo | | | | | 3 | I Mendizabal | F Chappet | 3rd at Chantilly on the only run on March 28th in a maiden over 1600m. Should improve and has outside place claims |
GRETZKY (9) has run well on both his runs so far and was a pleasing third at Chantilly over 1900m in mid-March last time. He is the selection ahead of OURO PRETO (7) who has been a bit below par in the last two runs but was a promising second at Chantilly last September and can get back on track in this. ZRYAN (1) has been second on the last two runs and needs to be respected. MEKHXIMAA (2) can also be involved and can only improve from his latest run.
Race 201: 13:50 Ayr CPMS Novices' Champion Handicap Chase (GBB Race) GB 3m 20y - All Ayr Races
(6) Special Rate | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Thomas Dowson | Philip Kirby | A five-timer last year included three hurdles and two chases; won again in this discipline at Kelso (2m7f, soft) in January before finishing alone in a match; can make mistakes (as was the case when below par last time) but there's no knocking his strike-rate. |
(5) Mofasa | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | Looked good in winning off 3lb lower at Huntingdon in November (2m7f, good to soft) but he did beat a horse who struggles to win and his subsequent runs, on either side of wind surgery, have been nothing like so good; finished behind Deeper Blue and Abuffalosoldier last time at Newbury. |
(4) Young Buster | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Connor Brace | Fergal O'Brien | Hit the ground running over fences with a hat-trick in handicaps (2m4f-2m7f) and this prominent racer was clear when clouting three out at Doncaster in January (3m, good; fine on softer; first run in cheekpieces); there was sufficient promise in that run to suggest he remains on a workable mark; respected. |
4th (8) Abuffalosoldier | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | James Bowen | Warren Greatrex | Made it 2-2 at Newbury when winning a 2m6f handicap there by 10l in January (good to soft); that triggered a 9lb rise which anchored him when a well-held there back there a month ago; held by Deeper Blue on that form. |
2nd (11) Ballycoose | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | First (2m4f) and second (2m; again heavy) in two course handicaps on his switch to fences before a disappointing run on good ground (2m4f) on his latest visit; appeared to stay 3m over hurdles and on goes the tongue-tie; today's race demands his best form yet. |
3rd (13) Donny Boy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | Bumper/hurdle winner who is 0-6 over fences and this is a tough race in which to make the breakthrough; probably no more than place claims even if the cheekpieces trigger something. |
(3) Inch House | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Jonjo O'Neill Jr | Jonjo O'Neill | Sharp improver this season over fences, winning 2m6f/2m7f handicaps at Newbury (good to soft) before posting his best RPR yet in defeat at Cheltenham (3m1f, heavy); now has to bounce back from a complete blowout back at Newbury and his tendency to hang would appear a trait going nowhere, but the ability is there to take a hand; now tongue tied. |
(2) Marble Sands | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Nick Slatter | David Killahena & Graeme McPherson | Only midfield in an AW 1m4f novice last time (in March) but had previously appreciated the demotion from Graded races to win a 2m4f handicap at Musselburgh (good to soft; 6lb lower) with a bit up his sleeve; was always a good horse over hurdles (often highly tried) and brings each-way hopes. |
(12) Maclaine | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Harry Bannister | Richard J Bandey | On a career-high mark after going up 8lb for winning at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) but impressed with how he jumped and travelled that day (won easily); that was also a new trip for him, offering plenty of encouragement for this far. |
1st (1) Sharjah | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 11 | Paul Townend | W P Mullins | Top-class hurdler who has shown a good level of form over fences, banging his head against a wall in Grade 1s in his last four appearances; finished fourth in last season's County Hurdle in his last handicap assignment and that was off an 8lb higher mark; may run well, though stamina could be an issue on this belated first run beyond 2m4f. |
(9) Montgomery | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Charlie Deutsch | Venetia Williams | Brought up the hat-trick at Bangor four weeks ago (3m, soft) but that looked unlikely for much of the race and jumping out to the right didn't help his cause; if that trait continues here then he'll do well to defy a 6lb rise in this much stronger race. |
(10) Hitching Jacking | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Below the best of his hurdle form in three runs over fences and failed to quash stamina doubts over this far when a weakening third last time at Kempton (3m, good to soft); Dan Skelton happy to persevere with this trip, however, and he's on a perfectly good mark. |
(7) Deeper Blue | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Jonathan Burke | Harry Fry | Runner-up in three of his five chases and latest Newbury conqueror (2m7f, good to soft) was well handicapped on a going day; there was near enough 10l back to Abuffalosoldier who had been 2-2 at that track; it's probably strong form for the grade and this 8yo is just 3lb higher now tried in cheekpieces. |
A competitive race full of in-form horses with more to offer. INCH HOUSE is one who wasn't at his best last time and he's quirky, but it's still been a likeable start to his chase career and he can prove himself well handicapped in the new tongue-tie. Deeper Blue's latest improved effort entitles him to second preference, while next on the list are Maclaine and Marble Sands.[Alistair Jones]
Race 202: 13:55 Turffontein Www.tab4racing.com Mr 86 Handicap(Open) SAF 1m 1f - All Turffontein Races
3rd (5) Mambo Come Tesio | | | | | 4 | N Klink | M F De Kock | Has won here in the past; was held in sixth over C&D (handicap) 51 days ago |
(7) Clarkson | | | | | 6 | D Schwarz | R R Sage | Has run his best races on right-handed tracks but hasn't won for a while; well held 12th of 19 in a handicap latest on first run for current trainer (Vaal) when dropped to 7f; competes off a lower mark; not easy to fancy as has more on his plate in this |
(12) Prince Of Kildare | | | | | 3 | J R Syster | B B Ruiters | Has winning form at this course; was thereabouts (runner-up of 11, 50-1) in a handicap latest here; off a higher mark; makes limited appeal as has more on his plate in this |
(9) Dungeons | | | | | 4 | K Matsunyane | R R Magner | Has won here; finished sixth, beaten 9l, in a handicap at Turffontein Standside three months ago; can be taken on |
(2) Whispers Of War | | | | | 6 | S Khumalo | C Spies | No wins at the trip but has won here; upped to 1m1½f in a handicap two weeks ago (Scottsville); been eased in the ratings by the assessor; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and expected to be in the thick of things |
(10) Little Prince | | | | | 5 | N Nastili | F P Habib | Has won here before but no wins at this distance; finished ninth of 12 (this trip Vaal Classic, handicap) on New Year's Day; with more on his plate others more appealing |
(11) Silvano's Song | | | | | 4 | P Mxoli | S T Pettigrew | Just a sole success to his name; finished ninth dropped back to 7½f in a handicap (Vaal) when beaten just over 4l latest; this represents a step up in class so unlikely to do better than a supporting role |
(1) Supreme Dance | | | | | 6 | D De Gouveia | B Warren | Respectable effort in defeat latest in front of La Moohal here (1m½f) |
(4) La Moohal | | | | | 3 | P Strydom | M F De Kock | Not disgraced when fifth here last month; has won here; ought to be on the premises |
(8) Officer In Command | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | M F De Kock | Narrow success in a handicap latest (over 1m here), breaking his duck (form has been franked); his official mark has been hit but this just his second run in a handicap; warrants respect despite this step up in class |
1st (6) Judgement Day | | | | | 3 | C Habib | A P Peter | Claimed a first CD win last month when successful by a short head; out to complete the hat-trick; handicapper applies the brakes but this just his second run in a handicap; has to be feared despite being up in class |
2nd (3) Jordan | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | S G Tarry | Decent effort when 20-1 runner-up at Turffontein Standside upped to 1m2f last month in what looked a warm handicap; he should go close despite being up in class |
JUDGEMENT DAY is a confident pick. He has won once over this CD. This distance might be a bit far for Jordan, Officer In Command and La Moohal.
Race 203: 14:05 Newbury Dubai Duty Free Stakes (Registered As The Fred Darling Stakes) (Group 3) (Fillies) GB 7f - All Newbury Races
(6) Topanga | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | Promise in 7f AW races at Kempton last autumn, going very close on debut then justifying odds-on favouritism; open to improvement but has a lot to find upped in class. |
3rd (1) Elmalka | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | James Doyle | Roger Varian | Well-bred filly who came with a strong late run to win at Southwell (7f, AW) on sole 2yo start; open to any amount of progress this term and, with her smart pedigree in mind, has clear Group potential; respected. |
1st (2) Folgaria | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Hollie Doyle | Marco Botti | Very progressive and 5-5 in Italy for Stefano Botti, comfortably winning Group 2 at San Siro (1m, soft) the final time; interesting contender, assuming her good form is sustained on debut for Stefano's brother Marco. |
(5) Star Music | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | William Buick | Richard Hughes | Suited by the step up to 7f last September/October, making all for impressive win at Kempton (AW) then third in Group 3 at Newmarket (soft); could well improve further, with stable in great form; enters calculations. |
2nd (3) Regal Jubilee | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Kieran Shoemark | John & Thady Gosden | Rapid progress over 1m last autumn culminated in Listed success at Newmarket (heavy); won on good ground the time before; bred to be as effective at 7f and should have even more to offer; has to be feared. |
4th (4) Relief Rally | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | William Haggas | Productive 2yo season ended with wins in the Super Sprint at this course (5f, good to soft) and Lowther at York (6f, good to firm; Group 2); leading contender, provided she stays this new trip (mixed messages in pedigree on that score). |
This year's Fred Darling has attracted an unusually small field but it's not short on quality, with Group 2 winners Relief Rally and Folgaria among the declarations. The former has a question to answer upped in distance and the latter is having her first run outside Italy. The only runners who hold entries in the 1,000 Guineas are bright prospect ELMALKA, likely pacesetter Star Music and the dropped-in-trip Regal Jubilee, preferred in that order. The selection has lots of potential, while the second choice represents a yard in excellent form and the third choice progressed well last autumn.[Steve Boow]

(8) Verified | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | N G McCullagh | Charles Weld | Best of four 2yo runs when second over 6f at Cork, good bit to find with three of today's rivals however on subsequent run at same venue on softer ground. |
(3) Lia Fail | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Terry Casey | Michael Mulvany | Enjoyed lucrative 2yo campaign with three wins and third in Fairyhouse Listed; didn't seem to get home over 7f in valuable Naas sales contest final start; tongue tie tried for seasonal return and back in trip. |
4th (4) Perfect Judgement | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Cian MacRedmond | Adrian McGuinness | Solid maiden turf form at two and improvement both AW starts this year in 6f conditions events at Dundalk, asserting late to win in January and then short of room at crucial stage when close third last month; cheekpieces now fitted for turf return, should go well if handling the conditions. |
(9) Jalaybee | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Chris Hayes | D K Weld | Placed in three early season maidens last year (including on heavy); well beaten after a break in the Birdcatcher but ran up to form in Cork maiden last month in first-time cheekpieces; place claims. |
2nd (6) Pansy Poe | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | J M Sheridan | J A Stack | Ran just twice at two, second occasion shaping well when third behind Bonbon and Sweetest in Cork maiden on soft ground in September, staying on well; stiffer 5f here sure to suit and could well play a major role. |
1st (2) Bid For Chester | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Wesley Joyce | Michael Mulvany | Plenty of experience at two, notably final start when strong-finishing third in very valuable Naas sales event on soft (7f); good second on seasonal return over same trip in Madrid Handicap at Naas behind a runaway winner; not sure drop to minimum trip in his favour though. |
(5) Sweetest | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Consistent in defeat (including Cork second to Bonbon on soft) until landing Dundalk AW maiden in November; out of depth in Leopardstown Group 3 on recent return but definite player here off a workable mark. |
3rd (7) Heavenly Being | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | Rounded off last season with a decisive success in a 5f maiden at Navan in October; too keen and hampered when well held on seasonal return over 7f in Madrid Handicap, now drops back in trip but will need to settle better. |
(1) Bonbon | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Wayne Hassett | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Pick of juvenile form came when winning Cork maiden on soft ground, showing plenty of speed in beating Sweetest 2.5l; never landed a blow however in Deauville Listed following month; still scope for improvement, especially on this sort of ground. |
An interesting race in which Perfect Judgement looks a likely major player if handling the conditions. However, the Cork juvenile maiden won by Bonbon could prove key, with second-placed Sweetest and third-placed PANSY POE both in opposition, the latter the less exposed and likely to relish this stiffer track. Jalaybee is not one to discount off a light weight. [Alan Hewison]

(8) Wehaveasituation | | | | | 3 | O Noach | P P Kruyer | Finished seventh of ten (just behind Blind Faith and La Pequenita, open race) here last month; stamina to prove at this trip so not easy to fancy |
(5) La Pequenita | | | | | 3 | D Ashby | H/m Crawford/rix | Finished third dropped back to 7f in an open race last month, that form nicely boosted |
(4) Blind Faith | | | | | 5 | C Bantam | A D Steyn | Second was a good effort in an open race here last month, finishing ahead of next-time-out winner Ice Rain; likely to be in contention if building on promise shown last time |
3rd (10) National Disgrace | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Respectable effort (beaten 2l) over C&D last month from a poor draw; form given substance by next-time-out winner; has shown signs of promise here and there and should not be far away |
(11) Saint Brigid | | | | | 3 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Runner-up was a good effort over C&D 28 days ago; that form advertised by the first; seems to be improving based on last two runs; easy to see her making an impression if confirming promise shown last time |
1st (1) Green Isle | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | A E Sands | Produced a good effort to finish third (this distance Kenilworth, fillies maiden plate) last month, the first won since; likely to take plenty of beating if confirming promise shown last time |
2nd (3) Sansa Stark | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | P Botha | Went down by 1½l when second in an open race (over 1m1f here) two weeks ago with two of these rivals behind; if stepping up from most recent effort she should give it a bold bid |
GREEN ISLE rates a strong tip. She didn't do much wrong last time (form has been boosted since). Saint Brigid will not be without market support.
Race 206: 14:15 Bangor-on-Dee Dragonbet Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Chase (0-120) (4) 5yo+ GB 2m 1f 77y - All Bangor-on-Dee Races
2nd (6) One Fine Man | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Robert Dunne | Declan Carroll | Well handicapped on his winning form just over a year ago when in a different yard; his penultimate third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) offered some encouragement but then had a backward step at Stratford (2m1f); others safer. |
(4) Daly Tiger | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 11 | John Kington | L J Morgan | A regressive maiden who was beaten 20l when runner-up three runs ago and 16l when third last time in a first-time visor; opposable. |
(1) Fast Buck | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Ciaran Gethings | Jane Williams | Not that trustworthy these days but he beat a dual subsequent winner at Wincanton in January (1m7f, heavy) and rediscovered some form at Ludlow where he probably got at it with a rival too far from home; capable off this mark but not the percentage call. |
4th (5) Charlie's Glance | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | James Martin | Andrew J Martin | Travelled well throughout to win a small-field handicap chase at Huntingdon off just 2lb lower and his defeat at Fakenham was over hurdles at 2m4f; this race looks a better fit but he wouldn't want the ground too soft. |
(3) Vicki Vale | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Kielan Woods | Dan Skelton | Dual hurdle winner who was consistent in handicaps; however, she didn't jump particularly well on chase debut at Plumpton (2m1f, good) and may appreciate further than this. |
1st (7) Lipa K | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Toby Wynne | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Capable hurdler off this sort of mark for Evan Williams (won twice at about 2m); beaten when falling late on at Haydock in December but that race was won by last week's Aintree winner El Jefe; one to consider on chase/stable debut. |
3rd (2) Grain d'Oudairies | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Was 3lb below his winning mark over hurdles when making it second-time lucky over fences in a 2m1f handicap at Market Rasen (good to soft; has won on heavy), where he made all to win by 16l; lightly raced and could easily cope with the 10lb hike. |
Donald McCain's lightly raced GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES (nap) won with such authority at Market Rasen that he can defy the 10lb hike. Lipa K rates an interesting rival on his chase and stable debut, as he was very capable off this mark over hurdles. Fast Buck could run well but is rarely the percentage call these days, while the ground could be an issue for the otherwise much respected Charlie's Glance.[Alistair Jones]
Race 207: 14:15 Enghien Prix Ville De Soisy-sous-montmorency - Attele - All Enghien Races
4th (14) Gold Mencourt | | | | | 8 | A Collette | N Binet | Got back in the game when 4th, at 40/1, to HURELLA (6) in last weekende's race of reference, but a repeat seems improbable |
3rd (5) Fashion Touch | | | | | 9 | P Ph Ploquin | P L Desaunette | Back to a more reasonable level after coming 13th of 15 in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.2 a fortnight back. Shod to preference this time but, in this company, will struggle to make her mark |
1st (13) Fonzy D'Heripre | | | | | 9 | M Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | Sanctioned when prepping for this in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class C 8 days ago. Ability is not in doubt, but current form is |
2nd (8) Belzebu'Jet | | | | | 7 | G Gelormini | H E Bondo | Has turned a corner since switching configurations, most recently 2nd of 16 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C last weekend. Is in his category and even though drawn wide, still looks competitive for a slice of the pie |
(1) Sahara Jaeburn | | | | | 7 | Y Lebourgeois | D Locqueneux | Fine campaigner that came a valiant 2nd to GARDNER SHAW (2) in a 2700m Vincennes Class C 3 weeks ago. Is proven at a superior level here and can challenge for the win |
(2) Gardner Shaw | | | | | 8 | F Lagadeuc | Y Henry | Has done nothing but improve this term, most recently making short work of a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 29 March, and with form maintained can again play a leading role |
(3) Greco Bello | | | | | 8 | A Wiels | J Marmion | Put on a fine show to come 2nd, before being disqualified, in a 2925m Cagnes Class B mid-February. Is fresh, shod to preference, won his only start here, and from the 3-spot could pleasantly surprise |
(4) Favori De L'Iton | | | | | 9 | P Y Verva | P L Desaunette | Won a claimer over track and trip before coming 9th of 16 when preparing for this in a 2725m Lisieux Class E last Sunday. Competitively-shod this time but is nonetheless out of his depth |
(6) Hurella | | | | | 7 | N Bazire | J M Bazire | Beat a host of these over course and distance mid-March before coming 12th of 14 when prepping for this in a 2100m Vincennes Class B last weekend. Shoes off this time and looks the one to beat |
(7) Here We Go | | | | | 7 | J Dubois | J Dubois | Quality trotter that seldom puts a foot wrong, most recently 3rd toGARDNER SHAW (2) in late-March race of reference. Unlikely to impose but can still get in on the action |
(9) Bahia Del Circeo | | | | | 7 | F Nivard | Vitale Ciotola | Solid winner of a 2100m Vincennes Class C a fortnight back. Has never delivered at Enghien but the nature of her recent success augurs well for her prospects |
(10) Grande Pretresse | | | | | 8 | F Lecanu | S Leblond | Won over track and trip last season but below-par since. 10th to BAHIA DEL CIRCEO (9) in a 2100m Vincennes Class C 2 weeks ago, caused by traffic problems, but can make amends if Francois Lecanu keeps her out of trouble |
(11) Domino D'Auvrecy | | | | | 11 | J Guelpa | J Guelpa | Struggling to regain form, latterly 11th of 12 finishers to BAHIA DEL CIRCEO (9) in a 2100m Vincennes Class C 2 weeks ago, and can expect to have few takers |
(12) El Santo Haufor | | | | | 10 | A Barrier | E Varin | Has not been seen out since coming last of 8 in a 2300m Mons Gr.3 late-October and will have nothing to offer |
(15) Fuego Du Mortier | | | | | 9 | J Vanmeerbeck | J Vanmeerbeck | Drops back in class after coming 8th of 16 in a 3250m Lyon-La Soie Gr.3 10 days ago, but still appears to have his work cut out |
(16) Harley Gema | | | | | 7 | B Rochard | M Sassier | Won a Cagnes Class B before finishing close 2nd to HURELLA (6) last weekend. Has won twice in 3 starts for Benjamin Rochard and, despite the draw, can still figure prominently |
Although a tricky character at the best of times, HURELLA (6) has talent in spades and, going barefoot again, can complement her fine March success. SAHARA JAEBURN (1) is clearly close to his race and Yoann Lebourgeois will be out to exact revenge on the formidable GARDNER SHAW (2) who had his measure across town 3 weeks ago. HARLEY GEMA (16) has been handed a shocking draw but, in her current condition, is very hard to ignore.
Race 208: 14:25 Ayr Coral Scottish Champion Hurdle (A Limited Handicap) (Grade 2) (GBB Race) GB 2m - All Ayr Races
(7) Benson | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Ryan Mania | Sandy Thomson | Approaching the veteran stage of his career but retains most of his ability, winning at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) on New Year's Day and running well when fourth to Afadil in the Scottish County there (1m7f, good to soft) in February; however, his last two runs have been subdued and it's asking quite a lot for him to bounce back in a race as warm as this. |
(15) Alvaniy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Brian Hayes | W P Mullins | Low-mileage 6yo; off the mark at Galway (2m, soft) last September but disappointing in three British races, pulled up in the Betfair Hurdle on latest; hard to recommend from 8lb out of the handicap. |
(8) Effernock Fizz | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Carl Millar | Cian Collins | Splendidly tough 9yo who took her record to 10-96 when rallying tenaciously to score at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy; 33-1) three weeks ago; still well treated on old form and likely to give another bold show from the front. |
(3) Westport Cove | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Danny Mullins | W P Mullins | Decidedly in and out in his short career to date, running respectably but finding far less than the winner when third of 12 to Effernock Fizz at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy) three weeks ago; needs more, but he may not be fully exposed and a strongly run race would probably play to his strengths. |
(9) Petit Tonnerre | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Jonjo O'Neill Jr | Jonjo O'Neill | Wasn't beaten far in last year's County but things haven't gone to plan this season; chasing was shelved after four defeats and he then finished last of all when sent back hurdling at Cheltenham five weeks ago; visored on that occasion and now fitted with cheekpieces; plenty to prove. |
(12) Ginger Mail | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | Likeable 2m hurdler who beat Cracking Rhapsody at Kelso (soft) in January and chased him home in the Morebattle there (good to soft) last time; just as effective on this course but now needs to find something extra. |
(14) Salsada | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Dylan Johnston | Brian Ellison | Fifth to Rubaud in this race (good) last year; below par this season but she might have needed her first two runs and then got going too late to land a blow when third of nine at Haydock (1m7f, soft) three weeks ago; has to run from 8lb out of the weights but Dylan Johnston claims a handy 5lb; returning to Ayr may suit and she's not ruled out by any means. |
(1) Rubaud | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | Bids for back-to-back successes in this race, having made all on good ground 12 months ago; more progress this season, winning Kempton Listed race (good) and Wincanton Grade 2 (good to soft) in the autumn, but he ran poorly on heavy when last seen two months ago and might need the ground to dry out if he's to follow up from a 13lb higher mark than last year. |
3rd (11) Cracking Rhapsody | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Craig Nichol | Ewan Whillans | Progressing in leaps and bounds, notching his third win from just five attempts over hurdles when storming clear of Ginger Mail in the Morebattle at Kelso (2m, good to soft; has won on heavy) seven weeks ago; a big rise in the weights is fully justified and it's unlikely we've seen the best of him yet; like his half-brother, the useful chaser Cracking Destiny, he's an excellent advertisement for the skills of his trainer. |
4th (10) Afadil | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Freddie Gingell | Paul Nicholls | Fine efforts this year in some of the warmest 2m handicaps, winning the Scottish County at Musselburgh (good to soft) and performing at least as well off higher marks at Cheltenham (County; heavy) and Aintree (soft; third of 19 eight days ago) since; seems to be thriving on a busy schedule and likely to be in the thick of things again under regular rider Freddie Gingell. |
2nd (4) Bialystok | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Paul Townend | W P Mullins | Won a competitive 2m handicap at Punchestown this time last year, but hasn't built on that and beat only one other finisher (Petit Tonnerre) in the County at Cheltenham last month; enough to prove off an unchanged mark. |
(13) Florida Dreams | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Danny McMenamin | Nicky Richards | Had finest hour when winning last season's Grade 2 bumper at the Aintree festival (good to soft); made heavy weather of justifying short odds over C&D (soft) in December, and was let down by his jumping when upped in trip at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) in February; needs to get back on track but there could still be untapped potential after just four hurdles runs. |
(2) First Street | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Nico de Boinville | Nicky Henderson | Smart 2m hurdler at his best but hasn't quite hit peak form this season, respectable 10l third of five to Lossiemouth in Grade 2 at Cheltenham three months ago; now 3lb lower than for his last handicap success (November 2022) but he was only eighth of ten behind Rubaud 12 months ago and needs to rediscover his spark; perhaps recent wind surgery will give him a boost. |
1st (6) Favour And Fortune | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Tom Cannon | Alan King | Useful novice who ran up to his best when sixth of 11 in the Supreme at Cheltenham (2m, soft; has won on good and heavy) last month; may have more to offer on his handicap debut, but jumping errors are becoming a habit and he'll need to hurdle more fluently in this bigger field. |
(5) L'Eau du Sud | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Has improved with virtually every run in Britain, posting excellent efforts in defeat in the Betfair and County Hurdles on his last two outings; they came on heavy ground but he's just as effective on good to soft; edging up the weights but has a rock-solid profile and should go well again. |
The most solid credentials belong to L'EAU DU SUD who deserves to land a big prize after silver medals in the Betfair at Newbury and the County at Cheltenham. Dangers abound, and they include Afadil, third at Aintree last week, the 2023 winner Rubaud and the upwardly mobile Morebattle winner Cracking Rhapsody. The lightly raced Florida Dreams is dangerous judged on last spring's bumper form, while last year's fifth Salsada should not be discounted despite having to run from 8lb out of the weights.[Richard O'Brien]
Race 209: 14:30 Turffontein Racehorse Owners Association Mr 96 Handicap(Open) SAF 7f 55y - All Turffontein Races
(7) Trident King | | | | | 5 | G Lerena | A Ndzilana | Has won here before but has looked regressive of late; finished last of ten (Turffontein Standside) in December; returns from break; record when fresh is not entirely persuasive and others more appealing |
(1) Winter Stories | | | | | 6 | D Schwarz | F P Habib | Last of ten (this trip, Turffontein Standside, stakes race) two months ago; work to do with Brave Viking (fifth) on that effort; a long time since his last win; tough to make a case |
(3) Another Level | | | | | 5 | P Mxoli | C Dawson | Has won here; well behind Tizona (ninth, Turffontein Standside) six weeks ago when last of ten; hard enough to fancy |
3rd (5) Emporium | | | | | 3 | K Matsunyane | P F Matchett | Could not manage better than fourth at Turffontein Standside latest; has won here; others are preferred |
(4) Kyomai | | | | | 3 | M K Katjedi | A P Peter | Last of ten in a handicap running over this distance five months ago at Turffontein Standside; this only his second start in handicap company; back from a break; this represents a step up in class so has questions to answer |
(6) Sea Anemone | | | | | 4 | R Danielson | M F De Kock | Has won here before; last of ten (at Turffontein Standside over this distance) last Saturday; she takes on the boys here |
(9) Tizona | | | | | 5 | C Maujean | A P Peter | Generally modest form since handicap success at Vaal Classic 12 months ago but all three of his wins have come over this distance; well held fourth of ten latest at Turffontein Standside; has shown signs of promise here and there and likely to be involved |
(10) Mardi Gras | | | | | 9 | N Nastili | F P Habib | Potentially on a good mark and has winning form at this course; not beaten far with blinkers reapplied last month (Vaal, handicap); competing off a higher mark; if stepping up from most recent effort is a player |
2nd (8) Brave Viking | | | | | 4 | M Yeni | J A Soma | Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Turffontein Standside (beaten just under 5l at 10-1) running over this distance two months ago; has won here in the past; should go well if replicating best efforts |
1st (2) Money Heist | | | | | 4 | C Habib | A P Peter | Last of eight (Kenilworth, this distance, progress plate) two months ago; headgear now discarded; makes debut for trainer |
(11) Champion Warrior | | | | | 4 | S Khumalo | S G Tarry | Upped to 1m in a handicap when close second at 7-1 here 51 days ago; on a long losing run but on a good mark based on best form; now off a higher mark; if stepping up from most recent effort capable of going well |
This is quite an evenly matched field but CHAMPION WARRIOR gets the nod. Brave Viking is a major threat, and Tizona has been hitting the crossbar.
Race 210: 14:32 Lyon-Parilly Desir De Mai Maiden Stakes - All Lyon Parilly Races
2nd (10) Dakota Girl | | | | | 3 | A Molins | G Geisler | 3rd over 1400m at Munich-Riem (DEU) on the only run on August 12th. Others rate higher |
4th (3) Baltic Empress | | | | | 3 | S Pasquier | N Clement | Promise when 6th on the sole run to date over 1900m at Deauville on December 3rd in a maiden. Can be involved |
3rd (7) Divide And Rule | | | | | 3 | M Velon | J P Gauvin | 4th at this track last time on March 17th over 1600m. Looks progressive and ought to be thereabouts |
1st (9) Yakamoun | | | | | 3 | A Orani | J Reynier | Credible 3rd at this track over 1600m on March 17th on the only run so far. Will be more streetwise this time and can feature |
(1) Cantatrice | | | | | 3 | T Trullier | Y Bonnefoy | 5th last time at Deauville on January 12th over 1300m in a maiden race. Hard to recommend |
(2) Xtravaganza | | | | | 3 | T Piccone | X Blanchet | 9th on the sole run at Chantilly over 1600m on March 28th in a maiden race. Looks vulnerable |
(4) Samothraki | | | | | 3 | M Barzalona | H A Pantall | Fair 4th at Toulouse over 1600m on March 20th on the only run. Can be fitter for that run and has place claims |
(5) Nurture | | | | | 3 | M Guyon | H F Devin | Fair 4th at Chantilly on debut on March 28th over 1600m. Among the leading place chances |
(6) A L'Heure | | | | | 3 | G Trolley De Prevaux | Tim Donworth | Unplaced on the only run so far over 1600m at Deauville on October 18th. Might find this tough |
(8) Best Offer | | | | | 3 | I Mendizabal | F Chappet | Good 4th on debut at Saint-Cloud on March 7th over 1600m. Can only improve and looks a leading player |
Some promising types line up in this maiden event. BEST OFFER (8) caught the eye when fourth at Saint-Cloud in early March and will know more this time after that pleasing run. She can score from DIVIDE AND RULE (7) who ran well at this track last time and could give the selection the most to do. YAKAMOUN (9) is also one that can step forward from a pleasing debut at this track when third. She will be more focused today. BALTIC EMPRESS (3) heads the rest.
Race 211: 14:40 Newbury Watership Down Stud Too Darn Hot Greenham Stakes (Group 3) (Colts & Geldings) GB 7f - All Newbury Races
2nd (4) El Bodon | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | Jane Chapple-Hyam | Second on debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last May and went one better at Lingfield (6f, AW) in June; looked a useful prospect back then but this is his first run since and others have far more substance to their form. |
(1) Alaskan Gold | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | K R Burke | Ran five times last year, winning a Carlisle novice (6f, good) on his third start and displaying major improvement in a first-time visor when pushing Ballymount Boy close in a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy) when last seen; each-way shout on that form but reappears without any headgear. |
1st (5) Esquire | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Daniel Tudhope | David O'Meara | Won on debut at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last September then went close in Listed race at York (6f, soft); disappointing at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last October when last seen but he's much better than that and his attractive pedigree provides hope that he'll have more in the tank; not ruled out. |
(6) James's Delight | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Richard Kingscote | Clive Cox | Didn't really progress last year after winning on debut here (6f, good to soft) in July, but he reappeared at Pontefract (6f, heavy) recently having been gelded and bolted up in that small-field handicap; if confirming that latest promise he might not be far away. |
(10) Watch My Tracer | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Callum Shepherd | George Scott | Two novice wins (6f, good to firm/good) from his five 2yo starts and he reappeared with narrow Listed win at Lingfield (AW) last month on first crack at 7f; slow ground is an unknown (non-runner due to unsuitable soft going last August); further improvement is needed but possible. |
(8) Room Service | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Tom Eaves | Kevin Ryan | Built upon the promise of first three starts (5f-6f, good/good to firm) when winning Doncaster sales race (6.5f, soft) with something to spare last September; not fully exposed on softer than good and could be in the mix. |
(2) Army Ethos | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Hollie Doyle | Archie Watson | Impressed on debut at Ayr (6f, good) last May and went very close in Group 2 Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good) next time; then absent until last month, when turned over at 2-9, and that defeats dents confidence in his claims today; however, he may have needed the run and remains a colt to be interested in given last year's abundant promise; wears first-time cheekpieces. |
(7) Mister Sketch | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | William Buick | Eve Johnson Houghton | Very impressive at Salisbury (6f, good) last August on his second start then went close in the Group 2 Mill Reef here (6f, heavy); there's every chance he'll stay 7f and continue to progress this year; William Buick has 23% strike-rate for yard in last five seasons; could have a part to play. |
(3) Ballymount Boy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | James Doyle | Adrian Paul Keatley | Runner-up in two 7f Group races last August (soft/good to firm) and bounced back from French flop to land Listed win at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in October, not enjoying a clear run but finding enough to beat Alaskan Gold; 7f could be his optimum trip and he's firmly in calculations. |
4th (9) Son | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Pat Dobbs | Richard Hannon | Won maiden here (6.5f, good to firm) last June on second start and some respectable runs in Group 2/Listed races subsequently (7f/1m, including on good to soft); represents stable that has enjoyed lots of success in this race but improvement is needed if he's to threaten on this reappearance. |
2nd (11) Zoum Zoum | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Ralph Beckett | Won all three 2yo starts, namely a Kempton novice (7f, AW), a warm Newmarket novice (7f, heavy; under a penalty) and Listed race at Saint-Cloud (7f, heavy); did it comfortably the last twice and he holds strong form claims on this reappearance outing. |
There was lots to like about the 2yo campaign of BALLYMOUNT BOY, who didn't enjoy an ideal passage when getting up late on in a 6f Listed race at Doncaster when last seen, and he's taken to make a winning return now he's back up to 7f. Doncaster sales race winner Room Service is not fully exposed on ground softer than good and is feared most, assuming such a surface prevails. French Listed winner Zoum Zoum has to be respected, while Esquire and Mister Sketch could have more to offer this year and last season's Coventry Stakes runner-up Army Ethos is an intriguing contender on his second start back from an absence.[Ben Hutton]
Race 212: 14:45 Curragh Hytech EQ Ultra Handicap IRE 1m - All Curragh Races
(2) Fiscal Rules | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Rory Cleary | J S Bolger | Smart performer in his day, runner-up in Cork Listed and and ran well in Group 1 company; absent nearly three years so impossible to know what to make of him at this stage. |
(15) Pralognan | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Wayne Lordan | A J Martin | Juvenile winner in France with placed form at up to 1m4f; faller on last month's hurdles return and this trip looks on the short side. |
(4) Fast Tara | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Handled heavy ground when winning Bellewstown maiden this time last year; quite highly tried afterwards by Johnny Murtagh, best run when third in Listowel handicap off 91; first start for new yard. |
(6) Current Option | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Cian MacRedmond | Adrian McGuinness | Seasoned handicapper yet to win beyond 7f and hasn't won since July 2022; too keen in Lincoln on seasonal return and remains opposable despite reduced mark. |
(16) Sirjack Thomas | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Jamie Powell | Adrian McGuinness | Heavily raced seven-time winner; already had three turf runs this season, notably Cork third to Independent Expert; bit to find. |
(9) Simply Sideways | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Wayne Hassett | Timothy Doyle | Highly progressive last season (including on heavy); just respectable runs both starts this season, keeping on late behind Independent Expert over inadequate 7f latest; return to a stiff mile to suit so not one to rule out. |
(7) Lady Lunette | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Ben Coen | R P Cody | C&D win last summer came off mark of 84 and not discredited behind Crystal Black over 1m2f here; ambitiously campaigned without success since including recent Naas Listed; will appreciate return to handicaps. |
(3) Grey Leader | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Luke McAteer | Joseph G Murphy | Likeable sort made it three wins from five starts when beating four rivals in rated race at Gowran in October on heavy, his final start; remains relatively unexposed entering handicap ranks here and has to be respected. |
3rd (10) Casanova | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Adam Caffrey | Adrian McGuinness | Long losing run but reappeared with fine fourth in Irish Lincoln here last month, having raced prominently; down to a competitive mark and has to enter calculations. |
2nd (11) Earls | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Gary Carroll | Gavin Cromwell | Grand sort handles heavy and won a big pot over 7f at Cork last May; left with plenty to do when never nearer fifth in last month's Irish Lincoln on seasonal return, should get closer this time. |
(13) Mexicali Rose | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Declan McDonogh | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Bought for 42,000gns out of Ralph Beckett's yard in December, having won Chepstow maiden last summer and run to a better level subsequently in handicaps at Pontefract and Newmarket (heavy); begins for Joseph O'Brien off a fair mark. |
(14) Independent Expert | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Andrew Slattery | Andrew Slattery | Mare likes an ease in the ground and was recording fourth career win when making successful seasonal return at Cork last month, beating Scholarship; 4lb rise okay and gets 1m so one to consider. |
(8) Scholarship | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Scott McCullagh | Gerard O'Leary | Decent Newbury form (7f) last year for Clive Cox, winning on seasonal debut and ended campaign with good second on heavy; good start for new connections when second to Independent Expert at Cork last month (7f) but remains unproven over 1m. |
1st (1) Crystal Black | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Colin Keane | Gerard Keane | Ended last season in the form of his life at this track, winning twice including 1m2f premier handicap on final start in September and in between finished a close third in Irish Cambridgeshire over this trip; those efforts came on much better ground however so obvious ground concerns here. |
(12) Spirit Genie | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Seamie Heffernan | Jennie Candlish | Soft ground winner at Leicester last year bettered that form when second at Newmarket afterwards; encouraging enough seasonal return in Lincoln at Doncaster so not one to rule out on ground he handles. |
4th (5) Mr Rango | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Shane Foley | John M Harney | Consistent for Ross O'Sullivan, winning twice over 1m2f on soft ground; up to career-high mark after recent Leopardstown win for this yard over same trip, having his field well strung out when winning going away; cheekpieces now fitted for drop in trip and seems sure to go well. |
Very competitive heat in which few can be safely ruled out. EARLS finished best of all from the rear in the Irish Lincoln and can take revenge on Casanova here. In-form Mr Rango along with Grey Leader look major threats, while market support for Joseph O'Brien's pair of recruits Fast Tara and Mexicali Rose should be noted. [Alan Hewison]
Race 213: 14:50 Enghien Prix De La Ville D'enghien-les-bains - Monte - All Enghien Races
3rd (14) Egine Precieuse | | | | | 10 | M Durville | G Thorel | Unseen under the saddle since 2019 but returns to the code after coming 11th of 16 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D 8 days ago. Reverts to a previous configuration but is unlikely to shake things up |
1st (13) Hopium | | | | | 7 | M Champenois | B Goetz | Dependable type that trotted 2nd in a 2700m Vincennes Class C 8 days ago. Has respectable Enghien credentials and could finally open his 2024 account |
2nd (10) Extreme Desbois | | | | | 10 | Cl Frecelle | B Goetz | Won a 3125m Angers Class D with authority, earlier this month, at the first time of asking under the saddle. Shoes off again and looks thoroughly capable of doubling up |
4th (3) Giuseppe | | | | | 8 | B Chauve-Laffay | T H Duvaldestin | 4th to EXTREME DESBOIS (10), having faulted, in the Angers race of reference. Is plainly in form, thrives at Enghien, and will be no pushover |
(1) Enjeu Dairpet | | | | | 10 | L Jublot | L Jublot | Surprise 5th of of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 2 April although a repeat seems rather unlikely |
(2) General | | | | | 8 | A Andre | F Gaillard | Unraced for 2 months after coming 9th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D and can expect to be race-rusty |
(4) Hautbrion Colmi | | | | | 7 | F Lagadeuc | C H Mary | In form but sanctioned in a 2325m Toulouse harness Class B on 12 April. Appreciates Enghien though and returns to the monte code with a good hand to play |
(5) Heros De Beylev | | | | | 7 | M Mottier | C H Cuiller | Kicked the year off well but out of the picture in last 2, most recently last of 9 in a Class C over course and distance on 8 March, and may have to return home empty-handed |
(6) First Gede | | | | | 9 | V Saussaye | Mme F Blot-Cariot | Finished 6th, behind HOPIUM (13), in a 2700m Vincennes Class C 8 days ago. Gave a respectable account on that occasion and, with some luck in running, can pick up a cheque |
(7) Detroit Ace | | | | | 11 | J Y Ricart | D Lecroq | Last of 9 finishers in a 2250m Class C here on 26 March. Has done nothing of note for some time and can be passed over |
(8) Gladys Du Cedre | | | | | 8 | A Collette | C L Thomain | Disappointing 7th of 9 finishers to EXTREME DESBOIS (10) at Angers earlier in the month but never worse than 5th in 6 monte starts here and must be afforded respect |
(9) Hermine Girl | | | | | 7 | A Gendrot | S T Provoost | 9th of 18 in a 2450m Caen harness Class D early-March. Has been off the boil for some time and is not about to break the mould |
(11) Dahlia Du Pont | | | | | 11 | Mlle N Henry | E Varin | Has not been seen out since finishing 9th of 10 in a 2850m Class B across town on 10 February. Just hind shoes off and will need the run |
(12) Here I Go Again | | | | | 7 | P Ph Ploquin | Y R Le Mee | Encouraging 2nd of 9 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class D on 8 March. Has previously won here and, with Paul Ploquin in the irons, will be afforded every chance |
(15) Diego Decoulgens | | | | | 11 | Mme M Darbord | Y Hurel | Forceful winner of a 2600m Cavaillon Class D on 9 April. Front shoes off this time, has never disappointed at Enghien, and even though not a priority, will still be worth monitoring |
After a frustrating string of sanctions EXTREME DESBOIS (10) was switched to the monte discipline and duly imposed; he goes barefoot again and can double his money if Clement Frecelle keeps him trotting. HOPIUM (13), on the other hand, has nothing to prove under these conditions and deserves to be rewarded with victory one of these days. The Enghien-loving GIUSEPPE (3) will have his chances if he manages to stay focused, as will the recently-sanctioned HAUTBRION COLMI (4) who won, under harness,
Race 214: 14:50 Kenilworth Champagne Stakes (grade 3)(For Horses 3-years and older) SAF 6f - All Kenilworth Races
(1) Captain Fontane | | | | | 6 | C Zackey | V H Marshall | Healthy career strike-rate; not beaten that far (just over 3l, went off 14-1) here two months ago in a Listed race; this represents a step up in class so others more persuasive |
3rd (6) Questioning | | | | | 3 | A Arries | V H Marshall | Not beaten that far (just over 4l, went off 28-10) here over 7f two months ago; with more on his plate easy enough to take on |
(10) Cafe Culture | | | | | 4 | J P v'd Merwe | L V Woodruff | Solid career strike-rate and has produced a string of consistent efforts of late; favourite when second last month here (7f) in what looked an up-to-scratch stakes race; looks likely to go well despite being up in class |
(5) Jerusalema Rain | | | | | 3 | G Wright | C Bass-Robinson | A good career strike-rate; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (3½l) last month here; no blinkers this time; is passed over as faces a stiffer task |
(9) Red Palace | | | | | 3 | O Noach | C Bass-Robinson | Well held in the Grade 1 Majorca Stakes (over 1m here) in January; ran well when fourth in the fillies Grade 1 Paddock Stakes recently and in good form prior to backwards step last time out; down in class this time but makes little appeal |
(3) Gold Poker Game | | | | | 4 | J Solomons | C Bass-Robinson | Was on the premises (finished second of nine, over 1m here) when little between her and Captain Fontane (sixth) two months ago in what looked a strong Listed race; good career strike-rate; should figure despite being up in class |
(2) Rio Querari | | | | | 7 | B R Fayd'Herbe | J S Snaith | A number of wins on straight tracks but a long time since his last win; 1½l behind the winner, Dance Variety, (over 5½f here) two weeks ago; facing a tougher assignment than 18 days ago, not one to rely on |
(8) Dance Variety | | | | | 4 | C Orffer | A N Marcus | Knows this place inside out (four course wins) and a number of wins on straight tracks; scored narrowly in a sprint race here (5½f) 18 days ago getting the better of Rio Querari; he's an attractive contender despite this step up in class |
(4) Countdown | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | G S Kotzen | Gained narrow success in a Listed race at Fairview last month in a warm race; up in class but likely to be involved |
1st (11) Winter Cloud | | | | | 3 | A Andrews | C Bass-Robinson | Scored by a slim margin in a stakes race in a competitive contest five weeks ago (over 5f here), form subsequently boosted by the second; loves it here (three wins) and a number of wins on straight tracks; needs considering despite moving up in class |
2nd (7) October Morn | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | C Bass-Robinson | A prolific winner during her career; second here when favourite two months ago; she shouldn't be far away |
This can go to OCTOBER MORN who is taken to regain the winning thread against these rivals and has won over this CD. However, it's a tricky race to be too confident about; Gold Poker Game certainly isn't out of it, while Dance Variety should be in the mix.
Race 215: 14:50 Bangor-on-Dee Wynnstay Handicap Chase (0-120) (4) 5yo+ GB 2m 4f 72y - All Bangor-on-Dee Races
(7) Jazz King | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | David Noonan | Alastair Ralph | Signed off for Sam Thomas with 12l win on chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) in March 2023 but ran poorly when reappearing for new stable in February and it's hard to know what to expect from him here; cheekpieces/tongue-tie refitted. |
(9) No Tackle | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Liam Harrison | Robbie Llewellyn | Left disappointing stable debut a long way behind when winning readily in low-grade company at Leicester (2m6f, soft) in January; ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when last of three there in February but sports first-time cheekpieces here and may yet improve again for new trainer. |
(2) Monte Igueldo | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Robert Dunne | Gary Hanmer | Won two 2m chases for the Greenall and Guerriero yard in autumn 2022 but not seen since low-key stable debut over hurdles here last May and will need to be in peak form to have any chance off current mark. |
(8) Jar Du Desert | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Charlie Hammond | Nick Kent | Chase winner in France last spring; yet to make a splash after four British starts but ran quite well when third of five at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) last month and should be fine over today's trip. |
4th (4) Grey Skies | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Looked stretched by 2m7f two starts ago but has been in good form over 2m-2m5f in recent months; lost out only by a short head in three-runner contest at Carlisle three weeks ago and remains on a workable mark. |
1st (5) Cerendipity | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Nick Scholfield | Sue Smith | Made good start to chasing career in the autumn, notably when winning at Wetherby (1m7f, soft), and put two non-completions behind him when third at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in February; didn't see out 3m last month, having made bad jumping error at penultimate fence, but remains of interest. |
(6) Hurlerontheditch | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Ciaran Gethings | Kim Bailey | Dominated from the front and was set for clearcut win before last-fence fall on seasonal/chase debut at Warwick (3m, soft) in November; two very disappointing efforts followed but he steadied the ship when keeping on from the rear for fifth at Ascot (2m5f, good) last month, despite jumping left throughout; will be suited by this return to a left-handed track and it will be interesting to see whether he reverts to much more positive tactics. |
3rd (3) Whodini | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Toby Wynne | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Won four chases (2m-2m4f) on good/good to soft ground last year and returned from break with good second at Ayr (2m4f, good) six weeks ago; escaped from that with an unchanged mark and might still be on the upgrade; major player if the ground dries out for him here. |
2nd (1) Ballycamus | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Dual chase winner this season (2m3f/2m4f) and ran well in defeat over 3m here last month; holds no secrets from the handicapper but is pretty versatile regarding ground and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
Hurlerontheditch was unlucky not to make all on his chasing debut in the autumn and could be hard to catch if back in similar form here but the suggestion is WHODINI, who enjoyed a very productive 2023 over fences and looked as good as ever last month after a break. Ballycamus should also be on the premises, while Grey Skies and Cerendipity can both benefit from today's drop back in trip.[Chris Wilson]
Race 216: 15:00 Ayr Jordan Electrics Ltd Seafield Trophy Mares' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race) GB 3m 70y - All Ayr Races
(6) Condesa | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | Pulled up on handicap debut at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) last month but she's much better than that, having finished second to a subsequent Grade 2 winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in January; there's stamina in her pedigree and this lightly raced 8yo is not written off now up in trip. |
(11) Presenting Nelly | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Connor Brace | Dan Skelton | Won two novice hurdles last September (2m4f/2m1f; good to soft/heavy); pulled up/well beaten over fences/hurdles in first two handicaps but was a ready winner over 2m4f here yesterday; unpenalised but has more to prove up in trip if turning up again from out of the weights. |
(8) Flower Of Scotland | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Danny McMenamin | Sandy Thomson | On a handy mark but has been well below her best over fences this season and needs to turn things around. |
1st (7) Czech Her Out | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Won at Perth (3m, good to soft) last August and, after a break, kept on for good third here (2m5f, good) last month; the step back up in trip is a plus and she could be in the mix if conditions suit (ran okay in a bumper on soft in 2019; all starts since on good to soft or faster). |
3rd (1) Saylavee | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Danny Mullins | W P Mullins | Won Listed mares' novice at Punchestown (2m3f, yielding) in December 2022 and second of four in mares' Grade 3 at Punchestown (2m4f, heavy) last time, behind an easy winner who went on to be third at Cheltenham; she's not obviously well treated and has something to prove at this new trip, but she's with a top Irish trainer (one of three for yard) and is not ruled out. |
(9) Phillapa Sue | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Nick Slatter | David Killahena & Graeme McPherson | Won comfortably at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December and returned to form when narrowly winning a four-runner mares' handicap on last month's chase debut (3m, heavy); could have a say now back on song. |
(3) Pink In The Park | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Mr P W Mullins | W P Mullins | Well beaten in recent Grade 1 mares' novice at Fairyhouse (2m4f, heavy) and has to bounce back; however, a case can be made on form such as her Grade 3 mares' second at Leopardstown (2m4f, soft to heavy) in December, and this trip may be within range; one of three for Willie Mullins. |
4th (4) Ottizzini | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Sean Quinlan | S R B Crawford | Comfortably won Musselburgh novice (3m, good to soft) in February and went close in Listed mares' novice at Doncaster (3m, soft) last time; jumped to the right on that most recent start and she's again going left-handed today, but she's entitled to respect on her first handicap start. |
(10) Larchmont Lass | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | Listed bumper winner (heavy) who scored at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft) in February on her third hurdle start and was a 13l fourth of 17 on handicap debut at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) last month; that latest race could prove to be a hot one (the third ran well at Cheltenham on Thursday) and she may have more to offer now up in trip for last year's winning yard. |
2nd (5) Coco Mademoiselle | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Pulled up when upped to 2m7f on handicap debut at Ascot (good to soft) in February; however, there seemed more amiss that day than just a possible lack of stamina and she's since made it 2-5 over hurdles with a novice win at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy); won a point over 3m and retains potential. |
(2) A Penny A Hundred | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Paul Townend | W P Mullins | Won on hurdle debut at Limerick (2m, heavy) in October and some good runs in defeat since; needs a bigger performance than when 20l fourth of 17 in Grade 1 mares' novice at Fairyhouse (2m4f, heavy) recently but this lightly raced 5yo stamina in pedigree and the step up in trip could suit on handicap debut; Townend's mount of the Mullins three; contender. |
Willie Mullins has a strong hand with his three runners but some of the contenders further down the weights catch the eye. CZECH HER OUT returned from a break with a staying-on third over 2m5f here last month and earns the vote now back up in trip, with last year's wins having come over 3m. Confidence in her chance will increase the more the ground dries out. Phillapa Sue won in fine style over hurdles at Doncaster in December and, having returned to form on last month's chase debut, she is feared most. Coco Mademoiselle and Larchmont Lass are interesting contenders for Dan Skelton and Paul Nicholls respectively.[Ben Hutton]
Race 217: 15:05 Turffontein Take A Bet Wina Numba Numba Fm 92 Handicap (f & M)(For Fillies and Mares) SAF 5f - All Turffontein Races
(6) Rani Of Kittur | | | | | 3 | R Danielson | R R Magner | Behind two of these rivals four weeks ago when last at Turffontein Standside (fillies handicap) over this trip; running in a handicap for only the second time and edging down the ratings; is passed over |
(1) Global Thunder | | | | | 3 | K J Lihaba | C J Lensley | Has won here; safely held in seventh over this trip at Turffontein Standside (fillies handicap) last month |
(9) Heirloom | | | | | 3 | M K Katjedi | R Klaasen | Out of the frame beaten 5l (went off 14-1) in a fillies handicap three days ago over this distance (Vaal); has winning form at this course; others are preferred |
(4) Callmewhenuneedme | | | | | 3 | C Habib | S T Pettigrew | Last of eight at Turffontein Standside two months ago |
(3) Exchange Student | | | | | 3 | D De Gouveia | C Dawson | Unable to land a blow when 11th of 15 (this trip Kenilworth, class 3 race) in January; others appeal more |
2nd (5) Law Of Success | | | | | 4 | P Mxoli | P F Matchett | Not disgraced in seventh at 11-2 (fillies handicap, Vaal) over this distance three days ago; others have more pressing claims |
(8) Women Of Fame | | | | | 3 | K Matsunyane | S G Tarry | Couldn't land a blow when seventh of eight in a fillies handicap at Vaal Classic last week; has winning form at this course |
1st (2) Ice Star | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | F P Habib | On a lengthy losing run; finished in front of two of these (this distance Turffontein Standside, fillies handicap) last month when beaten 1½l to finish runner-up; if stepping up from most recent effort has a great chance |
3rd (7) Amber Rock | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | M/a Azzie | Narrow winner (SP 28-10) of a handicap at Vaal Classic two weeks ago; now competes off a higher mark; down in class and is respected |
Amber Rock looks a serious threat while Women Of Fame has won over course and distance. But ICE STAR is hard to get away from. She is expected to confirm placings after she got the better of Global Thunder and Rani Of Kittur 28 days ago.
Race 218: 15:07 Lyon-Parilly Jean Mallen Handicap - All Lyon Parilly Races
3rd (1) Parrhesia | | | | | 3 | M Velon | A&g Botti | Unplaced on the last two runs, 4th before that over 1600m at Chantilly on January 24th in a Class 2 race. Outside place chance |
4th (7) Tecumseh | | | | | 3 | M Guyon | P&j Brandt | Has shown ability in three runs so far, 7th at Chantilly last time in a maiden race on March 18th over 1900m. In the mix |
2nd (4) Star From The East | | | | | 3 | T Piccone | H A Pantall | Unplaced on the last two runs, 3rd before that over 1300m at Deauville on January 6th in a handicap. Looks vulnerable |
1st (5) Thor Lightning | | | | | 3 | A Pouchin | St Richter | Won at Lyon La Soie last time over 1800m on March 24th in a handicap. Place contender |
(2) Team Building | | | | | 3 | A Orani | E D Monfort | Three unplaced runs of late, won before that over 1300m at Deauville on December 20th. Needs to get back on track |
(3) Princesse Columbia | | | | | 3 | A Daifi | J P Gauvin | Unplaced last time, won before that at Lyon La Soie over 1800m on January 11th. Ought to be thereabouts |
(6) Intuition | | | | | 3 | M Barzalona | H F Devin | Nice 4th last time at Pornichet over 1700m on March 27th in a maiden race. Can score on handicap debut |
(8) Falbala | | | | | 3 | J Pelicier | C Ferland | 4th last time at Chantilly in a maiden over 1600m on March 5th. Looks capable of having a presence |
(9) Sokna | | | | | 3 | C Pacaut | C Escuder | Won a handicap at Fontainebleau over 1800m on March 15th when last seen. More required with the rise in the handicap |
INTUITION (6) could be well handicapped after three runs in maiden events. She is given the vote ahead of TECUMSEH (7) who has also shown talent in three runs so far himself and ought to be involved at the business end. FALBALA (8) is also lightly raced and can not be ruled out of the top three. PRINCESSE COLUMBIA (3) is already a winner and can not be ruled out of having a say in the finish.
Race 219: 15:15 Newbury OLBG Spring Cup Handicap GB 1m - All Newbury Races
(7) Revich | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Sean D Bowen | Richard Spencer | Useful handicapper down the years and has made the frame twice in this contest (2021 and 2023); however, looks far from sure to uphold that record, having suffered a heavy defeat in the Lincoln on reappearance. |
(17) Hieronymus | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Callum Shepherd | George Baker | Has done his winning on Polytrack at Kempton, including twice in 2024; ran creditably back there on latest outing; well beaten in this year's Lincoln, taking turf record to 0-18. |
(4) Sierra Blanca | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Sean Levey | Richard Hannon | Placed at Group 3 level as a 2yo for Aidan O'Brien; well beaten in Listed grade (1m2f; drifted badly in betting) on sole start last year for the Meade yard; best to follow the market signals on debut for Richard Hannon. |
(13) Dashing Roger | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Mia Nicholls | William Stone | Has won on most types of ground; however, off current mark he would be more appealing granted the deepest surface; 3-3 on heavy, including last two handicap attempts (well held in Listed grade since). |
(11) Bennetot | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Oisin Murphy | David O'Meara | /Two wins in France; couple of duck eggs, both last autumn, for new stable; may need to come further down the weights and is best watched unless the betting speaks favourably. |
(21) City Of York | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Hayley Turner | David Simcock | Completed a hat-trick when beating Metal Merchant over C&D (heavy) last September; form has dipped in his two subsequent starts, however, and this is a step up in class; needs to resume improvement. |
3rd (5) Talis Evolvere | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Joe Leavy | Richard Hannon | Won a maiden on good to soft; generally progressive in AW handicaps since November, most recently proving game at Newcastle (1m) on finals day; may struggle to follow up, being 15lb higher than last turf appearance. |
5th (10) Bill Silvers | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Daniel Tudhope | Harry Eustace | Still looks unexposed, having raced just four times (all on soft/heavy); won over 7f at Doncaster on second occasion and ran well in 1m2f handicap there latest (October); gelded since; may improve further. |
(20) Alpha Crucis | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Anna Gibson | Gary Moore | Suited by soft going; successful twice over 1m last season; creditable fourth in the Lincoln on reappearance and ties in with two of today's main players on that form; again has frame possibilities. |
(14) Racingbreaks Ryder | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jamie Spencer | Charles Hills | Progressive spell culminated in comfortable win off 1lb lower at Ascot (soft) last May, completing a four-timer; lost his form afterwards in 2023; gelded since last run and could revive on reappearance. |
(19) Look Back Smiling | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Laura Coughlan | Gemma Tutty | Suited by soft/heavy; bids for a hat-trick, having won at Doncaster (7f/1m) the last twice, latest in the Spring Mile; better than ever and should take well to this similar venue; hard to dismiss, despite being on career-high mark. |
(12) Terwada | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Kieran Shoemark | Ed Walker | Unraced on soft/heavy; has low mileage; soundly beaten in the Cambridgeshire (gelded since) but a progressive sort otherwise, winning twice over 1m before running respectably at the York Ebor festival, and may still have more to offer; not ruled out. |
(9) Dancing Magic | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jim Crowley | Roger Teal | Useful maiden who has bits of Group form and whose last-time-out effort (handicap debut; raced on unfavoured part of the Ascot track) is best forgiven; gelded since; well treated judged on peak RPRs. |
1st (15) Metal Merchant | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | David Probert | Jack Channon | Form dipped sharply when last seen, totally failing to build on his Ascot classified success; gelded since; not guaranteed to rebound, as record suggests he's likely to need this reappearance run. |
(1) Raadobarg | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | William Buick | George Boughey | Suited by ground softer than good; successful in notable 1m handicaps for previous yards; 0-9 for current stable but has a fighting chance, provided he builds on Curragh reappearance effort (ran well, close third). |
(2) Real Gain | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Finley Marsh | Richard Hughes | Record is 3-5; came up short in Newmarket Group 3 on last appearance (gelded since) but progressive otherwise and was impressive in a handicap there (1m1f, good to firm) the time before; represents a stable in great form and likely still has more to offer; remains of interest. |
4th (3) Thunder Ball | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Alec Voikhansky | Paul & Oliver Cole | Goodwood win (1m, soft) in October is flanked by respectable efforts in major handicaps, latest at Doncaster four weeks ago where he fared best of the runners who raced prominently; enters calculations off unaltered mark. |
(6) Lattam | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Ryan Sexton | Julie Camacho | Suited by going softer than good; ran well in this race last year for William Haggas, beating all bar the subsequent Royal Hunt Cup winner; good second, despite traffic issues, in the Lincoln at Doncaster on debut for Julie Camacho; likely player, for all that he's on career-high mark. |
(8) Navagio | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Richard Kingscote | James Horton | Three wins in Ireland; ran promisingly, despite not getting an entirely smooth passage, in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, soft; one place behind Lattam) on debut for new stable; may still have further progress in him; interesting off unaltered mark. |
(16) Noble Order | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Hollie Doyle | Archie Watson | Very lightly raced 5yo who scored comfortably at Newcastle (1m, AW; off 6lb lower) two months ago on debut for new yard after a lengthy absence; showed promise on sole turf attempt (soft; debut); may progress further; possibilities. |
2nd (18) Godwinson | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Tom Marquand | William Haggas | Thrice-raced 4yo; absent since finishing fifth in strong AW novice event last August (form has plenty of substance); won easily at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) the time before; looks the type to improve further and do well in handicaps this season; very appealing. |
An opening mark of 88 looks more than manageable for GODWINSON, who last time out was only about 5l behind a subsequent Group 1 winner. The selection is open to further progress back on turf and should do well in handicaps. Real Gain (second choice) is an interesting contender for in-form Richard Hughes, while Lincoln protagonists Lattam, Navagio and Alpha Crucis are firmly in the mix. Raadobarg is respected, while several others also have possibilities.[Steve Boow]
Race 220: 15:20 Curragh Tote Now Online At Tote.ie Maiden IRE 1m - All Curragh Races
(1) Beaumadier | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Yudish Geerdharry | M C Grassick | Ten-race maiden with a low handicap mark and unlikely to be the answer to a Curragh maiden. |
(4) Cyprus Springs | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Oisin McSweeney | Luke Comer | Well held in two AW maidens; outsider. |
(5) Eight By Ten | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Scott McCullagh | Luke Comer | Bit of late headway on debut when beaten 14l in AW maiden in February; best watched. |
(11) Silky Suilleabhain | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Robert Whearty | Paul W Flynn | Has made no impression in three starts; big outsider |
(17) Crystal's Heir | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Paddy Harnett | Paul W Flynn | Well held so far under all codes; will get a handicap mark after this. |
(22) Reckless Quality | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Robbie Colgan | Patrick Martin | Modest form in 7f maidens last term; big outsider. |
(2) Calzaghi | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Calum Hogan | Kevin Thomas Coleman | Showed a bit of ability when keeping on in mid-field over 7f here last month but likely to need more experience. |
(9) Lord Of Excess | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Gary Halpin | C Byrnes | Well held in two starts for Andrew Balding last year and picked up for small money in the summer; best watched. |
(7) Gunsight | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Adam Caffrey | Michael William O'Meara | Runner-up twice over 1m at Killarney, including when touched off under inexperienced rider in handicap there last May; not seen since following month and looks up against it. |
(8) Jack McNamara | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Luke McAteer | Andrew Kinirons | Homebred is half-brother to Nostringsattached who won 1m2f maiden here for yard last term; plenty of stamina on dam-side of pedigree. |
(14) Winning Smut | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Seamie Heffernan | Michael Hourigan | Decent maiden hurdler with form up to 2m7f; this will surely be too sharp on Flat debut. |
(18) Harseva | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | James Ryan | Gerard Keane | Homebred half-sister to four winners is out of unraced half-sister to high-class miler Intikhab; tongue-tie. |
(10) Sevensees | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Fair runs in maidens last term; around 2.5l behind Come On The Lads when finishing mid-field in 1m Leopardstown handicap on his return; better for that but stiff task. |
3rd (15) Wisdomofhindsight | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Gary Carroll | A Oliver | Ran okay on debut here in September, keeping on when beaten 9l over 1m2f; this trip might be too sharp but should find his level in due course. |
(3) Come On The Lads | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Ronan Whelan | Jack W Davison | Has twice run well on heavy ground at Leopardstown, including in handicap company last time, but likely to find a few too good. |
(21) Passionate | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Andrew Slattery | Andrew Slattery | Well held in two starts for Fozzy Stack last spring and picked up for small money in July; best watched. |
(12) Spitfire Fighter | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Colin Keane | Noel Meade | Promising debut over 7f when fourth in heavy-ground Galway maiden that worked out well; faded over 1m2f here on second start; off eight months; tongue-tie. |
(6) Expound | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | J M Sheridan | Denis Gerard Hogan | Placed 10 times from 15 starts over a variety of trips and is fit from the AW but this ground won't be ideal and he'll be doing well to place in this. |
4th (16) Concluding Call | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | W J Lee | W McCreery | Two decent runs at Dundalk in early winter, only beaten just over a length over 10.5f the first time; well held in third over this trip on second start. |
(19) Johanna Whitty | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Rory Cleary | J S Bolger | Two creditable runs here within five days at the back-end, both over 1m4f on heavy; only beaten just over a length on second start; headgear on but might be done for toe over this trip. |
1st (13) State Actor | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Chris Hayes | W T Farrell | Placed in both starts over 1m at Dundalk; only beaten half a length by short-priced favourite last time with Expound well back in third; has a chance if handling the ground. |
(23) Unassuming | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Went into plenty of notebooks when coming from well back to finish fifth of 17 in 1m2f maiden here on Derby weekend; by Lope De Vega but scratched due to heavy ground in the autumn; tongue-tied for debut, not so here; trip might be too sharp but not ruled out. |
2nd (24) Uncanny | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Ryan Moore | Donnacha Aidan O'Brien | Missed a couple of engagements last August; dam 1m AW winner, closely related to 7f 2yo winner Elleanthus, half-sister to useful 1m4f/13.5f winner Moon Daisy out of maiden sister to 7f Group 3 winner Ishvana; Moore on board. |
(20) Nelda | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | Went down by no more than a length in all three maiden starts last term, including never-nearer second over 7f at Galway when last seen in August; respectable run in Group 3 before that; that Galway run was on yielding to soft but has missed several engagements due to soft ground; first try at 1m. |
Heavy ground won't be ideal but NELDA (nap), who had solid form up to 7f last term, is chosen in the hope she'll handle conditions. Based on her last run at Galway, she should stay a mile. Conversely, the trip might be on the sharp side for Unassuming who was a big eyecatcher over 1m2f here last summer but she is feared all the same. Joanna Whitty also wants further but has place claims along with Spitfire Fighter and State Actor. [Mark Nunan]
Race 221: 15:25 Kenilworth Klawervlei Stud Middle Stakes(For Horses 3-yrs and older with a nett rating of 102 & below) SAF 5f - All Kenilworth Races
(4) Mojo Man | | | | | 3 | A Arries | V H Marshall | Couldn't land a blow when ninth of 13 in a stakes race in February (over 6f here); not hard to turn elsewhere |
(8) Rod The Mod | | | | | 5 | D Ashby | P D Reeves | Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 5l) over C&D (stakes race) last month; all four wins have come over this trip |
(5) Escarpment | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | P Botha | Towards the rear of 13 in a stakes race last month over C&D; hard to make a case for him |
(1) Franz Lehar | | | | | 4 | L Mxothwa | V H Marshall | Nothing wrong with his last effort, second, beaten 2½l, (Scottsville) last February; not had much racing; starts out for new yard; has a long absence to overcome |
(7) Tough Terrain | | | | | 4 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | Respectable fourth (over 5½f here) two weeks ago; G Van Niekerk will be looking to further his good record aboard this horse; is a player |
(3) Piroshka | | | | | 4 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Beaten narrowly when fourth in the betting over C&D (stakes race) 28 days ago behind The Abdicator; hasn't won for a while; if stepping up from most recent effort likely to be thereabouts |
2nd (2) Icy Blast | | | | | 3 | B R Fayd'Herbe | V H Marshall | Far from disgraced (beaten just over 2l, stakes race) in January here |
1st (6) Nordic Chief | | | | | 3 | A Andrews | W A Nel | Not beaten far (this trip Kenilworth, stakes race) last month, the second and third franked the form since; poses a threat |
3rd (9) The Abdicator | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | B Crawford | In great form recently; claimed third CD win last time when successful at 72-100; likely to be a leading contender |
Tough Terrain should be on the shortlist while Nordic Chief should put up plenty of resistance. But THE ABDICATOR is a confident pick. He finished ahead of Piroshka and Rod The Mod last month and has won over this CD.
Race 222: 15:25 Bangor-on-Dee Camden Stout Novices' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race) (0-110) (4) 4yo+ GB 2m 145y - All Bangor-on-Dee Races
(10) Trick Of The Tail | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Peter Kavanagh | Donald McCain | Placed off 2lb higher over C&D (good) on last summer's handicap debut but absent since a poor run in November and the ground may not dry out quickly enough for him today; had wind op in December; tongue-tie added. |
(7) The Sad Shepherd | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Ciaran Gethings | Alastair Ralph | Irish point winner in 2022; ran well for a long way in Hereford maiden hurdle (2m3f, soft) on last month's stable debut but raced awkwardly and lost ground quickly when coming under pressure; sports refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces for this handicap debut; still unexposed but comes with risk. |
3rd (11) Silverbridge | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Toby Wynne | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Safely held when making the frame in two juvenile hurdles in January (about 44l behind Torneo on latter occasion) and not obviously well treated on this handicap debut but his two promising Flat runs in Ireland last year offer hope he might be capable of better in this sphere. |
(4) Present Fair | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Abbie McCain | Donald McCain | Caused 28-1 surprise at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) in December, his fifth start over hurdles, but seems to have lost his way this year and drying ground may not be ideal for him here; tongue-tie fitted. |
(5) Our Follet | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Sean Bowen | Richard Hobson | Won a junior hurdle last season but chasing didn't go to plan in December (two attempts) and he was well beaten when switched back to hurdling last month; cheekpieces added today; needs to get career back on track. |
(9) Badlands Boy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Theo Gillard | Donald McCain | Kept on steadily for third in Sedgefield maiden (2m1f, soft) in February but was pulled up after some sloppy jumping at Huntingdon last month and has been deserted by Brian Hughes on this handicap debut. |
4th (2) Thank You Blue | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Lewis Stones | Jennie Candlish | Won Sedgefield maiden (2mf, soft) on stable/hurdle debut in November but has not yet kicked on from that success, and his first two handicap runs were no better than respectable; needs help from the first-time cheekpieces here. |
2nd (1) Bucephalus | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Thomasina Eyston | Neil Mulholland | Fairly useful Flat-racer who came good over hurdles with clearcut success at Newbury (2m, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) last month; might be seen to even better effect if the ground dries out here; likely contender. |
(6) Torneo | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Jamie Snowden | Made all for wide-margin success in Wetherby juvenile hurdle (2m, soft) in January and ran well in defeat on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) the following month; has a tendency to race a bit too freely but, otherwise, his claims are pretty solid. |
(8) Camarrate | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Won on the Flat in September and delivered on earlier hurdling promise when winning against own age group at Fakenham (2m, good) this month; has more on his plate here but can cope with some lingering juice in the ground. |
1st (3) Balhambar | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Paul O'Brien | Harry Derham | Fairly useful on the Flat and has improved with experience over hurdles; drew clear on run-in to make winning handicap debut at Ludlow (2m, soft) this month and has plenty of scope for further progress; good chance. |
This can go to BALHAMBAR, who built upon his very encouraging stable debut when winning quite comfortably in the end at Ludlow this month and has plenty of scope for further progress. Bucephalus, another last-time-out winner, probably still has potential too and is feared most. Torneo should also feature.[Chris Wilson]
Race 223: 15:27 Enghien Prix De L'atlantique - Attele - All Enghien Races
3rd (6) Elvis Du Vallon | | | | | 10 | D Thomain | C H Cuiller | Could have finished closer than 6th in Prix Kerjacques had he been afforded a run. 5th in 2023 edition but others still warrant more consideration |
4th (8) Inmarosa | | | | | 6 | Leo Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | 9th of 15 in 6 March race of reference after having produced some fine performances over recent months. Has placed just once in 3 here and, drawn wide, is not about to spring any surprises |
2nd (4) Hohneck | | | | | 7 | G Gelormini | P H Allaire | Unraced since coming 13th in Prix de'Amerique late-January. Has excellent speed though, came 3rd in last yeare's edition and, from the 4-spot will be dangerous if fit |
1st (10) Horsy Dream | | | | | 7 | E Raffin | P Belloche | Runner-up to EMERAUDE DE BAIS (2) in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3 on 23 March. 4th in last yeare's edition, is barefoot for the occasion, has won 7 times for Eric Raffin, and must be taken seriously |
(1) Hooker Berry | | | | | 7 | N Bazire | F Leblanc | 3rd in Gr.2 Prix Kerjacques over 2700m at Vincennes a fortnight ago. Takes time out from covering mares to give this a go and a repeat of his latest effort would see him pick up some prizemoney |
(2) Emeraude De Bais | | | | | 10 | F Nivard | B Goetz | Won a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3 on 23 March. Sanctioned in 2023 edition but given current form, looks a serious proposition |
(3) Go On Boy | | | | | 8 | R Derieux | R Derieux | 3rd behind EMERAUDE DE BAIS (2) in Gr.1 Criterium de Vitesse over a mile at Cagnes early-March. Has taken his game to a new level over recent months and is ideally-placed to win this |
(5) Hussard Du Landret | | | | | 7 | Y Lebourgeois | B Robin | 7th, behind HOOKER BERRY (1), in Gr.2 Prix Kerjacques over 2700m at Vincennes a fortnight ago, having won Gr.1 Prix de Paris over 4150m 6 weeks earlier. Not as speedy as others here but breaks in front and can get a look-in |
(7) Hanna Des Molles | | | | | 7 | L Cl Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | Unremarkable 8th in Gr.2 Prix Kerjacques over 2700m at Vincennes 2 weeks ago. Reverts to a previous configuration and already looks out of her depth |
(9) Ganay De Banville | | | | | 8 | J M Bazire | J M Bazire | Last of 12 when prepping for this in a 3100m Angers Gr.3 on 3 March. Sports modified shoeing, has never disappointed here, and should not be written off |
GO ON BOY (3) has been chasing that elusive win since last September, has front pads fitted for the first time, adores Enghien and, from the 3-spot, can finally receive his just rewards. Romain Derieux will still be wary of the well-positioned EMERAUDE DE BAIS (2) who had his measure over a mile at Cagnes last month, and dual-Gr.1-winner HORSY DREAM (10) whose shoes are off for the occasion. HOHNECK (4) has the plum spot behind the car, returns fresh, and considering he is the 2023 Elitlopp winn
Race 224: 15:35 Ayr Coral Scottish Grand National Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) GB 3m 7f 176y - All Ayr Races
(24) Punitive | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | William Maggs | Peter Bowen | Won at Fairyhouse (3m5f, soft) for Gordon Elliott in December 2022; right out of form in his seven subsequent races for that trainer and sold for £5,000 this January; first run for new yard was much more positive but he needs to build seriously on that Ffos Las third and position 5lb out of the handicap does not help; 7lb claimer is recruited. |
5th (5) Ontheropes | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Brian Hayes | W P Mullins | Unraced beyond 3m2f; sole chase win (12 races) was the 2021 Munster National over 3m at Limerick (soft) and that's his career-best form by some way; off 699 days before this season and he got round for the first time since on latest start, albeit beaten 22l; tongue tied in that race and today; edging down the weights but it's hard to be confident of a sufficient revival. |
(25) Secret Reprieve | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | James Turner | Evan Williams | Has not had much racing, or recaptured his form, since winning the Welsh Grand National in January 2021; 2lb lower today, even from 5lb out of the handicap; two places last winter but pulled up in the 2023 Midlands National and well beaten behind Ballygriffin Cottage at Sandown when next seen nearly a year later. |
4th (21) Klarc Kent | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Sean O'Keeffe | W P Mullins | Bumper win in March 2022; has had only six races since and failed to win but he's been competitive sent chasing this season, beaten a neck on handicap debut at Fairyhouse (2m5f, heavy) three weeks ago; 2m7f performance the time before backs up the suggestion that serious stamina tests could suit. |
(23) Egbert | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Brendan Powell | Alan King | Won a maiden hurdle on sole start on soft; ran poorly on second outing this term but the other three yielded two wins and a good second; first-time visor for 4l win at Doncaster (good) in January and first-time blinkers when front-running second at Kempton (good to soft) five weeks ago; both were 3m and, although 2lb out of the handicap here, the move up in trip is interesting. |
(3) Elvis Mail | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | 2-3 over fences at Ayr and his fifth chase win came at Carlisle (3m, heavy) 13 days ago; missed this race last year because of good ground, so the furthest he's been is still 3m2f, over which he twice strode out well to win on soft at Kelso; has a career-high mark but the longer trip is interesting. |
(7) Gold Cup Bailly | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | Stays 3m and goes well on soft/heavy; the switch to chasing last term went swimmingly, including two impressive wins at this track, before heavy defeats in better races on his last two outings; should have brought potential to this second chase campaign but he's not raced for a year. |
9th (9) Whistleinthedark | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Danny McMenamin | L J Morgan | Good fourth at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December but backward steps in major handicaps both starts since; latest was the 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham and that's the furthest he's been; it's possible that soft ground has been against him but he may get that again here. |
(13) Broken Halo | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Bryony Frost | Paul Nicholls | Held up; first three attempts at 3m4f/3m5f did not work out but last month he had a fourth go at it and was produced late for a tidy win at Taunton (soft); back up 5lb near career-high mark but could have more to offer in long-distance chases. |
(12) Tommie Beau | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Micheal Nolan | Seamus Mullins | Won regional Nationals over 3m4f/3m5f at Fakenham, Sedgefield and Fontwell, the last two in small fields in the mud last autumn; never better than on last two starts when placed in the Sussex National at Plumpton and the 4m1f Eider (third to Anglers Crag) at Newcastle, but to win this requires a fair bit better still. |
(26) We'llhavewan | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Kieran Callaghan | W P Mullins | December's hurdle win saw him 5-4 favourite when returned to chasing (first time since 2022) off a lower mark for Grand National Trial at Punchestown (3m3f, heavy) in February and he came 16l second of 15; needs better than that but took a backward step when 26l sixth under Kieran Callaghan in the Irish National itself (3m5f, heavy) 19 days ago; 5lb out of the handicap. |
10th (15) Autonomous Cloud | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Jonathan Burke | Fergal O'Brien | Both chase wins were over 3m in the mud at Uttoxeter; bled from the nose in the Welsh National at Christmas; back in serious contention when next seen in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter (4m2f, heavy; tongue tied first time) five weeks ago but ran out of steam behind three of these approaching the final fence and, although this race is a bit shorter, that performance leaves him with a bit to prove. |
(4) Beauport | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Jordan Nailor | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Nearly always ridden by Jordan Nailor; barely went a yard in Warwick's Classic Chase in January but he was second at Sandown (3m4f, heavy) the time before and in top form to win the Midlands National from Mr Incredible at Uttoxeter (4m2f, heavy) five weeks ago; up 5lb today but clearly a force in these long-distance races on his day. |
8th (8) Iron Bridge | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Jonjo O'Neill Jr | Jonjo O'Neill | Remote second in the Welsh National (near 3m7f, heavy) and back in top form when third at Haydock (near 3m5f, heavy) next time; pulled up in his other two starts this term, latest when Midlands National favourite (signs of post-race heat stress); 4m should suit but this season presents rather a mixed story. |
2nd (20) Surrey Quest | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Kevin Brogan | Toby Lawes | Ended his time with Nicky Henderson under a cloud but emerged for new yard with wins in October and December; the latter followed wind surgery and came at Newbury (3m2f, soft; furthest he's been) where he emerged best in a fine scrap as the first two drew well clear; this 5lb higher mark may well underestimate that performance but he needs to bounce back from a disappointing show at Doncaster in January. |
1st (11) Macdermott | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Danny Mullins | W P Mullins | 6yo who's had only nine races; sent chasing this term, easily best of his five chase runs when upped markedly to 3m on latest start and winning by 12l from the front in a nine-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (heavy); has a much higher mark today and he'd be the first 6yo to win this since Earth Summit 30 years ago, but that latest display showed major staying potential. |
7th (10) Ballygrifincottage | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Acts on soft; fourth in the 3m Grade 1 novice hurdle at 2022 Cheltenham Festival; mostly chasing since and failed to beat a rival in four runs in 2023 but he's been working his way back to form in his two runs this year, second at Sandown (3m) latest; back up 3lb but going beyond 3m1f for the first time is an attractive move. |
(1) Stay Away Fay | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | Acts on soft; a leading staying novice hurdler last term and the same as a novice chaser this season, although he did not show it with first-time cheekpieces at Cheltenham Festival last month (scoped dirty); tops the weights after his Graded events but a win today is not entirely ruled out, as it's long appeared that an outright test of stamina would suit him well. |
11th (18) My Silver Lining | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | James Best | Emma Lavelle | Rock solid this term, showing herself in a particularly favourable light with serious stamina tests in the mud for major handicaps at Warwick (won), Haydock (second) and Uttoxeter (third to Beauport and Mr Incredible) on last three outings; had a clear lead for most of the closing stages last time (4m2f, heavy) and another bold show would not surprise under this 2lb higher mark. |
(22) Whacker Clan | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Rachael Blackmore | Henry De Bromhead | Progressive last year, making all at Tramore (2m5f, soft) in August and Cheltenham (3m1f, good to soft) in October; returned to Cheltenham last month for the Kim Muir (3m2f, soft) and made most, finishing third of 22 but he was 18l behind the runner-up Git Maker, so needs to step up on that and it's the furthest he's been. |
6th (6) Spanish Harlem | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Paul Townend | W P Mullins | Just 6-1 for the Martin Pipe at last year's Cheltenham Festival on handicap debut but ran poorly; back to form when third in small-field beginners chases at Gowran Park (2m4f, heavy) on last two outings and going beyond 2m4f may well be overdue, but those runs are no proof that he can cut it in this very different race; tongue-tie (worn on debut) is back on. |
(14) Mr Vango | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Ben Jones | Mrs Sara V Bradstock | Upped to nearly 3m7f for the Devon National at Exeter (heavy) in February and made all to win by 60l; that's not the easiest form to pinpoint (he has a 15lb higher mark today) and he did not reproduce it when third to a runaway winner in the NH Chase at Cheltenham (3m6f, heavy; first-time cheekpieces) 18 days later, but this very lightly raced 8yo could have more to give. |
(16) Anglers Crag | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Henry Brooke | Brian Ellison | Had wind surgery last August and is 4-4 for his new yard since; first three of those were over about 3m-3m2f on good to soft but he coped admirably with a move up to 4m1f on heavy in the Eider at Newcastle last time, confidently ridden to challenge three out and to overcome an error two out by getting up close home; up another 8lb but remains capable of better and may well extend his winning sequence. |
(2) Mr Incredible | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Mr P W Mullins | W P Mullins | Placed in major handicaps on his three completions for this yard and the three non-completions weren't his fault, hampered when unseating at the Chair at Aintree last week (10-1); towards rear at the time having been very slow to stride following the standing start; that was four weeks after his Midlands National second (4m2f, heavy) which came after 336 days off; connections thought he'd improve fitness-wise after that run but now it remains to be seen how he's come out of last week's race. |
(17) Inis Oirr | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | 7yo who's in his first season chasing; upped in trip and switched to front-running with a first-time visor in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh 11 weeks ago and he took the field apart, moving 21l clear in the closing stages; that was over an extended 3m7f on good to soft, but he has been placed on soft; up 14lb today but that latest performance could hardly have been more authoritative. |
3rd (19) Git Maker | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Gavin Sheehan | Jamie Snowden | Mastered Whacker Clan two out in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, soft) five weeks ago and beat him 18l into third, facing an impossible task however against Inothewayurthinkin who has since added an impressive Grade 1 novice win at Aintree; has never been further than that big-race second over 3m2f but has had entries in major staying handicaps and may well be suited by today's test. |
The British trainers' championship has seemingly added plenty to this field and Macdermott, despite his age and inexperience, may be the best option in a multi-faceted Mullins challenge. Meanwhile, Paul Nicholls provides a high-profile topweight in Stay Away Fay, plus a second string with possibilities in Broken Halo, and Dan Skelton has an interesting each-way candidate in Ballygrifincottage. Top of the list, however, are ANGLERS CRAG (nap), who has been going from strength to strength and has proved his stamina, ahead of Git Maker, who ran so well in the Kim Muir, and Inis Oirr who won by a street in the Edinburgh National. Tough mare My Silver Lining just has to be given a mention.[Richard Austen]
Race 225: 15:40 Turffontein Next Turffontein Racemeeting Thursday 25 April Mr 80 Handicap(Open) SAF 6f - All Turffontein Races
1st (5) Grape Shot | | | | | 3 | M V'Rensburg | M F De Kock | Well beaten fifth of nine at Vaal Classic 16 days ago; has been eased in the weights; she is the only filly here |
(10) Walled Garden | | | | | 4 | N Klink | J A Soma | Some way behind the fourth, Munchkin, in a handicap (Vaal Classic) when beaten 13l into last 16 days ago (wore blinkers); now competing off a lower mark; facing a tougher assignment this time, is passed over |
(12) Miraculous Man | | | | | 4 | M K Katjedi | G J Maroun | Last of eight in a handicap last month on debut outing for new trainer (Vaal); this only his second handicap start; facing a tougher assignment this time, unlikely to trouble the principals |
(9) Mescal | | | | | 4 | C Maujean | F Bronkhorst | All wins have come going right handed but hasn't won for a while; upped to 7f in a handicap last month (Vaal) when beaten a fair way (22l); unlikely to make a serious impact as facing a tougher assignment this time |
(11) Calida | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | W C Marwing | Struggled a bit in handicaps recently and generally modest form since maiden plate success at Turffontein Inside in September; couldn't land a blow when tenth of 11 in a handicap here 51 days ago; edging down the ratings; useful partnership with this jockey, back together here; this represents a step up in class so hard enough to fancy |
(1) Super Awesome | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | R R Magner | Finished last of six here two months ago |
3rd (4) John Wick | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | F P Habib | Struggled a bit in handicaps recently; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (4l) over this trip (handicap) last month in reapplied blinkers; the assessor relents a little |
(3) Bob | | | | | 3 | C Habib | A P Peter | Opened account (over this trip, Turffontein Standside) when landing maiden plate by a head in February; first run in a handicap; ought to be in the mix |
(8) Circus Lights | | | | | 4 | S Sosibo | G J Maroun | A course-and-distance winner; not beaten too far when second (this trip Turffontein Inside, handicap) last month; some hopes despite having more on his plate |
(6) Fast Duty | | | | | 4 | K A Brewer | S T Pettigrew | Finished fourth dropped to this distance in a handicap five weeks ago; brings winning form over course and distance to the table |
2nd (7) Munchkin | | | | | 4 | R Danielson | M N Houdalakis | Has been consistent of late and not too far away when seen at this course last month; finished fourth but only beaten 2l in a handicap two weeks ago at Vaal Classic; sets clear standard if replicating most recent run |
(2) Turbo Power | | | | | 4 | K Matsunyane | S G Tarry | Been running well of late; not beaten far when runner-up (this distance Turffontein Standside, handicap) last month; should not be far away |
MUNCHKIN is a strong pick. He has been running consistently well of late. Circus Lights has run well previously over this course and distance while Turbo Power will go well if repeating the sort of form they showed last time out, and Bob should be in the shake-up.

(12) Unmistakeable | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Duran Fentiman | Tim Easterby | Half-sister to 7.4f turf/1m AW winner Revoquable (RPR 66); dam 7f/1m winner (100), half-sister to 5f winner First Bombardment out of 5f/6f 2yo winning half-sister to smart 5f winner Flanders (dam of 6f Group 1 winner G Force); would be a rare winning newcomer for the stable. |

(9) Money Pockets | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Luke Morris | Martin Dunne | March foal by Harry Angel; half-sister to 5f-7f AW winner Iesha (including 2yo; RPR 64); dam 6f AW 2yo/1m turf winner (83), half-sister to 5f 2yo winner Sun Ship and 7f AW winner Catbang out of useful 1m winner; stable hasn't had many 2yo runners, but did have one go in first time at Wolverhampton (16-1) last September. |
2nd (10) Naana's Diamond | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Kieran O'Neill | Alice Haynes | March foal by Invincible Army; unraced dam out of French 1m 2yo Listed winner, is granddaughter of US 6f-7.5f dirt/turf winner; yard can get one ready first time and interesting to see how she fares in the market, particularly in relation to stablemate Innocent Settler. |
1st (8) Miss Lamai | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Shane Gray | K R Burke | March foal by Mehmas; 90,000euros foal; 115,000gns yearling; half-sister to winners Seismic Spirit (US 6f/6.5f) and Spirit Of Camelot (Australian 5f); dam 7f winner (RPR 76), half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner One For Bobby out of 7f Listed winner; stable has a good record with 2yos first time out and market confidence should be heeded. |
(5) Innocent Settler | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Jason Hart | Alice Haynes | April foal by Sioux Nation; 16,000euros foal; 32,000euros yearling; first foal; dam 24-race maiden, runner-up 7f 2yo (RPR 77), half-sister to 1m1f 2yo Group 3 winner Flying Visit out of 7f-10.4f winner; tongue tied on debut, but the stable can get them ready first time; yard also runs Naana's Diamond. |

(4) Indication Ember | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Sam James | Grant Tuer | 22-1 when beaten just over a length into third of 15 in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, soft) four weeks ago; possibly not a vintage renewal, but the fourth has won since and her experience will be invaluable with her opponents all newcomers. |
The market should be interesting with regard to the newcomers. Of that group the 130,000gns yearling Li Ban is interesting, especially with the stable having already struck with a 2yo newcomer this season, while the 115,000gns yearling Miss Lamai also represents a stable that often gets them ready first time. However, INDICATION EMBER ran well to finish third of the 15 runners in the Brocklesby and that experience should stand her in good stead.[David Bellingham]

2nd (3) Mia Grande | | | | | 3 | Mlle A Massin | Chirurgien (S) | Third in a Conditions race Lyon-La Soie over 18oom on the 24 of March. The latest two races have been third. Debut on grass and could suit |
4th (9) Vega | | | | | 3 | D Provost | Y Barberot | On debut was 6th in a Conditions race at Pornichet-La Baule over 1700m on the 27 of March. Has scope to improve and can have a say |
1st (10) Pebblesshinybright | | | | | 3 | H Journiac | Y Barberot | Good third in a Conditions race at this track over 1800m on the 22 of March. She has sufficient means to fight for the victory |
3rd (5) Silver Spur | | | | | 3 | S Maillot | N Clement | Disappointing 7th in a Conditions race Chantilly over 1800m on the 14 of November. Trying the grass for the first time and was a runner-up on debut. |
(1) Intisar | | | | | 3 | S Chuette | M Delzangles | Was 7th in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 2000m on the 21 of March. Dropping in the distance and can improve on the debut effort |
(2) Bustopher Jones | | | | | 3 | S Vogt | Mme C Whitfield | A modest 7th on debut in a Conditions race at Lyon-La Soie over 2150m on the 6 of April. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(4) Mill Lane | | | | | 3 | L Boisseau | M Rosseel | Not disgraced whenthird in a Conditions race at Mons over 1500m on the 25 of March. Improved in the latest effort and will need to confirm |
(6) Two O'Clock Jump | | | | | 3 | M Nobili | N Clement | Finished 7th in a Conditions race at this track over 1800m on the 22 of March. Has scope to improve and can play a role |
(7) Native Pearl | | | | | 3 | A Madamet | C Laffon-Parias | Finished 5th in a Conditions race at Chantilly over 1600m on the 5 of March. Entered in the Poule dEssai and Prix de Diane (Gr1) and faces a much easier task |
(8) Sahara Gold | | | | | 3 | L Rousseau | H A Pantall | Did not show much when 10th in a Conditions race at Chantilly over 1600m on the 28 of March. Moderate debut effort and must improve on that |
(11) Fashionably | | | | | 3 | C Belmont | A Fabre | Fourth in a Conditions race at this track over 1800m on the 22 of March. She made her debut on this track and was just behind PEBBLESSHINYBRIGHT (10). Can go close |
(12) Eurasienne | | | | | 3 | E Corallo | C Ferland | Finished 8th in a Conditions race at Toulouse over 2100m on the 4 of March. Yet to show and others are preferred |
(13) Wild N'Beautiful | | | | | 3 | L Wolff | P Vovcenko | A 3-year-old colt by Jimmy Two Times out of Wild Angel who makes his debut. Watch the betting |
(14) Freeze | | | | | 3 | H Boutin | H Blume | A 3-year-old gelding by Toronado out of Fair Breeze who makes his debut. Watch the betting |
(15) Careless | | | | | 3 | S Breux | Cjm Wolters | 3-year-old filly by Manduro out of Meerschweinchen who makes her debut. Watch the betting |
FASHIONABLY (11) finished an encouraging 4th on debut on this course and is likely to fight for victory, as improvement is expected with the benefit of that experience under the belt. NATIVE PEARL (7) has Group I entries to her name and is, despite two disappointing previous outings, ought to acquit herself competitively in a race of this nature. Runner-up to the excellent Calandagan on debut, SILVER SPUR (5) has legitimate claims too on his reappearance having been gelded. PEBBLESSHINYBRIGHT (1

(12) Spartan Times | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Liam Keniry | Sophie Leech | 200-1, well-beaten ninth of 12 on Kempton debut (7f, AW) this month. |
(5) Glam Squad | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Callum Shepherd | Charlie Fellowes | 66-1 when beating one home at Newmarket (7f, good) last August in his only start for William Jarvis; gelded since; hard to fancy on debut for new stable. |
(4) Ganton | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Brian Meehan | 31,000euros yearling; first foal; dam Scandinavian Listed placed 1m-1m4f winner, half-sister to German 1m/1m1f Listed winner Angelita out of German 1m (2yo)/1m3f (Listed) winner Angel Dragon; stable has only the occasional 3yo go in first time. |
(10) Sense Of Reason | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Finley Marsh | Charlie Fellowes | /Dam French 1m4f winner, sister to 1m winner Storybook, half-sister to Dubai World Cup winner African Story out of Listed-placed 6f 2yo winning daughter of US 1m1f Grade 1 winner Danish; stable doesn't have many 3yos win first time, but did have one go in at Wolverhampton (well backed) a week ago. |
(14) Waistcoat | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Alec Voikhansky | Richard Hannon | Well-held fifth in both starts, including on stable debut at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago; one of three for yard; looks one for handicaps after this. |
(8) Paradoxical | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Daniel Muscutt | Sylvester Kirk | 125-1 and missed the break when sixth of nine on his debut here (7f, good) last July; may need more time and a bit further. |
(11) Sheila's Paradise | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Sean Levey | Richard Hannon | First foal; dam placed at 1m/1m2f (RPR 74), closely related to 1m winner Sparkling Crystal out of useful 7f 2yo winner, is granddaughter of Lancashire Oaks winner State Crystal; triple-handed stable has won this race a couple of times in recent years. |
(7) Miletus | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Jamie Spencer | Charles Hills | 140,000euros yearling; 15-2 when fifth of seven on his Newmarket debut (7f, good to firm) last September; winners have come out of that race and there should be improvement to come, but others make greater appeal in this. |
2nd (13) Under Siege | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Daniel Tudhope | Andrew Balding | 185,000euros yearling; first foal; dam multiple 5f/6f winner (including 2yo/AW; RPR 102), half-sister to winners Pranceleya (6f/7f 2yo) and Kyllach Me (6f) out of maiden close relative of 6f 2yo Group 1 winner Zoffany; stable has won this race or a division of it three times since 2019, including with a newcomer. |
(3) Galyx | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | David Probert | Jack Channon | Half-brother to winners Eden Rose (1m6f-2m AW; RPR 96), Hundred Isles (1m including AW; 88), Star Blaze (1m; 86) and Saulire Star (1m4f; 66); dam 6f and 1m (Listed) 2yo winner (stayed 1m4f; 104) out of 6f 2yo winner; stable can ready a 3yo newcomer, but on balance his pedigree suggests he may be one for further. |
(6) Mamdoh | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | Owen Burrows | 100,000gns yearling; 12-1 and showed some promise when fifth of 12 on his Kempton debut (1m, AW) this month; probably has races in him, but this looks a tough ask. |
(16) Darysina Gold | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Kieran Shoemark | Eve Johnson Houghton | Finished lame when fifth of 12 on her Kempton debut (1m, AW; 5-1) last November; probably better to come but others appeal more; stable won this with a newcomer last year. |
3rd (15) Clove Hitch | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Oisin Murphy | Andrew Balding | 725,000gns yearling; 5-6 for her debut here (6f, good) last July but ran green and ended up a well-held fifth of eight; clearly much better was expected and it will be interesting to see how she fares in the market this time for stable with a good recent record in this race; trip no problem on pedigree. |
(9) Sedgemoor | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Pat Dobbs | Richard Hannon | 18-1 when a promising second of eight on his Salisbury debut (6f, good) last August, albeit beaten nearly 10l; needs to improve to win this, but a player if he can; one of three for stable that has won this race or a division of it twice since 2018. |
(17) Pasha | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Richard Kingscote | Paul & Oliver Cole | 100,000euros yearling; out of the frame in both starts for the Meades over 7f last September, albeit beaten only just over 3l when sixth of 17 at Newmarket (good to firm) on the second occasion; makes her debut for her new yard after seven months off and may be one for handicaps after this. |
4th (1) Amphius | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | William Buick | Harry Charlton | Brother to winners Sangarius (7f-1m2f including 2yo/AW/Group 3; RPR 115) and Greek Order (1m/1m2f; 107), half-brother to three winners including Hydros (1m; 95); dam French 8.7f winner, half-sister to 1m2f Group 1 winner Romantica; plenty to like on breeding and stable had a winning 3yo newcomer at Lingfield last week. |
1st (2) Economics | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | William Haggas | 160,000gns yearling; 11-1 when a rallying fourth of 13 on Newmarket debut (7f, heavy) last November; the first three have all won since (the runner-up at Newmarket on Tuesday) and this Derby/Dante entry has to be high on the list for stable that has won this race or a division of it twice since 2017. |
The market is likely to be highly significant. Of those making their debuts, Amphius and Under Siege are perhaps the most interesting, while the latter's trainer Andrew Balding (who has a fine recent record in this race) also fields an interesting contender in Clove Hitch, of whom much better was expected on last summer's debut here if the betting was anything to go by. Sedgemoor showed enough on last August's Salisbury debut to suggest races will be won, but it's hard to get away from ECONOMICS who showed plenty of promise when fourth on last November's Newmarket debut. The first three have all won since, the runner-up back at Newmarket on Tuesday.[David Bellingham]
Race 229: 15:55 Curragh Tote.ie Alleged Stakes (Group 3) IRE 1m 2f - All Curragh Races
(8) The Shadow Lingers | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jack Kearney | Luke Comer | Was 66-1 when easily winning 1m AW maiden on debut in February; ordinary form though (runner-up rated in mid-60s) so readily opposed up in grade and trip. |
(7) Serious Challenge | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Rory Cleary | J S Bolger | Maiden winner at two and ran several good races in defeat in stakes company last term; creditable comeback under hefty weight in Irish Lincoln but weakened tamely in Listed contest at Naas six days later. |
(2) Mashhoor | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Prominent racer had productive campaign last term including Listed and Group 3 victories on good ground here; finished behind White Birch in Leopardstown Group 3 on final outing in September and heavy ground a definite concern. |
(4) Helvic Dream | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Chris Hayes | Noel Meade | Mudlark won Group 1 here in 2021; has had physical issues and hasn't come close to that form for some time although was Listed-placed over 1m4f here in November; been hurdling since and fair to say he's been underwhelming in that sphere given his Flat rating; race fitness a plus but doubt it'll be enough. |
4th (6) Raise You | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Mikey Sheehy | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Smart horse but 8yo hasn't been seen since finishing fifth in Irish St Leger in 2022; won stakes races at 1m4f/1m6f earlier that season; has won off a break and goes on heavy but this is quite an ask after such an absence; hooded. |
(3) Crypto Force | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | David Egan | Adrian Murray | Smart 2yo for Michael O'Callaghan; beat Auguste Rodin in course maiden on debut and won the Beresford Stakes over 1m (yielding) when last seen in September 2022; unraced for the Gosdens and now steps up in trip on stable debut; every chance of staying 1m2f on pedigree but stiff task after such an absence. |
(1) Greenland | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Improved on juvenile form last year when he raced exclusively in France; Group 3 winner on soft at Saint-Cloud (10.5f) on second start of the campaign; after midsummer break, beaten 3l by subsequent Arc winner Ace Impact at Deauville before lesser effort in Prix Niel over 1m4f, although he has shaped a few times like he wants that trip; open to more improvement but perhaps after he has this run under his belt. |
2nd (5) Maxux | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Dylan Browne McMonagle | Joseph Patrick O'Brien | Unraced at two and just the four starts in fillies-only company last year, winning a Gowran maiden on debut and career-best when readily landing 1m1f Fairyhouse Group 3 in September; unraced on worse than yielding and this will be tougher against some hardy boys. |
3rd (9) Village Voice | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | All three wins on soft or heavy including Navan Listed contest on last year's return; well beaten third to Maxux at Fairyhouse before snaring 10.5f Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in October; bit to find on ratings but may not be far away if near her best. |
1st (10) White Birch | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Colin Keane | John Joseph Murphy | Really good start to last season, winning heavy-ground Group 3 at Leopardstown on first start, second in Dante and running-on third in Derby; bombed out in Irish Derby before running respectably in Leopardstown Group 3; might be better over 1m4f but the one to beat on the figures if back to his best. |
A lot of these have a similar chance on ratings with White Birch the one with a bit in hand in that respect. He's a leading contender if they've got him back to his best but VILLAGE VOICE, a winner on her return last term, will enjoy conditions and is preferred. Greenland and Crypto Force are respected but might come on for the run. [Mark Nunan]

2nd (11) Big Unit | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Fair effort when beaten 2½l in an open race (over 7f here) 14 days ago with two of these rivals behind; should go well |
(7) Moonacres | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | Scored by just under 2l (open race) last month, breaking his duck here over 7f; a likely player |
(3) Carriacou | | | | | 4 | C Zackey | A E Sands | Creditable fourth last month here; you have to go back a long way to find his only win; one to be interested in as has shown signs of promise |
(9) Le Legionnaire | | | | | 3 | B R Fayd'Herbe | D A McLachlan | Claimed a first CD win last month when successful by just under 2l |
3rd (2) Fly Futura | | | | | 3 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Produced a good effort to finish third (over 1m2f here) latest; has to be considered |
This is not a race for maximum stakes but FLY FUTURA is the one to keep on side. He is a course winner. Carriacou is possibly starting to look exposed, All About Ronnie is capable of running well, and the otherwise interesting Big Unit has a stamina query to answer at this trip.
Race 231: 16:00 Bangor-on-Dee weatherbysshop.co.uk Handicap Hurdle (0-110) (4) 4yo+ GB 2m 3f 123y - All Bangor-on-Dee Races
(15) Iron Heart | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Sean Bowen | Peter Bowen | 2-13 over hurdles, the latter win gained in a seller in autumn 2022; belied 80-1 odds when keeping-on fourth at Taunton (2m3f, soft; first-time visor) last month but others have much more convincing profiles. |
(14) Konfusion | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Nick Scholfield | Sue Smith | Not beaten far when third of five on hurdle debut in summer 2022 but returned from long absence with two very underwhelming runs in January (2m-2m1f); still unexposed but needs to take a big step forward on handicap debut. |
(8) Malpas | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Theo Gillard | Donald McCain | Without a win since 2022 and evidently not as good as he was but ran game race in defeat over fences here (2m1f, heavy) in February and will be suited by today's less testing ground; could have a say. |
(6) Lily Glitters | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Alice Stevens | Henry Daly | Four-time hurdle winner (3m-3m1f); back down to a workable mark and drying ground will aid her cause but she ended 2023 with two heavy defeats over fences and may find today's trip a bit sharp; had wind op during four-month break. |
(7) Tregele | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | David Bass | Kim Bailey | Dropped out quickly at Plumpton last month and needs to prove his wellbeing here but significant positive can be drawn from his handicap debut in January and he remains lightly raced. |
(2) Thank You Ma'am | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Miss Olive Nicholls | Georgina Nicholls | Well beaten in valuable novices' handicap at Sandown last month but was placed four consecutive times beforehand, including when close second on handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, soft); back in calmer waters here and a likely contender. |
(4) Blazing Soldier | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Jamie Hamilton | Mark Walford | Finished tired on heavy ground at Carlisle in February but caused 16-1 surprise on rules debut at Newcastle (2m1f, soft) in January and remains unexposed; makes handicap debut here; can't be ruled out. |
(5) Queshi Bridge | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Ciaran Gethings | Alastair Ralph | Ex-Irish mare who returned from long absence with two good efforts at Ludlow for new stable this year (2m5f/2m); didn't get very far at Hereford on Sunday but has possibilities if all goes to plan here. |
(13) Kapamazov | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Ben Poste | James Evans | 0-6 over hurdles; both runs for new stable this year (2m4f/2m) were very respectable but he needs to find something extra here and others have more pressing claims. |
2nd (9) Thankyourluckystar | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Jay Tidball | Alastair Ralph | Now back on same mark as when winning on handicap debut at Ludlow (2m, good) last March but is yet to strike form after three starts this season (remote when second on latest outing) and needs to up his game. |
1st (3) Galunggung | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Seen only twice again since winning Irish point debut in 2021 but his hurdling debut in January 2023 was very promising and he returned from his latest absence with a narrow win at Hexham (2m, heavy) last month; up in trip for handicap debut; should have more to offer. |
3rd (1) Yealand | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Luke Scott | Jennie Candlish | 2-4 since moving into handicaps, and was one of two to pull a long way clear of the others when scoring at Haydock (2m3f, soft) last month; another 6lb higher here but good 5lb claimer Luke Scott is enlisted; respected. |
(12) Elle Est Beau | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Kielan Woods | Dan Skelton | Disappointing favourite when upped to 3m last month and now 0-6 over hurdles but held narrow lead before last-flight fall at Sandown (2m4f, soft) two starts ago and has obvious claims if judged on that performance. |
(11) Finn Lough | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Toby Wynne | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Won on Irish point debut in March 2023 and has displayed promise in three 2m hurdles this season; raced a bit too freely on latest outing but is open to improvement in handicaps and ought to be suited by today's step up in trip; had wind op in January. |
4th (10) Far Sight | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Paul O'Brien | Harry Derham | Unexposed 7yo who made promising handicap debut when third at Sandown (2m, soft) for the Hobbs and Johnson stable last March; not seen again since but it will be very interesting to see what Harry Derham can do with him. |
Quite a few of these warrant consideration in a fairly competitive race for the grade but the most interesting one is unexposed 7yo FAR SIGHT, who made a very promising handicap debut for another stable just over a year ago and now represents a trainer with an excellent strike-rate. Yealand has made good progress in recent months and is feared most, while Elle Est Beau has strong claims if judged on her penultimate run.[Chris Wilson]
Race 232: 16:03 Enghien Prix De La Ville D'eaubonne (argonne) - Attele - All Enghien Races
3rd (1) Die Hard | | | | | 5 | E Raffin | H E Bondo | Was going well when sanctioned in late-March race of reference. Just front shoes off this time and, reunited with Eric Raffin, can start to come good again |
4th (10) Dardo Zack | | | | | 5 | M Abrivard | M Abrivard | Showed improvement when 2nd of 6 in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class A 8 days ago. Won under these conditions last summer and looks a major player |
2nd (3) Destino D.J. | | | | | 5 | P Ph Ploquin | H E Bondo | Finished nicely to come 4th of 15 in a tough 2850m Vincennes Class B 8 days ago. Takes a step up in category and will be competitive for a place in the frame |
1st (14) Jazzman Debailleul | | | | | 5 | F Nivard | E Szirmay | Like a horse reborn since last autumn, winning 4 of last 5, most recently a 2850m Vincennes Class B with consummate ease. Fitted with pads this time but still the pick of the field |
(2) Daytona Di Cecco | | | | | 5 | J Ch Piton | Vitale Ciotola | Disappointing on the whole this year, latterly sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes monte Class D 3 weeks ago, and has no possible chance |
(4) Jamaica D'Aurcy | | | | | 5 | N Bazire | J M Bazire | Sanctioned, when well-backed, in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.2 a week ago. Is not devoid of ability and can play a role if she stays focused |
(5) Dubhe Prav | | | | | 5 | L Cl Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | Sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class B 8 days ago. Has merit but is a long way from his best and others preferred |
(6) Joyce | | | | | 5 | G Junod | L Baudron | Has not been seen out for 2 months since coming last of 12, when never afforded a run, in a 2100m Vincennes Class B. Shod for re-entry though and best to wait |
(7) Just For Lova | | | | | 5 | A Lherete | Antoine Lherete | Encouraging 6th, a place behind JINGLE DELO (9) in a 2450m Caen Class B on 11 March, but still needs to show marked improvement |
(8) Jewel De Banville | | | | | 5 | Y Lebourgeois | A Chavatte | Would have finished closer than 7th in late-March race of reference had he not faulted. Is new to Enghien but receives a Yoann Lebourgeois drive and will be afforded every chance |
(9) Jingle Delo | | | | | 5 | A Barrier | J Raffegeau | 5th to JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (14) in a 2850m Vincennes Class B late last month. Is confirmed over track and trip but others still easier to back |
(11) Hnokki Speed | | | | | 5 | G Gelormini | H E Bondo | Hardy Danish trotter making French debut after winning over 2000m at Charlottenlund on 24 March. Will appreciate the Enghien profile and has the wherewithal to give JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (14) something to consider |
(12) Diamond Francis | | | | | 5 | F Lagadeuc | Vitale Ciotola | Sanctioned in both French starts this year, latterly a 2450m Caen Class B on 11 March. Races with shoes this time and is unlikely to shake things up |
(13) Jango Vici | | | | | 5 | B Rochard | A Rigo | Won a Vincennes Class A early-February but could manage only 6th of 16 in a 2700m Gr.3 there later that month. Comes here fresh, sports a proven formula, and will be no easy touch |
Since returning to racing, JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (14) has done nothing but excel and even with just front pads fitted this time, still looks the horse to beat. Franck Nivard will be justifiably wary of HNOKKI SPEED (11) who makes just his second appearance outside Scandinavia and, barefoot for the occasion with Gabriele Gelormini reining, is unlikely to disappoint. DARDO ZACK (10) showed his form under the saddle recently and will be expected to finish in the mix, as will DESTINO D.J. (3) who consi
Race 233: 16:06 Brighton Bet Boost At bet365 Handicap (0-78) (4) 4yo+ GB 5f 60y - All Brighton Races
(6) Umming N' Ahing | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | William Carson | Bill Turner | In fine form on slow ground last spring; now 4lb lower than for the third of his wins but his form tailed off last year and he was behind a couple of today's rivals on last month's return at Wolverhampton; others are more appealing. |
(4) Pop Dancer | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Pat Cosgrave | Tony Carroll | Two C&D wins to his name; not at his best the last twice and although he's on a fair mark, others look more appealing today. |
4th (5) Antiphon | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Georgia Dobie | Mike Murphy & Michael Keady | Last spring's Windsor win (5f, soft) came off a 3lb higher mark; wouldn't judge him too harshly on last month's Southwell return and he should be seen to better effect here. |
(7) Mary Of Modena | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Paddy Bradley | Michael Attwater | C&D winner; two soft-ground 5f wins last season and rounded off her 4yo campaign with a second over C&D off this mark in October; she'll need to be at concert pitch to win this back from six months off though. |
1st (9) Conquistador | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jack Doughty | Stuart Williams | Rated 24lb higher at this stage last year; disappointing for new yard over the winter but there was a bit more encouragement in a Class 6 at Chelmsford last week; type to capitalise on his lowly mark soon. |
3rd (8) Secret Handsheikh | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Kaiya Fraser | John Gallagher | Two C&D wins last year, including this race off a 1lb lower mark; down the field in two AW runs this year but not beaten far last time and he should be spot on for his repeat bid. |
(2) Skallywag Bay | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Sam Hitchcott | Richard Hannon | 3-6 on AW as opposed to 0-10 on turf but she's fully effective on the grass (including good to soft); promising return to action at Wolverhampton 19 days ago; each-way claims. |
(3) Faustus | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Ross Coakley | Robert Cowell | Won a C&D handicap off this mark last August (good ground; handles slower); probably needed this month's return to action at Wolverhampton (finished behind Skallywag Bay); visor replaces cheekpieces today; others appeal more for win purposes though. |
2nd (1) Haymaker | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Billy Loughnane | Hughie Morrison | Goes well fresh, winning on his reappearance in 2022 and running a cracker in a hot Newbury sprint last April when going off hard; won at Windsor last May off 5lb higher (6f, good to firm; handles soft); ended 2023 quietly but he's had a wind op since and this is weaker than he's used to contesting. |
Last year's winner Secret Handsheikh should be primed for this after a couple of spins on the AW, while Antiphon can leave his reappearance effort well behind him. Skallywag Bay (second choice) shaped nicely on her return at Wolverhampton 19 days ago and ought to go well but HAYMAKER is preferred. Although his form tailed off in the autumn, he goes well fresh and this race is weaker than he's accustomed to. A wind operation since last seen could help too.[Paul Smith]
Race 234: 16:10 Ayr Let Good Times Roll With Stagecoach Novices' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race) (0-135) (3) 4yo+ GB 3m 70y - All Ayr Races
1st (2) Chosen Witness | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Paul Townend | W P Mullins | Off the mark over hurdles in Thurles maiden (2m, heavy) last month and solid fourth of nine on subsequent handicap debut at Cork (2m3f, soft to heavy); the first-time hood could help him settle now up in trip and this 3m point winner has to be respected for the all-conquering Willie Mullins. |
(7) Idem | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Won last year on first two hurdle starts (2m/2m5f, good to soft/good) and fair fourth on handicap debut at Ascot (2m3f, soft) in November; bang there when falling two out at Wetherby (2m5f, soft) last month; his trainer excels with staying types and this one could be a leading player now up in trip. |
(1) Doughmore Bay | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Tom Bellamy | Emma Lavelle | Runner-up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) in January on second handicap start and improved again when filling same position at Haydock (3m, soft) three weeks ago; this progressive 6yo might not be far away. |
4th (6) President Scottie | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Danny McMenamin | Nicky Richards | Won 2m4f maiden here (2m4f, soft) in February on third hurdle start and suited by the step up in trip when following up on last month's handicap debut at Haydock (3m, soft; half the hurdles omitted); this unexposed 6yo could continue to improve and is one to consider up 5lb. |
2nd (10) Major Fortune | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Has won his last five starts (2m4f-3m1f), most recently at Lingfield (2m7f, heavy) without having to come off the bridle; his last three wins have come in small fields and he's 11lb higher than last time and in a much better race, but it remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies. |
(9) Young Jack | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Gavin Sheehan | Chris Grant | 3m point winner (good) who was second on rules debut at Newcastle (2m6f, heavy) in December and won there in February (2m4f, heavy); another good run at Newcastle when third most recently over what looked an inadequate 2m1f (heavy), and he could relish this step up in trip on handicap debut. |
(8) Milcree | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Sean Quinlan | Nicky Richards | Point-to-point bumper winner (good to soft) who ran well in defeat on first two hurdle starts (firstly over 2m5f here on soft) before easily justifying 1-4 odds at Carlisle (2m3f, heavy) a fortnight ago; makes handicap debut off a fair mark and pedigree suggests he'll improve for today's longer trip. |
3rd (3) I Love My Baie | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | Tailed off in 3m Grade 2 novice at Doncaster in January but has won either side of that, in a 2m4f novice here (soft) and a 2m3f handicap at Newbury (good to soft); stayed on well last time, when clear with one who has since gone one better, and he's well worth another crack at this trip. |
(4) Welcom To Cartries | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | 3m point winner (yielding) who went close at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November on rules debut and won there next time (2m5f, good to soft); runner-up in Grade 2 novice at Doncaster in January last time (3m, good; beaten about 8l); in excellent hands and has potential off his opening mark. |
(5) Masaccio | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Tom Cannon | Alan King | Kept on for fifth in Grade 1 Challow at Newbury (2m4f, soft) in December and easily returned to winning ways when 1-6 in Kempton novice (2m5f, soft) in February; has a chiefly Flat pedigree but has shaped as though he might be a stayer, and he could be thereabouts now up in trip on handicap debut. |
This is a fascinating race featuring a stack of promising stayers. MILCREE has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and this very lightly raced 6yo is the selection now up in trip for his handicap debut. Lucinda Russell's stable is renowned for staying types and Idem may be the chief danger ahead of Young Jack, who also has potential now up in trip. Welcom To Cartries, President Scottie and Major Fortune also warrant respect, although cases can be made for the entire field.[Ben Hutton]
Race 235: 16:20 Thirsk Best Odds Guaranteed Daily At Vickers.Bet Handicap (0-90) (3) 3yo GB 5f - All Thirsk Races
(6) Mini Magna | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Cam Hardie | Antony Brittain | In good form last summer for Ed Dunlop, winning twice (5f/5.7f) at Bath, but in and out since, tailed off (well behind Moonstone Boy) at Southwell three weeks ago; others appear to have more potential. |
(1) G'Day Mate | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Luke Morris | Michael Appleby | 5f turf winner (yielding ground) in Ireland as 2yo for Jessica Harrington; improved on first three AW starts for Mick Appleby before finishing down the field in competitive race at Newcastle on Good Friday; may bounce back but must concede weight to some unexposed rivals. |
(5) Due For Luck | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | Raced only at 5f; won his first two 2yo starts on good ground and was unlucky not to complete a hat-trick at Chester (5f, good to soft) in September; looked a tricky ride when disappointing afterwards, including behind Curious Rover at Newcastle; needs to be revived by a break. |
(3) Midnight Lir | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Connor Beasley | Michael Dods | Two juvenile wins, latest in Hamilton nursery (5f, good to soft) in September; possibly over the top when finishing last on final start; will need another personal best to make winning reappearance but it's possible. |
2nd (7) Moonstone Boy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Andrew Mullen | Iain Jardine | A model of consistency over 5f and ran another fine race at Southwell when second of six three weeks ago; shaped well on good to soft ground three times last spring; should be in the thick of things again. |
(2) Curious Rover | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Oisin Orr | Katie Scott | Steadily progressive as 2yo, winning Haydock nursery (5f, soft) in September and running at least as well off higher marks afterwards; subsequently gelded; up another 3lb but may continue his improvement this year. |
3rd (8) Winged Messenger | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Saffie Osborne | Julie Camacho | Poorly drawn when second at Chester (6f, good to soft) last September and gained compensation at Hamilton (5f, soft) two weeks later; now moves into handicaps and retains untapped potential; very interesting if fit after nearly seven months off. |
4th (4) Sergeant Wilko | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Shane Gray | Kevin Ryan | Came to hand early last season, winning C&D maiden on soft ground, and he showed he goes well fresh with a convincing success at Newcastle (5f, AW; easily made all) on reappearance four weeks ago; 7lb rise looks fair. |
1st (10) Kendall Roy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Silvestre De Sousa | Miss Kate McGivern | Took a while to get the hang of things but he's thriving now; signed off 2yo campaign with win at Naas (5f, good/yielding) and followed up at Windsor (5f, good) on Monday by 4l under Silvestre De Sousa; well treated under a penalty; may be open to further progress and high on the list once more. |
Plenty of possibilities in a warm 3yo handicap, headed by KENDALL ROY (nap) who bolted up at Windsor on Monday and is much respected in his bid for a quick follow-up. Others to bear in mind include Winged Messenger who ended his 2yo campaign on a high, last month's Newcastle winner Sergeant Wilko and the reliable Moonstone Boy.[Richard O'Brien]
Race 236: 16:20 Le Croise-Laroche Du Vieux Lille Handicap - All Le Croise-Laroche Races
2nd (5) Waldlady | | | | | 3 | S Vogt | Mme C Whitfield | Needed her last run and finished 6th in a Conditions race at Strasbourg over 2000m on the 22 of March. Twice has been a runner-up at this track in Claimers. Might place |
3rd (2) Manoir | | | | | 3 | H Boutin | Boutin (S) | Fourth last time out in a Handicap at Pornichet-La Baule over 1700m on the 27 of March. A versatile sort who performs on the sand and grass. Should make a bid for victory |
4th (3) La Vuelta | | | | | 3 | F Valle Skar | M Guarnieri | Improving and was third in a Handicap at Compiegne over 1600m on the 29 of March. Can make the frame |
1st (6) La Tour Du Bois | | | | | 3 | S Maillot | N Clement | Fourth in a Handicap last time out at Chantilly over 1900m on the 28 of March. Improved in the latest effort and can go close |
(1) Roudoudou | | | | | 3 | L Carboni | E Thueux | Unreliable and finished 6th in a Conditions race at Chantilly over 1600m on the 16 of February. The penultimate start was decent and can be involved with the finish |
(4) Lamajestik | | | | | 3 | L Boisseau | Mme C Auvray | Probably needed the last run and was 8th in a Conditions race at Compiegne over 2000m on the 10 of March. She has been placed on this track in Claimers and can earn |
(7) Roxana Of Cecca | | | | | 3 | G Sias | F X Belvisi | Was 6th in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on the 1 of April Others are preferred in this line-up. |
(8) Jiji My Love | | | | | 3 | G Meury | F X Belvisi | Has not shown much in three starts and was 8th in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on the 1 of April. Poor form and would be a shock winner |
(9) Ihoa | | | | | 3 | A Madamet | P&f & Renaut | Disappointing last two runs and was 8th in a Handicap at Compiegne over 1600m on the 29 of March. She has experience on her side and can play a role |
(10) Paddy White Heart | | | | | 3 | H Journiac | A Sagot | Yet to win and finished 6th in a Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2000m on the 5 of April. Can play a minor role |
(11) Sweetydancer | | | | | 3 | P Cheyer | S Ghys | Disappointing two starts this year and finished 7th in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on the 16 of March. Probably needed the last start and can improve |
(12) Silver D'Artois | | | | | 3 | S Chuette | D Grandin | Has not shown much and was 7th in a Conditions race at Fontainebleau over 1400m on the 2 of April. Yet to place and others are preferred |
After finishing 4th in a tougher race on the PSF at Chantilly last time, it could pay to side with LA TOUR DU BOIS (6) who proved her efficiency on turf last year when 4th on debut at Le Pin au Haras on soft ground. She will, however, be tested by MANOIR (2) whose consistency and versatility will stand him in good stead. LA VUELTA (3) confirmed the improvement of her previous start (5th) with an encouraging 3rd last time and is likely to make her presence felt too with a repeat of that performan

3rd (7) Marhaba Million | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Richard Kingscote | Owen Burrows | 20-1 when a well-beaten ninth of 13 on his Wolverhampton debut (9.5f, AW) this month; bred to do much better at some stage, but others preferred this time. |
9th (4) Environment Amigo | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Callum Shepherd | James Fanshawe | 16-1 and always behind when fifth of six on his Southwell debut (1m3f, AW) last month, with Hidden Law second; looks one for handicaps in due course. |
10th (10) Wahoo King | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Rossa Ryan | Heather Main | 20-1 when beaten a long way on his Kempton debut (1m4f, AW) in February, with Clockwatcher second; needs to leave that effort well behind. |
7th (3) Easy Dancer | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Sean Levey | Richard Hannon | Well held in two AW maidens at Kempton (1m/1m3f) late last year; can be handicapped after this. |
4th (5) Far L'Amore | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Rob Hornby | Brian Meehan | 55,000euros yearling; half-brother to French winners First Ray (1m 2yo) and Dazzle At Dawn (1m2f); dam unplaced at 1m6f/14.7f in France, half-sister to 1m2f Group 2 winner Hanami, 1m3f Listed winner Soho Rose and 1m4f Listed winner Dubai Rose; may come on for the experience, so probably best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |
6th (9) Raja Raja | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Daniel Muscutt | David Simcock | Half-brother to 7f AW winner Chola Empire (including 2yo; RPR 85); dam 6f/7f AW winner (including 2yo; 83) out of unraced half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner Keraka and useful 7f/1m winner Keriyoun; holds a Derby entry and interesting to see what the market says, especially in relation to stablemate Clockmaker. |
2nd (1) Clockmaker | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Jamie Spencer | David Simcock | 25,000gns foal, 135,000gns yearling; first foal; dam Listed-placed 7f-1m2f winner (RPR 102), half-sister to useful 6f 2yo winner Bounce, is granddaughter of half-sister to Queen's Vase winner Arden; something to like on breeding and the market should be revealing; one of two newcomers from yard. |
5th (8) Mycoloursoryours | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Tom Marquand | Paul & Oliver Cole | Showed signs of greenness when beaten in a three-way photo on his Lingfield debut (1m2f, AW; 12-1) ten days ago; should have learnt from that and is respected for stable that won this in 2016 and 2019. |
8th (2) Clockwatcher | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | James Doyle | Charlie Johnston | Placed on the AW in both starts, improving plenty from his Chelmsford debut (1m2f) in January when beaten under a length into second of nine at Kempton (1m4f) the following month; looks the type to carry on progressing and shouldn't be far away. |
1st (6) Hidden Law | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | William Buick | Charlie Appleby | Showed signs of greenness when beaten a short head on his Southwell debut (1m3f, AW) last month; bred to be useful and every chance of going one better with the experience under his belt; stable won this in 2022. |
This is slightly more trappy as none of those with experience have raced on turf. Clockwatcher has shown ability and looks the type to carry on improving, while Mycoloursoryours went mighty close on his Lingfield debut and the stable has won this race a couple of times since 2016. However, HIDDEN LAW is bred to be useful and can gain compensation for a narrow defeat on last month's Southwell debut.[David Bellingham]
Race 238: 16:30 Curragh Visit The Irish National Stud And Gardens Irish EBF Maiden IRE 1m 2f - All Curragh Races
3rd (7) Northern Sonas | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Gary Carroll | A Oliver | Soundly beaten on sole 2yo start in Leopardstown maiden in October; gelded since; can only be watched on return. |
(3) King Of The Bronx | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Robbie Colgan | Nigel Thomas Slevin | Last on both 2yo outings, easily overlooked. |
(8) Thefutureisnow | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Scott McCullagh | Michael Hourigan | Cheaply bought Highland Reel gelding is half-brother to winners One Pekan (8.5f/1m2f; RPR 91) and Southern Storm (1m-1m2f AW; 89); dam placed in USA, sister to US 8.5f Grade 3 winner Brave Tin Soldier; newcomer likely best watched. |
(13) Sheen Falls Time | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Ronan Whelan | John S O'Donoghue | Mild promise in a heavy-ground Leopardstown 2yo maiden, well held on last month's AW return; likely more one for handicaps. |
(6) Noble Nation | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | J M Sheridan | Gerard O'Leary | Sioux Nation half-brother to eight winners inc Primo Uomo (5f inc 2yo/AW/Listed; RPR 112), Safari Sunseeker (6f/7f inc 2yo/AW; 96), Strategic Force (5f/6f AW; 92) & Crush And Run (5f-6f AW inc Qatar; 77); unraced dam out of half-sister to 5f Group 3 winner; newcomer with stamina concerns on breeding. |
(9) Valjean | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | N G McCullagh | Charles Weld | Awtaad colt is third foal of an unraced half-sister to 1m2f Listed (inc AW) winner Battalion; limited appeal on breeding and best watched on debut. |
(5) Model Approach | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Rory Cleary | J S Bolger | Second foal; dam 1m2f-1m4f winner (inc AW; RPR 89), sister to 10.6f AW Listed winner Paene Magnus; just fair debut effort at Leopardstown 13 days ago, probably needs more time. |
(11) Glowing Bird | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Leigh Roche | Peter Fahey | Phoenix Of Spain filly a 40,000Euros foal but only a 15,000Euros yearling; half-sister to 1m 2yo winner Encore L'Amour (RPR 100) and 6f-1m winner Global Spirit (89); dam 1m2f winner (72), sister to US 1m1f/1m2f Grade 1 winner Ticker Tape; probably all the better for this debut run but worth a market check nonetheless. |
4th (2) Kaptain Bay | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Colin Keane | Noel Meade | New Bay colt showed mild promise (stable second-choice) on Punchestown debut in September; improvement expected this year over middle-distances. |
(12) Quilieve | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | W J Lee | Henry De Bromhead | Half-sister to several winners including yard's Triumph Hurdle winner Quixilios; not unbacked but never competitive after a tardy start on Leopardstown debut in October; should do better and no surprise if she made the frame. |
2nd (10) Bloom Vega | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Ben Coen | J P Murtagh | Lope De Vega sister to 8.3f/1m1f winner Botanical (RPR 105); dam 1m2f-1m6f winner (inc Listed; 104), closely related to 7f Group 3 winner Primo Luce, from family of high-class sprinter and broodmare Cassandra Go; nicely-bred debutante, worth a market check. |
(4) Maharajjah | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Shane Foley | Mrs John Harrington | Rajj half-brother to winners Isle Of Lismore (5f/6f inc 2yo; RPR 92), Espresso Freddo (7f/1m inc AW; 85), Swinley Forest (1m AW; 80) and By Royal Approval (6f-8.7f inc AW/Italy; 75); dam placed 7f 2yo (63), half-sister to 6f Group 2 winner; newcomer bred for shorter trips, probably best watched. |
1st (1) Chemistry | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Ryan Moore | A P O'Brien | Kingman half-brother to three winners, including Listed scorer Joie De Soir; dam unraced daughter of 1m2f Group 1 winner; blinkered, stable second-choice on Naas debut in October, slow to break and green but showing definite promise when staying-on third over 1m; sure to appreciate this step up in trip and likely major contender in what looks an ordinary maiden for the venue. |
Little strength in depth for a maiden at this venue and likely a good opportunity for CHEMISTRY, who should relish this step up in trip. Kaptain Bay, Quilieve and Bloom Vega look likely place prospects. [Alan Hewison]
Race 239: 16:35 Kenilworth Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 5(Open. Benchmark at 60.0kg = 66) SAF 7f - All Kenilworth Races
(9) Gold Index | | | | | 4 | D Ashby | L Gila | Just a sole success to his name; last of nine (this trip, here, open race) 35 days ago on his second start for this trainer; something to find with Liketheclappers (second) on that performance; he's hard to fancy |
(3) Ilha Da Mauricia | | | | | 4 | C Bantam | L Gila | Towards the rear of 13 over this distance here (fillies race) last Saturday; not really built on success in a fillies maiden plate last May at Fairview; others more likely |
(6) Phantomoftheforest | | | | | 5 | M Mjoka | L Gila | Beaten just over 4l when fourth of 11 but didn't run badly at 66-1 in an open race (over 6f here) two weeks ago on his second outing for this trainer; just a sole success to his name; he can be taken on |
(1) Morning Chess | | | | | 3 | M Winnaar | L Gila | Some way behind the fourth, Kebonalesedi, in an open race (C&D) when beaten 7l (seventh of 13) last month; sole career win came on all-weather; can be taken on |
3rd (10) Lady Loxton | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Narrow winner (SP 9-2) of an open race latest, gaining her first success (over 6f here); respected |
2nd (4) Hang Out The Stars | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | J M T Stewart | Beaten 3½l when sixth of ten but didn't run badly at 2-1 over C&D latest; likely to be in contention |
(7) Kelp Forest | | | | | 4 | A Domeyer | A N Marcus | Not beaten that far (5l, went off 7-1, open race) 25 days ago (over 6f here); in the mix if replicating form of his win at Kenilworth four months ago |
(2) Liketheclappers | | | | | 5 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Ran well to finish runner-up (beaten just over 2l) over this distance here (open race) last month, race has produced two next-time-out winners; can figure |
1st (5) Kebonalesedi | | | | | 4 | C Zackey | A E Sands | Not disgraced when fourth (this trip Kenilworth, open race) last month; capable of making an impact if reproducing the form of his win at Kenilworth in February |
(8) World Of Pleasure | | | | | 2 | B R Fayd'Herbe | V H Marshall | CD winner including when successful by 3½l six weeks ago; gets an age allowance; big run looks on the cards |
Kebonalesedi should put up plenty of resistance while Lady Loxton is considered although might not get the trip. But WORLD OF PLEASURE is a firm choice. He has won once over this CD.
Race 240: 16:35 Bangor-on-Dee Nightingale House Hospice 'Junior' National Hunt Flat Race (Category 1 Elimination) (GBB Race) GB 2m 145y - All Bangor-on-Dee Races
4th (14) Alexandra Larose | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Sean Bowen | Georgina Nicholls | From a good jumping family and arguably shaped with more promise than eventual 22l defeat might suggest when fourth of seven at Stratford (heavy) last month; could quite plausibly get closer to the target if better suited by the less testing ground here. |
3rd (8) Romeo Foxtrot | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Kielan Woods | Jo Davis | £3,200 3yo; 11th foal; brother to bumper winner Vanilla Dancer, half-brother to four other winners; dam 7f 2yo winner; stable 0-17 in bumpers during last five seasons. |
(3) Captain Trigger | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Liam Harrison | Robbie Llewellyn | Eighth foal; half-brother to four winners including very useful staying chaser Captain Cattistock and useful jumper King's Threshold; dam unraced sister to a useful jumper; with up-and-coming yard; market may guide. |
(1) Aceofadiamond | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Nick Scholfield | Ella Pickard | 14th foal; half-brother to seven winners including useful Irish bumper/hurdle winners Mumbo Jumbo and Mumbo Bay; dam unraced; stable 4-27 in bumpers during last five seasons; a possible. |
(2) Bongo Man | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Richie McLernon | Paul Webber | First foal; dam useful hurdler/chaser for same stable; trainer has very modest 1-53 strike-rate in bumpers during last five seasons. |
(13) Willow Caught | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Ben Bromley | Chris Down | 32,000euros 3yo; eighth foal; brother to point/bumper/smart jumps winner Black Op, half-brother to 2m7f hurdle winner April's Moon; dam unraced half-sister to bumper/smart hurdle winner Younevercall; stable not known for success in bumpers. |
(5) Full Of Secrets | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jonathan England | Sam England | First foal; dam triple bumper winner and third in 1m4f Listed Flat race, half-sister to Australian 1m2f Group 1 winner Harlem; stable not known for bumper winners but this newcomer has the right type of pedigree. |
(9) Saffin Storm | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Ciaran Gethings | Alastair Ralph | 29,000euros 3yo; first foal; unraced dam half-sister to useful Irish hurdler Western Honour; stable has fair bumper strike-rate; worth a glance in the betting. |
(11) Walden | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Lewis Stones | Tom Weston | Out of a French Flat winner; raced a bit too freely but still displayed significant promise when fifth of 12 at Taunton (soft) last month; needs to build on that performance here. |
(6) Moon Over Clyro | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Charlotte Jones | James Moffatt | Fourth foal; half-brother to useful hurdler Nightboattoclyro and fair hurdler/chaser No Tackle; dam bumper/hurdle/chase winner, sister to bumper/useful jumps winner Wychwoods Brook; yard does very well in bumpers (23% strike-rate). |
2nd (7) Mythical Moon | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Brian Hughes | Alan King | Half-brother to bumper/hurdle winner Gitche Gumee; dam bumper/hurdle winner; raced too freely and made underwhelming debut when seventh of nine at Kempton (soft) in February; needs to have learned from that experience. |
(12) Walk With Charisma | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Stan Sheppard | Tom Lacey | 13th foal; closely related to bumper/fair hurdle winner Norton Hill, half-brother to useful jumper Westren Warrior and bumper winner Meep Meep; dam unraced sister to useful jumper Feathered Leader; stable has healthy strike-rate in bumpers (12%); no surprise if he features on debut. |
(10) Shady Wadey | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | David Bass | Kim Bailey | Fifth foal; half-brother to useful jumper Sarasota Star, a bumper winner and an Italian Flat winner; dam unraced half-sister to a Listed-placed Flat winner; trainer does well in bumpers (16% strike-rate); one to consider. |
1st (4) Doctor Kildare | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Nicky Henderson | Out of a Listed-placed sister to high-class chaser Hinterland; raced a bit too freely and was unable to justify warm favouritism when fourth of ten at Newbury (soft) in January but that was still a promising debut, and he features prominently in calculations here. |
This is probably easier than the Newbury race in which DOCTOR KILDARE finished fourth against older horses in January and, with that experience under his belt, he looks the most obvious answer. Moon Over Clyro, Shady Wadey and Walk With Charisma (preferred in that order) are three newcomers with good credentials on paper.[Chris Wilson]
Race 241: 16:38 Enghien Prix De Tonnac-villeneuve - Attele - All Enghien Races
4th (4) Kaviarissime | | | | | 4 | G Gelormini | P H Allaire | Turned a corner winning a Gr.3 at Vincennes last month before trotting 2nd in a 2850m Class A at the same venue a fortnight ago. Takes a hike in class but still looks up to the job. First 5 chance |
3rd (5) Keenan De Joudes | | | | | 4 | J Ph Monclin | J Monclin | Trotted 2nd to KOCTEL DU DAIN (12) in Gr.2 Prix Ephrem Houel before faulting early in 2200m Gr.1 Prix de Selection at Vincennes on 2 March. Unlikely to make the same mistake twice and can play a leading role |
2nd (11) Krack Time Atout | | | | | 4 | P Ph Ploquin | S Guarato | Has not been seen out since winning Gr.1 Prix Ourasi over 2700m across town late-January. Won Gr.3 under these conditions last time here, has freshness on his side, and can apply the pressure on KOCTEL DU DAIN (12) |
1st (12) Koctel Du Dain | | | | | 4 | D Thomain | P H Allaire | Superb colt that comfortably won Gr.2 Prix Ephrem Houel over 2100m at Vincennes on 10 February. Seldom disappoints when applied and should be able to wrap this up |
(1) Kristo Bourbon | | | | | 4 | M Abrivard | E Varin | Makes first appearance since coming last of 10 in a 2100m Vincennes Class A late-December. Is barefoot for re-entry but still not an obvious choice |
(2) Knockonwood | | | | | 4 | F Nivard | R Larue | 10th of 11, behind KAVIARISSIME (4), in a 2850m Vincennes Class A 2 weeks ago and appears to need another outing |
(3) Kalmia Quick | | | | | 4 | R Derieux | P Chevrier | Untested at this level but has ability. Pleasant 6th to KAVIARISSIME (4) in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3 in early-March but still looks out of her league |
(6) Kool Des Champs | | | | | 4 | A Prat | Alexis Prat | 9th to KAVIARISSIME (4) in 2700m Gr.3 Prix Franck Anne early last month. Off the boil all year and needs to get his house in order |
(7) Kabaka De Guez | | | | | 4 | N Bazire | J M Bazire | Never dangerous 10th of 11 finishers in Gr.1 Prix Ourasi late-January. Has had time to get back in shape but has still looked a far cry from her best |
(8) Kalif Landia | | | | | 4 | B Rochard | A Grimault | Good dual-discipline colt returning to the harness code after trotting 3rd in 2200m Gr.1 Prix des Centaures at Vincennes on 2 March. Similarly configured and is not without a chance of setting the cat among the pigeons |
(9) Kristal Josselyn | | | | | 4 | M Mottier | S Guarato | Capable sort that briefly lost his way before finishing a pleasant 6th of 12 in 10 February race of reference. Has not however done enough to be considered a player |
(10) King Opera | | | | | 4 | W Bigeon | W Bigeon | Sanctioned in 2100m Gr.2 Prix Ephrem Houel at Vincennes on 10 February. Can prove a handful but goes shod this time and should not be underestimated |
An exceptional campaigner at this level, KOCTEL DU DAIN (12) made up for his Gr.1 Prix Ourasi sanction with an excellent Gr.2 Prix Ephrem Houel performance and still looks marginally better than KRACK TIME ATOUT (11) who won the Ourasi at 19/1. KEENAN DE JOUDES (5) came a cropper in the Gr.1 Prix de Selection after having run 2nd to Thomain's charge in February and looks competitive for a spot on the podium. Gr.1 winner in the other discipline, KALIF LANDIA (8) returns to the harness code with a
Race 242: 16:40 Brighton bet365 EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (For horses In Bands C And D)(EBF Qualifier) (GBB Race) GB 5f 60y - All Brighton Races
(5) Super Dino | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Lewis Edmunds | Amy Murphy | Inauspicious debut at Southwell (AW) where he finished last of eight and was well behind Coiled; combination of different surface and fitting of blinkers needs to make a big difference. |
(4) Oakley Boy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Luke Catton | Stuart Williams | Sold for £22,000 then £1,000 as a yearling; Mayson half-brother to three AW winners, out of a 6f AW winner; this newcomer may be more interesting when switched to artificial surfaces. |
1st (6) Fondest Dream | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Nicola Currie | Ollie Sangster | 32,000gns yearling; by Showcasing and the first foal of a maiden sister to smart 6f-8.6f winner Keystroke; has stronger credentials than stablemate Bob Mali; the betting should give further guidance. |
(8) Isla Bella | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Pat Cosgrave | George Boughey | 6,500gns yearling; Land Force half-sister to winners Global Acclamation (6f/7f AW) and Aussie Rocks (US 4.5f-1m dirt); not quite two years old yet; yard also runs Violet Love; follow the market signals. |
4th (9) Over Spiced | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Jack Mitchell | Tom Clover | 6,000gns foal; Adaay half-sister to Belgian winners Lady Magda (10.5f-13.5f) and Vive La Danse (10.5f-13.5f), out of 6f/7f winner (including 2yo); stable had a low strike-rate with 2yos last term. |
(1) Bob Mali | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Harry Davies | Ollie Sangster | 3,000euros foal, 16,000euros yearling; Sands Of Mali half-brother to Italian winners Bridge Dino (6f-1m) and San Pasadora (7f/1m), out of Greek 6f/7f scorer; late foal (not yet two); market instructive. |
(2) Bob The Bandit | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | William Carson | Bill Turner | Promising second in soft-ground Brocklesby; probably a tad below that form when filling same position at Wolverhampton (AW) but may benefit from this return to turf; leading player on the figures. |
3rd (3) Coiled | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Charles Bishop | Eve Johnson Houghton | Showed ability with his placed effort at Southwell (AW) and should improve, with this switch to turf looking a positive judged on pedigree; represents last year's winning yard; interesting. |
2nd (7) Violet Love | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Billy Loughnane | George Boughey | Havana Grey filly whose owner is a powerful force in the 2yo department; started favourite at Southwell (AW) and duly showed clear promise in finishing a close second; respected with progress on the cards. |
Southwell runner-up VIOLET LOVE is taken to show progress and go one better. Coiled, a similar type, is second choice ahead of Bob The Bandit who warrants respect back on turf. Fondest Dream looks the pick of the newcomers.[Steve Boow]

(5) Dripsey Moon | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Craig Nichol | John C McConnell | Outclassed in four consecutive Graded races before failing to land a telling blow on his handicap debut over 2m5f here yesterday when a market drifter; makes no appeal on the back of that in a race of this nature. |
6th (6) Jetronic | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | Winning chaser in France and first two runs for this yard were over fences; made all on his return to hurdling at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) and probably beat a good horse, despite that one flopping since; lightly raced and in top hands, so hard to dismiss. |
(7) Phantomofthepoints | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Jack Tudor | David Pipe | His breakthrough win had been coming and he made the most of his market rival's departure to win a Chepstow novice easily 19 days ago (2m, soft); however, from a prominent position he dropped out to finish well out of the money on his handicap debut here yesterday. |
2nd (1) Choccabloc | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Nico de Boinville | Nicky Henderson | Bumper winner who beat a useful horse to get off the mark over hurdles at Ludlow in November (2m5f, good to soft); the penalty found him out in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham next time and it could be a similar tale here. |
3rd (3) Bertie's Ballet | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Henry Brooke | Dianne Sayer | Dual bumper winner (good/soft) and won a Haydock novice (heavy) on his second run over hurdles; limitations somewhat exposed since then (in good company) and could be up against it again here; unraced beyond 2m2f. |
4th (8) Twoohthree | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Jack Kennedy | Gordon Elliott | Impressive winner of a 2m4f Leopardstown maiden (soft) in March and would have pushed his market rival (Willie Mullins novice) closer at Navan had he not fluffed the last flight; has a 3m Grade 1 entry at Punchestown and he's open to considerable improvement. |
5th (4) Billericay Dickie | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Mr P W Mullins | W P Mullins | 1m4f good-ground winner in France (ran only twice); returning from 548 days off when well on top in the finish of a 2m4f maiden at Punchestown in January (heavy; some novicey jumping) and impossible to know how good he could be; holds Grade 1 entries at Punchestown over 2m, 2m3f and 3m. |
1st (2) Quai De Bourbon | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Paul Townend | W P Mullins | Has a 3m Grade 1 entry at Punchestown; kicked off for this yard with wins in two minor hurdles before showing much improved form to finish a 2l third in the Martin Pipe Handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f, heavy) for which he was a big talking horse beforehand; travelled well then before staying on and that effort gives him compelling claims in a race of this nature. |
Willie Mullins sets a poser by running two and while QUAI DE BOURBON unquestionably brings the strongest form credentials courtesy of his competitive run in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham, Billericay Dickie is packed with potential. Third best is fellow Irish raider Twoohthree, another unexposed gelding who, like the Mullins pair, has a top-level entry at Punchestown.[Alistair Jones]

3rd (2) Rock Armour | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Darragh Keenan | John Butler | Late foal, by Fastnet Rock; second foal; dam 1m1f winner (RPR 80), half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner Empowering and Listed-placed 7f winner Blue Angel out of 7f Listed-winning half-sister to 7f-1m1f Group 1 winner Bigstone; well related but best watched this time. |
2nd (3) Washeek | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | K R Burke | Failed to live up to market billing at Newmarket (7f, good) last August; front-running third of eight in novice at Carlisle (1m, good to firm; gelded since) was a lot better but does not suggest he is a match for God's Window. |
1st (1) God's Window | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Robert Havlin | John & Thady Gosden | Bred for further; has Guineas, Dante and Derby entries; co-favourite, won maiden at Doncaster (1m, soft) in September; that form would make him the one to beat in this tiny field and he followed it with better when a slow-starting, 2l third of seven in Group 1 Futurity back at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in October, so it would be an almighty shock if he fails to win this. |
Having already taken a maiden and finished third in the Group 1 Futurity, beaten just 2l by the hot favourite, GOD'S WINDOW will surely win this. Especially as there are just two other declarations. Washeek improved to show fair form on his second 2yo start and Rock Armour has a pretty useful pedigree.[Richard Austen]
Race 245: 16:55 Thirsk Join The Vickers.Bet Free Bet Club Maiden Stakes (GBB Race) GB 7f - All Thirsk Races
(3) Faris Flyer | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | David Nolan | Declan Carroll | Remote last in two 5f runs this spring; can't be recommended. |
(1) Damisa | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Harrison Shaw | Declan Carroll | The only horse he's beaten in his two starts is reopposing stablemate Faris Flyer; this trip more suitable than the 5f he's been tackling but still no appeal. |
(2) Evelyn's Phoenix | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Duran Fentiman | Tim Easterby | 80-1 and dropped right away in a 7f novice (heavy) at Catterick on his debut 17 days ago; can't be recommended. |
(8) Scarfo | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Harry Russell | John & Sean Quinn | Down the field in two runs as a 2yo (6f and 7.5f); handicaps more suitable after this. |
(12) Moneypiece | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Connor Beasley | Michael Dods | Didn't live up to market expectation on her 2yo debut 11 months ago (6f, good to firm); today's conditions should see her in a better light but she'll find easier openings than this. |
(4) Georgie Wooster | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | James Sullivan | Tim Easterby | 66-1 for his Newcastle debut 12 days ago (1m), offering some long-term promise; unlikely to be up to troubling the principals here though. |
(10) Capellina | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Cam Hardie | Michael Dods | Showed some promise in two Ayr runs over 7f last season but others have achieved much more. |
(5) Mysteryofthesands | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | Well beaten in one 2yo run but he offered more when third of 11, beaten just over 7l, in a 7f novice at Catterick 17 days ago; more to come and he looks the pick of his trainer's three runners. |
4th (7) Phoenix Of Dreams | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | 19,000euros yearling, 52,000gns 2yo; half-brother to winners Mogok Valley (6f, AW; RPR 78) and Star Of Burma (13.7f; 70); dam a 6f AW winner (80); makes some appeal on paper but he'll need to be useful to make a winning start in this field. |
2nd (11) Ghaihaban | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Jason Watson | Andrew Balding | Placed in her three starts and 7f on slow ground won't be an issue; looks sure to win races and she should be in the thick of it. |
3rd (9) Swift Storm | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Silvestre De Sousa | Dominic Ffrench Davis | Green under pressure when third of 12 in a 7f novice at Newcastle on his sole 2yo start (for Alice Haynes); the pair to beat him are both now BHA-rated in the mid to high 80s and the form has some substance; more to come. |
1st (6) Never So Brave | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Saffie Osborne | Sir Michael Stoute | Two runs last summer, finishing second in a Newmarket novice (7f, good) and a Nottingham maiden (6f, good to soft); both the horses to beat him went on to win in Group 1 company and he sets a demanding standard for his rivals to aim at; sire has plenty of slow-ground winners and his dam ran well on soft; the one to beat. |
Not many can be strongly fancied and although Moneypiece and Ghaihaban can go well, the two standout contenders look to be Swift Storm and NEVER SO BRAVE. Bumping into one subsequent Group 1 winner was unfortunate but having found Ancient Wisdom too strong on debut, Never So Brave then ran into Vandeek at Nottingham. He can gain compensation in these calmer waters.[Paul Smith]
Race 246: 16:55 Le Croise-Laroche Du Parc Barbieux Stakes - All Le Croise-Laroche Races
3rd (4) Zelzefyr | | | | | 4 | T Le Graet | N Caullery | Unplaced in a Handicap last time out at Deauville over 1900m on the 9 of April. Poor form and best to pass by |
4th (9) Lover With A G | | | | | 4 | J Nicoleau | E Thueux | Holding form and was 5th in a Conditions race at this track over 1800m on the 22 of March. Probably needed the latest and can go close |
2nd (6) Dorianello | | | | | 4 | G Roth Le Vaillant | A Fouassier | Disappointing 9th last time out in a Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2000m on the 16 of March. Has previously won at this track and deserves to be respected |
1st (7) Mandres | | | | | 4 | Mlle A Massin | S Nigge | Not disgraced last time out when sixth in a Handicap at Compiegne over 1800m on the 29 of March. Should make a bold bid |
(1) Double Effect | | | | | 4 | C Belmont | Mme Mme S Coirre | Disappointing last three runs and was 9th in a Handicap at Chantilly over 1900m on the 28 of March. The last three efforts have been poor |
(2) Palanzano | | | | | 4 | K Vanderbeke | L Lannoo | Showed some improvement and finished 6th in a Handicap at Chantilly over 1600m on the 13 of January. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(3) Tatoo | | | | | 4 | J Moutard | S Cerulis | Capable of better and was 7th in a Handicap at Argentan over 1900m on the 11 of April. Third run back and will be fitter. Can be involved |
(5) Dschingis Fear | | | | | 4 | J Marien | B V Den | Unplaced in a Claimer last time out at Chantilly over 2100m on the 29 of February. Would be a shock winner |
(8) Nuit Fauve | | | | | 4 | S Tison | M Rosseel | Unplaced in a Handicap last time out at Chantilly over 1900m on the 28 of March. Others are preferred |
MANDRES (7), the joint top-rated runner in the race, ought to capitalise on these favourable conditions by opening her account, especially with the benefit of her rider's 1,5kg allowance. She will, however, have to thwart the likely challenge of LOVER WITH A G (9), another joint top-rated entrant whose rider also takes 1,5kg off the back. DORIANELLO (6), a winner on this track last year, makes the trip for this commitment with legitimate ambitions too. TATOO (3) completes the shortlist.
Race 247: 17:00 Newbury Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire Handicap (0-85) (4) 4yo+ GB 1m 2f - All Newbury Races
(13) Rascallion | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Mia Nicholls | Sophie Leech | Completed a hat-trick over 1m2f-1m4f on AW/soft in the French Provinces last autumn, but failed to beat a rival when last seen at Cagnes-Sur-Mer (1m2f, AW) in February; worth a market check on stable debut. |
2nd (1) Sweet Reward | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Rob Hornby | Jonathan Portman | Handy sort who won twice over 1m2f on soft/good to soft last summer, but the handicapper was in charge subsequently; returns from 197 days off and his record suggests he will come on for the run. |
(12) High Spirited | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Trevor Whelan | Henry Candy | Windsor maiden winner (1m, good to firm) last May, but slow starts have been an issue in all four outings since; has fitness to prove on return from five months off; unraced on ground softer than good. |
1st (14) Qaasid | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Ryan Sexton | Julie Camacho | Rarely seen on grass (0-9) these days and AW form so far this year has been below par, but he is 7lb lower than when third of six at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last May so he can't be completely ruled out. |
(2) Polling Day | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Hollie Doyle | Archie Watson | Went missing for 31 months after winning his first two starts for the Gosden yard on the AW at Lingfield in the spring of 2021; has shown that he retains ability a couple of times since returning for this yard in November, but this looks a tough ask on turf debut. |
(16) One Step Beyond | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Anna Gibson | Gary Moore | Three wins over 1m/1m2f on good/AW last year (the last under Anna Gibson), but ended the campaign with two modest efforts; off seven months but has won fresh; each-way possibilities. |
(11) Oj Lifestyle | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Tom Queally | Gary Moore | Recorded a 125-1 win here (7f, good to firm) on second 2yo start and has run with credit a couple of times since; some stamina on the dam's side, but still something to prove up in trip after 202 days off (gelded in the meantime); stable also runs One Step Beyond. |
(5) Mr Mistoffelees | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Clifford Lee | Hughie Morrison | Won a Kempton novice (1m, AW) at the end of 2022, but faced stiff tasks subsequently and wasn't up to them; back in much calmer waters on this return from nine months off (has been gelded), but may be best watched for now. |
(18) Galileo's Compass | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Tom Marquand | Tom Ward | Placed a couple of times (10.5f/12.5f) in five starts for Jessica Harrington last year; makes his stable debut after 220 days off having been picked up for 18,500gns in November; market useful. |
(10) Entrancement | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Kyle Strydom | David Menuisier | Both wins have come on a soft surface and she ended last season with a good second of seven over C&D (soft) in September; fitness has to be taken on trust back from seven months off, but a player if ready to roll and the ground doesn't dry up too much. |
(19) Expressionless | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Rhys Clutterbuck | Dylan Cunha | Out of the frame in last six outings, but not beaten far at Bath (1m2f, heavy) 13 days ago and now 2lb lower than for the latest of two soft-ground wins (1m/8.5f) this time last year; interesting. |
(17) Monteria | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Liam Keniry | Stuart Kittow | Both wins came over 1m2f on soft ground last year and he may have gone even closer with a clearer run when beaten under a length into second of ten at Windsor (1m2f, heavy) on his final outing; may be better for this first run in six months, but of interest otherwise with conditions likely to suit. |
(6) Baltimore Boy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Jim Crowley | James Horton | Both wins on the AW (7f/1m) and 0-7 on turf; not disgraced when fifth of ten on his return/stable debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month, but has a bit to prove attempting this far for the first time. |
(7) God Of Thunder | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Alec Voikhansky | Richard Hannon | Both wins have come over 1m4f on the AW since November, the latest in a valuable apprentice handicap under Alec Voikhansky at Lingfield last month; another 6lb rise and this drop in trip may find him out now back on turf; stable also runs Graham. |
4th (3) Prince Maxi | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | William Buick | George Scott | Showed some ability when sixth of ten in one start for Richard Hannon at Newmarket (1m2f, good) a year ago and both runs since returning in February have been on the AW at Wolverhampton, easily winning on the first occasion (8.6f) and chasing home a subsequent winner on the second (9.5f); open to more progress on handicap debut. |
(15) Graham | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Sean Levey | Richard Hannon | Made the frame in all eight handicap starts last year, including wins over 1m4f at Salisbury (good to firm) and here (good); off eight months, but a player if returning in the same form. |
5th (4) Cracksking | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Daniel Muscutt | James Fanshawe | In the frame in all five starts before getting off the mark in good style in a Newcastle maiden (1m2f, AW) last October; returns from 190 days off having been gelded in the meantime and is one to consider, especially if market positive. |
3rd (9) Gallant Lion | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Rossa Ryan | Alan King | Completed a four-timer for Tony Carroll last summer including a win over C&D, but went quiet in his last two starts; makes his debut for his new yard (same owners) after seven months off and his record suggests the run may be needed. |
Entrancement, Graham and Monteria each have to prove their fitness following absences, but they have the form to figure if ready to go. There may be even better to come from Prince Maxi and Cracksking, while Qaasid could be an interesting outsider. However, it may be worth chancing the bottomweight EXPRESSIONLESS who should appreciate conditions if the ground remains soft and has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark.[David Bellingham]
Race 248: 17:05 Curragh Tote Never Beaten By SP Handicap IRE 6f - All Curragh Races
(17) Distillate | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Chris Hayes | Adrian McGuinness | Won three times last season when kept very busy; handles heavy but off since January and opposable in this grade. |
(23) Livingston Range | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Rory Cleary | R Donohoe | Hit a good spell of form over this trip last summer when winning at Naas and second to Secret Magician here; soundly beaten in three starts since switching yards last month and hard to fancy. |
(22) Tai Sing Yeh | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Killian Leonard | Denis Gerard Hogan | Veteran has been a great servant and has won on soft; only beaten 2l in AW handicap latest but this company looks bit too hot for him. |
4th (4) Dagoda | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Adam Caffrey | Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch | Gained back-to-back course wins (6f/7f) last season and was third of 19 after missing the break in a C&D handicap in October; has the form to feature if returning in similar nick. |
5th (12) Rathbranchurch | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Wesley Joyce | Michael Mulvany | Just the one win last term but was a consistent handicapper throughout the season and ran well first time out; ground no issue. |
5th (3) Tough Talk | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Colin Keane | G M Lyons | One of the darker ones after only five starts and he won his 2yo maiden here before finishing second in the Group 3 Marble Hill; restricted to only three starts as a 3yo and showed the benefit of a gelding operation when only 2l away in 7.5f handicap at Leopardstown; dropped 4lb. |
2nd (20) Midnight Fire | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Leigh Roche | Eddie & Patrick Harty | Three of his four wins have come over C&D including first time out last term on heavy; form petered out as the season went on; might find winning in this grade difficult but each-way claims. |
(2) Never Shout Never | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Cian MacRedmond | Adrian McGuinness | 5f winner at Cork on soft and excellent second in premier handicap over C&D last year when trained by Fozzy Stack; very weak in market on second start for this yard when beaten around 5l at Cork last time. |
(5) Rough Diamond | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Ben Coen | Edward Lynam | Four-time winner handles soft and has won here; missed most of last season and not in great form on AW over the winter although latest run (when beaten 2l) was better; tongue-tie. |
(7) Gustavus Weston | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Gary Carroll | Joseph G Murphy | Four-time winner at up to Group 2 level; has been steadily coming down the handicap and was second over 5f here in the autumn but no encouragement from his two starts this term. |
(8) Polar Bear | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Keithen Kennedy | Mrs John Harrington | 5f winner on heavy at Bellewstown last April and touched off at same venue in August; has won over 6f and should have come on for fair return at Cork; rider knows him and is good value for his claim. |
(9) Coumshingaun | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Seamie Heffernan | Kevin Thomas Coleman | Dual C&D winner should be better for seasonal debut over 7f at Cork and she's back on a good mark; has run well on testing ground but would prefer a sounder surface. |
(13) Saturn Seven | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Declan McDonogh | Edward Lynam | Two wins for Ken Condon last season, over 7f at Limerick and over 5f here on testing ground when last seen in October; visor worn then left off; stable debut after being bought for 17,000gns. |
(6) Brave Troop | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Luke McAteer | Barry J Fitzgerald | Quite a talented horse as he showed when bolting up over 7f at Gowran this time last year having won over 1m2f on heavy the time before; beaten fractions off this mark over 7f at Listowel in September; not seen since falling over hurdles later that month. |
(15) Run The Jewels | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Oisin McSweeney | Daniel McLoughlin | Four wins at a lower level over 7f/1m and handles soft; first try over 6f at Dundalk recently was quite encouraging but he's probably better around a bend. |
(14) Run Forrest Run | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Shane Foley | Michael Patrick Fenton | Hold-up sprinter won twice over 6f last term, here and at Cork, albeit in lower grade contests; should be better for his comeback at latter venue; always needs luck in running but ground not a problem. |
(21) Super Over | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | David Egan | D P Coakley | Four wins on AW (7f/1m); yet to win on turf and faded over 1m on heavy ground at Leopardstown; good jockey booked but others preferred. |
(19) Hokusai | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jamie Powell | Noel Meade | Runner-up in heavy ground maidens (7f/1m) last term; went without blinkers when running creditably over 1m here on reappearance; yet to shine over this trip but could go well under last season's champion apprentice with headgear back on. |
(16) Secret Magician | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Wayne Hassett | Martin Hassett | Both wins have come over C&D and he handles heavy; shaped well at Cork three weeks ago and yard does very well with limited runners; on a fair mark and should be bang there. |
(1) Heavenly Power | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | James Ryan | Edward Lynam | Two wins here, including a defeat of 29 rivals in a C&D handicap two seasons ago; won at Navan last October off 5lb lower; probably needs his best form yet to defy current mark and heavy ground perhaps not ideal. |
1st (18) Mercurial | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Robert Whearty | John J Nallen | Yet to add to juvenile success when trained in Britain but runner-up three times last term including over C&D on similar ground in October when finishing in front of Dagoda and Secret Magician; probably needed the run when long way behind Merisi Diamond here last month. |
3rd (10) Ramiro | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | J M Sheridan | Miss Hilary McLoughlin | Has done well for a few different yards and is a real mudlark; two wins when trained in Britain last term and good second over 7f at Naas last month; didn't see out his race when favourite at Cork six days later; stiff 6f here should be fine. |
(11) Merisi Diamond | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Ronan Whelan | Martin Brassil | Two readily-achieved wins on heavy ground at this venue (6f/7f) for which he's risen sharply in the ratings; second over 7f at Leopardstown last time and hood tried then is left off here; likely there's still more to come. |
His hat-trick bid was foiled at Leopardstown but plenty will give Merisi Diamond another chance off just a 2lb higher mark and a strong pace, which must be likely in such a big field, will suit him. After a good comeback at Cork, SECRET MAGICIAN, who goes well here and handles heavy ground, is just preferred. Plenty of others have each-way claims including Dagoda, who progressed well in the autumn, Ramiro and Rathbranchurch. [Mark Nunan]
Race 249: 17:13 Enghien Prix De Fontanges - Attele - All Enghien Races
4th (10) Lucky Piya | | | | | 3 | S Ernault | S Ernault | Pleasant 5th of 7, on comeback, in a 2175m Vincennes Class B a week ago. Sports front pads for the first time which could make all the difference. Minor place prospect |
3rd (1) Little Two | | | | | 3 | J Dubois | J Dubois | Got off the mark in superb fashion late last month in a 2800m Argentan Class F. Has no references going left-handed but would not be here if his handler was not confident of a big run |
2nd (5) Lever Du Joamax | | | | | 3 | G Gelormini | Mme L Hue | Won 2 on the trot at Caen, most recently a 2200m Class E. Goes left-handed for the first time but will be dangerous if he turns |
1st (11) Lover Quick | | | | | 3 | Cl Duvaldestin | T H Duvaldestin | Won his first 2 before faulting in a 2850m Vincennes Class B on 28 February. Franck Nivard reining this time and can put things right. Claim |
(2) Lotus Zen | | | | | 3 | J Y Ricart | M Dupuis | Returns to the harness code after coming last of 5 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 2 April. Sports pads this time but can still expect to remain friendless |
(3) Lancelot Platanes | | | | | 3 | A Lelodet | A Lelodet | Unraced since finishing 7th of 8 in a 2100m Vincennes Class C on 19 December and will need the run |
(4) Leolio | | | | | 3 | C H J Bigeon | C H Bigeon | Lost his maiden tag, on re-entry, in a 2825m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 1 April. 4 pads fitted this time, will have come on for the run, and looks a player |
(6) Led Zep Vet | | | | | 3 | B Le Beller | B Le Beller | Runner-up in all 3 starts to date, latterly a Class D over course and distance a month ago. Unlikely to spring any surprises this time but should still acquit himself honestly |
(7) Latino Pura Vida | | | | | 3 | F Ouvrie | S Roger | Last of 6 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class C at the start of the month. Pads fitted this time but may still be a race shy |
(8) Lovi Cadence | | | | | 3 | E Raffin | G Roig-Balaguer | Useful colt that was sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 2 April. Entrusted to Eric Raffin for the first time but still no more than a minor place prospect |
(9) Largo Ligneries | | | | | 3 | M Mottier | F Souloy | Won 2 racing clockwise before coming 4th of 8 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 2 April. Will appreciate the more even Enghien surface is expected to finish in the mix |
Even though having lost his action early last time out, there is little doubt about the talent LOVER QUICK (11) possesses and is in with a shout of winning this if Clement Duvaldestin gets him off on the right foot. They will still come under pressure from the unbeaten and progressive LEVER DU JOAMAX (5), and a padded LEOLIO (4) who opened his account on comeback earlier this month. LITTLE TWO (1) was a joy to watch at Argentan and makes his metropolitan debut with claims on a place in the frame
Race 250: 17:15 San Isidro Race 1 - Maiden ARG 5f 212y - All San Isidro Races
2nd (3) Nina Jofi | | | | | 3 | Ramiro Rodolfo Barrueco | Jose Lofiego | The percentage call is to look elsewhere for win purposes. |
3rd (11) Cursi Roy Rim | | | | | 3 | Martin Javier Valle | Alfredo Gaitan | Any market support on her debut should be noted. |
4th (9) Inca De Arteaga | | | | | 3 | William Pereyra | Nicolas Martin | Merits consideration. |
1st (7) Cold Mind | | | | | 3 | Jorge Luis Peralta | Miguel Cafere | Warrants the utmost respect. |
(1) Tormenta Curiosa | | | | | 3 | Wilson Rosario Moreyra | Jorge Mayansky | A smart effort would be required to get off the mark at the first time of asking. |
(2) Abundantia | | | | | 3 | Rodrigo Daniel Bascunan | Carlos Bani | Others are preferred. |
(4) Casti Amanti | | | | | 3 | Pablo Damian Carrizo | Diego Sinner | Can make her presence felt. |
(5) Reem | | | | | 3 | Brian Rodrigo Enrique | Diego Pena | Could be in the mix. |
(6) Martita Moi | | | | | 3 | Jairo Flores | Leonardo G Martinez | Others have more compelling claims for the gold medal. |
(8) Espouse | | | | | 3 | Eduardo Ortega | Enrique Ferro | Big each-way contender. |
(10) La Guernica | | | | | 3 | Luciano Matias Recuero | Conrado Linares | Hard to fancy strongly for win purposes. |
(12) Melisa Porter | | | | | 3 | Luis Fernando Vai | Juan Maldotti | Opposable. |
(13) Nochera Grey | | | | | 3 | Cristian Ernesto Velazquez | Franco Scarpello | Sound credentials if she can go on from her debut effort. |
Race 251: 17:15 Brighton Each Way Extra At bet365 Handicap (0-58) (6) 4yo+ GB 6f 210y - All Brighton Races
(13) Carry On Aitch | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Rhiain Ingram | Roger Ingram | Just one win from 21 starts and she's not made an impact in her last six runs; hood is now tried and she needs to find more back on turf. |
(2) Comedian Leader | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | William Carson | Jim & Suzi Best | Five-time AW winner but she's been well held on Polytrack (7f) and Tapeta (8.6f) in two runs for her new yard; mark is falling but she's 0-9 on turf and has something to prove back in this sphere. |
(5) Sir Titan | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Pat Cosgrave | Tony Carroll | Ended a 21-race losing run with his 33-1 win at Lingfield (1m) in January; went close over 7f there next time but down the field in last three runs; conditions are no problem on this return to turf but this veteran has a bit to prove again and others are preferred. |
(11) Moorgate | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | J F Egan | Pat Murphy | Won at Lingfield (6f, AW) in November and three good efforts there since but his form nosedived at that track two weeks ago; had some form here in the autumn but he needs to bounce back on this return to turf. |
(6) Dulcet Spirit | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Kaiya Fraser | Brett Johnson | Versatile ground-wise and was runner-up over C&D in the autumn but she has form figures of 07570 since; on dangerous mark back on turf but needs a major revival with cheekpieces added. |
(9) Awesome Spirit | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Alistair Rawlinson | Michael Appleby | Regressive maiden who has not made an impact in three runs this spring after wind surgery; this step back up in trip could help but he's now 0-14 and others are more convincing; blinkers removed. |
3rd (12) Arlo's Sunshine | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | George Rooke | John E Long | Scored off a similar mark at Yarmouth (1m, soft) a year ago but he's 0-14 since and has been well held in his four runs this year; should be fine on this drop back in trip but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
(8) Muy Muy Guapo | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Paddy Bradley | Simon Dow | Has dropped some way down the weights but his record stands at 0-17 and he's finished in rear after slow starts in his two runs (7f, Polytrack) this year; seems versatile ground-wise on turf but needs to raise his game back in this sphere. |
(10) Heer's Sadie | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Christian Howarth | Julia Feilden | Two C&D wins (good to firm) last summer and she ended last season with two creditable placed efforts on soft ground at this track; returns after 184 days off but she's on her last winning mark and needs a close look back up in trip. |
4th (7) Mudlahhim | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Franny Norton | Scott Dixon | Multiple AW winner who has reached the frame on Polytrack and Tapeta this spring; looks well treated on his best form last year, including on turf but he's 0-15 in this sphere and has never run at this track; others are more persuasive. |
2nd (3) Daisy Roots | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Billy Loughnane | Adam West | Won over 1m on turf (soft) and Polytrack last year; still 3lb higher than for last win but she returned from a break with a close fourth at Lingfield (1m) 12 days ago; should benefit from that run and she had a close call over this trip in the autumn; in the mix with Billy Loughnane booked. |
1st (4) Thoughtful Gift | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Charles Bishop | Jack Jones | Has done well in classified events this year and she's won on Polytrack (1m) in her last two starts; on revised mark on this switch to turf but she's on a roll and could find more progress on this drop back in trip; key player. |
(1) Ceilidh | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Aidan Keeley | George Baker | Took a while to get off the mark but he ended last season with two wins at around 7f on slow ground; up another 6lb but had plenty in hand at Leicester last time and is open to more progress this season; strongly respected back from 208 days off. |
Thoughtful Gift is on a roll after two AW wins in February but she has more to do back in trip on this turf debut and there are some interesting alternatives. Heer's Sadie had two wins and three placed efforts here last season, while Daisy Roots ran well at Lingfield on her recent return and has claims if she can build on that. However, the vote goes to CEILIDH, who found plenty of progress with his two wins in the autumn and is a big player if he can pick up where he left off.[David Moon]

(2) Dr Schuster | | | | | 3 | Charlie Marquez | Juan Avila | A winner at 1m. Finished 20l behind Ejtimaa when fifth of 7 at 39-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f (good) last month. Needs more today. |
(3) Magic Hooh | | | | | 4 | Melissa Iorio | Renaldo Richards | A winner at 1m. Beaten by Tiz A Beast when second of 7 at 1-2fav on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. Capable type. |
MAGIC HOOH appeals most in here on the basis that he's proven over the trip as a C&D winner and he finished a good second last time in this grade. Throw Dr Schuster and San Andres into the mix too.
Race 253: 17:20 Ayr Golf Inn Prestwick Open National Hunt Flat Race (Category 1 Elimination) (GBB Race) GB 2m - All Ayr Races
(10) Disco Annie | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Nathan Moscrop | Rebecca Menzies | Looked to have a bright future when second in an Irish point, but since then she's been well held in bumpers at Aintree (14-1) and Kelso (66-1); hooded last time, and now fitted with a tongue-strap after wind surgery; others preferred. |
(11) Authorized Mission | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Conor O'Farrell | Iain Jardine | Beaten about 16l at Newcastle (7-1; pulled hard, ran green) and Kelso (25-1; faded) in the winter; still early days but needs to improve. |
(1) Gasmani | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Tom Bellamy | David Dennis | Point winner who built on fourth on bumper debut when scoring gamely at Newcastle (heavy) in March; open to further improvement but meets stronger opposition here. |
(7) Jony R | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | Home-bred by Leading Light; dam runner-up in points, closely related to 2m1f/2m4f hurdle winner Island Mahee, half-sister to bumper/2m hurdle winner Henry Box Brown, out of half-sister to smart jumper Mendip Express; stable does well (20% strike-rate last five seasons) in British bumpers. |
(8) The Dipper | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Sean Quinlan | Nicky Richards | 21,000euros 3yo; brother to a point winner; dam pulled up both points, half-sister to bumper/useful 2m-2m5f hurdle winner Lady Zephyr; yard has fine record in bumpers over the years but is just 1-8 this season. |
2nd (2) Thistle Be The One | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Gavin Sheehan | Keiran Burke | Finished last in both his points but proved a completely different proposition on bumper debut at Kempton (soft; 40-1) in February, making all; the third has since boosted the form by winning in clearcut style at Market Rasen; has to be respected. |
(9) Reflection Of You | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Bought for £140,000 soon after winning a soft-ground Irish point, and she maintained her unbeaten record when making all in Musselburgh bumper (soft; 11-8 favourite) two weeks ago in clearcut fashion; faces sterner opposition here but she retains plenty of potential. |
(5) Histrionic | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Harry Cobden | Paul Nicholls | Easy winner of Irish point (yielding) in April 2023 after which he changed hands for 450,000euros; beaten favourite in two Newbury bumpers, shaping well in third on debut (good to soft) before disappointing on heavy ground last time; improvement needed but he's in good hands and still low-mileage. |
3rd (4) Califet En Vol | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Nico de Boinville | Nicky Henderson | Bought for £145,000 after finishing second in an Irish point in December; new stable has won this race five times since 2010, including with the mighty Sprinter Sacre; very interesting rules debutant. |
1st (6) Jazz De Cotte | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Jack Kennedy | Gordon Elliott | 26,000euros yearling; by Group 3-winning stayer Fly With Me; dam well held in AQPS Flat races, half-sister to winners Lilium De Cotte (useful hurdle/chase around 2m) and Safran De Cotte (2m-3m hurdle/chase); second in a soft-ground point in November; represents top connections and must be considered, especially if strong in the market. |
4th (3) C'Est Ta Chance | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Mr P W Mullins | W P Mullins | 1-1 in points; bumped into a smart prospect when short-headed in bumper at Navan (soft/heavy; pair clear) in January; only thirteenth of 19 in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham but this is much less competitive and it's unlikely we've seen the best of him yet. |
The percentage call is the Willie Mullins-trained C'EST TA CHANCE, who bumped into a smart prospect on his bumper debut at Navan and contested the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham next time. He may still have untapped potential. Among the threats with bumper form are the penalised winners Thistle Be The One and Reflection Of You, while Histrionic still has time on his side. However, the main danger could be the promising recruit from points Califet En Vol, whose stable has won this race several times, including with Sprinter Sacre.[Richard O'Brien]
Race 254: 17:25 Laurel Park Race 1 - Claiming - All Laurel Park Races
1st (4) Maddie Ten | | | | | 3 | Jorge Hernandez | Jose Corrales | Won on her latest outing when 9-10fav at Laurel Park over 1m last month, beating Yumyum Eat Em Up. Could get involved. |
2nd (3) Feelin So Lucky | | | | | 3 | Martina Rojas | Annette Eubanks | A winner at 6f. Finished behind Ree Nee's Six when fifth of 9 at 16-5 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Others appeal more. |
4th (5) Emm Ess Eh | | | | | 3 | Sheldon Russell | Brittany Russell | A winner at 7f. Finished behind Irish Maxima when fifth of 7 at 19-5 on her latest outing at Pimlico over 6f in September last year. Eases in grade to aid her chances. |
3rd (6) Solving Progress | | | | | 4 | Mychel Sanchez | Michael Trombetta | A winner at 1m. Well beaten at 11-1 behind She'sarollingstone when last of 7 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Needs to bounce back. |
(1) Surprisingly Sweet | | | | | 5 | John Hiraldo | Juanita Bennett | A winner at 6f. Well beaten at 125-1 behind Always Mia when last of 10 on her latest outing at Penn National over 6f last month. Looks vulnerable once more. |
(2) Navani | | | | | 3 | Carol Cedeno | Lynn Ashby | Won on her latest outing when evens fav at Delaware Park over 1m in October last year, beating Sofster by 6l. Could land a blow. |
(7) I Can Do It | | | | | 6 | Jean Alvelo | Gina Perri | A winner at 6f. Finished 8l behind Devil Pays In Gold when sixth of 9 at 30-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Robert Gamber. Unlikely to be good enough. |
NAVANI bolted up by six lengths to shed her maiden tag at Delaware Park last time and now that she has got her head in front, she could be one to follow. Maddie Ten and Emm Ess Eh can follow her home.
Race 255: 17:25 Nottingham Boost Your Winnings At Rhino.Bet Apprentice Handicap (0-65) (6) 4yo+ GB 5f 8y - All Nottingham Races
(9) Ohnojoe | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Ben Sanderson | Jessica Macey | Won a 6f novice as a 2yo but began life in handicaps off a tough mark and he's struggled to make an impact; he's undergone wind surgery since last seen and returns to action off a reduced mark so an improved showing wouldn't be a bolt from the blue; no accessories today. |
3rd (7) Stallone | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Rhys Elliott | Michael Dods | Course winner (6f, heavy); two 5f wins at Newcastle this year but he wasn't at his best back there 12 days ago (behind High Opinion); inexperienced apprentice on board. |
(2) Refuge | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Lewis Chalkley | Michael & David Easterby | Six-time winner who is now 4lb lower than when scoring at Hamilton last July; well held on his return at Doncaster four weeks ago but should be sharper today and this is a drop in class; has the rail to help and a much-improved showing could be on the cards. |
(5) Under Curfew | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Molly Gunn | Tony Carroll | Won four in a row in the summer of 2021 (including back from a break) but he's drawn a blank since; ended 2023 with a string of good runs but his best turf form has come on a faster surface. |
(11) Glorious Rio | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Brandon Wilkie | Stella Barclay | He hasn't been at his best on AW this winter but he's dropped in the weights as a consequence and the return to turf won't be a problem (effective on soft); each-way shout. |
(10) Bama Lama | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Oliver Searle | Rod Millman | Well suited by slower than good and she's only 2lb higher than for her Windsor win last August; not as good on AW and highly likely she'll leave last month's Southwell run behind her. |
(6) Harry With Style | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Adam Farragher | John Ryan | Won twice on slow turf last season, the second of them coming off a 4lb higher mark; struggling for form on AW this year but he's dropped in the weights as a consequence and getting back on the grass could prompt a full revival. |
1st (8) Mehmo | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Frederick Larson | Michael Appleby | In good form on AW early in the year but more recent efforts haven't been his best; has won over C&D and he's on a fair mark so couldn't rule him out. |
2nd (4) High Opinion | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Andrew Breslin | Bryan Smart | Two C&D runs in 2022 yielded a second and a win (both on soft); he had dropped in the weights prior to an AW win in November; promising return from break at Newcastle 12 days ago and still feasibly handicapped; drawn furthest away from the stands' rail but good claims if that isn't a negative. |
(1) Zargun | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Elisha Whittington | Scott Dixon | Exploited his reduced mark at Doncaster last month (5f, soft) but he failed to back it up at Thirsk 11 days ago; this drop into Class 6 company will be more suitable and he's one to consider. |
4th (3) Fortunate Star | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Zak Wheatley | Declan Carroll | Bolted up over C&D (soft) last May off just 2lb lower; inconsistent afterwards and he was well behind Zargun on his return to action last month; may fare better back into a Class 6. |
A trappy sprint. Zargun should appreciate the drop to Class 6 company, while Fortunate Star was impressive over C&D last spring, Refuge is on a dangerous mark, Harry With Style should benefit from the return to slow turf and Ohnojoe has had a wind op since last seen. The two against the field are Mehmo and HIGH OPINION, with the latter fancied to build on his latest effort.[Paul Smith]
1st (4) Pink Valentine | | | | | 5 | L Chollet | Boutin (S) | Capable of better and finished 7th in a Handicap at Deauville over the 1400m on the 10 of April. The penultimate start was a winner and can't be ruled out |
4th (8) Sweet Damiana | | | | | 6 | A Madamet | C H Plisson | Unplaced last time out in a Handicap at Fontainebleau over 1200m on the 25 of March. Also performs well on this track and can be involved |
3rd (3) Iseult | | | | | 6 | S Breux | Mme N Vermeulen | Disappointed when unplaced in a Conditions race last time out at Saint-Cloud over 1400m on the 5 of April. A two-time winner at this track and can bounce back to score |
2nd (9) Tallinski | | | | | 10 | P Bazire | Mme S Lanslots | A good third last time out in a Claimer at Chantilly over 1000m on the 4 of April. Experienced campaigner and should make a bold bid |
(1) Cristal Marvelous | | | | | 7 | D Santiago | C H Plisson | Unplaced in a Handicap last time out at Fontainebleau over 1200m on the 25 of March. Twice on this track has tasted success. Can go close |
(2) Magic Sword | | | | | 6 | S Vogt | Mme S Lanslots | Unplaced in a Claimer last time out at this track over 1100m on the 22 of March. Performs well at this track and is the stable mate of the favourite |
(5) Downeva | | | | | 11 | L Bails | Mme R Bouckhuyt | Unplaced last time out in a Handicap at this track over 1800m on the 22 of March. Others are preferred |
(6) Ambitious Plan | | | | | 4 | J Moutard | Mme F Jacobs | Struggling of late and was 6th in a Handicap at Mons over 950m on the 9 of February. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(7) Mowaeva | | | | | 7 | H Boutin | Boutin (S) | Unplaced last time out in a Handicap at Deauville over the 1400m on the 10 of April. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(10) El Bnoud | | | | | 5 | L Boisseau | G Courbot | Unplaced last time out in a Handicap at Argentan over 1900m on the 11 of April. Placed third three runs back at Chantilly |
(11) Maddox | | | | | 4 | S Maillot | R Roels | Modest recent form and was 7th in a Claimer at this track over 1100m on the 22 of March. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(12) Sapiens | | | | | 6 | B Marie | J Nuyts | Finished third in a Handicap at Mons over 1500m on the 25 of March. Improved in the latest effort |
(13) Albedo | | | | | 7 | J Marien | A Schepens | Showed some improvement and was fourth in a Handicap at Deauville over 1400m on the 19 of January. More is needed to win |
(14) Glicourt | | | | | 10 | F Valle Skar | Boutin (S) | A decent fourth last time out in a Claimer at this track over 1100m on the 22 of March. Performs well at this track and deserves to be respected |
(15) Inviolable Spirit | | | | | 9 | C Berge | Mme D Wulf | Finished 8th last time out in a Claimer at this track over 1100m on the 22 of March. Three unplaced attempts this year |
Veteran TALLINSKI (9) caught the eye with a reassuring 3rd at Chantilly last time and has sound references at this venue - albeit without success - so is marginally preferred in this sprint handicap. Veteran GLICOURT (14), twice a winner over this course and distance, is ideally positioned in the starting stalls and has the means to play a leading role too, having finished an encouraging 4th over this track and trip last month. ISEULT (3), after a much-needed comeback run, veteran mare CRISTAL M
Race 257: 17:30 Thirsk Vickers.Bet EBF Michael Foster Conditions Stakes GB 7f - All Thirsk Races
5th (3) Rhoscolyn | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Jason Watson | David O'Meara | Three wins at Goodwood last season, the first two over 7f on soft/heavy, the final one over 1m in September; respectable third in this race on his 2022 reappearance but has a bit to find on the figures this time. |
1st (5) Shartash | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Luke Morris | Archie Watson | Classy 2yo, winning a 6f Curragh Group 2 and third in Group 1 National Stakes there (7f, soft); found life tougher over sprint trips for Johnny Murtagh last year, changed hands for 150,000euros in the autumn and new connections have gelded him and waste no time stepping him back up in trip; it'll be interesting to see how much strength there is behind him in the betting. |
2nd (2) Ramazan | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Oisin Orr | Richard Fahey | Progressed into a smart performer last year, winning a pair of 7f handicaps and narrowly denied in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, good to soft) in September; showed he can do it outside of handicaps when close second in 7f Redcar Listed race on final start; leading claims if fully primed for this. |
4th (1) Baradar | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Silvestre De Sousa | George Boughey | Campaigned in handicaps in 2023, hitting a peak with wins at Ascot (7f International Stakes) and Doncaster (6.5f, soft); respectable fifth in 6f Doncaster Listed race on reappearance four weeks ago and this return to 7f is in his favour. |
3rd (4) Holloway Boy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Sam James | K R Burke | Made a winning debut in the Listed Chesham at 2022 Royal Ascot; recorded another smart effort at the Royal meeting when fourth in last year's Jersey (7f, good to firm) but not seen again (gelded) until a well-held fourth in a 1m Doncaster Listed race (soft) four weeks ago; entitled to come on for the run and the drop back to 7f shouldn't inconvenience. |
A smart conditions event. RAMAZAN made good progress as a 3yo, culminating with a near miss in a Redcar Listed race over this trip, and he can strike on this reappearance with his yard going well. Baradar should be be better suited by this trip than the 6f he tackled on his seasonal return and might be the one for the forecast spot. [Andrew Sheret]

Race 259: 17:45 Brighton Download The bet365 App bet365 Handicap (0-78) (4) 4yo+ GB 1m 3f 198y - All Brighton Races
4th (7) Major Major | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Sam Hitchcott | Richard Hannon | Dual turf winner over an extended 1m3f (soft/good) last August; hasn't been at the top of his game in two AW runs this spring but he had an excuse over 1m6f last time and is now back on his last winning mark; one of two runners for Richard Hannon and looks interesting back on turf. |
(4) Eton Blue | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Pat Cosgrave | George Baker | Made all for an easy win at Goodwood (1m1f, soft) last August and he followed up over C&D (1m4f, good) in a race he also won two years earlier; no joy in amateur jockeys' Cambridgeshire in final run last season but he still looks feasibly treated and has won when fresh in the past; needs watching in market back here on his return. |
2nd (5) Suffrajet | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Franny Norton | Charlie Johnston | Won off 1lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on her comeback in December but she's not gone on from that and was laboured at Lingfield (behind Lexington Knight) three weeks ago; conditions should be fine on this switch back to turf but that was a major blip last time and others are more convincing. |
(6) Upepo | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jack Doughty | Tony Carroll | Not out of the first four in seven AW runs for this yard, winning three of those (all at Lingfield from 1m4f to 1m5f); 1m6f looked to stretch him when 4l third at Southwell last time but he has an uninspiring record on turf and needs to transfer his progress back to this sphere. |
3rd (3) Lexington Knight | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Kevin Stott | Richard Hannon | Multiple AW scorer who has also won on fast and soft ground on turf; creditable third off this mark on AW (1m4f) in his last two runs and latest was in a 16-runner event at Lingfield; should go well again back on turf and he's respected. |
(1) Lord Melbourne | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Harry Davies | Simon & Ed Crisford | Didn't really progress in five novice/maiden events last year but he found improvement on his handicap debut when forging clear at Pontefract (1m2f, heavy; 4-1) two weeks ago; a 3lb rise for that success looks fair and he's a big player again back up in trip. |
1st (2) Ensured | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Ross Coakley | James Fanshawe | Soft-ground winner in Britain in 2021, then failed to score in Hong Kong in 2022 or 2023; placed on AW in his first two starts since rejoining James Fanshawe but he didn't really fire when favourite back on turf at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) last month; now goes back up in trip and down in grade but he needs to step up again after that last run. |
Richard Hannon has two interesting contenders in Lexington Knight, who has been placed on AW in his last two starts, and Major Major, who won twice on turf last summer and is back on his last winning mark. Dual C&D winner Eton Blue needs a close look on his return, but the vote goes to LORD MELBOURNE (nap), who kicked off his handicap career with a clearcut win at Pontefract two weeks ago and is open to more progress back up in trip.[David Moon]

3rd (3) Mr. Swagger | | | | | 4 | Carlos Olivero | Juan Avila | Successful at 6f and 1m. Won on his latest outing when 9-5jt-fav at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month, beating Swing Low. One to respect. |
1st (5) Sir Saffer | | | | | 5 | Jose Ferrer | Kathleen O'Connell | He has won four times at 1m. Beaten 2 1/4l by Passage Of Lines when second of 7 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Claims on that form. |
2nd (6) Conspiracy Fact | | | | | 5 | Jose Batista | Juan Arriagada | Winner of five races at 1m. Finished 6l behind Passage Of Lines when fourth of 7 at 7-5fav on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Not without a squeak. |
4th (1) Positive Review | | | | | 5 | Samy Camacho | S Joseph Jr | Successful at 6f and 1m. Finished behind Kingsbarns when fourth of 9 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f last month. Noted. |
(2) Silver Slugger | | | | | 4 | Marcos Meneses | Juan Avila | Successful at 6f and 7f. Won on his latest outing when 11-5fav at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f (good) last month, beating Sam Stormy by 3 1/2l. Big player. |
The eye is immediately drawn to the unexposed, hat-trick seeking SILVER SLUGGER, who could prove to be a class above these. Mr. Swagger and Conspiracy Fact are the dangers.
Race 261: 17:55 Laurel Park Race 2 - Allowance - All Laurel Park Races
3rd (2) Nuwanda | | | | | 4 | Horacio Karamanos | Calixto Juarez | A winner at 1m on good ground. Beaten behind Carmel Sunrise at 16-1 when seventh of 16 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 1f (good) in October last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Trombetta. Faces a tall order here. |
5th (3) Mischievous Doll | | | | | 4 | Sheldon Russell | H Motion | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Beaten 7l behind Secret Money at 30-1 when seventh of 12 on her latest outing at Churchill Downs over 5f (good) in May last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Paulo Lobo. Will find this easier. |
2nd (5) Share The Blessing | | | | | 3 | Ben Curtis | Michael Stidham | A winner at 5f on good ground. Finished 6l behind Imaboutago when fourth of 9 at 35-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. Place claims. |
4th (8) Golden Heart | | | | | 4 | J G Torrealba | Gary Capuano | She has won three times from 5f to 7f on good and soft ground. Third of 10 behind Precious Avary beaten at 6-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 1f (good) in October last year. Warrants plenty of respect. |
1st (9) Caroline Krystyna | | | | | 4 | Jevian Toledo | Horacio De | A winner at 5f on good ground. Beaten 10l behind Freccia D'argento at 13-2 when seventh of 9 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f in October last year. Needs to put that effort behind her on her first run for a new stable, previously with Keri Brion. |
(1) Profitunity | | | | | 3 | Victor Carrasco | Diane Morici | Won on her latest outing when 1-2fav at Charles Town over 6f last month, beating Jolenes Ecliptical by 6l. More to come. |
(4) Wise And Elegant | | | | | 4 | Mychel Sanchez | Jane Cibelli | A winner at 5f on good ground. Beaten a neck by Drum Roll when second of 6 at 7-2 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f (good) last month. One to consider if running to a similar level. |
(6) Lilly Simone | | | | | 6 | Johan Rosado | Jose Magana | She has won three times from 5f to 6f on good ground. Beaten 2 1/2l behind Chickahominy at 19-2 when eighth of 10 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f (good) in November last year. Might find a few too strong. |
(7) For Cryin Out Loud | | | | | 4 | Jaime Rodriguez | Anthony Aguirre | She has won three times from 5f to 6f on the all-weather. A winner at 17-4 at Laurel Park over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Lovely Liza. This is more demanding. |
(10) Payout Ratio | | | | | 4 | J Acosta | Ramon Martin | Won on her latest outing when 9-5fav at Monmouth Park over 1m (good) in July last year, beating Dixie Groove. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Chad Brown. Will need to take another step forward. |
(11) Visby | | | | | 5 | Jean Briceno | Justin Nixon | Won on her latest outing when 1-10fav at Charles Town over 4f (good) last month, beating Nonesuch Girl by 1/2l. She has to be of interest. |
GOLDEN HEART made the frame in stakes company over an extended mile here last time and she can cope with the drop in distance to record her fourth career victory. Profitunity and Wise And Elegant could also get into contention.

3rd (5) Lady Dorchester | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Raul Da Silva | Dominic Ffrench Davis | Unplaced in AW races in March/April; has an experience advantage over her rivals but will probably need to improve to get off the mark. |
2nd (6) Teej A | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | Brandon Wilkie | K R Burke | 52,000gns yearling; by Mehmas; dam 6f 2yo winner (including Listed; RPR 96) out of unraced half-sister to useful 6f/7f winner Courageous; has an attractive pedigree and her stable won this last season with a filly making her debut; fits the bill on paper. |
4th (3) The Dragon King | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 2 | John Fahy | Clive Cox | Invincible Army colt who made a promising debut when second of eight at Southwell (5f, AW) last month, disputing the lead for much of the way; represents a top stable and probably the one to beat. |
Karl Burke won this with a newcomer in 2023 and Teej A could be cut from the same cloth. She certainly has an appealing profile, but with the benefit of experience the pendulum swings in favour of THE DRAGON KING, who shaped nicely first time out at Southwell. Orlando Magic and Clipsham Noble represent yards with 2yo winners already this season and are others to consider.[Richard O'Brien]
Race 263: 17:58 Le Croise-Laroche De La Piscine De Roubaix Handicap - All Le Croise-Laroche Races
2nd (5) Two Two Two | | | | | 4 | L Boisseau | Frau Chr Janssen/Belgien | Unplaced in a Handicap last time out at Deauville over 1400m on the 10 of April. Disappointing last three efforts, but placed fourth at this track in October. Consider |
3rd (6) Illuminating | | | | | 5 | J Moutard | Mme F Jacobs | Was 8th in a Handicap at Mons over 950m on the 23 of November.Long losing streak and best to pass by |
4th (10) Asturias Road | | | | | 8 | C Belmont | Mme V Dissaux | Disappointing 8th in a Handicap kast time out at Saint-Cloud over 1300m on the 24 of November. Drawn 2 will be an advantage. If not needing it, can go close |
1st (4) Sweet As | | | | | 4 | H Boutin | Boutin (S) | Unreliable and was 8th in a Handicap at Deauville over 1400m on the 10 of April.Well-drawn and will be an advantage but is not the most consistent sort |
(1) Prince George | | | | | 4 | G Roth Le Vaillant | Mlle A Budka | Was 7th in a Handicap at Compiegne over 1400m on the 16 of April. The penultimate start was third and can bounce back |
(2) Louve Dream | | | | | 8 | S Vogt | J H Smith | Unplaced in a Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 1400m on the 12 of March.Consistently poor form and happy to ignore |
(3) Barbuda | | | | | 5 | D Santiago | Jv Toux | Modest last two runs and was 9th in a Handicap last time out at Deauville over 1300m on the 15 of December. Been on a break since and has sufficient means to fight for the victory. |
(7) Shot In The Dark | | | | | 11 | S Breux | M Rosseel | Was 8th at Mons over 950m on the 9 of April. Unplaced since winning in April last year. Needs to do more to win this race |
(8) His Pride | | | | | 6 | S Maillot | N Caullery | Unplaced in a Handicap last time out at Chantilly over 1300m on the 29 of February. More is needed to win |
(9) Valento | | | | | 8 | K Vanderbeke | D De Waele | Unplaced in a Handicap at Chantilly over 1600m on the 23 of February. Poor form and would be a shock winner |
(11) Lucan Fast | | | | | 4 | G Sias | F X Belvisi | Unplaced in a Handicap at Compiegne over 1400m on the 19 of March. Unplaced in all eight starts |
(12) Java James | | | | | 5 | G Meury | Mme J Hendriks | Showed some improvement and finished 6th in a Handicap at this track over 1800m on the 22 of March. Favorable draw and can be involved in the finish |
(13) Queen Of The Night | | | | | 7 | J Marien | Mme D Callebaut | Was 7th in a Handicap at Compiegne over 1400m on the 19 of March. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(14) Korem | | | | | 5 | J Nicoleau | C H Plisson | Was fourth in a Handicap at Compiegne over 1400m on the 19 of March. Some improvement in the latest |
(15) Lilly Bird | | | | | 7 | C Le Gland | B Legros | Unplaced in a Handicap at Pornichet-La Baule over 1700m on the 27 of March. Poor form and others are preferred |
This is another wide-open handicap and cases can be made for several runners. However, it could be worth siding with veteran ASTURIAS ROAD (10) whose 3 career victories were all achieved over this course and distance. BARBUDA (3) is, like the selection, also favourably positioned in the starting stalls, so has legitimate ambitions here on her seasonal reappearance. TWO TWO TWO (5), although out of sorts, isn't incapable of making her presence felt either, having finished 4th over track and trip
Race 264: 18:00 Keeneland Race 1 - Maiden Claiming - All Keeneland Races
1st (1) Put The Crazy Away | | | | | 4 | Abel Cedillo | Tim Girten | Placed in three of eight starts. Finished 8l behind Literary when fifth of 7 at 33-10 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Raymond Paquette III. Likely to find a few too strong. |
3rd (2) Lady Aberdeen | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Brendan Walsh | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 14l behind Zoe's Prime when sixth of 9 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time and the drop in grade ought to aid her chance. |
2nd (7) She's Always Rosie | | | | | 3 | Gerardo Corrales | William Morey | Placed once in three starts. Third of 11 behind Mitole Magic beaten 1 1/4l at 7-5fav on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. One of the likelier winners. |
4th (8) Golden Degree | | | | | 3 | Brian Jr Hernandez | W Calhoun | Yet to place in four starts. Beaten 15l behind Helen's Little Sis at 25-1 when seventh of 10 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f last month. Merits serious consideration. |
(3) Gift Gorgeous | | | | | 3 | David Cohen | J Desormeaux | Unplaced in both starts. Finished behind Spiritual Lady when fifth of 9 at 13-1 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 6f earlier this month. Needs to improve. |
(4) Ms I Speight | | | | | 3 | Reylu Gutierrez | Destin Heath | Dam won at 6f. The betting could reveal some clues. |
(5) Tan Lines | | | | | 5 | Luan Machado | Anna Navarrete | Half-sister to Mandy, won four times between 4f and 7f. Best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |
(6) West Coast Harbor | | | | | 3 | Jane Elliott | Michael Puhich | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 10l behind Just An Opinion at 8-1 when eighth of 9 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Hard to fancy. |
LADY ABERDEEN has yet to shine, but she is fancied to shed the maiden tag now eased in grade. She's Always Rosie and Golden Degree are others to consider.
Race 265: 18:05 San Isidro Race 3 - Maiden ARG 0m 7f 210y - All San Isidro Races
10th (11) Fair Moon | | | | | 4 | Lucas Ignacio Chavez | Antonio Corbalan | Opposable. |
3rd (1) Rio Babel | | | | | 4 | Luciano Matias Recuero | Alberto Aguirre | The percentage call is to look elsewhere for win purposes. |
5th (4) Eco Rush | | | | | 4 | Tomas Daniel Baez | Carlos Bani | Big each-way contender. |
7th (10) Master Bet | | | | | 4 | Rodriguez Aserito | Fabio Cacciabue | Others have more persuasive claims for the gold medal. |
9th (3) Pucara Kid | | | | | 4 | Lucrecia Mariana Carabajal | Cristina Carabajal | Others appeal more. |
1st (7) El Gran Rock | | | | | 4 | Adrian Maximiliano Giannetti | Gustavo Scarpello | The suspicion is that he has more of a place chance than a winning one. |
8th (2) Capitan Brujo | | | | | 4 | Wilson Rosario Moreyra | Miguel Suarez | Can make his presence felt. |
6th (6) Meitar | | | | | 4 | Brian Rodrigo Enrique | Nicolas Martin | Warrants the utmost respect. |
10th (8) Giant Heavy | | | | | 4 | William Pereyra | Jorge Berho | Unexposed type who cannot be dismissed. |
4th (5) Q Loico | | | | | 4 | Juan Pablo Paoloni | Pablo Sahagian | Obvious shortlist material. |
2nd (9) Global Chicago | | | | | 4 | Cristian Ernesto Velazquez | Juan Etchechoury | Would be foolish to ignore. |
Race 266: 18:05 Thirsk Happy 19th Birthday Lily Watkinson Handicap (Div I) (0-75) (5) 4yo+ GB 6f - All Thirsk Races
11th (8) Dark Kestrel | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Cam Hardie | Antony Brittain | Often misses the break, but that didn't stop him going close twice at Newcastle (5f, AW) in January; has had wind surgery (for the second time) since his latest poor run; relatively lightly raced but has enough to prove, including his ability to handle ground softer than good. |
8th (13) Dandy Spirit | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | William Pyle | Roger Fell & Sean Murray | Most recent win, last spring, came off 7lb higher, and he probably needed the outing when ninth of 13 over C&D 11 days ago; handles the mud and may well be at concert pitch now; could be interesting at a price. |
6th (12) Rainbow Rain | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Luke Morris | Tracy Waggott | Had productive 4yo campaign, winning three times including over C&D; might have needed most recent run after four months off but the pick of his turf form is on good to firm ground and soft conditions would be a worry. |
3rd (4) Impressor | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Rowan Scott | Phillip Makin | Had a fine 2023, winning four times (5f/6f, soft/heavy); possibly needed the run when fifth at Catterick 17 days ago, and the usual cheekpieces return today; no surprise if he bounces back to form. |
7th (1) Society Lion | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Saffie Osborne | Ed Dunlop | Won a division of this race in 2023 (soft ground) off today's mark; in and out since, but 7f probably stretched his stamina on his latest outing at Wolverhampton early in January; has to be respected if ready to roll after 104 days off. |
10th (3) Music Society | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | Runner-up four times here and he begins the season on an attractive mark, but that's because he was 0-14 in 2023; no great record after an absence and others make more obvious appeal. |
1st (10) Cold Stare | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | David Nolan | David O'Meara | This year's form-figures don't look especially enticing but he's much better on turf than AW; goes well at Thirsk and was runner-up to Society Lion in a division of this race 12 months ago (soft ground; off 6lb higher); one to take seriously with the cheekpieces (left off last time) returning. |
2nd (2) Slainte Mhath | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Phil Dennis | Katie Scott | Ideally suited by 6f on ground softer than good; solid reappearance when a close third of ten at Catterick (Mersea second, Impressor fifth) 17 days ago and again unlikely to be far away. |
4th (5) Thankuappreciate | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Harrison Shaw | Declan Carroll | Just one win from 15 attempts; begins the season off his lowest mark and handles the mud, but he often blows the start and his stable has yet to strike this year; others appeal more. |
5th (11) Secret Road | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Jason Hart | Tristan Davidson | Gained reward for his consistency over the winter when winning at Southwell (6f, AW) last month, and he's just as effective on turf; does not look overburdened by a 3lb rise. |
9th (6) King's Crown | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Connor Beasley | Michael Dods | Sole win for Adrian Nicholls came over C&D in May 2022; ended last season with two respectable efforts on ground softer than good; has joined a stable that excels with sprinters; very dangerous if returning to his best. |
12th (7) Mersea | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Sam James | Grant Tuer | Followed a fine second at Catterick (6f, heavy) by winning in a small field at Southwell (5f, AW; rallied gamely to lead again final strides) nine days ago; clearly in top form and should be in the thick of things again. |
(9) Huddle Up | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Callum Rodriguez | David & Nicola Barron | 0-11 for current yard but has been placed several times, including when favourite at Doncaster (5f, soft) in March; second in a division of this race last year; leading contender. |
A wide-open handicap may go to KING'S CROWN who has fallen in the weights and now reappears for a new yard that excels with sprinters. Plenty of the others have soft-ground 6f form. In order of preference, the main dangers are Cold Stare, Slainte Mhath, Huddle Up, Society Lion and Mersea.[Richard O'Brien]
Race 267: 18:10 Gulfstream Race 1 - Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
2nd (3) Euphoria Star | | | | | 5 | Joseph Trejos | Frank Santillana | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten 10l behind Swaggish at 75-1 when seventh of 12 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in February. This asks more of him. |
5th (7) Eyes Of Champion | | | | | 5 | Anthony Thomas | Javier Negrete | Successful at 7f and 1m. Third of 9 behind Globes beaten 4l at 45-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Firmly in the mix. |
1st (4) Gentleman Gerry | | | | | 4 | Sonny Leon | Daniel Hurtak | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten behind Tap Gold at 19-5 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in February. Others are more appealing. |
3rd (9) Flatter Me | | | | | 7 | Luca Panici | Timothy Hills | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten 7l behind Frank's Art at 25-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Had an excuse (bumped) that day and can do better with a clear run this time. |
4th (5) Mannix | | | | | 5 | Edgard Zayas | Martin Drexler | Successful twice at 1m. Finished behind Quincy Cafe when fifth of 6 at 11-5fav on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. A threat to all if on song. |
(1) Midway Mischief | | | | | 6 | Jose Morelos | Elizabeth Dobles | Successful at 1m and 1m 1f. Finished 6l behind Globes when fifth of 9 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Needs big step forward from recent efforts. |
(2) Impressive Speed | | | | | 7 | Jesus Rios | Luis Ramirez | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 6l behind Globes when sixth of 9 at 40-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Hard to fancy. |
(6) Samaritano | | | | | 4 | Leonel Reyes | Kathleen O'Connell | Successful twice at 1m. A winner at 50-1 at Gulfstream over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Moonrise Drive by a neck. A strong contender. |
(8) Ensign Skip | | | | | 4 | Angel Morales | Bernardo Campos | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 19l behind K. C. Chief when sixth of 8 at 30-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m earlier this month. Others hold more pressing claims. |
SAMARITANO showed determination to win here last month and another bold showing is likely. Eyes Of Champion is feared most, with Mannix rated another to seriously consider.
Race 268: 18:10 Oaklawn Park Race 1 - Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
3rd (4) Kitiara | | | | | 4 | Francisco Arrieta | Kevin Martin | A winner at 6f. Beaten 11l behind Magnolia Mae at 8-1 when seventh of 12 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Look elsewhere for the winner. |
4th (1) Gold Strategy | | | | | 5 | Walter De La Cruz | Tammy Hornsby | A winner at 6f. Third of 11 behind Delta Moon beaten 6l at 16-10fav on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Could hit the frame. |
2nd (8) Sassy Lass | | | | | 4 | Chel C Bailey | Burl McBride | A winner at 6f. Beaten 12l behind Music Mistress at 40-1 when 9th of 10 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Needs to bounce back to form. |
1st (7) Doughty | | | | | 4 | Rafael Bejarano | Randy Morse | A winner at 6f. Well beaten at 13-1 behind Haulin Ice when last of 10 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Worth a second look. |
(2) Dat Dares Right | | | | | 4 | Ramsey Zimmerman | Rachael Keithan | A winner at 5f. Third of 12 behind Magnolia Mae beaten 6l at 16-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Dangerous to dismiss. |
(3) Betty Jo | | | | | 4 | Keith Asmussen | R Moquett | A winner at 6f. Finished 7l behind Delta Moon when sixth of 11 at 9-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Looks vulnerable once more. |
(5) Be My Huckleberry | | | | | 4 | Alexander Castillo | F Loy | A winner at 5f. Finished 6l behind Magnolia Mae when fourth of 12 at 50-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Unlikely to trouble her rivals. |
(6) Coromandel | | | | | 4 | Travis Wales | Kim Puhl | A winner at 6f. Beaten 13l behind Chip Shortage at 50-1 when eighth of 9 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f (good) last month. That defeat leaves her with questions to answer. |
(9) Predicting | | | | | 3 | Carlos Barbosa | Timothy Martin | A winner at 18-5 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on her latest outing earlier this month, beating Bent Halo by 1 1/4l. A key player. |
PREDICTING secured victory by just over a length over track and trip earlier in the month and she can go in again. Doughty and Gold Strategy are feared most.
Race 269: 18:15 Brighton bet365 Handicap (Div I) (0-52) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m 1f 207y - All Brighton Races
(6) Hiccups | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Nicola Currie | John Berry | Has struggled at big prices in all four runs, most recently when last of 12 on his handicap debut at Lingfield (1m5f, AW) in February; blinkers now go on and he needs a transformation back in trip. |
(12) On The Nose | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Kevin Stott | Adam West | Won over C&D for Gary Moore in the summer of 2022 but she's struggled for two different yards since September, including under both codes in her last four runs; has a lot to prove and can only be watched. |
(13) Red Hot Rose | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Charles Bishop | Jack Jones | Caught the attention of the stewards at Chelmsford (6f; last of four) on second start but she's struggled at big prices in both runs (maiden/classified) since; still unexposed but she needs major improvement upped in trip on handicap debut. |
(9) Qeyaady | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Paddy Bradley | Pat Phelan | Sole win was in France in May 2021; has dropped a long way in the weights but has a mixed record under Flat/jumps codes since October and was a remote sixth back in this sphere at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last time; others preferred. |
(10) Miss Tiki | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Ross Coakley | Marie Martin | Just one win from 18 starts and she failed to beat a rival on her stable debut at Lingfield (1m2f classified) in February; returns after another break and she needs a major revival back on turf; equipment removed. |
(4) Come To Pass | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | William Carson | Tony Carroll | Dual Polytrack winner (1m2f) in late 2022 and he's been placed three times on AW this winter; no joy back over hurdles in last two runs but his saddle slipped last time and he's not ruled out on this return to the Flat. |
1st (8) Chourmo | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | J F Egan | Mark Gillard | Drops back in trip, having been outstayed over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month, but he's still a maiden after 12 starts and has weak claims on bare 2024 form. |
(11) Rita Rana | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Christian Howarth | Adrian Wintle | Plenty of short-priced convictions to go with her sole win and she finished down the field in final three runs last season; far from straightforward but this step back up in trip looks a positive and she needs checking in the market on return. |
(7) Native Melody | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Billy Loughnane | Gay Kelleway | Won off 2lb higher at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) last August but she's had only four runs since and has struggled in three of them; now returns to turf after another break but she needs to get back near her best; reapplied cheekpieces replace blinkers. |
4th (5) Sunset In Paris | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Lewis Edmunds | J R Jenkins | Has won on AW in three of his last four starts, including when finishing well over 9.4f at Wolverhampton last month; only 1lb higher here and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to turf. |
3rd (3) The Conqueror | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Pat Cosgrave | Jim Boyle | Added to his three wins in Germany when scoring at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in December and he had some traffic issues there in January on his last run; now drops back in trip but he travelled smoothly for a long way last time and could be a big factor if he gets some luck. |
(2) Bletchley Storm | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Alistair Rawlinson | Michael Wigham | Off the mark at the 13th attempt when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in February but she was always in rear on her return visit last month; still unexposed on turf but she has something to prove again after that disappointing run last time. |
2nd (1) Global Tycoon | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Jack Mitchell | Joseph Parr | Recorded his third AW win when justifying support in good style at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last Saturday; 4lb higher back on turf but he's unexposed in this sphere and was a creditable third at Windsor (1m, good) in his last run on grass; respected. |
This could revolve around Sunset In Paris and GLOBAL TYCOON who have both been in winning form on AW this spring and are still unexposed on turf. The former is strongly respected in his hat-trick bid but slight preference is for Global Tycoon, who raised his form to a new level with a comfortable win at Wolverhampton last week. The Conqueror could be dangerous if he gets some luck on his drop back in trip, while another who could be in the mix is Come To Pass.[David Moon]
Race 270: 18:18 Tampa Bay Downs Race 3 - Maiden Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
5th (5) Drink N Wink | | | | | 3 | Alonso Quinonez | Bertram Manchan | Unplaced in both starts. Finished behind More Vino when fifth of 6 at 40-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Not fancied. |
2nd (4) Remerton | | | | | 3 | Carlos Lugo | Arnoud Dobber | Unplaced in all eight starts. Third of 6 behind Motskari beaten 1 1/4l at 17-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month. Claims on that form. |
3rd (1) Intolerable | | | | | 3 | Jose Batista | Juan Ramos | Unplaced in all six starts. Finished 17l behind Gav N Brody when fourth of 6 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Tough ask. |
4th (9) Paez | | | | | 3 | Gabriel Maldonado | Mauricio Nunez | Placed twice in seven starts. Finished behind Catalina Royalty when fourth of 6 at 14-5 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 5f earlier this month. Capable type. |
1st (3) Class Photo | | | | | 3 | Daniel Centeno | Arnaud Delacour | Dam won twice at 1m. Third of 10 behind Officer Derick beaten 4 1/2l at 4-1 on his racecourse debut at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. That was a good first run. |
(2) Right On Target | | | | | 3 | Manny Jimenez | Anthony Granitz | Half-brother to Happy Sailor, won five times at 5f and 6f. Watch the market on debut. |
(6) Spectacular Luck | | | | | 3 | Angel Arroyo | Michael Dini | Placed once in six starts. Finished 14l behind City Leader when fifth of 10 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Place claims at best. |
(7) Zhu Daddy | | | | | 3 | Marcos Meneses | Monica McGoey | Placed in three of seven starts. Finished 7l behind Officer Derick when fifth of 10 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Previous form gives him a chance. |
(8) Agent Mor | | | | | 3 | Huber Villa Gomez | Kevin Rice | Full brother to Anointed Spirit, won at 1m. An interesting newcomer. |
(10) Long Astride | | | | | 3 | Samy Camacho | Kathleen O'Connell | Placed once in two starts. Finished 8l behind Officer Derick when sixth of 10 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Main track only. |
CLASS PHOTO performed well for third on debut and normal improvement makes him a big player in this moderate maiden claimer. Paez and Remerton can also go well.
Race 271: 18:20 Aqueduct Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight - All Aqueduct Races
4th (4) Aleah Aleah | | | | | 3 | Eliseo Ruiz | James Ryerson | Placed twice in four starts. Beaten by Laser Sharp when second of eight at 14-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f earlier this month. Holds strong claims. |
2nd (2) Light The Way | | | | | 4 | Romero Maragh | Michelle Nevin | Unplaced in all five starts. Finished 5l behind Pricing Power when fifth of six at 16-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Has it all to do. |
3rd (5) Cage Match | | | | | 4 | Jose Gomez | Richard Dutrow, Jr | Half-brother to White Abarrio, won seven times between 6f and 1m 2f including three Group 1 races. Beaten 5l by Magic Express when second of seven at 15-2 on his racecourse debut at Aqueduct over 6f last month. The one to beat. |
1st (8) Contrary Thinking | | | | | 4 | Javier Castellano | Chad Brown | Half-brother to Tuscan Gold, won at 1m. A costly newcomer to note. |
(1) Treaty Obligation | | | | | 4 | Manuel Franco | Chad Brown | Placed twice in five starts. Beaten 1 3/4l by Abadin when second of 10 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 7f in July last year. Could make the frame again. |
(3) Frostelle | | | | | 3 | Eric Cancel | Chris Englehart | Half-brother to Digital Footprint, won three times at 6f and 1m. A tough task set on debut. |
(6) Mano E Mano | | | | | 3 | Dylan Davis | Wayne Potts | Half-brother to Never Surprised, won four times at 6f and 1m. May need the experience. |
(7) Discreet Bnb | | | | | 3 | Elijah Greenidge | Cleveland Johnson | Dam won at 7f. Others are preferred. |
Runner-up over further here on his debut last month, CAGE MATCH should have enough pace to handle the slight drop in distance and he is preferred to Aleah Aleah and newcomer Contrary Thinking.

5th (3) Heads Or Tails | | | | | 5 | Weston Hamilton | Derrick Parram | He has won four times at 6f. Beaten by Crownedcountcristo when second of 8 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f earlier this month. Worth a second look. |
3rd (2) Morning Thoughts | | | | | 5 | Jean Alvelo | Hugh McMahon | He has won three times from 5f to 7f. Finished behind Up Against It when fifth of 11 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m in January. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Elliot Sullivan. Unlikely to trouble his rivals. |
2nd (7) Aequor | | | | | 9 | Carlos Lopez | Bruno Tessore | Has won nine races from 6f to 1m. Third of 6 behind Commanding General beaten 1l at 10-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f last month. One to be interested in. |
4th (1) Big Rowdy Dan | | | | | 5 | Jevian Toledo | Anthony Farrior | He has won three times from 6f to 7f. Third of 6 behind Hotpot beaten 1/2l at 13-2 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Rodolfo Sanchez Salomon. More is required. |
1st (4) Addy's Laddy T N T | | | | | 5 | J G Torrealba | Henry Walters | He has won four times from 5f to 6f. Finished 2 1/4l behind Commanding General when fourth of 6 at 14-5 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f last month. Improvement required. |
(5) Austin From Boston | | | | | 6 | Christian Maldonado | Mario Serey, Jr | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. A winner at 17-4 at Laurel Park over 5f on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Casino Tricks. Holds an obvious chance. |
(6) Island D'Lite | | | | | 4 | Andres Chavez | W McMahon | He has won four times from 5f to 7f. Beaten 18l behind Despite Odds at 11-5 when last of 9 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f in December last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Kieron Magee. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
AUSTIN FROM BOSTON got up to score by a neck over an extended 5f here on his latest outing and he can follow up. Aequor and Big Rowdy Dan are others to note.
Race 273: 18:25 Nottingham Daily Football Offers At Rhino.Bet Handicap (0-62) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m 75y - All Nottingham Races
2nd (1) Contrast | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Joanna Mason | Michael & David Easterby | Course winner at 1m2f in 2022; went close over that same trip on Redcar reappearance last year but he rarely strays far from 1m2f and well held the last time he attempted 1m, back from an absence in 2022. |
4th (8) Bay Dream Believer | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Mark Winn | Mark Walford | Suited by the drop to 1m last May and terrier-like in seeing off rivals at Wetherby (1m, good); might have added another had she not been hampered at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) in July; excuses after and lacks a run but yard among the winners and has a squeak back on turf. |
(12) Haaf A Diamond | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Callum Hutchinson | Kevin Frost | Can do it either way, having made all in her second handicap, at Leicester (1m, good) last June, but was ridden more patiently when a strong-finishing third of 11 at Bath (1m, good to soft) in August; bowed out on a quiet note in the autumn but a contender if back on song. |
(9) Macho Sun | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Adam Farragher | Julia Feilden | Not yet off the mark but his two best runs have come on this track, most significantly when dividing subsequent winners in a C&D classified (soft) back from time off last April; mark has dropped and in the picture. |
3rd (4) The Spotlight Kid | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Robert Havlin | Dean Ivory | Handles soft ground but both wins have come over 7f at Yarmouth and he looks a non-stayer at 1m more often than not; limited appeal on first run back from winter break. |
(11) Tonal | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Paddy Mathers | Ian Williams | Confirmed earlier promise when winning cosily on Wolverhampton AW (about 1m1f) in February; the quick return under a penalty didn't work out and was aiming high in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (pulled hard and saw too much daylight); this is more his level and he still has potential. |
1st (3) Ardbraccan | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Frederick Larson | Michael Appleby | Sole win was the best part of three years ago; not badly treated on C&D form on good to firm last May but she's done virtually all her racing on sound surfaces so soft ground could open a can of worms. |
(5) Realised | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | George Wood | Harry Eustace | Dam bred several useful types, including two Listed winners; this one was unraced as 2yo and showed only a glimmer of ability in her qualifying runs at 7f and 1m in the autumn; however, no great surprise if she turned a corner back from a break in an ordinary handicap; market can guide. |
(10) My Mate Mike | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Darragh Keenan | Dean Ivory | Had few chances and his powerful finish to lead close home on Lingfield AW (7f) in February augured well for the future; however he ran no sort of race there next time and goes into the unknown in his first 1m handicap and on ground slower than good. |
(2) Cariad | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Liam Wright | George Scott | Four AW wins at 1m; maiden on turf but has run some good races over C&D and lost out only late on soft to well-treated one last July; has worn different forms of headgear, first-time visor today; has won after a break and up the pecking order. |
(7) Seattle Time | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Dylan Hogan | Jack Jones | Maiden; can look an awkward ride but he did good late work over 7f on Polytrack last month and soft ground was no hindrance when runner-up at Yarmouth (7f) in September; looks worth another go at 1m and handicapper has let out an inch of rein. |
(6) Glencalvie | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Josephine Gordon | Phil McEntee | On the go since August and had flagged in recent AW starts but she was well handicapped back on turf at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last week and took advantage; back up 3lb and while she's no soft-ground specialist she seems to handle slower conditions; thereabouts. |
Glencalvie has less to prove than some following her Yarmouth win last week but the different ground conditions are a query. CARIAD gave a feisty show against a progressive one over C&D last summer when seemingly suited by soft ground and he might be the answer to an open race. Realised is worth a market check on her handicap debut while Macho Sun is also of interest.[Emily Weber]
Race 274: 18:30 Le Croise-Laroche De L'Hospice Comtesse Handicap - All Le Croise-Laroche Races
3rd (10) Bawe Island | | | | | 3 | L Boisseau | Boutin (S) | Runner-up in a Handicap last time out at Nancy over 1400m on the 4 of April.Improved in the latest effort and can have a say |
4th (11) Wahayeb | | | | | 3 | F Valle Skar | M Guarnieri | Finished hird in a Handicap last time out at this track over 1100m on the 22 of March. Can confirm the latest run and be involved in the finish |
1st (6) Tempo | | | | | 3 | L Rousseau | H A Pantall | A runner-up in a Handicap last time out at Chantilly over 1300m on the 30 of March.Has sufficient means to fight for the victory |
2nd (8) Rue Mia | | | | | 3 | H Boutin | Boutin (S) | Third in a Handicap last time out at Chantilly over 1400m on the 15 of April.Was behind WAITING CALL (9) and WAHAYEB (11) but can reverse the form |
(1) Revanche | | | | | 3 | A Madamet | C H Plisson | A winner of Handicap last time out at Salon-de-Provence over 1100m on the 3 of April. A winner for the new stable and can follow up |
(2) Chunka Wakan | | | | | 3 | M Justum | S Gouvaze | Finished 9th in a Handicap at Deauville over 1300m on the 25 of January. Might be needing the run back |
(3) Bayliner | | | | | 3 | P Bazire | F Vermeulen | Unplaced in a Handicap last tiem out at Chantilly over 13000m on the 30 of March. Better weighted and can play a role in the finish |
(4) Rhetorique | | | | | 3 | D Provost | C Laffon-Parias | Finished 7th in a Handicap at this track over 1100m on the 22 of March. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(5) Rumpleteazer | | | | | 3 | H Journiac | B And Beaunez | Was 6th in a Conditions race at Fontainebleau over 1400m on the 2 of April.. More is needed to win this race |
(7) Amoureuse | | | | | 3 | C Belmont | P&f & Renaut | Was 6th in Claimer at Argentan over 1300m on the 11 of April. Two poor runs since returning from a break |
(9) Waiting Call | | | | | 3 | C Berge | C Boutin | Won a Handicap last time out at this track over 1100m on the 22 of March. Penalised 2kg for beating WAHAYEB (11) et RUE MIA (8). Can have a say again |
(12) Prince Shalaa | | | | | 3 | D Santiago | Mme J Dupont-Fahn | Unplaced in a Handicap at Chantilly over 1900m on the 28 of March. Would be a shock winner |
Inconsistent of late, although particularly efficient with Australian blinkers, TEMPO (6) seems the most likely winner of this race, especially if judged on the form of his last start (2nd) in a 1300m PSF handicap at Chantilly last month. RUE MIA (8) fits a similar profile, though, having finished 3rd on the turf at Chantilly last Monday, so should fight for victory. WAHAYEB (11) lines up here in good form and physical condition with legitimate ambitions too, after finishing 3rd over course and
Race 275: 18:32 Keeneland Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight - All Keeneland Races
2nd (4) Penny's Smile | | | | | 3 | Alex Achard | Philip Sims | Dam a lightly raced maiden. She would be a surprise winner. |
3rd (12) Zen Moment | | | | | 3 | Charle Oliveros | Eric Reed | Half-sister to Ox Eyed Daisy, won at 1m. Finished 2 1/2l behind Yuma's Shadow when fourth of 11 at 15-1 on her racecourse debut at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Others appeal more. |
4th (10) Up On The Edge | | | | | 3 | Flavien Prat | Rodolphe Brisset | Placed in three of six starts. Beaten 13l behind Bette Davis at 13-5fav when seventh of 11 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in December last year. Has the ability to play a leading role. |
1st (11) Winakaching | | | | | 3 | Martin Garcia | Dale Romans | Half-sister to Metropol, won three times at 6f and 1m. Third of 11 behind Yuma's Shadow beaten 1 1/4l at 19-2 on her racecourse debut at Turfway Park over 6f last month. That experience ought to stand her in good stead. |
(1) Ice Water | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Robert Medina | Placed once in two starts. Beaten 2 3/4l by Parola Sicura when second of 4 at 21-20fav on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Can make her presence felt. |
(2) Sailing | | | | | 3 | Irad Ortiz Jr | Claude McGaughey III | Dam won five times at 1m. Jockey booking is a positive and she is worth a second look. |
(3) Above All Else | | | | | 3 | Luan Machado | Anna Navarrete | Half-sister to Bye Bye Bobby, won six times between 6f and 1m 1f. Best watched. |
(5) Queen Anna T | | | | | 3 | Declan Cannon | Andrew McKeever | Dam won at 5f. Recent workouts would suggest she might need more time. |
(6) Classy'n Connected | | | | | 3 | Edgar Morales | Thomas Drury, Jr | Placed in three of seven starts. Beaten a neck by Yuma's Shadow when second of 11 at 11-4fav on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Holds every chance. |
(7) Evocation | | | | | 3 | L Dettori | Caio Caramori | Unplaced in all five starts. Finished 10l behind Voice From Above when sixth of 8 at 3-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in February. She is wearing blinkers for the first time, which will need to spark some improvement. |
(8) Princess Is Olivia | | | | | 3 | Axel Concepcion | Juan Cano | Placed in four of six starts. Beaten 5l by Marmalade Skye when second of 8 at 9-5fav on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Could land a blow. |
(9) Aaralyn | | | | | 3 | Corey Lanerie | Jeff Hiles | Placed in three of six starts. Beaten 8l behind Sweet Mimi at 9-1 when 11th of 12 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) in January. Enters calculations. |
PRINCESS IS OLIVIA has been knocking on the door in recent starts and any further improvement can see her shed the maiden tag. Classy'n Connected and Aaralyn head the remainder.

2nd (10) Flying Colours | | | | | 3 | Adrian Maximiliano Giannetti | Jose Lofiego | Work to do. |
1st (1) Wind Gate | | | | | 3 | William Pereyra | Nicolas Martin | Has to be of some interest. |
3rd (11) Carta Escondida | | | | | 3 | Juan Carlos Noriega | Roberto Pellegatta | Could be in the mix. |
4th (6) Harlan's Rim | | | | | 3 | Martin Javier Valle | Juan Etchechoury | A key player. |
(2) Asperity Queen | | | | | 3 | Alexis Ariel Allois | Luis Gomez | Has it all to do. |

Race 277: 18:35 Thirsk Happy 19th Birthday Lily Watkinson Handicap (Div II) (0-75) (5) 4yo+ GB 6f - All Thirsk Races
(5) Miss Bella Brand | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Silvestre De Sousa | Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque | Multiple 6f winner, the most recent turf successes on soft last spring; now 2lb lower than the latest of them but well held on AW last month and now has headgear fitted for the first time in a long career. |
4th (13) Asadjumeirah | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Cam Hardie | Antony Brittain | Has won on good to soft but suited by good ground, as for his latest turf win, over C&D two years ago; well beaten on heavy here 11 days ago and has ground worries again. |
(12) Hurstwood | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | William Pyle | Peter Niven | Not weighted out of it but soundly beaten in all three C&D runs and has yet to shine on his reappearance so easy enough to pass over. |
(10) Patontheback | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Rowan Scott | Gemma Tutty | Three AW wins at 6f and 7f but yet to win in 14 attempts on turf; has form over 6f on grass but this easy test looked inadequate over C&D last June and others look more likely. |
(1) Our Absent Friends | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Jason Hart | Tristan Davidson | Not in great form on the AW of late but he was suited by his first attempt over 6f on soft when a clear winner at Ayr in July and he's now back on the same mark; may well revive under suitable conditions. |
(6) Shandy Star | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jonny Peate | Roger Fell & Sean Murray | Three 6f wins as 2yo, on good and good to soft ground, but her 3yo season was hard work; down a long way in the weights, though, and heavy-ground reappearance defeat can be excused; not entirely ruled out back at 6f. |
(11) Lord Abama | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Connor Beasley | Michael Dods | Came closest to a first win when a neck runner-up at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last June, having looked as though this easier test at the trip was too sharp for him in a division of this race (soft) the time before; seems likely others will have the legs of him again. |
(2) William Dewhirst | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Paul Mulrennan | Ben Haslam | C&D maiden winner on heavy last spring; gives impression he has more to come as a 4yo as he didn't get an entirely clear passage when beating a fair yardstick over 7f at Carlisle (good to soft) in September; drawn on the flank and might need a stiffer test now but still considered. |
2nd (7) Harry's Halo | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Cieren Fallon | Kevin Frost | Won final two 6f starts as 2yo (good to soft and heavy); quite temptingly treated on best form last summer but he couldn't sustain it and failed to shine for the drop to 5f at Doncaster last month (favourite); first time in this headgear combination, has worn both separately; bit to prove now. |
3rd (3) Minnesota Lad | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Oisin Orr | Richard Fahey | Sole win in 5f maiden as 2yo (good to firm; after a break) but effective under today's conditions, having gone close at Doncaster (6f, soft) in August, and his AW run in November was encouraging; primed for a big run for in-form stable. |
(9) Blazing Son | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | David Nolan | Bryan Smart | Good AW strike-rate and comes here in good form but just 1-19 on turf and not obviously ahead of his mark now returned to this surface; does have C&D form, though, and he shouldn't be far away. |
(4) Mereside Diva | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Callum Rodriguez | David & Nicola Barron | Has won two of six 6f handicaps, on good to firm and soft; up just 2lb for a Redcar win in October and she went well on her 2023 reappearance so one to be interested in with the chance of doing better as a 4yo. |
1st (8) Gulliver | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Jason Watson | David O'Meara | Top-class 6f handicapper on turf in his time but losing run on grass goes back to 2020; however, he had a shocking run in a better race than this over C&D in September (sole course start) and makes some appeal off 12lb lower back on turf; strong form on good and soft ground. |
The handicap door has been opened for Gulliver and he can be dangerous off this relatively lowly mark but OUR ABSENT FRIENDS had some good subsequent winners behind when successful at Ayr in July, which is the only time he's run over 6f on soft ground. Minnesota Lad, Mereside Diva and William Dewhirst are others who could be in the picture.[Emily Weber]
Race 278: 18:40 Oaklawn Park Race 2 - Starter Allowance - All Oaklawn Park Races
3rd (6) Man On The Moon | | | | | 6 | Keith Asmussen | Thomas Vance | Winner of six races from 7f to 1m. Well beaten at 16-5 behind Boogie Bode when 11th of 12 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m earlier this month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with W Calhoun. Others might have his measure. |
4th (1) Nepal Up | | | | | 8 | Rafael Bejarano | Thomas Van | He has won four times from 1m to 1m 3f. Finished 9l behind Huge Bigly when sixth of 7 at 14-5 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m 1f earlier this month. Needs to put that effort behind him. |
2nd (2) Fightertown | | | | | 4 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Lindsay Schultz | He has won three times at 1m. Won on his latest outing when 17-10fav at Oaklawn Park over 1m in February, beating Chelsea Dagger by 6l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ingrid Mason. One to consider. |
1st (4) Polterer | | | | | 6 | Francisco Arrieta | Greg Compton | Has won ten races at 1m. Beaten 3 1/2l by Huge Bigly when second of 7 at 13-10fav on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m 1f earlier this month. Consistent enough to play a hand. |
(3) R Doc | | | | | 5 | Ramsey Zimmerman | Danele Durham | He has won three times at 1m. Well beaten at 45-1 behind Shacks Way when last of 9 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m earlier this month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
(5) Golden Bandit | | | | | 4 | Gabriel Saez | Coty Rosin | Successful at 7f and 1m. Beaten 17l behind Private Creed at 55-1 when last of 12 on his latest outing in the Grade 2 Exacta Systems Franklin-Simpson Stakes at Kentucky Downs over 6f (good) in September last year. He will appreciate this drop in grade. |
(7) W W Crazy | | | | | 6 | Walter De La Cruz | Tammy Hornsby | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m. Finished 8l behind Huge Bigly when fifth of 7 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m 1f earlier this month. Difficult to make a case for. |
(8) Cool Memory | | | | | 4 | Jose Ortiz | S Joseph Jr | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 7-10fav at Gulfstream over 1m last month, beating Dontkissdaminister. Worth a second look. |
This represents a fair drop in grade for GOLDEN BANDIT, which can help him return to winning ways. Fightertown and Cool Memory might give him the most to think about.
Race 279: 18:42 Gulfstream Race 2 - Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
5th (6) Hechicero | | | | | 3 | Jesus Rios | Eniel Cordero | A winner at 13-5 at Gulfstream over 1m on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Builder Jak by a head. Likely to be heavily involved again. |
3rd (5) Battle Of Dover | | | | | 3 | Sonny Leon | Steve Budhoo | Won on his latest outing when 2-1jt-fav at Gulfstream over 1m in January, beating Heathcliff. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ronald Coy. Could be hard to beat with a similar effort here. |
2nd (8) Please Baby | | | | | 4 | Chris Landeros | Eddie Owens | A winner at 17-5 at Gulfstream over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Phobia. Respected but this is a much stiffer test. |
1st (1) Uncaptured Boy | | | | | 4 | Edgard Zayas | Ronald Spatz | A winner at 1m on good ground. Beaten 11l behind Gambling Holiday at 28-1 when 10th of 11 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) last month. This demands a more concerted effort. |
4th (2) Lucky Lucky Luke | | | | | 4 | Emisael Jaramillo | Michael Maker | A winner at 1m on the all-weather. Finished 5l behind Kingfish Stevens when fourth of 10 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. A place is probably his best hope. |
(3) Morethanicanhandle | | | | | 5 | Paco Lopez | Kelly Breen | A winner at 1m on good ground. Beaten 13l behind E Minor at 19-5 when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Placed second on his penultimate start and rates a player on that basis. |
(4) Go Go Ge | | | | | 3 | Fernando Jara | Antonio Sano | A winner at 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 18l behind Ice The Kicker at 9-2 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m earlier this month. One of the more likelier winners. |
(7) Darth | | | | | 3 | Leonel Reyes | Laura Cazares | A winner at 1m on the all-weather. Well beaten at 18-1 behind Echo Lane when last of 8 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m earlier this month. Has the ability to figure and warrants a betting check. |
BATTLE OF DOVER was a convincing winner last time out and a repeat success is a strong possibility while he is on such an upward curve. Go Go Ge and Hechicero can chase the selection home.
Race 280: 18:45 Brighton bet365 Handicap (Div II) (0-52) (6) 4yo+ GB 1m 1f 207y - All Brighton Races
2nd (11) Irezumi | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Charlie Bennett | Jim Boyle | 0-12; has shown occasional promise but was tailed off on the AW two weeks ago after a lengthy break. |
(12) Beau Geste | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Jack Doughty | Tony Carroll | Has plenty of form around here but this exposed 8yo has been struggling for a while. |
(6) Barbarosa | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Jack Mitchell | Clare Hobson | Won a classified event at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) in February on second run for this yard; has been finding life a lot tougher in handicaps. |
(10) Naadyaa | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Alice Bond | Alexandra Dunn | Close third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton on her penultimate run but down the field there next time and she's now 0-33. |
(9) Bbob Alula | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | William Carson | Bill Turner | Never won beyond 1m but finished well for a close third over this far at Lingfield (AW) in October on final appearance and is closely matched with the fourth Jimmy Mark; hard to rule out. |
(8) Jimmy Mark | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | William Cox | Stuart Kittow | Dual 1m2f winner (on good and quicker ground) at Bath, the latest in September off just 2lb lower; ran well on the AW next time and heavy ground was a feasible excuse in his final run; seems fine with undulations and could have a say if relatively straight after his break. |
(5) Forever Proud | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Aidan Keeley | Mark Hoad | Mostly consistent at about this trip on the AW through the winter; has comparable form on turf, so she's one with each-way claims. |
3rd (7) Gilbert | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Ethan Jones | Adam West | Course winner who was close up on the AW at Kempton (1m4f) in his penultimate race but was beaten 11l at Lingfield back from a break; has each-way claims but his good days are hard to predict. |
(3) Velvet Vulcan | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Kevin Stott | Mike Murphy & Michael Keady | 1m4f winner on the AW and perhaps bettered that form when finishing well for second over the same trip back at Lingfield two weeks ago; clear chance if transferring his form to this track/course on turf debut. |
4th (2) Total Lockdown | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Billy Loughnane | Martin Dunne | 100-1 but finished close up over 1m at Southwell a month ago after dropping in the weights; has form claims but can be slowly away and is probably not one to trust. |
(4) Roman Tempest | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Harry Davies | Simon Dow | Has never been that consistent but he won with a good bit to spare over C&D (soft) when last seen in October; returns off 6lb higher and it's difficult to know whether he'll be as good this time. |
1st (1) Chinthurst | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Pat Cosgrave | Jim Boyle | Now 0-11 but has form figures of 222 in 7f/1m2f handicaps here and he was dropped in from a wide draw when a never-dangerous fifth of 16 on the Lingfield AW 15 days ago (first run for 169 days; behind Velvet Vulcan); it's easy to envisage him leaving that form behind back here. |
The interesting horse is CHINTHURST who has finished runner-up in all three visits here and whose recent AW return was highly encouraging. Velvet Vulcan, who was ahead of the selection at Lingfield but has no turf form, could be the danger. Bbob Alula, Jimmy Mark and Roman Tempest are others to consider.[Alistair Jones]

2nd (6) Keep It Sexy | | | | | 4 | Francisco Martinez | Chris Englehart | A winner at evens at Aqueduct over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Hot Candy. Another good run can be expected. |
3rd (3) Love Like Crazy | | | | | 3 | Jose Lezcano | Linda Rice | A winner at 6f. Finished 7l behind Tavin when fifth of nine at 5-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f last month. One to avoid. |
4th (1) Army Of Thoughts | | | | | 4 | Lane Luzzi | Wayne Potts | A winner at 7f. Beaten 1 1/4l by Ms Hayley when second of seven at 16-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Can go one better. |
1st (5) Ghostly Girl | | | | | 4 | Samuel Jr Camacho | John Toscano, Jr | A winner at 1m. Finished behind Voleuse when last of six at 28-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f earlier this month. Easily overlooked. |
(2) Proper Grammar | | | | | 6 | Omar Moreno Hernandez | John Pregman, Jr | A winner at 6f, but that win was over two years ago. Finished behind Take Time To Dream when last of six at 9-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m earlier this month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
(4) Shasi | | | | | 4 | Luis Rivera Jr | David Donk | A winner at 6f. Third of seven behind Ms Hayley beaten 3 1/2l at 10-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. A leading contender. |
(7) Rosemary Potatoes | | | | | 5 | Eliseo Ruiz | Marcelo Arenas | A winner at 4f, but that win was over two years ago. Finished behind Strange Fruit when fifth of six at 16-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Unlikely to figure. |
ARMY OF THOUGHTS had Shasi (third) behind when runner-up here last time out and she is taken to regain the winning thread on this occasion. A winner over 1m here on her most recent start, Keep It Sexy must also enter calculations.
Race 282: 18:55 Tampa Bay Downs Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
3rd (6) Azure Sky | | | | | 5 | Gabriel Maldonado | Alejandro Mendieta | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f. Beaten 12l behind Castagno at 55-1 when last of 10 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m 1f (good) in December last year. Might just need this. |
5th (8) Greyzer | | | | | 6 | Angel Arroyo | Karla De | Winner of seven races from 7f to 1m. Well beaten at 13-1 behind Conspiracy Fact when last of 9 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m in December last year. Look elsewhere. |
2nd (7) Street Glide | | | | | 5 | Jose Batista | Juan Arriagada | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f. Beaten 3l by Hercules when second of 7 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Dennis Manning. Would be no surprise winner. |
4th (1) Guillaume | | | | | 6 | Angel Rodriguez | Pablo Torres | Has won eight races from 5f to 1m. Third of 9 behind Golden Juan beaten 1 1/2l at 22-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. One to respect. |
1st (5) Passage Of Lines | | | | | 6 | Charlie Marquez | Jamie Ness | Has won 11 races from 5f to 1m. A winner at 2-1 at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Sir Saffer by 2 1/4l. Arrives in great nick. |
(2) Sir Lumpalot | | | | | 4 | Melissa Iorio | Gerald James | He has won three times at 1m. Third of 7 behind Tommy Bee beaten 1/2l at 14-5 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jamie Ness. Noted. |
(3) No More Debt | | | | | 4 | Manny Jimenez | Elis Roque | He has won three times from 7f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 6-4fav at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month, beating Mean Tweets. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ron Potts, and should go well. |
(4) Doin'Ittherightway | | | | | 5 | Daniel Centeno | Michael Simone | Has won eight races from 6f to 1m. Beaten by Golden Juan when second of 7 at 13-5 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. Capable type. |
(9) Shane's Jewel | | | | | 9 | Antonio Gallardo | Bernell Rhone | Has won 15 races from 5f to 1m. Finished behind Prince Marco when fourth of 7 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f earlier this month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Campbell. Might find a couple too good. |
Plenty in with chances here and PASSAGE OF LINES just edges it on the form of his latest success at this venue. Sir Lumpalot, No More Debt and Street Glide can also have their say.
Race 283: 18:55 Laurel Park Race 4 - Claiming - All Laurel Park Races
2nd (2) In The Dance | | | | | 3 | Jeiron Barbosa | John Robb | Successful at 6f and 1m. Finished behind Derbyness when fourth of eight at 13-2 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Faces a stiff assignment. |
1st (5) Rakia | | | | | 3 | Jevian Toledo | Brittany Russell | A winner at 6f. Beaten by Derbyness when second of eight at 18-5 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Others are preferred. |
4th (7) Magical Monarch | | | | | 3 | Mychel Sanchez | Jamie Ness | He has won three times at 1m. A winner at 5-2 at Laurel Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Surfboard. Can land the four-timer. |
3rd (3) Derbyness | | | | | 3 | Jaime Rodriguez | Jamie Ness | He has won three times at 1m. Won on his latest outing when 19-10fav at Laurel Park over 1m last month, beating Rakia. Holds every chance. |
(1) Mister Agent | | | | | 3 | J G Torrealba | Somraj Singh | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 13-10fav at Laurel Park over 1m last month, beating Brysons Option. Another good run can be expected. |
(4) Buckin' Dreamer | | | | | 3 | Angel Cruz | Joanne Shankle | A winner at 5f. Third of eight behind Derbyness beaten at 19-2 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Improvement required. |
(6) Eddie Felson | | | | | 3 | Carlos Lopez | Mark Shuman | A winner at 1m. Finished behind Malinois when fifth of seven at 17-2 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
MAGICAL MONARCH has been in terrific form of late and the four-timer looks like a distinct possibility for the son of Good Magic. Derbyness and Mister Agent are capable of being in the shake-up too.
Race 284: 18:55 Nottingham Follow Us On X @betrhino Handicap (0-68) (5) 4yo+ GB 2m - All Nottingham Races
(4) Man Of Riddles | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Grace McEntee | Max Young | Bounced back to form to cause 33-1 surprise at Chelmsford (2m) in January but below par twice since; down the field on his three previous attempts on turf. |
(3) Anisoptera | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Laura Pearson | Brett Johnson | Two creditable placed efforts at Chelmsford since fitted with cheekpieces (beaten only 2l when sixth a week ago); has done the vast majority of her racing on AW but was runner-up on turf earlier in her career. |
(7) Shadowfax | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Joanna Mason | Michael Appleby | Scored in first-time cheekpieces at Chelmsford (1m6f) last November but he been beaten upwards of 23l in all four starts since; now 1lb below his winning mark but he needs a refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie combination to spark a major turnaround back on turf. |
1st (5) Queensland Boy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Paddy Mathers | Ian Williams | Two creditable placed efforts on Polytrack (1m4f/1m6f) in December but below-form sixth twice since; needs a return to turf (won over 11.5f at Windsor last summer) to spark a revival. |
3rd (6) Young Merlin | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Frederick Larson | Amy Murphy | Notched three hurdle wins on joining this yard last summer, including on soft; not seen since November but on a low mark judged on those hurdle exploits and his peak Flat form; interesting. |
4th (2) Greatness Awaits | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Callum Hutchinson | Ben Pauling | Dual soft-ground winner who, fit from hurdling, has recorded respectable fifths over 1m6f at Chelmsford in recent weeks; not dismissed back on turf with ground conditions to suit. |
2nd (1) Clansman | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Sam Feilden | Liam Bailey | Underlined how well he goes in the mud with a 7l win at Thirsk (1m4f) last week and won by even further at Ripon (1m6f, heavy) on Thursday; effectively another 6lb higher if turned out again but it's offset by his rider's claim and he'll make a bold bid if coping with the quick turnaround. |
This is a quick turnaround for the thriving Clansman after Ripon on Thursday so it might be worth taking him on with YOUNG MERLIN. Amy Murphy's charge was rated in the mid-70s the last time he ran on the Flat in Britain and three hurdle wins for this yard last summer suggests most of that ability remains. [Andrew Sheret]
Race 285: 19:02 Le Croise-Laroche De La Villa Cavrois Handicap - All Le Croise-Laroche Races
1st (2) L'Enfant Terrible | | | | | 4 | A Bertiaux | P Bertiaux | Finished 5th in a Handicap at Mons over 2100m on the 25 of March. The penultimate start to the was a third and can take a minor position |
2nd (8) City Cat | | | | | 6 | A Madamet | Rosen Naskov | Was 5th in a Handicap Cologne over 1850m on the 1 of April. Consistent sort and a similar effort can be made |
3rd (1) Analeon | | | | | 10 | D Santiago | Mme C Whitfield | Disappointing last run when 6th in a handicap at Lyon La Soie over 3200m on 6 April. Capable of better and could make the frame |
4th (10) Sweet Betsy | | | | | 6 | L Wolff | H Grewe | A runner-up in a Handicap at Nancy over 2000m on the 4 of April. Consistent sort that deserves to be respected |
(3) Sweet Devildarling | | | | | 4 | Lhw Dieteren | N Lantsoght | Was 7th in a Conditions race at Moulins over 2400m on the 14 of April. Can play a minor role |
(4) Kastin Des Sources | | | | | 4 | J Moutard | A Vermeire | Unplaced in a Handicap at Mons over 2100m on the 25 of March. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(5) Mehgaway | | | | | 4 | P Cheyer | A Fouassier | A runner-up last time out in a Handicap at Nantes over 3100m on the 6 of April. Runner up twice and will be looking to go one better |
(6) Circo Massimo | | | | | 5 | H Boutin | G Courbot | Modest form of late and was finished 8th in a Handicap at Argentan over 1900m on the 11 of April. Second on this track last spring and can be involved in the finish |
(7) Rue De Volga | | | | | 5 | C Berge | B Koninck | Finished 7th at Mons over 2300m on the 9 of April. Two below-par efforts since returning from a break |
(9) Arya | | | | | 4 | L Boisseau | Mme V Dissaux | Unplaced in a Handicap last time out at Chantilly over 1600m on the 4 of April. Stepping up in distance and can contest the finish |
MEHGAWAY (5), who finished 4th over course and distance in her only visit to this track, makes an ambitious trip with her sights set on success. She gets the nod ahead of in-form SWEET BETSY (10), a winner here over 1800m before her recent 2nd at Nancy, and CIRCO MASSIMO (6) who has a good opportunity to redeem himself after a recent failure (8th) by playing a role in the finish. ARYA (9) completes the shortlist.
Race 286: 19:04 Keeneland Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Keeneland Races
4th (1) One Red Cent | | | | | 3 | Gerardo Corrales | Jon Jazdzewski | A winner at 6f. Beaten 19l behind Honor Marie at 70-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing in the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs over 1m in November last year. Up against it. |
2nd (5) Knicks Storm | | | | | 3 | Luan Machado | Ben Colebrook | A winner at 6f. Third of 7 behind Billal beaten at 15-1 on his latest outing at Keeneland over 6f earlier this month. Respected. |
3rd (6) Iridescent | | | | | 3 | Irad Ortiz Jr | David Jacobson | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten by Ridgewood Runner when second of 7 at 5-4fav on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in February. Not ruled out. |
1st (4) Mr Skylight | | | | | 3 | Junior Alvarado | Riley Mott | Won on his latest outing when 6-5fav at Gulfstream over 6f last month, beating Unequivocally by 1/2l. High on the shortlist. |
(2) Nave | | | | | 3 | Walter Rodriguez | Tanner Tracy | A winner at 5f. Well beaten at 22-1 behind Glengarry when last of 7 on his latest outing at Prairie Meadows over 6f in October last year. Will do well to win this. |
(3) Motor City | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Brett Brinkman | A winner at 5f. Third of 7 behind Honky Tonk Highway beaten at 16-1 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f last month. Could land a blow. |
MR SKYLIGHT produced an impressive speed figure when winning on his second career start last month. The son of Practical Joke can repel the likely challenge of Knicks Storm to double his tally, while Motor City is taken to chase the pair home.
Race 287: 19:05 San Isidro Race 5 - Allowance ARG 0m 5f 103y - All San Isidro Races
5th (5) Sprightly | | | | | 7 | Luis Fernando Vai | Fabian Olivera | More needed to figure. |
6th (6) Manipuladora Star | | | | | 6 | Francisco Jesus Lavigna | Mauricio Chachague | Unlikely to figure. |
2nd (1) Vulgaria | | | | | 6 | Mauro Dario Giles | Mauro Giles | Not fancied. |
1st (4) Fragoscopica | | | | | 7 | Marcos Agustin Alfaro | Hector Korell | Entitled to be thereabouts. |
4th (2) Eras Otra | | | | | 6 | Jorge Luis Peralta | Mario Turquieto | Bit to prove here. |
3rd (3) Ortiza | | | | | 6 | Tomas Daniel Baez | Mario Ricciuto | The one to be with. |
(7) Lebac | | | | | 6 | Luciano Matias Recuero | Mariano Penna | Warrants serious consideration. |
Race 288: 19:05 Thirsk Follow @vickersracing On X Handicap (0-90) (3) 4yo+ GB 1m 4f 8y - All Thirsk Races
(15) Tessy Lad | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Cam Hardie | Sam England | Four Flat wins at up to 1m4f for Richard Hughes but poor hurdle form for new yard this winter and fared no better back on Flat (AW) last month; has a first-time tongue tie added to the hood he wore last time; plenty to prove at present |
1st (9) Two Brothers | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Billy Garritty | Michael & David Easterby | Successful three times last term, including at York (1m4f, good to soft) on final outing; weakened as if probably needing the run when fourth on his 1m4f Doncaster reappearance four weeks ago; won second time up last season; ground conditions fine; should go well. |
(11) Dark Moon Rising | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Shane Gray | Kevin Ryan | Won at York (1m4f, good) last July but ran a bit below that level in three subsequent outings last year; successful on 2022 reappearance but below par on previous attempt on soft; others have more pressing claims. |
(12) Strawman | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Connor Beasley | Gemma Tutty | Had a near miss over C&D last September and ended 2023 with an AW win at Newcastle (1m4f); placed off 2lb higher on soft on his 2023 reappearance; each-way claims. |
(1) Emiyn | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Harrison Shaw | Declan Carroll | Best known for front-running exploits at Chester; well beaten in this race last year and got to be a chance he's using this as a prep for Chester next month. |
3rd (3) Torcello | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Joe Fanning | Shaun Lycett | Front-runner; 11 wins, the latest in a three-runner contest at Pontefract (1m4f, heavy) 18 days ago; conditions to suit but he's in a much more competitive race this time. |
(5) Mr Le Philosophe | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Oisin Orr | Rebecca Menzies | Hard to get excited by his three hurdle runs since joining this yard but he was a two-time Flat winner in France (1m4f, good to soft/very soft) last year; tongue-tie off, first-time visor on now back on the level; a watching brief is advised unless the betting hints otherwise. |
(13) Roost | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Silvestre De Sousa | Ralph Beckett | Came home well to collect over 1m4f at Ffos Las (good to soft; handles softer) last August; not so good at Nottingham final start but it's of some interest that a leading stable has persevered with him as a 4yo; has had wind surgery; on the shortlist. |
(4) Charging Thunder | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Jason Watson | David O'Meara | Effective at 1m4f-1m6f with varied tactics; got near his best form only once from five starts last year but as a result has dipped to his lowest mark since the middle of 2022; has gone well fresh before. |
(6) Forza Orta | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Rowan Scott | Kevin Ryan | Suited by the step up to 2m when winning a competitive handicap at last year's York Ebor meeting; might have found the run coming too soon when well held in Old Borough Cup at Haydock (1m6f) 17 days later; makes his reappearance in this race for the third year running (creditable third in 2022 but below-form fifth last year). |
2nd (16) Fleur De Mer | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jason Hart | Hugo Palmer | Has added to her solid AW record when placed at Kempton (1m3f) and Newcastle (1m4f) this year; hard to know whether she'll be as effective back on turf (three previous attempts were over much shorter trips at start of her career) but her stable's recent form is a definite plus. |
4th (10) Faylaq | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Paul Mulrennan | Jim Goldie | Creditable fourth on 1m2f Newcastle reappearance five weeks ago; that was a promising run but it's hard to escape the fact that he hasn't won since September 2019. |
(7) Arrange | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | David Nolan | Martin Todhunter | Refused to race when cheekpieces went on at Ripon last summer but firmly back on the up without headgear in the autumn, winning over 1m3f at Carlisle (good to firm) and 1m6f at Catterick (soft) in September; good second at York (2m) final start; this versatile mare still looks feasibly handicapped if fully primed after six months off. |
(14) Kardia | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Callum Rodriguez | Edward Bethell | Low-mileage sort who won a 1m4f maiden in the mud last spring and showed her opening handicap mark to be workable when third of 11 over 1m4f at Newmarket (heavy) in November; hood worn previously left off; the stable won this with a lightly raced improver last year and a repeat would come as no surprise. |
(8) Fairbanks | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Saffie Osborne | Andrew Balding | Big improver switched to handicaps and fitted with a visor early last summer, completing a hat-trick around 1m4f in small field at Goodwood (good to firm) in June; not seen since (gelded) and his wide draw could make it tricky to get a good position but there could easily be more to come this year; it'll be interesting to see how much strength there is behind him in the betting. |
(2) To Catch A Thief | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Cieren Fallon | William Haggas | Promise on turf in the first half of 2023 and he returned from five months off to comfortably win a novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and handicap at Newcastle (1m2f) at the end of last year; disappointed on his hat-trick bid at Newcastle on New Year's Day but this low-mileage 4yo retains potential now stepping up to 1m4f for the first time on his return to turf. |
Ed Bethell won this with a lightly raced improver last year and it might be worth siding with him to repeat the feat as KARDIA should have more to offer after only four starts. Her Newmarket handicap debut third last November shows that her mark is fair and she won on soft on her 2023 reappearance, so there are reasons to be positive. To Catch A Thief (second choice), Fairbanks and Roost are other low-mileage 4yos who could have their best days ahead of them. The shortlist is completed by Two Brothers, who won second time out last year. [Andrew Sheret]
Race 289: 19:10 Oaklawn Park Race 3 - Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
3rd (3) Dixie Girl To | | | | | 6 | Ramsey Zimmerman | Ronald Westermann | A winner at 7f. Beaten 17l behind Magnolia Mae at 80-1 when last of 12 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Needs to find something extra to get involved. |
4th (7) Pat's Gal | | | | | 4 | Kelsi Harr | Robert Cline | A winner at 6f. Beaten 4l by Magnolia Mae when second of 12 at 70-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. One to consider if running to a similar level. |
2nd (4) Courageous Cappen | | | | | 6 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Danele Durham | A winner at 6f. Finished 3 1/2l behind Wreaking Havoc when fourth of 11 at 4-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Should go well. |
1st (2) One Way Or Another | | | | | 5 | Cristian Torres | Randy Morse | A winner at 6f, but that win was over two years ago. Beaten 19l behind Punchy Girl at 4-1 when last of 8 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Bounce back required. |
(1) K J's Pistol Annie | | | | | 5 | Gabriel Saez | Fermin Soto | A winner at 6f. Beaten 13l behind Magnolia Mae at 45-1 when 9th of 12 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Unlikely to threaten the principals. |
(5) Classy Edge | | | | | 3 | Walter De La Cruz | Eusebio Rufino | A winner at 6f. Beaten 11l behind Magnolia Mae at 11-2 when eighth of 12 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Makes limited appeal. |
(6) Natural Touch | | | | | 3 | Ramon Vazquez | Brett Creighton | A winner at 6f. Finished 7l behind Magnolia Mae when fifth of 12 at 9-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Place claims. |
(8) Little Burrito | | | | | 6 | Carlos Barbosa | Thomas Van | A winner at 6f, but that win was over two years ago. Finished 10l behind Magnolia Mae when sixth of 12 at 22-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Might find a few too strong. |
(9) Ngala | | | | | 4 | Joel Rosario | R Moquett | A winner at 6f. Beaten 16l behind Magnolia Mae at 6-5fav when 11th of 12 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Others appeal more. |
PAT'S GAL bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot in a tougher contest than this over C&D last time and that looks by far the best form on offer. Natural Touch and Courageous Cappen can follow her home.
Race 290: 19:14 Gulfstream Race 3 - Maiden Optional Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
3rd (5) Taparino | | | | | 3 | Jose Morelos | Jena Antonucci | Unplaced in both starts. Finished behind Corporate Power when fifth of 7 at 45-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m 1f in February. Gelded since last seen and the betting can guide here. |
5th (1) Street Earnings | | | | | 3 | Patrick Husbands | Mark Casse | Unplaced in all four starts. Finished 19l behind Tour Guide when fifth of 6 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in February. Might be best just watched on his first run since being gelded. |
2nd (6) Valued Cajun | | | | | 3 | Sonny Leon | Michael Yates | Placed in three of five starts. Third of 11 behind Mindframe beaten at 22-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f last month. Reliable and rates a player. |
1st (2) Who's The King | | | | | 3 | Paco Lopez | S Joseph Jr | Placed twice in five starts. Third of 10 behind Old Flag beaten at 3-1fav on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Mark Casse. Has to be taken seriously. |
4th (3) Practically Dark | | | | | 3 | Edgard Zayas | S Joseph Jr | Placed in both starts. Third of 8 behind The Monopoly Man beaten at 1-2fav on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. A key player now he has proven this trip isn't out of his reach. |
(4) Awesome Train | | | | | 3 | Emisael Jaramillo | Antonio Sano | Placed twice in five starts. Well beaten at 22-1 behind Iris's Dream when 9th of 12 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) in February. Needs to find some improvement. |
(7) Show Boat | | | | | 3 | Silvia Zapico | Ruben Sierra | Full brother to Khosea, won six times at 1m. Beaten behind Be You at 80-1 when seventh of 9 on his racecourse debut at Gulfstream over 7f last month. Open to improvement and is one to note in the betting on just his second career start. |
(8) Fourty Four | | | | | 3 | Leonel Reyes | Rafael Romero | Dam won at 7f. Third of 6 behind Catalina Royalty beaten at 9-5fav on his racecourse debut at Tampa Bay Downs over 5f earlier this month. Got better the further her went that day and is one to keep a close eye on in the betting here. |
Who's The King and Practically Dark are both capable of being heavily involved but the consistent VALUED CAJUN could have the measure of both if he fires on all cylinders now dropped in class.
Race 291: 19:20 Brighton It's Never Ordinary At bet365 Handicap (0-72) (5) 4yo+ GB 7f 216y - All Brighton Races
(7) Mr Fustic | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Lewis Edmunds | Andi Brown | Campaigned mostly on AW, winning four times; form since last success leaves something to be desired, as does his record on turf; others preferred. |
(8) Believe You Me | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Aidan Keeley | Heather Main | Off the mark in weak Class 6 event at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last July; limitations exposed in deeper fields subsequently; enough to prove back at 1m on seasonal debut. |
2nd (3) Island Native | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Alistair Rawlinson | Michael Appleby | Ties in with Freetodream on two pieces of form, namely his close second here last May and close third at Chelmsford (AW) on latest outing; 0-4 on turf but has place possibilities. |
(10) Roundabout Silver | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Paddy Bradley | Simon Dow | Similar type to Local Bay, being a C&D winner who is still seeking first success above Class 6; returns to turf off a workable mark, following two AW defeats this year, but is not in his ideal grade. |
(5) Kitaro Kich | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Pat Cosgrave | George Baker | The only maiden in this field, lacks recent match practice and has produced his peak efforts on AW; turf record is far from solid; not the percentage call. |
(9) Local Bay | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | William Carson | Tony Carroll | Has a better strike-rate on AW but is suited by Brighton, having gained his sole turf success over C&D (good to firm); succeeding in this grade would be a first (all wins in Class 6). |
(6) Otago | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Charlie Bennett | Jim Boyle | Should be suited by the return to turf with AW reappearance under his belt; three-time 7f winner at this venue, including off higher marks, and has bits of 1m form here; has the ability to take a serious hand. |
4th (1) Bernadine | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Ross Coakley | James Fanshawe | Acts on good to soft; respectable third at Southwell (AW) on seasonal debut; scored comfortably at Nottingham (off 7lb lower) on last attempt in Class 5 and looks interesting dropped back to this level. |
1st (2) Intercessor | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Gina Mangan | Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | Couple of creditable AW efforts for new yard this year; has done all his winning on turf, most recently at this course (off 4lb lower) in September; possibilities back here with Gina Mangan taking off 3lb. |
3rd (4) Freetodream | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Billy Loughnane | Amanda Perrett | Productive sort over 7f and bids for a hat-trick having recorded AW wins the last twice; scored at this course (good to firm) last May and shapes as if he'll stay this new trip; warrants respect. |
Returned to Class 5 level, BERNADINE could well defy top weight. Intercessor, who has solid-looking claims, is second choice ahead of closely matched rivals Freetodream and Island Native.[Steve Boow]
Race 292: 19:23 Aqueduct Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight - All Aqueduct Races
4th (7) Artful Dreamer | | | | | 3 | Dylan Davis | Barclay Tagg | Half-brother to Cupid's Heart, won three times at 6f and 7f. Beaten 17l behind Mr Skylight at 18-1 when last of eight on his racecourse debut at Gulfstream over 6f last month. Yet to show enough to be worthy of serious consideration. |
3rd (4) Tomacon | | | | | 3 | Romero Maragh | David Duggan | Dam won three times at 6f. Beaten 10l behind Land D'oro at 28-1 when 10th of 14 on his racecourse debut at Aqueduct over 7f last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time, which will need to have an effect. |
2nd (6) Schlomo | | | | | 3 | Jose Lezcano | William Mott | Half-brother to Lucky Manny, won four times at 5f and 1m. Finished 4l behind Land D'oro when fourth of 14 at 7-1 on his racecourse debut at Aqueduct over 7f last month. Entitled to be thereabouts. |
1st (3) Silver Satin | | | | | 3 | Javier Castellano | Jorge Abreu | Placed in both starts. Beaten 3/4l by Land D'oro when second of 14 at 13-10fav on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. The one to be with. |
(1) Boss Tweed | | | | | 3 | Eliseo Ruiz | Gary Contessa | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Beaten 19l behind Freedsdale at 11-1 when last of sevne on his racecourse debut at Aqueduct over 6f earlier this month. Tough ask. |
(2) Hey Toby | | | | | 4 | Kendrick Carmouche | Jeremiah Englehart | Placed in both starts. Beaten 1 1/2l by Vaunted when second of nine at evens fav on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. Needs considering. |
(5) Shore Time | | | | | 3 | Trevor McCarthy | Angel Pinero | Placed in three of seven starts. Beaten behind Boss Three O Two at 30-1 when last of seven on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Opposable. |
Runner-up on both career outings here, including over C&D last time out, SILVER SATIN deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion. Hey Toby and Schlomo also warrant consideration.
Race 293: 19:27 Laurel Park Race 5 - Dahlia Stakes - All Laurel Park Races
4th (4) Present Moment | | | | | 5 | Daniel Centeno | Whitworth Beckman | She has won three times at 1m on good and good to soft ground and on the all-weather. Finished 9l behind Dana's Beauty when sixth of 10 at 100-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. Noted. |
3rd (5) Jubilee Bridge | | | | | 6 | Ben Curtis | Michael Stidham | She has won four times from 7f to 1m 1f on good to firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Third of seven behind Sister Lou Ann beaten 2 3/4l at 5-1 on her latest outing at Kentucky Downs over 1m (good) in September last year. Makes plenty of appeal. |
1st (1) Five Towns | | | | | 4 | Jorge Ruiz | H Motion | She has won three times from 7f to 1m on good to firm ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 9-2 at Gulfstream over 7f on her latest outing last month, beating Demogorgon by 1 3/4l. The one to be with. |
2nd (8) Safeen | | | | | 4 | Feargal Lynch | Eddie Kenneally | She has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground. Finished 17l behind Heavenly Sunday when sixth of nine at 11-2 on her latest outing in the Grade 2 Mrs Revere Stakes at Churchill Downs over 1m in November last year. Unlikely to trouble the principals. |
(2) Brown Suga Babe | | | | | 3 | Angel Cruz | Michael Jones | Successful at 4f and 6f on the all-weather. Third of seen behind Society Ball beaten 2 3/4l at 13-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m earlier this month. Easily overlooked. |
(3) Olivia Maralda | | | | | 4 | Jevian Toledo | William Walden | Successful twice at 7f on good to firm ground. Beaten 9l behind Tahiyra at 22-1 when ninth of 12 on her latest outing in the Grade 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown over 1m (good) in September last year. Having her first run for a new stable today. Could make the frame. |
(6) Neecie Marie | | | | | 4 | Sheldon Russell | Robert Reid, Jr | She has won four times from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 7l behind Heavenly Sunday when fifth of nine at 7-2 on her latest outing in the Grade 2 Mrs Revere Stakes at Churchill Downs over 1m in November last year. Needs more to figure. |
(7) Ravella | | | | | 5 | Jaime Rodriguez | William Morey | She has won three times from 6f to 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 8l behind B G Warrior at 10-1 when eighth of 12 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Has a bit to find. |
A comfortable winner over further at Gulfstream, FIVE TOWNS should have no issue with the drop in trip and she is preferred to Jubilee Bridge and Present Moment.
Race 294: 19:28 Tampa Bay Downs Race 5 - Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
4th (7) Glitter Bay | | | | | 6 | Laureano Sosa | Beverly Curto | She has won four times from 5f to 2m on the all-weather. Beaten 20l behind Diosa Catrina at 80-1 when 11th of 12 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Tough ask. |
3rd (8) Serenade A Kitten | | | | | 6 | Mario Fuentes | Robert Werneth | Winner of six races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Band Sweetheart when fifth of 8 at 11-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Much more needed. |
5th (5) Village Queen | | | | | 6 | Ricardo Feliciano | Benny Feliciano | Winner of seven races from 6f to 1m on the all-weather. A winner at 9-2 at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Waterworks. Confidence will be high. |
2nd (2) Ligeia | | | | | 5 | Melissa Iorio | Anthony Granitz | Successful twice at 1m on firm and good ground. Third of 12 behind Calisue beaten 5l at 9-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Claims in here. |
1st (3) Charlotte The Brit | | | | | 8 | Antonio Gallardo | Darien Rodriguez | Has won 13 races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 5l behind Diosa Catrina when fourth of 12 at 16-5 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Every chance. |
(1) Child Proof | | | | | 4 | Alonso Quinonez | Tim Padilla | Winner of five races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Perfectly Golden when fifth of 7 at 12-5 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Rohan Crichton. One to note. |
(4) Woods Hole | | | | | 5 | Charlie Marquez | Carlos Sepulveda | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Del Rey Dolly when fifth of 9 at 4-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f earlier this month. Needs more. |
(6) High Vibes | | | | | 5 | Marcos Meneses | Victor Carrasco | She has won four times at 1m on good ground. Beaten 14l behind Diosa Catrina at 12-5fav when eighth of 12 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Not fancied. |
(9) Capture My Dreams | | | | | 5 | Ademar Santos | Lynn Rarick | She has won three times at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 7 behind Village Queen beaten at 19-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. That was more like it. Place claims. |
CHARLOTTE THE BRIT put in a rare moderate effort here a fortnight ago, but her previous form reads well and she's taken to bounce back. Child Proof has won two of her last three starts and joins Village Queen on the shortlist.
Race 295: 19:30 Nottingham Follow Rhino.Bet On Instagram Handicap (0-68) (5) 4yo+ GB 1m 2f 50y - All Nottingham Races
(5) Kojin | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Paddy Mathers | Ian Williams | Useful form when winning twice in Ireland in 2022 but struggled in 2023 and it's been the same story for his new stable this year. |
(9) Pending Appeal | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Callum Hutchinson | Kevin Frost | All 13 starts for Charlie Hills were over 6f/7f and she was below par when last seen last July; sold for 6,000gns later that month; however, she's on a reduced mark for this stable debut and her pedigree hints she could be suited by this step up in trip; not a forlorn hope. |
(11) Break Point | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Joanna Mason | Derek Shaw | Eight-race maiden who has finished down the field on his last four starts and he's very hard to fancy on that recent evidence. |
4th (10) Berry Edge | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Dylan Hogan | David Thompson | Poor 1-21 strike-rate and failed to threaten last year on final few runs for Michael Dods, but he's dropped to an attractive mark and has a pretty solid reappearance record; not written off on stable debut (same owners). |
(1) Lunar Jet | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Dougie Costello | Steph Hollinshead | Below par on stable debut over C&D (heavy) last October, after a break, and this 10yo has been absent since; however, this C&D winner is 1lb lower than when winning at Redcar (1m2f, soft) last April and is not ruled out. |
2nd (8) Giselles Defence | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Josephine Gordon | Ian Williams | 15-race maiden who returns from a break for this stable debut (ex-Gavin Cromwell); however, he's on a handy mark on his best Irish form (including on testing ground) and he's not ruled out; watch the betting. |
1st (3) Powerful Response | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Brandon Wilkie | Geoffrey Harker | Won twice for Ed Bethell last summer (7f/1m, AW/soft) and he was a fair fourth on last month's seasonal and stable debut when upped in trip at Doncaster (1m2f, soft); could build on that latest performance; chance. |
(6) Shaheen Saqaar | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Robert Havlin | Ed Dunlop | Well beaten last September on sole turf start (1m, soft) but this lightly raced 4yo has staged a transformation since and won on AW (9.4f) in December; major player if good form continues on first run since January. |
(7) Kittykarma | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jack Garritty | Richard Fahey | The drop back in trip may not be ideal on her reappearance but she improved in these cheekpieces last year, winning at Thirsk (1m4f, good) in August, and she's also effective on soft ground; not discounted. |
3rd (2) Big Bear Hug | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Adam Farragher | Adam West | Won twice last season (soft/heavy) and has run well to be placed on both starts this year (1m2f, soft/heavy); another win looks imminent. |
The mare BIG BEAR HUG (nap) has run really well in defeat on her two starts this spring and is taken to return to winning ways. Shaheen Saqaar was in good form in January when last seen and may provide the most danger ahead of Powerful Response.[Ben Hutton]
Race 296: 19:34 Le Croise-Laroche Du Restaurant De L'Hippodrome Handicap - All Le Croise-Laroche Races
3rd (5) Ivishak River | | | | | 6 | A Madamet | J Goossens | Fourth at Mons over 2100m on the 22 of January. a very consistent sort and is seldom far off them |
1st (9) Mitarc | | | | | 6 | P Cheyer | J M Plasschaert | Third in a Handicap at Compiegne over 2000m on the 29 of March. Won this event last year and will have supporters again |
4th (8) Red Sugar | | | | | 5 | L Boisseau | D Artu | Third in a Handicap at Fontainebleau over 3000m on the 13 of April. Good effort at Fontainebleau and can be involved in the finish |
2nd (4) Kenor | | | | | 6 | M Nobili | Mme J Hendriks | Second in a Handicap at Compiegne over 2400m on the 10 of March. Runner up six times and can go one better |
(1) Hard Talk | | | | | 10 | S Vogt | Mme C Whitfield | Unplaced in a Handicap at Lyon-La Soie over 2400m on the 30 of November. Would be a shock winner |
(2) Paletuvier | | | | | 4 | K Vanderbeke | N Lantsoght | Was 9th in a Handicap at this track over 1800m on the 22 of March. Can make the frame and should be involved |
(3) Ana Martina | | | | | 5 | S Tison | W Beetens | Unplaced in a Steeple chase at Le Touquet over 4000m on the 1 of October. Others are preferred in this line-up |
(6) Confined Queen | | | | | 5 | B Marie | F Bellemere | Unplaced in a Handicap at Fontainebleau over 3000m on the 13 of April. Poor form and others are preferred |
(7) Rue Dauphine | | | | | 8 | D Santiago | P Dolle | Was 6th in a Handicap at Le Lion-d Angers over 2000m on the 7 of April. A runner-up in the only attempt at this track. Should be involved in the finish |
(10) Chacha Boy | | | | | 8 | Lhw Dieteren | M Swinnens | Was 6th at Mons over 2850m on the 9 of April. Can at best play a minor role. |
After finishing 4th once, 3rd three times, and 2nd on another five occasions (including the 3 most recent outings) in his last nine starts, KENOR (4) ought to be rewarded for his consistency with an overdue and well-deserved third career success. RED SUGAR (8) is, however, a hard-knocking mare who is likely to pose a threat, having shown her form and well-being with a reassuring 3rd over 3000m at Fontainebleau last week. MITARC (9), who won this race last year, has been primed to make a bold def
Race 297: 19:35 Lone Star Race 1 - Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(1) Tensas Lu Lu | | | | | 4 | Harry Hernandez | Karl Broberg | A winner at 5f. Beaten 16l behind Olivia G at 20-1 when last of 10 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f last month. Could be in the mix. |
(2) Anna Up | | | | | 3 | Obed Sanchez | M Davidson | A winner at 5f. Beaten a head by East Coast Cowgirl when second of eight at 16-1 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f last month. The one to beat. |
(3) Capetown Candy | | | | | 5 | Rodolfo Guerra | Wayne George | A winner at 1m. Finished 10l behind East Coast Cowgirl when sixth of eight at 13-1 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Rhonda Tuley. Has it all to do. |
(4) Purrfect Moon | | | | | 4 | David Cabrera | Miguel Silva | A winner at 6f. Beaten 10l behind Atta Moy Girl at 16-1 when eighth of 10 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. One to avoid. |
(5) Beauxs Artes | | | | | 5 | Isaiah Wiseman | M Davidson | A winner at 6f. Third of 10 behind Atta Moy Girl beaten 4l at 14-5 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. Improvement required. |
(6) Rough Creek | | | | | 3 | Iram Diego | Ronnie Cravens | A winner at 5f. Finished 19l behind Sharp Likeness when fifth of six at 5-2 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f in February. Others make more appeal. |
(7) Elena Mae | | | | | 4 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Ronnie Cravens | A winner at 5f. Well beaten at 9-2 behind San Mateo Kat when last of six on her latest outing at Remington Park over 1m in November last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Scott Young. A key player. |
Narrowly denied over further at Sam Houston last month, ANNA UP should be suited by the drop back in trip and she can go one better. That may be at the main expense of Elena Mae and Tensas Lu Lu.
Race 298: 19:36 Keeneland Race 4 - Allowance - All Keeneland Races
4th (8) Numero Seis | | | | | 4 | Jaime Torres | Joe Sharp | A winner at 5f on good ground. Beaten 7l behind Port Townsend at 5-1 when 9th of 11 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. Might find a few too good. |
1st (5) Baraye | | | | | 3 | John Velazquez | Wesley Ward | A winner at 5f. Beaten 7l by Nice As Pie when second of 11 at 10-3 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f in January. A must for consideration. |
2nd (4) Twirl Around | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Gregory Foley | A winner at 5f. Beaten 4 1/2l by Pennick when second of 8 at 19-10fav on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (firm) in January. A place is attainable. |
3rd (3) Cloudwalker | | | | | 3 | Flavien Prat | Brendan Walsh | A winner at 17-4 at Keeneland over 5f (good) on her latest outing in October last year, beating Caberneigh by 3l. In the mix. |
(1) Royal Flower | | | | | 5 | L Dettori | Steven Asmussen | A winner at 5f. Beaten 1/2l by Port Townsend when second of 11 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. Respected after that near-miss. |
(2) Gold Del Mar | | | | | 3 | Fernando Cruz La De | Ismael Bahena | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 12l behind Nice As Pie when sixth of 9 at 55-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Felipe Salas. Others appeal more. |
(6) Best Kiss Yet | | | | | 3 | Colby Hernandez | Wayne Catalano | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Well beaten at 15-1 behind Legadema when last of 8 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 6f earlier this month. Difficult to recommend. |
(7) Candy Bar | | | | | 4 | Reylu Gutierrez | W Calhoun | A winner at 5f on good ground. Third of 10 behind Way To Be Marie beaten 7l at 17-2 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m (good) last month. A threat to all if at her best. |
(9) Ruthless Rua | | | | | 4 | Walter Rodriguez | Daniel Leitch | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Beaten a head by Driana when second of 12 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Respected but this is a stiffer test. |
(10) Work Of Fiction | | | | | 4 | Luis Saez | George Arnold | A winner at 1m on good ground. Finished 4l behind Ivory Moon when fifth of 12 at 13-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f (good) in January. Needs a revival. |
(11) My Girl Ginger | | | | | 3 | Joseph Rocco Jr | Rey Hernandez | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Third of 9 behind Nice As Pie beaten 8l at 35-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Difficult to recommend. |
(12) Musical Prayer | | | | | 4 | Irad Ortiz Jr | Carlo Vaccarezza | Won on her latest outing when 7-5fav at Fair Grounds over 5f last month, beating Riley Jean by 3l. Another bold showing is possible. |
(13) Cadencia | | | | | 6 | Gerardo Corrales | William Morey | Successful at 6f and 1m on good ground. Beaten 6l behind Justifiable Belle at 12-5fav when seventh of 12 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 1m (good) earlier this month. Reserve. |
(14) Tivali | | | | | 4 | Adam Beschizza | Kelsey Danner | Won on her latest outing when 19-10fav at Turfway Park over 6f last month, beating Dan's Candi Girl by 3 1/2l. Reserve. |
(15) Wild Irish | | | | | 8 | Charle Oliveros | Eric Reed | She has won four times from 6f to 1m on the all-weather. A winner at 17-2 at Turfway Park over 6f on her latest outing in February, beating Center Stage by 1 3/4l. Reserve. |
Baraye and Cloudwalker both need to be taken very seriously but this can go the way of MUSICAL PRAYER, who won with something in hand last time out and looks worth following on the back of that solid effort.

5th (9) Francis E | | | | | 3 | Cristian Ernesto Velazquez | Franco Scarpello | Easier to side with others. |
3rd (6) Paruch | | | | | 3 | Martin Javier Valle | Nicolas Martin | A player on his debut. |
4th (11) El Taiger | | | | | 3 | Jorge Luis Peralta | Marcelo Sueldo | A newcomer to note. |
2nd (3) Polaris E | | | | | 3 | Osvaldo Adrian Alderete | Elvio Bortule | Sets the standard. |
(1) Yoguero | | | | | 3 | Brian Rodrigo Enrique | Juan Etchechoury | Needs considering. |
(4) Check Out | | | | | 3 | Elvio Gaspar Candia | Maria Alvarez | Not one to rely on. |
(5) Strange Kid | | | | | 3 | Lautaro Emmanuel Balmaceda | Omar Labanca | A tough task set on debut. |

Race 300: 19:40 Thirsk Vickers.Bet Independent Family-Owned Bookmaker Handicap (0-55) (6) 4yo+ GB 6f - All Thirsk Races
(20) Aclaim To Fame | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Oisin Orr | Sarah Hollinshead | 0-13 but has shown some promise, including on slow ground; returning to 6f should be in her favour and no great surprise to see her go well. |
(8) Ben Dikduk | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Sam James | Mark Walford | 13-race maiden; on a good mark on his best efforts but he was a well-beaten 50-1 shot on his stable debut at Newcastle in February; plenty to prove for now. |
(12) Fylingdale | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | Looked rusty back from a long absence here 11 days ago; on a handy mark but if she is to revive it's likely to be on a sounder surface. |
(19) Atrafan | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Jason Watson | Alan Brown | Eight-time AW winner; not at his best in that sphere in recent starts and opposable on this first turf run since August 2017. |
(4) Hailey Ya Mal | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Harry Russell | Antony Brittain | Lightly raced and well-related 4yo; has shown a modicum of promise on AW but forecast testing ground looks a worry now switched to turf. |
(7) Eldeyaar | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Cam Hardie | Antony Brittain | Came good last autumn, winning 6f handicaps at Ripon (good) and Catterick (soft); on the same mark as for the latter success and he showed ability remained when second at Southwell last month; a possible. |
(9) Elladora | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Aiden Brookes | Micky Hammond | Effective on testing ground and she's been running herself into form for her new yard this year; one to consider off a reduced mark now back on grass. |
(14) Irish Dancer | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Harrison Shaw | Declan Carroll | Hasn't beaten a rival in three runs in novice/maiden company, finishing weakly in both runs last year; wind operation could have a positive effect and this is his first realistic assignment; check betting. |
(16) Yaahobby | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Ben Robinson | Antony Brittain | Three AW wins to his name; best turf efforts have come on fast ground and the forecast underfoot conditions are a concern, as is his recent form. |
1st (10) Hombre | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Silvestre De Sousa | Joseph Parr | Modest eight-race maiden who hasn't progressed for the switch to handicaps; not unbacked in recent starts and the booking of Silvestre de Sousa suggests a good run is expected but he's not easily recommended on his turf debut. |
(11) Mr Trevor | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Rowan Scott | Ann Duffield | Took advantage of his much lower turf mark at Hamilton last September (6f, good to soft); still feasibly weighted on grass but he was tailed off here 11 days ago and need to see more before getting involved. |
(2) Kaidu | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Paul Mulrennan | Susan Corbett | Failed to win for Clive Cox or Archie Watson but he has snippets of form to make him of interest at this level; kept away from soft ground earlier in his career though; sold for 2,500gns since last run; best watched on stable debut. |
(17) Mc's Wag | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Luke Morris | Joseph Parr | First promising signs when second of 11 on heavy ground at Catterick last October (5f); has not kicked on from that on AW since but getting back on a soft surface can help and she's not yet fully exposed; yard among the winners; shortlisted. |
(18) Dandys Gold | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 10 | Jonny Peate | Roger Fell & Sean Murray | Veteran who was gaining her eighth career success when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in November; solid efforts in five of her last six AW runs; handles testing ground; should run her race. |
4th (15) One For The Ladies | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Billy Garritty | Michael & David Easterby | Not the easiest to catch right but she's capable at this level and she's generally run well since returning from a long absence last spring; return to 6f should suit and she's got each-way claims. |
(1) Smalleytime | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jason Hart | Ben Haslam | Had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his 28-1 win in a 7f 0-55 handicap at Newcastle 12 days ago; 3lb rise still leaves him well treated on his old form but forecast soft ground is a worry. |
2nd (3) Enderman | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | David Nolan | Paul Midgley | Infrequent winner but conditions suit and he ran a sound race after nine weeks off here 11 days ago; one of the likelier types. |
(13) Yazaman | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Kieran O'Neill | Paul Midgley | Losing run stands at 39 but he's competitive at this level and he ran a cracker when second over C&D 11 days ago; in the mix with a repeat. |
3rd (6) Stormy Pearl | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Connor Planas | David Thompson | Appreciated the return to turf when finishing off well for second in a better race over C&D 11 days ago (heavy); up 2lb but this should be run to suit and she's high on the list. |
5th (5) Langholm | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Connor Beasley | Michael Dods | Best known for his Catterick exploits but he's a course winner and made a pleasing return to action with a front-running second at Catterick 17 days ago (7f, heavy); should be able to grab the stands' rail from stall 20 and he's a strong contender. |
A huge field but not many make appeal. Enderman, Yazaman and Stormy Pearl ran creditably in divisions of a C&D handicap 11 days ago and should go well, while Langholm is set to make a bold bid with the stands' rail his for the taking if he fancies it. The claims of MC'S WAG aren't quite so obvious but her best effort came on the one occasion she's encountered slow turf and she still has a bit of potential after just nine starts.[Paul Smith]
Race 301: 19:45 Oaklawn Park Race 4 - Maiden Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
1st (8) Sir Otto | | | | | 3 | Francisco Arrieta | Wade Rarick | Placed once in two starts. Beaten 1 1/2l by Konteekee when second of 10 at evens fav on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Steven Asmussen. Could land a blow. |
2nd (11) J J's Ranger | | | | | 3 | Rafael Bejarano | Chris Hartman | Placed twice in five starts. Third of 9 behind Copper Echo beaten at 9-4 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f (good) last month. In the mix. |
3rd (3) Catalina Crush | | | | | 3 | Ramon Vazquez | Matt Williams | Placed in four of six starts. Third of 10 behind Northern Chill beaten 5l at 7-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Can make his presence felt. |
4th (2) Rocketeightyeight | | | | | 3 | Jose Ortiz | Chris Hartman | Placed twice in seven starts. Third of 10 behind Konteekee beaten 4l at 9-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Riley Mott. Has more on his plate here. |
(1) Max's Map | | | | | 3 | Florent Geroux | B Cox | Beaten 9l behind Stretch Ride at 13-5 when seventh of 9 on his racecourse debut at Churchill Downs over 6f in September last year. One to note now eased in grade. |
(4) Veracruzin | | | | | 3 | J R Leparoux | Kenneth McPeek | Unplaced in all five starts. Third of 6 behind Tizzy Indy beaten 4 1/2l at 20-21fav on his latest outing at Churchill Downs over 1m in November last year. Others appeal more. |
(5) Kennel Club | | | | | 3 | Cristian Torres | Steve Hobby | Unplaced in all three starts. Beaten 10l behind Endlessly at 6-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Del Mar over 1m (good) in July last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Tim Yakteen. Merits consideration. |
(6) Guatape | | | | | 3 | Luis Fuentes | Steve Hobby | Full brother to Spin Town, won at 1m. Finished behind Copper Echo when fourth of 9 at 20-1 on his racecourse debut at Oaklawn Park over 6f (good) last month. That experience ought to stand him in good stead. |
(7) Sky Master | | | | | 3 | Ricardo Jr Santana | Ingrid Mason | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Finished behind Hard Spun Fantasy when fourth of 7 at 5-2 on his racecourse debut at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Steven Asmussen. This is more demanding. |
(9) Let's Go Champ | | | | | 3 | Rocco Bowen | Ian Jewell | Half-brother to Bold Arch, won ten times between 6f and 1m. Beaten 15l behind Millers Rite at 33-1 when last of 8 on his racecourse debut at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Up against it. |
(10) Executive Power | | | | | 3 | Keith Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | Half-brother to Strong Quality, won four times at 7f and 1m. Finished 3 1/2l behind Millers Rite when fifth of 8 at 20-1 on his racecourse debut at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Worth a second look. |
MAX'S MAP failed to make an impact on his racecourse debut last September, but Brad Cox's colt ought to fare much better now eased in grade. Catalina Crush and Executive Power are feared most.
Race 302: 19:46 Gulfstream Race 4 - Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
2nd (7) Insisting | | | | | 3 | Emisael Jaramillo | Jose D Angelo | A winner at 6-5 at Gulfstream over 5f on his latest outing last month, beating Mister Cooper by 2l. Not dismissed. |
4th (6) Awesome For Sure | | | | | 3 | Chris Landeros | Fernando Abreu | A winner at 6f. Beaten 5l by Maclin when second of 6 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f earlier this month. Should go well. |
1st (3) Grand Maxime | | | | | 3 | Sonny Leon | Antonio Sano | A winner at 13-2 at Gulfstream over 5f on his latest outing in February, beating Titan. More to come. |
5th (1) Mayheminthepalace | | | | | 3 | Paco Lopez | Edward Plesa, Jr | A winner at 5f. Beaten 9l behind Mr Narcissistic at 12-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Others look stronger. |
3rd (4) Group Ticket | | | | | 3 | Miguel Vasquez | Julie Stormfelt | A winner at 5f. Beaten 8l behind Rezasrolex at 19-5 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. That defeat leaves him with questions to answer. |
(2) Weekend Concerto | | | | | 3 | Edgard Zayas | Michael Maker | A winner at 5f. Third of 7 behind Rezasrolex beaten 7l at 6-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Could make his presence felt. |
(5) Imapeppa | | | | | 3 | Leonel Reyes | Daniel Hurtak | A winner at 5f. Finished 9l behind Mr Narcissistic when sixth of 7 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Easier to side with others. |
GRAND MAXIME put his underwhelming debut effort well behind him when scoring by just over a length over track and trip in February and he can record a double. Weekend Concerto and Awesome For Sure could also have a say.
Race 303: 19:50 Brighton Watch Live Racing At bet365 Handicap (0-55) (6) 4yo+ GB 7f 216y - All Brighton Races
(3) Beautiful Surprise | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Rhiain Ingram | Roger Ingram | String of ordinary efforts under Flat/jumps codes over the past year or so and the tongue-tie didn't help at Kempton (6f) last time; now 0-15 since her debut win in 2021 and has plenty to prove back up in trip. |
4th (4) James Park Woods | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Owen Lewis | Dominic Ffrench Davis | Just one win from 38 starts and that was in a Chester novice in 2019; finished down the field under Flat/jumps codes in his final three runs in 2022 and he missed last year; now returns to the Flat after 566 days off and he's best watched. |
(5) Rivas Rob Roy | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Charlie Bennett | John Gallagher | Three C&D wins last summer and now 1lb lower than for last success but he's been out of sorts on AW in his last three runs; handles most ground in this sphere but he needs a major revival back on turf. |
(14) He's Our Star | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 9 | Franny Norton | Tony Carroll | Won a 7f classified event here (good to firm) last August but he's not matched that form since and has been well held in his four runs this year; now returns to Brighton but he needs a major upturn in form. |
(7) Star Of Sussex | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | J F Egan | Paddy Butler | 11-race maiden under Flat/jumps codes for Gary Moore and he has form figures of 580690 in Flat handicaps; mark continues to fall but he needs a transformation back on turf for new yard; first-time hood. |
(9) The Game Is Up | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Paddy Bradley | Pat Phelan | Off the mark at the 18th attempt when scoring at Lingfield (1m, AW; cheekpieces added) in February but she failed to back that up at Kempton last month; didn't get the best of runs in that latest race but she has a patchy profile and others are more convincing. |
(2) Chico Dulce | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | William Carson | Michael Madgwick | Lightly raced 4yo who has been beaten less than 3l in two 7f Polytrack handicaps this spring; continues to edge down the weights and could be dangerous if he can find something extra back on turf. |
(11) Reformed Character | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 8 | Tommie Jakes | Martin Dunne | Several fair efforts on AW for his new trainer since December but he was some way below form at Southwell (1m) last time and that took his record to 0-22; others preferred. |
2nd (13) Letter Of The Law | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Georgia Dobie | John O'Shea | Runner-up in this race last year and won here last May; looks well handicapped on that form but he's lost his way in his last six starts; blinkers now return on this switch back to turf but he needs a revival. |
(12) Cap d'Antibes | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 7 | Ross Coakley | Marie Martin | Triple Polytrack winner who has run respectably on AW in his last two starts; has record of 0-13 on turf but he's well handicapped on a piece of C&D form last spring and could get involved back in this sphere. |
(10) Kodi Noir | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Billy Loughnane | P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck | Well handicapped on his Chelmsford win (7f, AW) last September but he's 0-11 since and hasn't fired in three runs for his new yard this spring; now goes back up in trip and he needs to raise his game significantly. |
(6) Edmund Ironside | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 4 | Jack Mitchell | Michael Attwater | Won at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in November and plenty of good efforts since but his form cooled at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; conditions should be fine back on turf but he's now 1-22 and needs to step up again after that last run; cheekpieces (absent last time) are reapplied. |
3rd (8) Oh So Audacious | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 5 | Kaiya Fraser | Harry Eustace | Has patchy record but she won at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (good) last summer and had an excuse in the mud in her final run last term; returns after six months off but drying ground would be a positive and she needs watching in market. |
1st (1) Uncle Dick | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 6 | Charles Bishop | Eve Johnson Houghton | Won three times over C&D (good/soft) last season and latest was off 3lb higher; never dangerous in three AW runs this year but he didn't get any luck at Wolverhampton last time and looks interesting on this switch back to turf. |
Most of these have something to prove but UNCLE DICK won three times over C&D last season and he didn't get any luck at Wolverhampton last month. He looks interesting off a good mark on this return to turf and may well be able to get back on the scoresheet. Cap d'Antibes, who is well handicapped on a piece of form here last spring, is feared most ahead of Chico Dulce and the returning Oh So Audacius.[David Moon]
Race 304: 19:56 Aqueduct Race 4 - Claiming - All Aqueduct Races
4th (2) Strong Light | | | | | 5 | Romero Maragh | Roshan Samsundar | Successful twice at 1m. Third of 6 behind Rocket And Roll beaten 9l at 30-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m earlier this month. Not out of it. |
1st (7) Disappearance | | | | | 4 | Danilo Rave Grisales | Oscar Barrera III | Successful at 7f and 1m. Finished 14l behind Rocket And Roll when last of 6 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m earlier this month. Unlikely to be good enough. |
3rd (5) Uncle Water Flow | | | | | 5 | Gokhan Kocakaya | Patrick Reynolds | Successful twice at 1m. Won on his latest outing when 3-4fav at Aqueduct over 1m last month, beating Papi On Ice. Leading contender. |
2nd (3) Union Lights | | | | | 5 | Abnel Bocachica | Wayne Potts | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten 4 1/2l by Rocket And Roll when second of 6 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m earlier this month. Could make his presence felt. |
(1) Jeeper | | | | | 5 | Trevor McCarthy | Jamie Ness | Successful twice at 1m. Won on his latest outing when 7-10fav at Philadelphia Park over 1m earlier this month, beating Rush Center. Warrants serious thought. |
(8) Edge Of Glory | | | | | 5 | Dexter Haddock | Jamie Ness | Successful at 7f and 1m. Finished behind Centurion when fifth of 10 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Philadelphia Park over 1m earlier this month. Look elsewhere for the winner. |
(4) Arrebato | | | | | 4 | Dylan Davis | Orlando Noda | Successful twice at 1m. A winner at 17-4 at Aqueduct over 1m on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Ice Road by a neck. Could land a blow. |
(6) Winning Connection | | | | | 4 | Eliseo Ruiz | Michelle Nevin | Successful twice at 1m. Well beaten at 9-2 behind Bossmakinbossmoves when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Oscar Barrera III. Worth a second look. |
JEEPER scored by more than three lengths over an extended mile at Philadelphia Park last time and he can follow up. Union Lights and Arrebato are others to consider.
Race 305: 20:00 Laurel Park Race 6 - Allowance - All Laurel Park Races
4th (6) Girls House | | | | | 5 | Yomar Ortiz | Michael Jones | Successful twice at 5f. Finished behind Admiral Hopper when sixth of nine at 33-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f in January. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Gregory Viands. More is required. |
5th (2) Mo Traffic | | | | | 4 | J G Torrealba | Diane Morici | A winner at 5f. Finished 4 1/2l behind Dreamy Sonde when fourth of six at 8-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. A minor role awaits. |
3rd (4) Sweet Shugs | | | | | 4 | Martina Rojas | Raymond Ginter | Successful at 4f and 5f. Beaten 2 3/4l by Maggie's Girl when second of seven at 9-2 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Needs considering. |
1st (5) Riley G | | | | | 4 | Jevian Toledo | Brittany Russell | Won on her latest outing when 4-5fav at Laurel Park over 7f last month, beating Dynamism. A player. |
2nd (7) How Sweet She Is | | | | | 4 | Mychel Sanchez | Michael Trombetta | A winner at 6f. Finished 5l behind Touisset when fourth of six at 4-1 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Makes limited appeal. |
(1) Sultry Sally H | | | | | 4 | Andres Chavez | Timothy Vick | She has won four times from 4f to 6f. Beaten by Utterly Enchanting when second of seven at 13-2 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 5f last month. Warrants serious consideration. |
(3) Royal Seamstress | | | | | 4 | Carlos Lopez | Claudio Gonzalez | Successful at 5f and 6f. Won on her latest outing when 7-10fav at Laurel Park over 6f last month, beating Devil Pays In Gold by 1/2l. Can strike another blow. |
ROYAL SEAMSTRESS was always in control when scoring over C&D last time out and she should be able to continue her excellent record at the track. Her chief threats look to be Sultry Sally H and Sweet Shugs.
Race 306: 20:00 Nottingham Discover Whats Trending At Rhino.Bet Casino Handicap (0-65) (6) 3yo GB 5f 8y - All Nottingham Races
(5) Emerald Army | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Zak Wheatley | Declan Carroll | A seventh of 13 at Redcar in September was the pick of his three runs as a 2yo; gelded over the winter; potential improver now handicapping and the betting should be revealing. |
2nd (6) Yiengaa | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Alex Jary | Nigel Tinkler | Yet to make any significant progress since switched to handicaps, beaten 6l into fourth at Catterick 17 days ago; others have more pressing claims. |
(2) Ninety Nine | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Brandon Wilkie | Grant Tuer | Won a 5f maiden for Richard Fahey and also ran well in a heavy-ground nursery over C&D last October (off 6lb higher); well beaten in two AW runs for current yard but she could prove a different proposition back on turf. |
3rd (1) Quercine | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Mikkel Mortensen | Charlie Fellowes | Improved with each of her three runs on AW this winter, getting off the mark with a narrow front-running success at Southwell in February (cheekpieces first time); not being overfaced for her handicap/turf debut and she's one to consider. |
4th (4) Wichahpi | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Andrew Breslin | Bryan Smart | Won twice over 6f on slow ground as a 2yo; solid return to action when finding only an unexposed rival too strong at Catterick 17 days ago (5f, heavy); should remain competitive. |
1st (3) Cypriot Diaspora | | | ![](/images/vip.png) | | | 3 | Joanna Mason | Rod Millman | Won a 6f nursery at Leicester on good to soft last September; not so good in either start since but she's been drawn wide on both occasions; has the rail to help her today and she has shown promise on soft ground; one to consider. |
Quercine, a half-sister to the quirky but capable Holy Fire, brings untapped potential to this handicap debut but she's untried on turf. Ninety Nine (second choice) should benefit from a return to grass and a drop in grade, while Wichahpi made an encouraging return to action 17 days ago, but CYPRIOT DIASPORA is preferred. She's not had much luck with the draw since her Leicester win and her one run over 5f was eyecatching. She still has time to do better.[Paul Smith]
Race 307: 20:02 Tampa Bay Downs Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
5th (2) Rosso | | | | | 3 | Ronald Allen Jr | S Kintz | Unplaced in both starts. Finished behind Frizzante when fourth of 6 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. Needs to step forward. |
1st (4) Whiskey N Soda | | | | | 3 | Samy Camacho | Todd Pletcher | Half-brother to Hardworkcleanlivin, won six times between 4f and 6f. Merits consideration. |
3rd (7) Salacious | | | | | 3 | Antonio Gallardo | Jose D Angelo | Placed twice in six starts. Third of 6 behind Cartucho beaten 11l at 19-10 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month. More required. |
4th (3) Main Beach | | | | | 3 | Vincent Cheminaud | Chad Brown | Half-brother to The Pulse, won nine times at 6f and 7f. Has to enter the reckoning. |
2nd (6) Arrow Speed | | | | | 3 | Carlos Olivero | Juan Avila | Placed once in four starts. Beaten by Frizzante when second of 6 at 14-5 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Capable of a decent showing. |
(1) Hours In A Day | | | | | 3 | Daniel Centeno | Todd Pletcher | Half-brother to Catalogue, won eight times between 4f and 1m. One for the shortlist. |
(5) Whiskey Or Wine | | | | | 3 | Pablo Morales | Kevin Rice | Half-brother to Nieuwendyk, won twice at 1m. Likely to need the experience. |
MAIN BEACH has been producing some decent pieces of trackwork recently and Chad Brown's gelding is fancied to make a winning debut. Hours In A Day and Whiskey N Soda appeal most of the remainder.
Race 308: 20:03 Lone Star Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight - All Lone Star Races
(1) All American Lady | | | | | 3 | Franklin Ceballos | Terry Eoff | Placed in three of ten starts. Beaten 3 1/2l by High Tone Woman when second of nine at 13-5 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Holds strong claims. |
(2) Avaling | | | | | 3 | Alfredo Jr Triana | Jaime Castellanos | Placed in both starts. Beaten 2 1/2l by Texas Star when second of 10 at 14-5fav on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f earlier this month. Can go one better. |
(3) Indy La Primera | | | | | 3 | Iram Diego | Raul Rangel | Placed once in three starts. Third of 12 behind She Speaks beaten 3 1/2l at 9-2 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Not fancied. |
(4) Taps Mistress | | | | | 3 | Floyd Jr Wethey | Jayde Gelner | Placed in six of seven starts. Beaten 2 3/4l by Athena D'oro when second of nine at 8-1 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Must enter calculations again. |
(5) Mizz Factor | | | | | 4 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Carlos Padilla | Placed twice in five starts. Finished 6l behind Athena D'oro when sixth of nine at 28-1 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time, which will need to have an effect. |
(6) Divertida | | | | | 3 | Rene Diaz | J Caldwell | Placed in three of eight starts. Third of nine behind High Tone Woman beaten 13l at 9-2 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Tough ask. |
Runner-up on both career outings, AVALING sets the standard on form and she can get off the mark on this occasion. All American Lady and Taps Mistress also warrant consideration.
Race 309: 20:08 San Isidro Race 7 - Maiden ARG 0m 5f 212y - All San Isidro Races
6th (9) Inaudito Si | | | | | 3 | Luis Fernando Vai | Pedro Molina | Hard to fancy after his modest effort on debut. |
4th (3) Pulmon De Acero | | | | | 3 | Cristian Ernesto Velazquez | Hugo Perez | One just for the notebook here. |
3rd (5) Seccato | | | | | 3 | Eduardo Ortega | Lopez Bragante | Appeals strongly on paper and needs to be on the shortlist. |
5th (1) Trajanus | | | | | 3 | Anibal Jose Cabrera | Alex Rodriguez | One for the shortlist. |
1st (2) Colifato Novo | | | | | 3 | Joaquin Alberto Cano | Rodolfo Affre | Probably best just watched on his debut run. |
2nd (7) Exultant | | | | | 3 | Rodrigo Daniel Bascunan | Enrique Ferro | Well worth considering. |
(4) Contursi | | | | | 3 | Wilson Rosario Moreyra | Jorge Mayansky | Worth a second look. |
(6) Lucky Gentelman | | | | | 3 | Martin Javier Valle | Ricardo Cardon | Another for whom the betting will be a good guide. |
(8) Historical | | | | | 3 | Lautaro Emmanuel Balmaceda | Omar Labanca | Needs a big step forward from his debut. |
(10) Inda Boy | | | | | 3 | Brian Rodrigo Enrique | Elvio Bortule | Should be wiser after finishing fourth of five on his debut but does need a big improvement. |
(11) Fiel Vision | | | | | 3 | Osvaldo Adrian Alderete | Melania Dulom | Probably best just watched this time. |
(12) More Than Elegant | | | | | 3 | Jorge Luis Peralta | Julian Pra | offers some appeal on pedigree but the betting can guide here. |
Race 310: 20:08 Keeneland Race 5 - Claiming - All Keeneland Races
4th (4) Bird King | | | | | 7 | Edgar Morales | Genevieve Londono | Winner of five races at 1m. Finished 10l behind Avenue when sixth of 11 at 70-1 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m 2f last month. Others are readily preferred. |
3rd (2) Divine Armor | | | | | 7 | Luis Saez | David Jacobson | He has won four times from 6f to 1m. Beaten behind Synthesis at 11-2 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. A big player. |
2nd (8) Fromanothamutha | | | | | 5 | L Dettori | Raymond Handal | He has won three times from 7f to 1m. Finished 7l behind Brigade Commander when fourth of 10 at 9-4jt-fav on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m last month. Well worth considering. |
1st (6) Systemic Change | | | | | 5 | Irad Ortiz Jr | Chad Brown | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f. Third of 6 behind Rungius beaten 2 1/2l at 16-5 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m 1f last month. That was a better effort and he can be fancied to be on the premises again. |
(1) Saqeel | | | | | 6 | Tyler Gaffalione | Michael Maker | Winner of five races at 1m. Third of 7 behind Huge Bigly beaten 4 1/2l at 18-5 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. This demands more. |
(3) Crazy Legs Hirsch | | | | | 7 | Tyler Conner | Panagiotis Synnefias | Has won 14 races from 6f to 1m. Beaten 12l behind Flat Out Flying at 13-5 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Penn National over 1m (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Bruce Kravets. A threat to all. |
(5) Direct Line | | | | | 7 | Flavien Prat | P Eurton | He has won four times at 1m. Beaten 6l by Cowboy Mike when second of 4 at 19-10 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m last month. Must hold every chance here. |
(7) Hunter Scott | | | | | 5 | Andres Calleja | Israel Acevedo | He has won four times at 1m. Finished 2l behind Chiron when fourth of 12 at 33-1 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. This asks more of him. |
(9) Beyond Best | | | | | 5 | Reylu Gutierrez | Niccolo Troiani | He has won three times at 1m. Finished 6l behind Rungius when fourth of 6 at 15-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m 1f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ernesto Padilla Preciado. This looks a stiff task. |
DIRECT LINE was on the back of a short break when he posted a below-par effort last month, but could be a different proposition with his match-fitness now topped up. Divine Armor rates the chief threat, while Systemic Change is another must for consideration.
Race 311: 20:15 Gulfstream Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight - All Gulfstream Races
5th (5) Alette D'Oro | | | | | 3 | Luca Panici | Timothy Hills | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 3l behind Lovin The Pavels when fifth of 10 at 45-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) in February. More is needed. |
3rd (3) Wrigleyville | | | | | 3 | Vincent Cheminaud | Bethany Baumgardner | Half-sister to Global Brand, won at 1m. The market can guide. |
4th (9) Elhuboob | | | | | 3 | Edgard Zayas | Brendan Walsh | Full sister to Hard Not To Love, won five times at 6f including a Grade 1 race. An interesting newcomer. |
1st (1) Deflection | | | | | 3 | Miguel Vasquez | Jose D Angelo | Yet to place in four starts. Beaten 7l behind Lovin The Pavels at 9-1 when 9th of 10 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) in February. Needs to improve. |
2nd (2) Speightfulelection | | | | | 3 | Paco Lopez | H Motion | Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 9-2 behind Done Enough when last of 7 on her latest outing at Monmouth Park over 6f in September last year. Player based on her debut display. |
(4) Bunny Honey | | | | | 3 | Joe Bravo | J O Dwyer | Half-sister to Brennan's War, won at 6f. Any market support should not be ignored. |
(6) Alas Doradas | | | | | 3 | Cipriano Gil | Jose Hernandez | Half-sister to Mariah's Fortune, won five times at 7f and 1m. Could have a say on her debut. |
(7) Ernestina | | | | | 3 | Chris Landeros | Armando De | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 8l behind Imaboutago at 40-1 when seventh of 12 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f (good) in December last year. Not without a chance. |
(8) Maghra | | | | | 3 | Emisael Jaramillo | Brendan Walsh | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 9l behind Curlin's Girl at 10-1 when eighth of 11 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Unlikely to threaten the principals. |
(10) Bianka Heart | | | | | 3 | Fernando Jara | Bertrell Vaz | Dam unraced. May need this experience. |
(11) Cassiopeia | | | | | 3 | Leonel Reyes | Kelsey Danner | Dam unraced. Beaten behind Moon Spun at 28-1 when eighth of 11 on her racecourse debut at Gulfstream over 5f (good) last month. Needs to find something extra. |
SPEIGHTFULELECTION finished a fair third on her debut before putting in a disappointing effort next time, but she could bounce back to get off the mark. Newcomers Wrigleyville and Bunny Honey need to be monitored in the market.
Race 312: 20:16 Oaklawn Park Race 5 - Maiden Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
3rd (8) Phenomenal Dream | | | | | 3 | Ramon Vazquez | Aaron Shorter | Unplaced in all nine starts. Finished 8l behind Deluca when sixth of 9 at 30-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Hard to fancy. |
2nd (12) Parisian Promise | | | | | 3 | J R Leparoux | Kenneth McPeek | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Beaten behind Copper Echo at 8-1 when seventh of 9 on his racecourse debut at Oaklawn Park over 6f (good) last month. That experience ought to stand him in good stead. |
4th (2) Rebelious | | | | | 3 | Florent Geroux | B Cox | Half-brother to Rightandjust, won five times at 7f and 1m. Market support should be noted ahead of his racecourse bow. |
1st (3) Empire's Best | | | | | 4 | Francisco Arrieta | Shea Stuart | Placed in four of seven starts. Beaten 14l behind Nyquick at 11-10fav when last of 7 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Brad Cox. Can make his presence felt. |
(1) Famous Final Scene | | | | | 3 | Richard Eramia | Donnie Von Hemel | Placed once in four starts. Third of 9 behind Deluca beaten 4 1/2l at 9-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Minor honours might be his best hope. |
(4) Vigano | | | | | 5 | Keith Asmussen | Nicholas Zito | Placed twice in 12 starts. Finished 12l behind Nyquick when fifth of 7 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m (good) last month. Enters calculations. |
(5) Tap Valley | | | | | 3 | Gabriel Saez | Kim Puhl | Placed once in four starts. Beaten behind Last Diamond at 5-2 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Randy Morse. Will do well to win this. |
(6) Trabr's Creed | | | | | 4 | Carlos Barbosa | Kevin Martin | Placed once in five starts. Finished behind Hard Spun Fantasy when sixth of 7 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Has claims on the pick of his form. |
(7) Strasse | | | | | 3 | Nik Juarez | D Lukas | Placed once in three starts. Beaten 3 1/2l by Mo Moves when second of 12 at 17-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Has more on his plate here. |
(9) Diomedes | | | | | 3 | Rocco Bowen | Norman McKnight | Dam won three times at 5f and 6f. Best watched. |
(10) Outlaw Run | | | | | 4 | Ramsey Zimmerman | Robert Cline | Placed once in nine starts. Finished behind Task when fifth of 11 at 28-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Entitled to be in the shake-up. |
(11) Saturday Starter | | | | | 3 | Ricardo Jr Santana | Dan Ward | Placed twice in six starts. Beaten by Chaos Reigns when second of 8 at 13-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Burl McBride. Likely to find a few too strong. |
(13) Dirbas | | | | | 3 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Cipriano Contreras | Placed twice in seven starts. Finished 6l behind Midnight Award when fourth of 11 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Tomlinson. Reserve. |
EMPIRE'S BEST sets the form standard and he appeals as the one to beat here. That said, Vigano and Outlaw Run look capable of mounting stern opposition to the selection.
Race 313: 20:28 Aqueduct Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight - All Aqueduct Races
4th (6) Wake Up Lauren | | | | | 3 | Trevor McCarthy | Michael Maker | Yet to place in three starts. Finished 13l behind Princess Vino when fourth of 6 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m 1f in February. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Should go well. |
3rd (2) Colorful Lady | | | | | 3 | Kendrick Carmouche | Todd Pletcher | Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 9-4jt-fav behind Patricia Ann when last of 6 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m in February. Needs to improve. |
2nd (5) Chantilly Road | | | | | 3 | Dylan Davis | Chad Brown | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 13l behind Patricia Ann when fourth of 6 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m in February. A key player. |

(3) Just One More | | | | | 3 | Jose Lezcano | Horacio De | Full sister to Voodoo Song, won five times between 7f and 1m 3f including a Grade 1 race. The market can guide. |
(4) Big Beautiful | | | | | 3 | Javier Castellano | Anthony Dutrow | Half-sister to Motown Lake, won twice in chases at 3m and 3m 4f. Beaten 9l behind Joyful Lass at 18-1 when 10th of 11 on her racecourse debut at Gulfstream over 1m (good) in January. Will need to take a step forward. |
(7) Classic Cara | | | | | 3 | Luis Rivera Jr | Mitchell Friedman | Yet to place in four starts. Finished behind You're Forever when fifth of 6 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. Unlikely to trouble her rivals. |
(8) Wish List | | | | | 5 | Jose Gomez | J Terranova | Placed once in three starts. Finished 2 3/4l behind Sweet Sweetfantasy when sixth of 11 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m in December last year. Easier to side with others. |
(9) Blue Thunder | | | | | 3 | Eric Cancel | Jose Jimenez | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 14l behind Sunny Angel when sixth of 8 at 18-1 on her latest outing at Chantilly over 6f (soft) in September last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Nicholas Clement. Warrants a market check. |
(10) Just Music | | | | | 3 | Jose Lezcano | Linda Rice | Placed in five of eight starts. Beaten by D Day Sky when second of 5 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m 1f earlier this month. Main track only. Reserve. |
CHANTILLY ROAD took a pleasing step forward from her debut effort to finish fourth over a mile here last time and, with further progression, she could be the one to beat. Wake Up Lauren and newcomer Just One More could also get involved.
Race 314: 20:31 Lone Star Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(1) Castille | | | | | 3 | Iram Diego | Carlos Padilla | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 2 3/4l behind Twentyone N Change when fifth of 12 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) earlier this month. Likely to struggle. |
(2) Devil's Mischief | | | | | 3 | Floyd Jr Wethey | Terry Eoff | A winner at 1m. Third of eight behind Illustrator beaten 4 1/2l at 12-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. This looks beyond him. |
(3) Flotation Station | | | | | 3 | Stewart Elliott | Steven Asmussen | A winner at 6f. Finished 6l behind Third Street when fourth of eight at 17-10fav on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f last month. Can get involved. |
(4) Magical Mark | | | | | 3 | David Cabrera | Karl Broberg | A winner at 4f. Beaten 2 1/2l by Doctored Deal when second of 10 at 9-4 on his latest outing at Delta Downs over 6f in February. Improvement required. |

(6) Mo Winning | | | | | 3 | Harry Hernandez | Robertino Diodoro | A winner at 6f. Beaten 6l behind Woodcourt at 15-2 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m (good) in January. Can strike on the drop in grade. |
(7) Toolpusher | | | | | 3 | Erik Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | Won on his latest outing when 2-1fav at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) last month, beating Carry The Flag by 2l. Work to do in this more competitive affair. |
This represents a significant drop in grade for MO WINNING and he can take advantage for a first victory since his debut last November. Flotation Station and Third Street look to be his main dangers.
Race 315: 20:32 Laurel Park Race 7 - King T Leatherbury Stakes - All Laurel Park Races
4th (6) Bump N Run | | | | | 4 | Silvestre Gonzalez | Timothy Shaw | He has won four times from 5f to 6f on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 11-5fav at Laurel Park over 6f last month, beating Threes Over Deuces. Has earned this rise in class. |
3rd (3) Charging | | | | | 4 | Ben Curtis | Thomas Morley | He has won three times at 5f on good ground. Finished 15l behind Mister Mmmmm when last of 5 at evens fav on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. That was very disappointing. |
5th (7) Future Is Now | | | | | 4 | Jaime Rodriguez | Michael Trombetta | She has won three times at 5f on good ground. Beaten 1/2l by Stone Silent when second of 8 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f (good) last month. Should be to the fore again. |
2nd (10) Outlaw Kid | | | | | 5 | Feargal Lynch | George Weaver | He has won four times from 5f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 6l behind Patches O'houlihan at 7-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Vigil Stakes at Woodbine over 6f in September last year. One to note on his reappearance. |
1st (5) Witty | | | | | 5 | Jevian Toledo | Elizabeth Merryman | Has won eight races from 5f to 7f on good ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 2-5fav at Laurel Park over 6f in December last year, beating Magic Mule by 4 1/2l. Every chance if ready to rock on his return. |
(1) Fluid Situation | | | | | 5 | Angel Cruz | J Terranova | He has won four times from 5f to 7f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 8l behind Twenty Four Mamba when sixth of 7 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in January. May improve for cutting back in trip. |
(2) Brother Conway | | | | | 5 | Carlos Lopez | Kieron Magee | Winner of seven races from 5f to 7f on the all-weather. Beaten a neck by Dontmesawithme when second of 5 at 12-5 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 6f last month. Has been largely consistent at a lower level. |
(4) Grooms All Bizness | | | | | 5 | Horacio Karamanos | Jorge Duarte | He has won four times at 5f on good ground. Third of 8 behind Eamonn beaten at 7-5fav on his latest outing at Monmouth Park over 5f (good) in August last year. Gelded since that run and respected. |
(8) Yes And Yes | | | | | 8 | Daniel Centeno | David Donk | Winner of five races from 5f to 7f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 15l behind Today's Flavor at 45-1 when last of 9 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Belmont Turf Sprint Stakes at Belmont At The Big A over 6f (firm) in October last year. Merits consideration on his return. |
(9) Coffeewithchris | | | | | 4 | | John Salzman, Jr | Successful at 7f and 1m on the all-weather. Third of 6 behind Take A Hint beaten 2 1/2l at 11-2 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Others make more appeal. |
(11) John Hall | | | | | 4 | Johan Rosado | Jose Magana | Successful at 5f and 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 9l behind Heldish when fifth of 6 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f in February. Look elsewhere. |
(12) Fore Harp | | | | | 6 | Sheldon Russell | Robert Reid, Jr | Winner of six races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 7l behind Nothing Better at 66-1 when seventh of 11 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f (good) in November last year. Possibly best watched. |
A number of these hold claims, but WITTY finished 2023 by winning three of his last four starts and could be worth chancing on his return. Grooms All Bizness makes his first outing as a gelding and warrants respect, while Future Is Now also merits consideration.
Race 316: 20:34 Tampa Bay Downs Race 7 - Allowance - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
2nd (9) Swing Low | | | | | 6 | Pedro Jr Cotto | Xavier Rivera | He has won four times at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Golden Juan when sixth of 7 at 13-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. Others have his measure. |
4th (2) Artie's Angel | | | | | 5 | Alonso Quinonez | Tim Padilla | He has won four times from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground. Beaten 6l behind Justintimeforwine at 25-1 when eighth of 12 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. May find a couple too strong. |
3rd (3) The Peninsula | | | | | 5 | Charlie Marquez | Darien Rodriguez | He has won three times from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 2 1/2l behind Justintimeforwine when fourth of 12 at 13-5fav on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Not a forlorn hope. |
1st (7) Bassanio | | | | | 5 | Daniel Centeno | Arnaud Delacour | A winner at 1m on good ground. Finished 2 1/4l behind Happy Cat when sixth of 9 at 19-10fav on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m (good) in October last year. Recent form has been disappointing. |
(1) War Beat | | | | | 5 | Pablo Morales | Brendan Walsh | Won on his latest outing when 11-5fav at Gulfstream over 7f last month, beating Curlin's Kitten. Merits consideration. |
(4) Ohtwoohthreefive | | | | | 5 | Angel Arroyo | Kathleen Demasi | A winner at 1m on good ground, but that win was over two years ago. Beaten 11l behind Justintimeforwine at 17-2 when 10th of 12 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Best watched. |
(5) Worlds On High | | | | | 6 | Antonio Gallardo | Kerri Raven | He has won four times from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Mr. Swagger when fifth of 8 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. More required. |
(6) The Skipster | | | | | 6 | Jose Batista | Pedro Posadas | He has won three times from 7f to 1m on good ground. Third of 12 behind Justintimeforwine beaten 1 3/4l at 9-2 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Has a bit to find. |
(8) Analogy | | | | | 5 | Jose Ferrer | Hernan Parra | A winner at 1m 1f on good ground, but that win was over two years ago. Finished 4 1/2l behind Justintimeforwine when sixth of 12 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. Improvement needed. |
(10) Napoleon's War | | | | | 4 | Laureano Sosa | Chelsey Moysey | A winner at 12-5 at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Two Minutes Apart. Open to improvement. |
(11) King Ramos | | | | | 6 | Jose Ferrer | Kathleen O'Connell | He has won three times at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 7 behind Guillaume beaten at 5-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Reserve. Main track only. |
WAR BEAT gained his first success at Gulfstream in March and the five-year-old can take advantage of what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Napoleon's War and The Peninsula complete the shortlist.
Race 317: 20:38 San Isidro Race 8 - Allowance ARG 0m 6f 211y - All San Isidro Races
1st (4) Cholo Manuel | | | | | 4 | Luciano Matias Recuero | Alberto Aguirre | A betting move in his direction would be interesting. |
4th (3) Pedes Claux | | | | | 4 | Rodrigo Daniel Bascunan | Gustavo Romero | Seems to have lost his way lately. |
3rd (1) Stay Strong | | | | | 4 | Eduardo Ortega | Nicolas Martin | Heads the shortlist. |
2nd (5) Remax | | | | | 4 | Juan Cruz Villagra | Guillermo Frenkel | Open to stacks of improvement and needs to be taken seriously. |
(2) Barzel | | | | | 4 | | Juan Etchechoury | Has improvement to find. |
(6) Grandurg | | | | | 4 | Lautaro Emmanuel Balmaceda | Juan Maldotti | Others appeal more on this occasion. |

4th (4) One Silk Stocking | | | | | 5 | Tyler Conner | Ricardo Ramirez | She has won three times at 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 3l behind Ag Bullet at 22-1 when seventh of 10 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in February. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Doug O Neill. Others are preferred. |
1st (2) Misread | | | | | 5 | Luis Saez | Thomas Drury, Jr | Successful at 6f and 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Mouffy when fifth of 11 at 14-1 on her latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m in August last year. Might need this first run of the year and is best just watched. |
2nd (12) Olivia Maralda | | | | | 4 | Flavien Prat | William Walden | Successful twice at 7f on good to firm ground. Beaten 9l behind Tahiyra at 22-1 when ninth of 12 on her latest outing in the Grade 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown over 1m (good) in September last year. Having her first run for a new stable today. Could make the frame. |
3rd (10) Sacred Wish | | | | | 4 | John Velazquez | George Weaver | Successful at 6f and 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 1/2l by Implicated when second of 9 at 13-4 on her latest outing in the Grade 3 Pebbles Stakes at Aqueduct over 1m (good) in November last year. Firmly in the mix. |
(1) Freydis The Red | | | | | 4 | Brian Jr Hernandez | Kenneth McPeek | Successful at 1m 1f and 1m 2f on good ground. Beaten 4 1/2l behind Delahaye at 15-1 when seventh of 13 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m (good) last month. A must for the shortlist with the sights lowered here. |
(3) Woohoo Jackie Blue | | | | | 5 | Mitchell Murrill | Lindsay Schultz | She has won three times from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 6 behind Ro Town beaten 2 1/4l at 10-1 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 1m (firm) earlier this month. Dangerous to underestimate. |
(5) Vernet | | | | | 4 | Adam Beschizza | E F Vaughan | Successful twice at 7f on good ground. Finished 11l behind Spanish Tenor when sixth of 7 at 14-1 on her latest outing at Gowran Park over 7f (good) in August last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Joseph O'Brien in Ireland, and may be one to just take note of on this occasion. |
(6) Moon Ray | | | | | 4 | Reylu Gutierrez | Rafael Ramos | Successful at 6f and 7f on good to soft ground. Well beaten at 60-1 behind Ocean Club when last of 11 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Jose Jimenez. Would be a surprise winner. |
(7) American Retro | | | | | 4 | Junior Alvarado | Ian Wilkes | Successful at 7f and 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 7-1 at Gulfstream over 1m (good) on her latest outing in February, beating Hola Gata by a neck. Another bold showing is likely. |
(8) Glittering Lights | | | | | 4 | Tyler Gaffalione | Brendan Walsh | She has won three times from 7f to 1m on soft ground and on the all-weather. Finished 5l behind Al Agaila when fifth of 16 at 33-1 on her latest outing at Deauville over 7f in November last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with H A Pantall in France. Others appeal more. |
(9) Samay | | | | | 6 | Luan Machado | Alfonso Arias | She has won four times from 1m 1f to 1m 2f. Finished behind Doutor Sureno when fifth of 14 at 6-1 on her latest outing at San Isidro over 1m 2f (firm) in October last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Juan Victor Suarez Villarroel. A prolific winner during her time overseas but has plenty to prove here. |
(11) Pleasant Passage | | | | | 4 | Irad Ortiz Jr | Claude McGaughey III | Successful twice at 1m on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Not So Close when fifth of 9 at 9-4 on her latest outing at Saratoga over 1m (good) in August last year. A place is possible. |
(13) Storm Bay | | | | | 4 | Axel Concepcion | Cherie Devaux | Successful twice at 1m on good ground. Finished 5l behind Blissful when fifth of 10 at 8-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m (good) last month. Reserve. |
(14) Cahira's Blessing | | | | | 4 | Luis Saez | Mark Casse | She has won three times from 5f to 7f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 6l behind Dolce Sopresa at 10-3fav when 10th of 11 on her latest outing at Woodbine over 6f (good) in September last year. Reserve. |
(15) Quality Star | | | | | 5 | Joseph Talamo | Paulo Lobo | Successful twice at 1m 1f on good ground. Finished 7l behind Lilac Girl when fourth of 7 at 5-2fav on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m 2f in December last year. Reserve. |
(16) Sara Mia | | | | | 6 | Corey Lanerie | Neil Pessin | She has won four times from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 7l behind Stone Silent when sixth of 8 at 45-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f (good) last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Victor Barboza Jr. Reserve. |
Freydis The Red, Woohoo Jackie Blue and American Retro all enter the reckoning but OLIVIA MARALDA, who was Group 2-placed when trained in Ireland, is a highly appealing option and looks worth chancing on her debut for the Will Walden barn.
Race 319: 20:46 Gulfstream Race 6 - Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
5th (4) Khosea | | | | | 6 | Chris Landeros | Kathy Mongeon | Winner of seven races at 1m. A winner at 6-1 at Gulfstream over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Linny Kate. It would be no surprise to see her get involved. |
2nd (7) Current Situation | | | | | 7 | Miguel Vasquez | Jose Garoffalo | Winner of six races at 1m. Finished 9l behind Sals Dream Girl when sixth of 7 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Others might have her measure. |
4th (2) Nothing But Pumps | | | | | 4 | Paco Lopez | Daniel Hurtak | She has won three times at 1m. Finished behind Blue Times when fourth of 9 at 6-5fav on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with David Fawkes. Others look more appealing options. |
3rd (8) Sandpiper Memories | | | | | 5 | Leonel Reyes | Fernando Abreu | Winner of six races from 5f to 1m. Finished 5l behind Don't Get Pickled when fifth of 6 at 19-5 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m earlier this month. Place claims. |

(5) Starship Nana | | | | | 6 | Luca Panici | Steven Dwoskin | She has won three times from 7f to 1m. Beaten 14l behind Sals Dream Girl at 15-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Looks vulnerable once more. |
(6) Macassa | | | | | 4 | Sonny Leon | Barry Croft | She has won three times from 5f to 1m. Finished behind Blue Times when fifth of 9 at 25-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Katherine Ritvo. Only playing for a minor role. |
GREY PRINCESS beat her nearest rival by just over four lengths over an extended mile here last time and she could be the one to beat again. Harlan's Legacy and Khosea are others to consider.
Race 320: 20:48 Oaklawn Park Race 6 - Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
2nd (4) Crew Dragon | | | | | 6 | Alexander Castillo | McLean Robertson | Successful at 1m and 1m 1f. Finished behind Ambivalent when fourth of 9 at 13-1 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. Likely to find a few too strong. |

3rd (5) Rithm Nic | | | | | 4 | Rocco Bowen | Ian Jewell | Successful at 5f and 7f. Third of 7 behind Payne beaten at 20-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month. Could land a blow. |

(2) My Uncle Leon | | | | | 4 | Gabriel Saez | Tim Dixon | Successful at 6f and 1m. Won on his latest outing when 3-1fav at Oaklawn Park over 6f earlier this month, beating Vale. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Eddie Milligan Jr. This requires considerably more. |
(6) Improbable Journey | | | | | 5 | Francisco Arrieta | Matt Shirer | Successful at 5f and 6f. Third of 9 behind Higher Standard beaten 5l at 6-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Others preferred. |
(7) Shuffle Dance | | | | | 4 | Jose Ortiz | R Moquett | Successful at 5f and 6f. Third of 10 behind Roman Giant beaten 2l at 13-5fav on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Robertino Diodoro. Can figure. |

It's been a while since LIFE IS HARD last tasted success, but he can show his true colours now eased in class. Rithm Nic and Backside Buzz can battle it out for minor honours.
Race 321: 20:50 Hawthorne Race 1 - Claiming - All Hawthorne Races
3rd (4) Slava Ukraini | | | | | 4 | Eduardo Gallardo | Joel Zawitz | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 14l behind Schmoozin when fifth of 8 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. Likely to find a few too good. |
4th (1) Desert Highway | | | | | 4 | Luis Colon | Francisco Ramos | Successful twice at 1m. Won on his latest outing when evens fav at Hawthorne over 1m last month, beating Izeondec by 6l. A strong contender. |
2nd (6) Country Guy | | | | | 3 | Yoel Navas | Eduardo Rodriguez | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Won on his latest outing when 5-2fav at Fair Grounds over 6f last month, beating Cabochon Treasure. On for the hat-trick and needs to be taken very seriously. |
1st (3) Coalminer's Kitten | | | | | 4 | Alexis Centeno | Jon Arnett | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten 1 3/4l by Schmoozin when second of 8 at 18-5 on his latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. Has to be high on the shortlist. |

(5) Jim's River Runner | | | | | 4 | Israel Hernandez | Francisco Ramos | Successful at 5f and 6f. Third of 9 behind Dash Of Fire beaten 6l at 11-1 on his latest outing at Mahoning Valley over 6f in December last year. Dangerous to ignore. |
(7) Over Calendared | | | | | 5 | Rishawn Blanche | Ida Spagnola | Successful at 6f and 1m. Third of 5 behind Gallant Buck beaten 6l at 9-2 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f in January. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Irene Alba Hernandez. Others appeal more. |
The class-dropping COALMINER'S KITTEN is the ready form pick in this company and is a strong fancy for a return to winning ways. Country Guy and Desert Highway are suggested as the pick of the rest.
Race 322: 20:59 Lone Star Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight - All Lone Star Races
(1) Mucho Macho Cam | | | | | 3 | Teresa Salazar | Sr Alan Love, | Half-brother to Ignis, won six times at 5f and 7f. Well beaten at 6-1 behind Witt's Jerry when 9th of 10 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m last month. Held on that form. |

(3) Texas Reign | | | | | 3 | Gerardo Mora | Allen Dupuy | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 15l behind Ripster when fifth of 8 at 15-2 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. Look elsewhere. |
(4) Ghurair's Warrior | | | | | 4 | Jose Alvarez | Jaime Castellanos | Placed once in eight starts. Beaten 4l behind Holiday Presence at 13-2 when seventh of 11 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Others preferred. |

(8) Sir Lancelot Ridge | | | | | 4 | Samuel Burgos | Ronald Kotara | Yet to place in seven starts. Well beaten at 45-1 behind Holiday Presence when 10th of 11 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Hard to fancy. |
(9) Silent Bling | | | | | 3 | Iram Diego | Jayde Gelner | Placed twice in five starts. Third of 10 behind Witt's Jerry beaten 1 3/4l at 6-5fav on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m last month. Shouldn't be far away. |
(10) Supersecretweapon | | | | | 4 | Alfredo Jr Triana | Kris Fullerton | Placed in both starts. Beaten a neck by Holiday Presence when second of 11 at 7-5fav on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. The one to beat. |

SUPERSECRETWEAPON sets the standard with his two narrow 1m defeats and he can make it third-time lucky. Silent Bling and Silver Assassin are others to note.
Race 323: 21:00 Santa Anita Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Santa Anita Races
4th (1) Player B | | | | | 4 | Kazushi Kimura | Doug O'Neill | Successful twice at 6f on good ground. A winner at 11-2 at Santa Anita over 6f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Forgiving Spirit by 1l. Holds an obvious chance. |
2nd (3) Lovesick Blues | | | | | 6 | Luis Contreras | Steven Miyadi | Has won eight races from 4f to 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten a head by Johnny Podres when second of 7 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. One to be interested in. |
1st (2) Zoffarelli | | | | | 6 | Hector Berrios | Jeff Mullins | He has won three times from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 8 behind Sharp Aza Tack beaten 2 3/4l at 5-2 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. Would be foolish to dismiss. |
3rd (5) Beef Winslow | | | | | 5 | Antonio Fresu | M Glatt | He has won four times from 6f to 1m on good ground. Beaten 1/2l by First Peace when second of 8 at 11-10fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in February. Can get involved. |

Won on his latest outing when 16-10fav at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month, beating Mackinnon by 1 1/4l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Philip D Amato. Warrants plenty of respect. |

LOVESICK BLUES was just touched off by a head in stakes company over C&D last time and that level of form looks the best on offer. Player B and Sharp Aza Tack head the dangers.
Race 324: 21:02 Aqueduct Race 6 - Starter Allowance - All Aqueduct Races
4th (2) Warrior Richard | | | | | 4 | Jose Gomez | David Donk | Successful at 7f and 1m. Third of 8 behind Mama's Gold beaten at 5-4fav on his latest outing at Belmont At The Big A over 1m 1f in October last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Robert Falcone Jr. Should go well. |
3rd (6) Nineteen Oysters | | | | | 4 | Kendrick Carmouche | Rob Atras | Successful at 6f and 7f. Beaten by Red D G P when second of 6 at 12-5 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Chad Summers. Dangerous to dismiss. |
2nd (1) Independent Paul | | | | | 5 | Isaac Castillo | David Jacobson | A winner at 6f. Beaten 5l by Whenlovetakesover when second of 8 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f earlier this month. Hard to rule out. |
1st (5) Upside Potential | | | | | 4 | Manuel Franco | Linda Rice | Half-brother to Ol' L B, won 14 times at 5f. Won on his latest outing when 2-1fav at Aqueduct over 6f last month, beating Venge by 4l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Chad Brown. More to come. |
(9) Kant Beat The Rock | | | | | 6 | Samuel Jr Camacho | David Jacobson | He has won three times at 6f. Finished 6l behind Stjames when last of 6 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Easier to side with others. |
(3) Pineapple Man | | | | | 5 | Lane Luzzi | Michelle Giangiulio | Successful at 7f and 1m. A winner at 7-1 at Aqueduct over 7f on his latest outing last month, beating Chalky Cat by 4 1/2l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Maker. Expected to mount a bold bid. |

(7) Leonids | | | | | 4 | Eric Cancel | Linda Rice | Successful at 6f and 7f. Finished 6l behind Baltasar when fifth of 8 at 16-5 on his latest outing at Belmont Park over 7f in July last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Todd Beattie. Only playing for a minor role. |
(8) Lookin' Super | | | | | 4 | Luis Rivera Jr | Michelle Nevin | He has won three times from 6f to 7f. A winner at 11-1 at Philadelphia Park over 6f (good) on his latest outing in December last year, beating Carbonite. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Claudio Gonzalez. One to be interested in. |
UPSIDE POTENTIAL struck on his debut in fine style over track and trip last month and, with any amount of improvement to come, he looks the one to beat. Clubhouse and Pineapple Man can give him the most to think about.
Race 325: 21:06 Laurel Park Race 8 - Webber City Miss Stakes - All Laurel Park Races
4th (8) Grammy Girl | | | | | 3 | Victor Carrasco | Horacio De | A winner at 18-5 at Laurel Park over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Amie's Symphony. This requires a big step up. |
2nd (3) Jeanne Marie | | | | | 3 | Mychel Sanchez | Robert Reid, Jr | Successful at 4f and 1m. Won on her latest outing when 13-10jt-fav at Philadelphia Park over 1m last month, beating Kiss For Luck by 2 1/2l. Improving all the time. |
1st (6) Call Another Play | | | | | 3 | Jaime Rodriguez | Michael Trombetta | She has won three times from 6f to 1m. A winner at 9-2 at Laurel Park over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Princess Mayfair. A little vulnerable now upped in class. |
3rd (2) Miss Harriett | | | | | 3 | Jeiron Barbosa | Brandon McFarlane | She has won three times from 5f to 7f. Finished 14l behind Ghalia Princess when last of 4 at 14-5 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. That was disappointing and she's not certain to stay. |
(1) Band Of Gold | | | | | 3 | Ben Curtis | Kenneth McPeek | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 3 1/2l behind Everland when sixth of 10 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. No surprise if in the mix. |
(4) Shimmering Allure | | | | | 3 | Horacio Karamanos | Kenneth McPeek | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 8l behind Leslie's Rose when sixth of 8 at 50-1 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 1m earlier this month. She will find this easier. |
(5) Determined Driver | | | | | 3 | Forest Boyce | Michael Trombetta | She has won three times from 5f to 1m. Won on her latest outing when 11-10fav at Laurel Park over 1m last month, beating Kissedbyanangel by 13l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Phil Schoenthal. Looks sure to give a good account. |
(7) Aoife's Magic | | | | | 3 | Wilfred Vasquez | David Dotolo | She has won four times from 5f to 1m. Third of 5 behind Determined Driver beaten 14l at 14-5 on her latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Looks held by that winner. |
DETERMINED DRIVER has either won or finished runner-up in each of her five starts to date and she may scoop this prize. Band Of Gold drops in class and rates a big danger, while Jeanne Marie is an improver to watch out for.
Race 326: 21:07 Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
3rd (3) D'Lightful Summer | | | | | 3 | Jose Batista | Gerald Bennett | A winner at 5f. Third of 7 behind Barbsdreamcometrue beaten 7l at 9-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Likely to find a few too strong. |
5th (8) Summer's Comin | | | | | 3 | Daniel Centeno | Michael Dini | Successful at 5f and 1m. Finished behind A Primera Vista when sixth of 7 at 28-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) in January. Others preferred. |

2nd (4) Qualificata | | | | | 3 | Marcos Meneses | Fausto Gutierrez | Won on her latest outing when 1-2fav at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month, beating Ride On Cupid. Worth a second look. |
1st (2) Girvin's Princess | | | | | 3 | Antonio Gallardo | Kathleen O'Connell | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten by Mystic Lake when second of 6 at 19-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f last month. Can make her presence felt. |
(1) Pink Rose | | | | | 3 | Ademar Santos | Gregory Sacco | A winner at 11-2 at Tampa Bay Downs over 7f on her latest outing last month, beating Ladys Chant by 5l. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with David Vanwinkle. This requires considerably more. |
(5) Asamatteroffactido | | | | | 3 | Melissa Iorio | Craig Smith | Won on her latest outing when 7-10fav at Century Mile over 5f in August last year, beating Broken Promises by 6l. She will need more to follow up. |
(6) Betsylicious | | | | | 3 | Angel Arroyo | Gerard Ochoa | A winner at 6f. Beaten 5l by Barbsdreamcometrue when second of 7 at 15-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Holds every chance. |
(9) Corinth | | | | | 3 | Samy Camacho | Carlos Munoz | A winner at 6f. Finished 8l behind Barbsdreamcometrue when fourth of 7 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Not ruled out. |
GIRVIN'S PRINCESS is the clear form pick having finished a creditable second at stakes level last time out, and she gets the nod over Betsylicious and Qualificata.
Race 327: 21:08 San Isidro Race 9 - Clasico Juan Boucau S ARG 0m 7f 101y - All San Isidro Races
4th (2) Ceniza Pampa | | | | | 3 | Pablo Damian Carrizo | Juan Romero | Others are more attractive options. |
7th (4) Distraccion Fatal | | | | | 3 | Osvaldo Adrian Alderete | Jorge Garcia | Hard to fancy on debut. |
6th (5) Querida Global | | | | | 3 | Cristian Ernesto Velazquez | Juan Etchechoury | The trip should be fine and she is one to monitor in the betting. |
5th (6) Meritokracia | | | | | 3 | Jorge Luis Peralta | Miguel Cafere | Offers some appeal and is one to be interested in if supported in the market. |
8th (7) Esperame Siempre | | | | | 3 | Juan Cruz Villagra | Guillermo Frenkel | Shortlist material in an ordinary looking maiden. |
1st (10) Guiltless | | | | | 3 | Eduardo Ortega | Lopez Bragante | Highly appealing on paper and is a must for the shortlist. |
3rd (3) Queen Megan | | | | | 3 | Martin Javier Valle | Enrique Ferro | Lots to like on paper and could be worth chancing. |
2nd (8) Ethereum | | | | | 3 | Francisco Leandro Fernandes | Nicolas Martin | Another appealing type on paper and is one of the more likelier winners. |
(1) Terzina | | | | | 3 | Martin Antonio La | Nicolas Gaitan | The trip should suit and she warrants a second look. |
(9) Fontanela | | | | | 3 | Ivan Eduardo Monasterolo | Guillermo Frenkel | Bred to be speedy but might find a few of these are a warm order. |
Race 328: 21:12 Keeneland Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight - All Keeneland Races
3rd (5) Alicit Intention | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Robert Medina | Placed in both starts. Third of 9 behind Lady Moscato beaten 5l at 18-5 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Others look stronger. |
4th (7) Halstyn Rose | | | | | 3 | Junior Alvarado | Brian Lynch | Placed in both starts. Third of 8 behind Artemis Sound beaten 4l at 2-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Not out of it. |
1st (8) Sarir | | | | | 3 | John Velazquez | Wesley Ward | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 13l behind Daughter Of Time when sixth of 7 at 9-4fav on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in February. Entitled to be in the shake-up. |
2nd (3) Soundbite | | | | | 3 | Axel Concepcion | B Cox | Half-sister to Hishikari, won twice at 1m and 1m 2f. Could make her presence felt. |
(1) Illusion | | | | | 3 | Irad Ortiz Jr | Rodolphe Brisset | Dam won at 1m in a Grade 3 race. Finished 8l behind Under Advisement when sixth of 11 at 9-1 on her racecourse debut at Turfway Park over 6f last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Should go well. |
(2) Justify Perfection | | | | | 3 | Brian Jr Hernandez | Dallas Stewart | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten behind Ragtime Lady at 10-1 when 10th of 16 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Easier to side with others. |
(4) She's Wicked Smart | | | | | 3 | Luis Saez | Robert Falcone | Third of 10 behind Just F Y I beaten 3l at 22-1 on her racecourse debut at Saratoga over 6f in August last year. Leading contender. |

(9) Oh My Mia | | | | | 3 | Flavien Prat | Thomas Amoss | Placed twice in six starts. Third of 10 behind Helen's Little Sis beaten 6l at 6-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f last month. Unlikely to be good enough. |
SHE'S WICKED SMART made a debut full of promise when finishing third at Saratoga in August and provided she is ready to go on her return, she could be the one to beat. Illusion and newcomer Soundbite are others to keep an eye on.
Race 329: 21:18 Gulfstream Race 7 - Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
4th (8) El Socio | | | | | 6 | Sonny Leon | Barry Croft | He has won four times at 1m. Finished 1 3/4l behind Bryce Canyon when fourth of 7 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Katherine Ritvo. Hard to recommend. |
2nd (9) Globes | | | | | 5 | Edgard Zayas | Juan Alvarado | He has won three times at 1m. A winner at 19-5 at Gulfstream over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Mufrih by 1l. Can figure prominently again. |
5th (5) Call My Banker | | | | | 5 | Miguel Vasquez | Sandino Hernandez | He has won three times at 6f. Finished 14l behind Sand Dancer when sixth of 7 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Makes limited appeal. |
1st (6) Bryce Canyon | | | | | 6 | Jose Morelos | S Parbhoo | Winner of six races from 7f to 1m. A winner at 12-5 at Gulfstream over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Honesto by 3/4l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Blake Kelly. The one to be with. |
3rd (3) Kartano | | | | | 6 | Paco Lopez | Jose D Angelo | Winner of six races from 1m to 1m 1f. Won on his latest outing when 6-4fav at Gulfstream over 1m in February, beating Backwoods Boogie by 1 1/4l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Victor Jr Barboza. Another bold showing is likely. |
(1) Swaggish | | | | | 4 | Emisael Jaramillo | Armando De | He has won three times from 5f to 1m. Third of 7 behind Bryce Canyon beaten 1 1/2l at 16-10fav on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Jose D Angelo. Worthy of consideration. |
(2) Desolator | | | | | 9 | Patrick Husbands | Martin Drexler | Winner of seven races from 6f to 1m. Beaten 4 1/2l behind Mr Crowley at 5-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) last month. A threat to all if he stages a revival. |
(4) Coach Abernathy | | | | | 4 | Ismerio Villalobos | Frederick Labo | Successful at 7f and 1m. Finished 4l behind Bryce Canyon when fifth of 7 at 40-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Paulo De. Others appeal more. |
(7) Bohemian Boy | | | | | 6 | Chris Landeros | Mark Casse | He has won four times from 5f to 1m. Finished 7l behind Hope In Him when fifth of 7 at 15-2 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Seems to have lost his way lately. |
(10) Storm P | | | | | 5 | Joseph Trejos | Eniel Cordero | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 9l behind Hercules when sixth of 7 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Reynaldo Yanez. Won deeper races elsewhere last year but need to significantly better that most recent start. |
(11) Kitten's Spa | | | | | 8 | Jesus Rios | Herman Wilensky | Winner of six races from 1m to 1m 3f, but last win was over two years ago. Third of 7 behind Thenorthremembers beaten 2 1/4l at 12-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Others appeal more for win only purposes. |
BRYCE CANYON has strong claims in this company and rates the one to be with based on recent form. Kartano and Globes rate the pick of the rest.
Race 330: 21:20 Hawthorne Race 2 - Maiden Claiming - All Hawthorne Races
3rd (1) Maggie E | | | | | 5 | Rishawn Blanche | Max Quinonez | Placed in ten of 20 starts. Beaten 1l by Heavenly Hash when second of 9 at 4-5fav on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f earlier this month. Reliable but this is tougher than her most recent assignments. |
1st (3) Boyce's Bandita | | | | | 4 | Luis Colon | Brittany Vanden | Placed once in two starts. Finished 8l behind Problematica when fourth of 7 at 3-1 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f earlier this month. Others are preferred. |
2nd (5) Peggy's Way | | | | | 3 | Orlando Mojica | Armando Hernandez | Placed once in five starts. Well beaten at 15-2 behind Rock Star Doctor when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Keeneland over 1m in October last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Carlos Silva. Worth a second look. |
4th (4) Tribest | | | | | 4 | Julio Felix | Eduardo Rodriguez | Placed in three of 12 starts. Beaten 4l by Problematica when second of 7 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f earlier this month. Could be a key player here. |
(2) Image Of Curlin | | | | | 5 | Alexis Centeno | Heather Irion | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 4 1/2l behind Gabagool when fifth of 7 at 9-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f in February. Still learning and warrants a betting check. |
(6) Tu Royal | | | | | 4 | Eduardo Gallardo | Steve Manley | Placed in three of 11 starts. Finished 19l behind Beehive when sixth of 8 at 14-1 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. Consistent and well worth a try at this level. |
(7) Graceful Scarlett | | | | | 3 | Jareth Loveberry | Steve Manley | Yet to place in three starts. Finished 12l behind Pushiness when fourth of 7 at 45-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 5f in June last year. That was a much deeper race and she needs to be taken seriously on her first run for a new stable, previously with Edwin Alvarez. |
This is a competitive maiden but one that can go the way of TRIBEST, who earns the nod based on her showing improved form of late. Graceful Scarlett and Tu Royal are both dropped down in class and therefore warrant consideration.
Race 331: 21:20 Oaklawn Park Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight - All Oaklawn Park Races
3rd (8) Defining Joy | | | | | 3 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Kenneth McPeek | Half-sister to Defining Purpose, won four times at 1m including a Grade 1 race. Well beaten at 30-1 behind Under The Palms when last of 7 on her racecourse debut at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Needs a significant step forward. |
4th (1) Gourmet | | | | | 3 | Joel Rosario | Steven Asmussen | Placed once in two starts. Beaten 5l by Yes Indeed when second of 8 at 18-5 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time and can figure strongly with a step forward. |
1st (6) Flashy Dancer | | | | | 3 | Florent Geroux | B Cox | Half-sister to Open The Wine, won five times between 6f and 1m. Beaten 7l by Little Jamie when second of 10 at 9-5fav on her racecourse debut at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Showed promise that day and has to be taken seriously. |
2nd (5) Miss Rockette | | | | | 3 | Juan Hernandez | Bob Baffert | Dam won three times at 1m and 1m 1f including a Grade 3 race. Purchased for $1,250,000 as a yearling and is a must for consideration on her racecourse bow. |
(2) Catalyst | | | | | 3 | Cristian Torres | Steven Asmussen | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 13l behind Little Jamie when sixth of 10 at 17-5 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Others appeal more. |
(3) Looking For Ginny | | | | | 3 | J R Leparoux | Kenneth McPeek | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 6l behind Yes Indeed when fourth of 8 at 22-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m last month. Needs a big step forward. |
(4) Lyrical Pardon | | | | | 3 | Rafael Bejarano | Thomas Amoss | Yet to place in seven starts. Beaten 6l behind Share The Blessing at 11-2 when eighth of 10 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. Can make the frame and warrants a betting check. |
(7) Scenic Beauty | | | | | 3 | Keith Asmussen | D Lukas | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 6l behind Honor Cat when fourth of 11 at 40-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m in January. Others appeal more. |
(9) Amy Z | | | | | 3 | Richard Eramia | Donnie Von Hemel | Placed in three of seven starts. Finished 11l behind Little Jamie when fifth of 10 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Others appeal more. |
(10) Baby Avery | | | | | 3 | Jon Court | Thomas Vance | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 19l behind Tweetster at 18-1 when 10th of 11 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Might need more time. |
Flashy Dancer and Lyrical Pardon both appear to be going the right way and warrant consideration. However, this looks a good starting point for the Bob Baffert-trained MISS ROCKETTE, who cost $1,250,000 as a yearling and could well be up to providing her connections with an immediate return on the investment.
Race 332: 21:27 Lone Star Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(1) Pomeroy Haze | | | | | 7 | Rene Diaz | Cesar Govea | Has won 12 races from 5f to 7f. Finished 4 1/2l behind Fire Sword when fourth of 8 at 15-2 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. Later promoted to third, but still hard to fancy. |
(2) Love My Jimmy | | | | | 6 | Harry Hernandez | Robertino Diodoro | Has won 12 races from 5f to 6f. A winner at 5-1 at Turf Paradise over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Truth Seeker by 1 3/4l. Hard to oppose. |
(3) Pudding | | | | | 9 | Floyd Jr Wethey | Karen Jacks | Has won 12 races from 5f to 7f. A winner at 11-2 at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Saturday's Gold by a head. A live outsider. |
(4) In The Arch | | | | | 6 | David Cabrera | Karl Broberg | Winner of seven races from 5f to 6f. Finished behind Young Tuscan when fifth of 11 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f last month. Claims on best form. |
(5) Shotshell | | | | | 4 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Ronnie Cravens | He has won three times at 1m. Third of 7 behind Ernie Banker beaten 4l at 19-5 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. Should run well over this shorter trip. |
(6) Risky Priority | | | | | 5 | Elvin Gonzalez | Karl Broberg | He has won three times from 5f to 7f. Beaten 4 1/2l by Emperador when second of 8 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f last month. Likely to give another good account. |
(7) Malibu Thunder | | | | | 5 | Franklin Ceballos | Terry Eoff | He has won three times at 5f. A winner at 11-1 at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) on his latest outing in January, beating Brahms Boy by a head. Could outrun his odds. |
LOVE MY JIMMY is three from three so far this year and he is fancied to score again, possibly at the main expense of Shotshell and Risky Priority.
Race 333: 21:30 Santa Anita Race 2 - Maiden Claiming - All Santa Anita Races
3rd (8) Ms McWhinney | | | | | 3 | Geovanni Franco | S Knapp | Placed once in four starts. Finished 8l behind Avoir when fifth of 8 at 17-4 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. Others might have her measure. |
4th (1) Sabres | | | | | 3 | Edwin Maldonado | Doug O'Neill | Unplaced in all four starts. Beaten 5l behind Paradise Lake at 22-1 when seventh of 10 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) earlier this month. Others look more appealing options. |
5th (9) Precipice | | | | | 4 | Diego Herrera | Rolando Quinonez | Placed in three of four starts. Beaten 2 1/4l by Signora Minister when second of 8 at 17-2 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in May last year. Expected to be bang there. |
2nd (5) Jai Ho | | | | | 4 | Antonio Fresu | M Glatt | Beaten 3 1/2l behind Foolish at 15-1 when seventh of 11 on her racecourse debut at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in May last year. Will need to improve. |
1st (2) Yellow Sun Dress | | | | | 3 | Kyle Frey | M Glatt | Finished behind Tito's N Kenz when fourth of 16 at 18-1 on her racecourse debut at Keeneland over 5f (firm) in April last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Ben Colebrook. More to come. |
(3) Collectively | | | | | 4 | Tyler Baze | Ryan Hanson | Placed in three of six starts. Finished 4l behind Special Flower when fifth of 7 at 17-2 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. Only playing for a minor role. |
(4) In Without Knockin | | | | | 3 | Ricardo Gonzalez | P Eurton | Full sister to Warrior Lady, won at 1m. An interesting newcomer. |
(6) Kimberly's Devil | | | | | 5 | Barrington Harvey | Robert Lucas | Placed twice in 19 starts. Third of 8 behind Anastasio's Secret beaten 2 3/4l at 13-1 on her latest outing at Los Alamitos over 4f earlier this month. This is tougher. |
(7) I'm Still In It | | | | | 4 | Kazushi Kimura | M Glatt | Placed once in three starts. Finished 5l behind Marinas Tina when fourth of 6 at 11-1 on her latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Entitled to be in the shake-up. |
PRECIPICE has been unlucky to fill the runner-up spot on both of her starts here and she can make amends on this occasion. I'm Still In It and Yellow Sun Dress also merit consideration.
Race 334: 21:34 Aqueduct Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Aqueduct Races
4th (2) Synthesis | | | | | 8 | Samuel Jr Camacho | David Jacobson | Has won 11 races from 6f to 1m. A winner at 11-2 at Aqueduct over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating dead-heaters Aggregation and Power Seeker. It would be no surprise to see him get involved. |
2nd (6) Full Screen | | | | | 5 | Isaac Castillo | Mark Casse | He has won three times from 7f to 1m. Finished 11l behind Arthur's Ride when fourth of 6 at 11-5 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Others look stronger. |
3rd (3) Artorius | | | | | 5 | Trevor McCarthy | Chad Brown | Successful at 1m and 1m 1f. Third of 9 behind Bright Future beaten 5l at 6-4fav on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m 1f in July last year. Could land a blow. |
1st (5) Blazing Sevens | | | | | 4 | Manuel Franco | Chad Brown | Successful at 6f and 1m. Third of 5 behind Scotland beaten 6l at 7-10fav on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m 1f in July last year. Leading contender. |
(7) Lord Captain | | | | | 5 | Kendrick Carmouche | Linda Rice | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m. A winner at 5-2 at Aqueduct over 1m on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Aztec. Not without a chance. |
(1) Power Seeker | | | | | 5 | Jose Lezcano | Linda Rice | Successful at 6f and 7f. Beaten by Synthesis when second of 8 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m last month. Entitled to be in the shake-up. |
(4) Ournationonparade | | | | | 7 | Dexter Haddock | Jamie Ness | Has won ten races from 6f to 1m 1f. Third of 10 behind Bump N Run beaten at 5-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Can get involved. |
SYNTHESIS beat Power Seeker (second) by a neck over track and trip last month and he can confirm that form to record a double. Blazing Sevens completes the shortlist.
Race 335: 21:36 Laurel Park Race 9 - Henry S Clark Stakes - All Laurel Park Races
4th (3) Gray's Fable | | | | | 9 | Ben Curtis | Michael Stidham | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m on good ground. Finished 4l behind Ocean Atlantique when fifth of 9 at 9-1 on his latest outing at Churchill Downs over 1m (good) in November last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Brian Lynch. Will appreciate this drop in class. |
2nd (5) English Bee | | | | | 8 | Kevin Gomez | H Motion | Winner of seven races from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 3l behind J P Hellish when fifth of 8 at 13-5fav on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) last month. Yet to show his best this year. |
1st (6) Dataman | | | | | 4 | Jorge Ruiz | H Motion | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 4 1/2l behind Lost Ark when fourth of 5 at 5-1 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Jockey Club Derby Invitational Stakes at Belmont At The Big A over 1m 3f (firm) in October last year. Drops in class on his return and warrants respect. |
3rd (4) Forever Souper | | | | | 5 | Mychel Sanchez | Michael Trombetta | Winner of six races from 7f to 1m 1f on good ground. Won on his latest outing when 1-2fav at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m 1f (good) last month, beating Happyisashappydoes by 1 1/4l. Another bold bid beckons. |
(1) Adero | | | | | 4 | Abner Adorno | John Servis | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m on the all-weather. A winner at 9-4 at Philadelphia Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Irish Cork by 1l. Solid claims. |
(2) Luigi's Spirit | | | | | 5 | Jaime Rodriguez | Rodolfo Salomon | Successful twice at 1m on the all-weather. Beaten behind Iywaan at 19-5 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m in February. Others make more appeal. |
(7) Heaven Street | | | | | 5 | Daniel Centeno | Michael Maker | Winner of five races from 5f to 1m on firm and good ground. Beaten 9l behind Coppola at 8-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f (good) in February. Look elsewhere. |
(8) Eons | | | | | 8 | Victor Carrasco | Arnaud Delacour | Winner of seven races from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 2 1/2l by Yamato when second of 10 at 17-5 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 4f (good) in September last year. Worthy of consideration on his return. |
(9) Hay Chief | | | | | 4 | Angel Cruz | Rodolfo Salomon | Winner of five races at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 6l behind Ain't Da Beer Cold at 45-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 1f earlier this month. Needs to leave that performance well behind. |
FOREVER SOUPER is two from two since the turn of the year and he might be able to complete the hat-trick. There are a number of potential dangers, though, including Gray's Fable and Eons.
Race 336: 21:37 Tampa Bay Downs Race 9 - Claiming - All Tampa Bay Downs Races
2nd (7) Unwhirled | | | | | 5 | Gabriel Maldonado | Yoni Orantes | She has won three times at 1m on the all-weather. Finished behind Paper Mansion when last of 6 at 55-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m 3f (good) last month. Faces a stiff assignment. |
3rd (8) Irazu | | | | | 6 | Mario Fuentes | Douglas Jones | Winner of five races at 1m on good ground. Finished 19l behind Passionfortreasure when last of 6 at 40-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Can figure. |
1st (10) Cindy's Song | | | | | 5 | Richard Bracho | Oscar Gonzalez | She has won three times at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Diosa Catrina when last of 12 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Not a forlorn hope. |
5th (4) Fall Moon | | | | | 7 | Alonso Quinonez | Tim Padilla | She has won four times at 1m on good ground. Beaten 11l behind Diosa Catrina at 55-1 when seventh of 12 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. Merits consideration. |
4th (2) Smart Spending | | | | | 6 | Jose Batista | Victor Barboza | Winner of six races at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 8l behind Cindylouwho when fifth of 8 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in July last year. The drop in grade is a positive. |
(1) Tempereya | | | | | 6 | Angel Rodriguez | Craig Smith | She has won three times at 1m on the all-weather. Well beaten at 16-1 behind Calendula when last of 8 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m earlier this month. Needs to raise her game. |
(3) Suwannee Chick | | | | | 5 | Jose Torrealba | Hernan Parra | She has won three times at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Anotherdaygoneby when last of 6 at 45-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) last month. She's difficult to recommend following a series of lacklustre efforts. |
(5) Chem Major | | | | | 5 | Angel Arroyo | Jennifer Quinones | Winner of five races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 7 behind Music Amore beaten at 11-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Main track only. |
(6) Angelas Party Girl | | | | | 4 | Melissa Iorio | Derek Ryan | She has won four times from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Passionfortreasure when fourth of 6 at 6-1 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Could land a blow. |
(9) The Sweaty Fox | | | | | 5 | Alex Gonzalez | Tony Wilson | She has won three times at 6f on the all-weather. Beaten by Wheelingndealing when second of 6 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 6f last month. Has a bit to prove on the turf and others appeal more. |
Smart Spending drops in grade for her return to action and must be respected, but recent match practice could prove vital and fellow class-dropper FALL MOON is preferred. Angelas Party Girl is another to consider.
Race 337: 21:38 San Isidro Race 10 - Clasico Jose B ARG 0m 7f 101y - All San Isidro Races
4th (1) Yak Sport | | | | | 3 | Rodriguez Aserito | Miguel Medina | Look elsewhere for the winner. |
1st (6) Llego Bien | | | | | 3 | Adrian Maximiliano Giannetti | Juan Etchechoury | Not without a chance. |
3rd (11) The Goat | | | | | 3 | Gustavo Emiliano Calvente | Juan Maldotti | One to be interested in. |
2nd (3) One Thing | | | | | 3 | Martin Antonio La | Alfredo Gaitan | Could get involved. |
(2) Atomic John | | | | | 3 | Osvaldo Adrian Alderete | Michael Rivollier | Unlikely to trouble his rivals. |
(4) Beatles | | | | | 3 | Eduardo Ortega | Nicolas Martin | Could run into the money. |
(5) Travel Pass | | | | | 3 | Martin Javier Valle | Juan Etchechoury | Should go well. |
(7) Blue Dollar | | | | | 3 | William Pereyra | Juan Etchechoury | Warrants plenty of respect. |
(8) Clever Stripes | | | | | 3 | Lautaro Emmanuel Balmaceda | Omar Labanca | Unlikely to be good enough. |
(9) End Of The Road | | | | | 3 | Wilson Rosario Moreyra | Juan Oural | Others look more appealing options. |
(10) Es Nuestro | | | | | 3 | Francisco Leandro Fernandes | Juan Etchechoury | Could be the one to beat. |
Race 338: 21:44 Keeneland Race 8 - VisitLEX Elkhorn Stakes - Grade 2 - All Keeneland Races
(6) Wentru | | | | | 6 | Axel Concepcion | William Walden | Winner of six races from 7f to 1m 4f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 14l behind Cellist at 125-1 when 10th of 11 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Twinspires Kentucky Cup Classic Stakes at Turfway Park over 1m 1f last month. Unlikely to trouble his rivals. |
4th (2) King Curlin | | | | | 5 | Christopher Emigh | Brittany Vanden | Successful at 1m 1f and 1m 4f on good ground. A winner at 17-2 at Gulfstream over 1m 4f (good) on his latest outing in January, beating Harry Hood by 1/2l. This is more demanding. |
(1) The Grey Wizard | | | | | 5 | Luis Saez | H Motion | He has won three times from 1m 2f to 1m 4f on good ground. Beaten 13l behind Channel Maker at 11-2 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing in the Grade 2 Bowling Green Stakes at Saratoga over 1m 3f (good) in July last year. Hard to fancy. |
(5) Dynadrive | | | | | 7 | Reylu Gutierrez | Michael Maker | Has won nine races from 1m to 1m 4f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 5l behind Starting Over at 9-1 when seventh of 10 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Mac Diarmida Stakes at Gulfstream over 1m 3f (good) last month. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
(9) Lucky Curlin | | | | | 7 | Gerardo Corrales | Michael Maker | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Kertez when fifth of 8 at 22-1 on his latest outing in the Grade 2 Pan American Stakes at Gulfstream over 1m 4f last month. Not today. |
(8) Foreign Relations | | | | | 6 | Declan Cannon | Conor Murphy | He has won three times from 1m 2f to 1m 4f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 6l by Ohana Honor when second of 8 at 85-40 on his latest outing at Keeneland over 1m 4f (good) earlier this month. More is required. |
(3) Highland Chief | | | | | 7 | John Velazquez | H Motion | He has won four times from 5f to 1m 4f on good and soft ground. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Rebel's Romance when 12th of 13 on his latest outing in the Grade 1 Longines Breeders' Cup Turf at Keeneland over 1m 4f (good) in November '22. Dangerous to dismiss. |
(7) Winning Spirit | | | | | 4 | Tyler Gaffalione | Christophe Clement | Successful at 7f and 1m 4f on good to soft ground. Won on his latest outing when 8-13fav at Baden-Baden over 1m 4f (good to soft) in August last year, beating Kammuri Diamond by 3 1/2l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with P Schiergen in Germany. One to watch out for. |
1st (11) Silver Knott | | | | | 4 | Flavien Prat | C Appleby | He has won three times from 7f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 7 behind Program Trading beaten 2 1/2l at 9-2 on his latest outing in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby at Del Mar over 1m 1f (good) in December last year. Foolish to overlook. |
2nd (10) Missed The Cut | | | | | 5 | Irad Ortiz Jr | John Sadler | Winner of seven races from 1m to 1m 4f on good to firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when evens fav at Santa Anita over 1m 4f (good) last month, beating Planetario by 1 1/4l. It would be no surprise to see him feature. |
3rd (4) Bold Act | | | | | 4 | L Dettori | C Appleby | Winner of seven races from 7f to 1m 4f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft and on the all-weather. A winner at Meydan over 1m 4f last month, beating Warren Point by 2l. Expected to be bang there. |
Charlie Appleby has a strong hand in this contest with BOLD ACT and Silver Knott, and preference is for the former after his Grade 2 victory at Meydan. His stablemate finished third at the highest level at Del Mar in December and has to be respected, while Missed The Cut is in fine form and is another to note.
Race 339: 21:45 Golden Gate Fields Race 1 - Maiden Claiming - All Golden Gate Fields Races
3rd (1) Drewy | | | | | 3 | Silvio Amador | Blaine Wright | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 8l behind Lapush when fourth of 6 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Emerald Downs over 5f in August last year. Could land a blow. |
2nd (6) Simply Gracious | | | | | 3 | William III Antongeorgi | Blaine Wright | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 11l behind Hot Betty at 9-4 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 5f last month. Merits respect. |
1st (5) Keepyourpranceon | | | | | 3 | Alexander Chavez | Miguel Ramirez | Yet to place in seven starts. Finished 6l behind Beat Of My Heart when fourth of 6 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 5f last month. Holds every chance. |
4th (3) Galway Shawl | | | | | 3 | Hugo Herrera | Isidro Tamayo | Full sister to Rachel's Coach, won twice at 5f. Capable of a decent showing. |
(2) Daddy's Honey | | | | | 3 | Assael Espinoza | Steve Sherman | Half-sister to Rock N Roll Song, won five times at 4f and 1m. Market check advised. |
(4) Luna Linda | | | | | 3 | Cristobal Herrera | Marcelino Trujillo | Dam unraced. Homework doesn't inspire much confidence. |
KEEPYOURPRANCEON has stepped forward on her most recent outings and this appears to be an excellent opportunity for the filly to get off the mark. Others to note are Drewy and Simply Gracious.
Race 340: 21:50 Hawthorne Race 3 - Maiden Claiming - All Hawthorne Races
3rd (6) Altar Girl | | | | | 4 | Orlando Mojica | Veronica Litfin | Placed once in 15 starts. Finished 14l behind Jilly's West when sixth of 8 at 25-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f last month. Others are readily preferred. |
1st (1) Jocelyn | | | | | 3 | Rishawn Blanche | Elias Lopez | Placed once in seven starts. Beaten 12l behind Echo Dreamer at 8-1 when eighth of 11 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time and would be dangerous to rule out. |
4th (7) Good Magic Woman | | | | | 3 | Eduardo Gallardo | Cheryl Winebaugh | Yet to place in five starts. Finished behind In Our Time when fourth of 8 at 14-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Robert Hess Jr. A potential improver and a betting check could be revealing. |
2nd (3) Anna After Midnite | | | | | 3 | Julio Felix | Brittany Vanden | Placed once in six starts. Third of 11 behind Echo Dreamer beaten 4l at 9-10fav on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. Has some solid form and needs to be taken seriously. |
(2) Holy Star | | | | | 7 | Emmanuel Giles | George Weir | Placed twice in 14 starts. Finished 11l behind Heavenly Hash when sixth of 9 at 80-1 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f earlier this month. Hard to recommend. |
(4) Lightning Melody | | | | | 4 | Luis Colon | Elias Lopez | Yet to place in five starts. Well beaten at 28-1 behind Talkin Cadee when last of 9 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) in February. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Cesar Govea. Would be a surprise winner in this company. |
(5) Mulsanne | | | | | 6 | Yoel Navas | Frank Horvath | Placed in six of 19 starts. Well beaten at 100-1 behind Twas Lola when last of 8 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 1m earlier this month. Makes very limited appeal. |
ANNA AFTER MIDNITE has faced stiffer tests than the one she is tasked with here and this could finally be her day to shine. Mulsanne and Good Magic Woman are a couple to bear in mind for the forecast slot.
Race 341: 21:50 Gulfstream Race 8 - Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
2nd (1) Amy The Butcher | | | | | 3 | Anthony Thomas | Herbert Miller | Successful at 5f and 6f. A winner at 5-1 at Gulfstream over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Shez Speightful. Holds a live chance. |
1st (3) Miss Ucrania | | | | | 4 | Jose Morelos | Luis Duco | Successful at 7f and 1m. Finished 13l behind Steel Racer when fifth of 7 at 25-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Shortlist material. |
5th (4) Go Margie Go | | | | | 3 | Miguel Vasquez | Blake Kelly | Successful at 5f and 1m. Finished 1l behind Voice From Above when fourth of 8 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Larry Rivelli. In the mix. |
4th (2) Bazinga C | | | | | 5 | Paco Lopez | S Joseph Jr | Winner of six races from 5f to 1m. Finished 13l behind Socially Selective when fifth of 6 at 35-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f in February. Dangerous to underestimate. |
3rd (7) American Of Course | | | | | 7 | Emisael Jaramillo | Kathleen O'Connell | Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. Finished 5l behind Gunesh when fourth of 6 at 4-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f last month. Hard to fancy. |
(5) Sade Purse | | | | | 6 | Cipriano Gil | Gerald James | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 13l behind Sophia's Storm when sixth of 9 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f in March last year. Others are preferred. |
(6) Just Take Notes | | | | | 3 | Chris Landeros | Roderick Rodriguez | Successful twice at 6f. Beaten 16l behind Unrelentless at 30-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f last month. Needs to take a big step forward from recent efforts. |
(8) Speed Salsa | | | | | 7 | Fernando Jara | Jeffrey Crooks | She has won four times from 5f to 1m. Beaten 9l behind Fortuna Belle at 40-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Makes limited appeal. |
This is well within the compass of comfortable last-time-out winner AMY THE BUTCHER, who could be way ahead of these with a repeat effort. Bazinga C and Go Margie Go can fight it out for second.
Race 342: 21:52 Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Oaklawn Park Races
2nd (1) Pappy's Revenge | | | | | 3 | Francisco Arrieta | McLean Robertson | A winner at 1m. Third of 10 behind Maximus Magic beaten 1 1/2l at 15-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Shortlist material. |
1st (2) Mighty Message | | | | | 3 | Cristian Torres | Thomas Amoss | A winner at 6f. Beaten 8l by Evening News when second of 10 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. The one to be with. |
3rd (7) Give Me A Reason | | | | | 3 | Ricardo Jr Santana | Steven Asmussen | A winner at 1m. Finished 1 3/4l behind Maximus Magic when fourth of 10 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. A betting check is advised. |
4th (6) Dimatic | | | | | 3 | Joel Rosario | Steven Asmussen | A winner at 1m. Well beaten at 60-1 behind Muth when last of 10 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m 1f last month. Faced a stiff test that day and is not ruled out here. |
(3) Call The Cavalry | | | | | 3 | J R Leparoux | Kenneth McPeek | A winner at 5f. Finished 8l behind Yo Yo Candy when fifth of 9 at 11-2 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Sanford Stakes at Saratoga over 6f in July last year. Should have a lot more to offer and rates a player at this level. |
(4) Golden Plate | | | | | 3 | Ramon Vazquez | John Ortiz | A winner at 4-1 at Oaklawn Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Greers Ferry. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Kenneth McPeek. A solid contender and warrants a second look given he could improve now he has been gelded. |
(5) Awesome Ruta | | | | | 3 | Alexander Castillo | Joseph Foster | A winner at 6f. Beaten 12l behind Catching Freedom at 120-1 when 9th of 11 on his latest outing in the Grade 2 Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds over 1m 1f last month. Commands respect at this level. |
(8) Ethan Energy | | | | | 3 | Florent Geroux | B Cox | A winner at 1m. Finished 4l behind Time For Truth when fifth of 8 at 33-10 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. Well held in both starts since breaking his maiden and now has something to prove. |
(9) Chaperone | | | | | 3 | Martin Chuan | Randy Morse | A winner at 6f. Well beaten at 30-1 behind Northern Flame when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m (good) in January. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ron Moquett. Respected but this trip is a concern. |
MIGHTY MESSAGE was a clear second best behind an enterprisingly-ridden winner last time out and could be hard to beat if Cristian Torres ensures the Goldencents colt races closer to the pace. Pappy's Revenge and the class-dropping Call The Cavalry can fight it out as best of the rest.
Race 343: 21:55 Lone Star Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(1) Fire Sword | | | | | 6 | Iram Diego | Carlos Padilla | Has won ten races from 5f to 7f. A winner at 10-1 at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Yankee Indian by 2l. Leading claims. |
(2) Take Me Up Brady | | | | | 9 | Gerardo Mora | Paul Pearson | Winner of five races from 5f to 6f. Beaten 12l behind Captain Don at 16-1 when last of 9 on his latest outing at Prairie Meadows over 5f in September last year. Best watched. |
(3) Mister K | | | | | 7 | Elvin Gonzalez | Robert Young | Winner of six races from 5f to 7f. Beaten a neck by Monet's Devil when second of 8 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Ronnie Cravens III. A live outsider. |
(4) Gentleman's Secret | | | | | 8 | Harry Hernandez | Karl Broberg | Has won nine races from 5f to 6f. Finished 3 1/2l behind Monet's Devil when fifth of 8 at 6-4fav on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Needs more. |
(5) Pickens | | | | | 7 | Rene Diaz | George Bryant | Has won 12 races from 5f to 6f. Beaten 9l behind Bron And Brow at 50-1 when last of 9 on his latest outing at Delta Downs over 5f in February. Takes a big drop in class. |
(6) Play Rule | | | | | 6 | David Cabrera | Steve Roubion | Winner of six races from 4f to 7f. Finished 19l behind Quarterback Dak when sixth of 7 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 7f in February. Very disappointing that day. |
(7) Yankee Indian | | | | | 6 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Ronnie Cravens | Has won nine races from 5f to 7f. Beaten 2l by Fire Sword when second of 8 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. Should give another good account. |
FIRE SWORD comfortably beat Yankee Indian over 6f at Sam Houston 15 days ago and he could confirm that form en route to notching an 11th career win. Pickens can improve on recent efforts with his sights lowered.
Race 344: 22:00 Santa Anita Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight - All Santa Anita Races
2nd (5) Mongolian Gold | | | | | 4 | Jeremy Laprida | Enebish Ganbat | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 10l behind Ghost Of Midnight when last of 6 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m in January. Hard to fancy. |
4th (2) Fast Chaz | | | | | 3 | Edwin Maldonado | Doug O'Neill | Placed twice in four starts. Third of 11 behind Ngannou beaten 4 1/2l at 20-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) earlier this month. Will be hard to keep out of the finish. |
1st (1) Normandy Landing | | | | | 3 | Kazushi Kimura | Bob Baffert | Placed once in three starts. Beaten 4l by Ashcroft when second of 5 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m last month. A key player. |
3rd (3) Duran | | | | | 4 | Umberto Rispoli | Michael McCarthy | Placed once in five starts. Third of 5 behind Ashcroft beaten 4l at 17-2 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m last month. Hard to rule out. |
(4) Nuclear | | | | | 4 | Antonio Fresu | John Sadler | Placed once in two starts. Third of 6 behind Escape Artist beaten 2 3/4l at 3-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m 1f (good) in April last year. Another with claims. |
NORMANDY LANDING (second) had Duran (third) behind over track and trip last month and he can confirm that form to go one better. Nuclear completes the shortlist.
Race 345: 22:07 Aqueduct Race 8 - Danger's Hour Stakes - All Aqueduct Races
4th (6) Pioneering Spirit | | | | | 5 | Jose Lezcano | Linda Rice | Winner of six races from 1m to 1m 3f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 1 3/4l behind Big Everest when fourth of 8 at 14-5fav on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m (good) in November last year. Not dismissed. |
3rd (7) Dakota Gold | | | | | 5 | Dylan Davis | Danny Gargan | Winner of five races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished behind Spirit Of St Louis when fifth of 8 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Belmont At The Big A over 1m (firm) in October last year. Worth a second look. |
1st (3) Spirit Of St Louis | | | | | 5 | Manuel Franco | Chad Brown | Winner of five races from 1m to 1m 1f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 5-4fav at Belmont At The Big A over 1m (firm) in October last year, beating City Man. In cracking form and that could continue. |
2nd (5) Equitize | | | | | 4 | Javier Castellano | Chad Brown | Successful twice at 1m on good ground. Won on his latest outing when 2-5fav at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m (good) in February, beating The Skipster by 3 1/2l. Could have more to offer. |
(1) Masen | | | | | 6 | Trevor McCarthy | Chad Brown | Winner of five races from 7f to 1m on good ground. Finished behind Ice Chocolat when fourth of 16 at 19-10fav on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) in January. This is more demanding. |
(2) Tidal Forces | | | | | 6 | Kendrick Carmouche | Fernando Abreu | Winner of six races from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 10 behind Smokin' T beaten 1/2l at 60-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) last month. Foolish to overlook. |
(4) Heaven Street | | | | | 5 | Jose Gomez | Michael Maker | Winner of five races from 5f to 1m on firm and good ground. Beaten 9l behind Coppola at 8-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f (good) in February. Look elsewhere. |
(8) Bring Me A Check | | | | | 7 | Isaac Castillo | Patrick Reynolds | Has won eight races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 13l behind Printrack when fifth of 7 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f in January. Difficult to make a case for. |
(9) Ouster | | | | | 6 | Kendrick Carmouche | Mark Hennig | Winner of five races from 7f to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 13-5 at Aqueduct over 7f on his latest outing last month, beating Life Changer. Main track only. Reserve. |
SPIRIT OF ST LOUIS has been victorious on four of his last five outings and while he is in this sort of form, he isn't one to take on. Tidal Forces and Equitize can follow him home.
Race 346: 22:08 San Isidro Race 11 - Handicap Phoenix H ARG 0m 4f 214y - All San Isidro Races
4th (3) Mambo Italiano | | | | | 5 | Sergio Antonio Piliero | Santiago Zarate | Difficult to make a case for. |
3rd (6) Lindaflor La Violeta | | | | | 5 | Wilson Rosario Moreyra | Juan Oural | Others might have her measure. |
1st (1) Quibbler | | | | | 5 | Lautaro Emmanuel Balmaceda | Marcelo Lafuente | Entitled to be in the shake-up. |
2nd (9) Humor Sabatino | | | | | 6 | Martin Javier Valle | Sebastian Latof | Can get involved. |
(2) Camuflaje | | | | | 5 | Brian Rodrigo Enrique | Eduardo Accosano | Likely to be on the premises. |
(4) Caporal Key | | | | | 6 | | Milton Puerari | It's best to look elsewhere. |
(5) Maranelo | | | | | 5 | Juan Carlos Noriega | Roberto Pellegatta | Expected to mount a serious challenge. |
(7) Catanazo | | | | | 7 | Rolando Frias | Luis Bedoya | He has a bit to find. |
(8) Dom Dorva | | | | | 5 | William Pereyra | Maria Rizza | Likely to come up short. |
Race 347: 22:09 Laurel Park Race 10 - Frederico Tesio Stakes - All Laurel Park Races
4th (9) Carolo Rapido | | | | | 3 | Jorge Ruiz | Todd Pletcher | Won on his latest outing when 13-10fav at Laurel Park over 1m last month, beating Intrepid's Legacy. He will need more to follow up. |
3rd (10) Inveigled | | | | | 3 | Mychel Sanchez | Jane Cibelli | Successful at 5f and 1m. Beaten a neck by Copper Tax when second of 9 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Holds every chance. |
2nd (1) Speedyness | | | | | 3 | Jaime Rodriguez | Jamie Ness | Winner of five races from 4f to 1m. Third of 9 behind Copper Tax beaten 1/2l at 13-5 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Can make his presence felt. |
5th (7) Lat Long | | | | | 3 | Horacio Karamanos | Kenneth McPeek | A winner at 1m. Beaten 14l behind Sierra Leone at 55-1 when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Keeneland over 1m 1f earlier this month. Can mount a serious challenge. |
1st (11) Copper Tax | | | | | 3 | J G Torrealba | Gary Capuano | Winner of six races from 5f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 9-4fav at Laurel Park over 1m last month, beating Inveigled by a neck. Another bold bid looks assured. |
(2) Celtic Contender | | | | | 3 | Jevian Toledo | Hamilton Smith | A winner at 1m. Beaten 19l behind Copper Tax at 17-2 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Will do well to win this. |
(3) Circle P | | | | | 3 | Sheldon Russell | Flint Stites | Successful at 6f and 7f. Finished 2 1/2l behind Copper Tax when fourth of 9 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time, which will need to spark some improvement. |
(4) Startswithadream | | | | | 3 | Jeiron Barbosa | Ii James Lawrence, | A winner at 6f. Finished 7l behind Copper Tax when fifth of 9 at 28-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Looks held on that form. |
(5) Classic Joke | | | | | 3 | Daniel Centeno | Richard Sillaman | Successful twice at 6f. Well beaten at 8-1 behind Reasoned Analysis when 9th of 10 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f earlier this month. Has something to prove at this level. |
(6) Mission Beach | | | | | 3 | | Brittany Russell | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 6l behind Reasoned Analysis when fourth of 10 at 17-2 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 7f earlier this month. Likely to find a few too strong. |
(8) Malinois | | | | | 3 | | Phillip Capuano | He has won three times at 1m. A winner at 9-4 at Laurel Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Secret Zipper. Progressive and he's not without a chance, despite the rise in grade. |
Copper Tax (winner), Inveigled (second) and Speedyness (third) square off once more having met in a similar course event last time. All must be respected, but LAT LONG will find this easier than the Grade 1 he contested at Keeneland recently and is preferred.
Race 348: 22:15 Golden Gate Fields Race 2 - Starter Allowance - All Golden Gate Fields Races
1st (6) Deo | | | | | 4 | Hugo Herrera | Gloria Haley | A winner at 1m on the all-weather. Finished 2 3/4l behind Lord Sheldon when fourth of 6 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m last month. Not a forlorn hope. |
4th (1) Mr. Fighter | | | | | 4 | Leonel Camacho Flores | Terry Johnson | A winner at 5f on the all-weather. Beaten a short head by North Country when second of 7 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 6f earlier this month. Merits consideration. |
3rd (3) Acclider | | | | | 6 | Santos Rivera | Jesus Ramos | Successful twice at 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 11-10fav at Golden Gate Fields over 1m (good) earlier this month, beating Hot Journey by a neck. More required. |
2nd (2) Hydro Frost | | | | | 5 | William III Antongeorgi | Jamey Thomas | Successful at 6f and 1m on the all-weather. Finished 1 1/2l behind Lord Sheldon when fifth of 8 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m in February. Has to be respected. |
(4) Light The Beam | | | | | 3 | Luis Aburto Jimenez | Jamey Thomas | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 8l behind Lord Prancealot when fourth of 6 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 6f last month. Others make more appeal. |
(5) Right Hand Ryder | | | | | 3 | Assael Espinoza | Samuel Calvario | Successful twice at 1m on the all-weather. A winner at 13-5 at Golden Gate Fields over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Helen's Sun by 1 1/2l. Arrives in fine fettle. |
RIGHT HAND RYDER hasn't looked back since being gelded and a third win on the spin appears to be likely. Mr. Fighter and Hydro Frost are both capable of a decent showing.
Race 349: 22:16 Keeneland Race 9 - Ben Ali Stakes - Grade 3 - All Keeneland Races
3rd (6) Archie The Giza | | | | | 5 | John Velazquez | Robert Medina | Successful at 1m and 1m 1f. A winner at 16-1 at Oaklawn Park over 1m 1f on his latest outing last month, beating Sun Thunder by 1/2l. Others are preferred. |
(5) Laughing Boy | | | | | 6 | Reylu Gutierrez | David Jacobson | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f. Beaten 1l by Messier when second of eight at 50-1 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m 1f last month. A watching brief advised. |
(8) Happy American | | | | | 6 | Corey Lanerie | Neil Pessin | Winner of five races from 1m to 1m 2f. Beaten 11l behind Red Route One at 35-1 when seventh of nine on his latest outing in the Grade 2 New Orleans Classic Stakes at Fair Grounds over 1m 1f last month. Easily overlooked. |
4th (1) Time For Trouble | | | | | 7 | Flavien Prat | Jeff Hiles | Has won 11 races from 1m to 1m 3f. Third of eight behind First Mission beaten 6l at 16-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m 1f last month. Claims on his penultimate effort. |
(7) Dynamic One | | | | | 6 | Irad Ortiz Jr | Todd Pletcher | He has won four times from 1m 1f to 1m 2f. Finished 4l behind Skippylongstocking when fourth of six at 14-5 on his latest outing at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month. Opposable. |
(2) Surly Furious | | | | | 6 | L Dettori | Glenn Wismer | Has won eight races from 6f to 1m. Finished 4 1/2l behind Cellist when sixth of 11 at 17-4 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Twinspires Kentucky Cup Classic Stakes at Turfway Park over 1m 1f last month. A minor role awaits. |
(3) Smile Happy | | | | | 5 | Brian Jr Hernandez | Kenneth McPeek | He has won four times from 1m to 1m 1f. Finished 10l behind Money Supply when fifth of eight at 5-1 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Mineshaft Stakes at Fair Grounds over 1m in February. Needs considering. |
2nd (9) War Campaign | | | | | 5 | Tyler Gaffalione | Philip Sims | He has won four times from 1m to 1m 2f. Beaten 5l by First Mission when second of eight at 13-2 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m 1f last month. Can go one better. |
1st (4) Kingsbarns | | | | | 4 | Luis Saez | Todd Pletcher | He has won four times from 7f to 1m 1f. Won on his latest outing when 3-5fav at Gulfstream over 7f last month, beating Vivir Con Alegria. Another big run can be expected. |
WAR CAMPAIGN has been in excellent form of late and a second win in three starts could be in the offing for the five-year-old. His chief threats look to be Kingsbarns and Time For Trouble.
Race 350: 22:20 Hawthorne Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight - All Hawthorne Races
4th (8) I Did The Math | | | | | 4 | Orlando Mojica | John Rednour, Jr | Placed twice in four starts. Finished 13l behind Beehive when fourth of 8 at 45-1 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. Foolish to overlook. |
2nd (7) Lions Law | | | | | 3 | Eduardo Gallardo | R Young | Well beaten at 25-1 behind Secret Glenda when last of 10 on her racecourse debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5f (firm) in November last year. Needs to improve. |
3rd (1) Joyzella | | | | | 4 | Rishawn Blanche | Ida Spagnola | Placed in five of 16 starts. Well beaten at 40-1 behind Fast N Happy when last of 12 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f earlier this month. Could land a blow. |
1st (4) Devil | | | | | 3 | Olaf Hernandez | Michele Boyce | Placed in three of seven starts. Beaten 4 1/2l by Beehive when second of 8 at 13-5 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. Will prove hard to beat. |
(2) Miss High N Mighty | | | | | 6 | Carlos Ulloa | Carlos Ramirez | Placed in five of 27 starts. Finished 7l behind Betty's Secret when fourth of 9 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Fairmount Park over 6f in November last year. Others appeal more. |
(3) The Last Thrill | | | | | 4 | Luis Colon | Elias Lopez | Placed once in three starts. Third of 8 behind Beehive beaten 12l at 75-1 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. She has a bit to find. |
(5) Collie Wrays Kitty | | | | | 4 | Yoel Navas | John Rednour, Jr | Yet to place in three starts. Well beaten at 125-1 behind Beehive when last of 8 on her latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. Difficult to make a case for. |
(6) Cheryl's Appeal | | | | | 3 | Jareth Loveberry | Larry Rivelli | Half-sister to Birdman Richie, won twice between 5f and 1m. Well beaten at 11-2 behind Beehive when seventh of 8 on her racecourse debut at Hawthorne over 5f last month. One to be interested in. |
DEVIL had I Did The Math two places behind when finishing second at this level over 5f here last time and she can confirm that form to go one better. Joyzella completes the shortlist.
Race 351: 22:20 Gulfstream Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
3rd (9) Me And My Shadow | | | | | 4 | Chris Landeros | Mark Casse | Successful at 5f and 1m on the all-weather. Finished 6l behind Tito's Calling when fifth of 8 at 13-8fav on her latest outing at Woodbine over 1m 2f (good) in September last year. In the mix if raring to go after a break. |
5th (2) Beach Party Bingo | | | | | 4 | Edgard Zayas | S Joseph Jr | Successful at 7f and 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 17-5 at Gulfstream over 7f (good) on her latest outing in February, beating Crystal Coast by 1 1/4l. Hard to oppose. |
4th (7) Storm Miami | | | | | 3 | Leonel Reyes | Brendan Walsh | A winner at 5f on good ground. Finished 7l behind One Look when fourth of 23 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Curragh over 7f (yielding - soft) in September last year. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Having her first run for a new stable today. Well worth a betting check on her North American debut. |
1st (1) Royal Dame | | | | | 4 | Vincent Cheminaud | Robert Falcone | Winner of five races from 1m to 1m 1f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 5l behind American Retro at 6-1 when eighth of 11 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) in February. In the mix if she can bounce back from that modest run. |
2nd (4) Party On Girl | | | | | 5 | Emisael Jaramillo | Chad Brown | Successful twice at 1m on the all-weather, but last win was over two years ago. Third of 11 behind Ro Town beaten 1 3/4l at 4-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) last month. A place is feasible. |
(3) Boston Rose | | | | | 4 | Joe Bravo | J Sisterson | Unplaced in all five starts. Beaten 5l behind Admissible at 14-1 when seventh of 9 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 5f last month. Makes limited appeal. |
(5) Big Band Luzziann | | | | | 6 | Jesus Rios | Fernando Abreu | Winner of six races from 5f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 1l by Don't Get Pickled when second of 6 at 9-4 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m earlier this month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Martin Drexler. One of the more likelier winners. |
(6) Ipanema Princess | | | | | 4 | Paco Lopez | P Biancone | She has won three times from 7f to 1m on good to firm and good ground. Finished 2 1/2l behind New Rome when fourth of 7 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) last month. Better than she could muster the last twice and is not ruled out here. |
(8) Mama Maria | | | | | 4 | Miguel Vasquez | Jose D Angelo | Successful twice at 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 11l behind Steel Racer when fourth of 7 at 15-2 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. A minor role looks the most likely scenario. |
(10) Starship Aurora | | | | | 4 | Sonny Leon | Steven Dwoskin | Successful at 7f and 1m on the all-weather. Finished behind Marksman Queen when fourth of 9 at 11-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in December last year. Respected but carries risk for win only purposes. |
Me And My Shadow and Starship Aurora are two to monitor closely in the betting but recent form suggests that BEACH PARTY BINGO is the one to be with in this company.
Race 352: 22:23 Lone Star Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight - All Lone Star Races
(1) Flying J Ragnar | | | | | 4 | Gerber Pivaral | Thunder Johnson | Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 60-1 behind Without A Trace when last of 11 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m earlier this month. Opposable. |
(2) Pearse | | | | | 4 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Ronnie Cravens | Placed twice in ten starts. Beaten 20l behind Without A Trace at 9-2 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m earlier this month. Needs to raise his game. |
(3) One Last Bid | | | | | 4 | Erik Asmussen | Steven Asmussen | Yet to place in three starts. Finished 2 3/4l behind All Country when fourth of 6 at 9-4fav on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Can make his presence felt. |
(4) Get Ripped | | | | | 4 | Floyd Jr Wethey | Karen Jacks | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 8l behind All Country when last of 6 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Faces a stiff assignment. |
(5) Hold My Beer Bro | | | | | 3 | Jermaine Bridgmohan | Allen Dupuy | Placed twice in six starts. Finished 17l behind Last Attack when sixth of 11 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Enters calculations. |
(6) Dinero De La Casa | | | | | 3 | Iram Diego | Austin Gustafson | Placed in three of four starts. Third of 11 behind Last Attack beaten 3l at 13-5fav on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. In the mix. |
(7) Ringside | | | | | 4 | David Cabrera | Danny Pish | Placed once in eight starts. Finished 12l behind Without A Trace when fourth of 11 at 11-5jt-fav on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m earlier this month. Could land a blow. |
(8) Nerky Rose | | | | | 4 | Rene Diaz | J Caldwell | Placed in six of 15 starts. Beaten a neck by All Country when second of 6 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Holds every chance. |
(9) Blame Dennis | | | | | 3 | Rodolfo Guerra | Rachael Keithan | Yet to place in three starts. Well beaten at 50-1 behind Gracious Kat when sixth of 7 on his latest outing at Delta Downs over 5f in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Anthony Arey. Look elsewhere for the winner. |
(10) Bishop Creek | | | | | 3 | Jose Alvarez | Lee Rossi | Dam won twice at 6f. Finished 5l behind Last Attack when fourth of 11 at 18-1 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) last month. Others preferred. |
(11) Inform | | | | | 3 | Stewart Elliott | Steven Asmussen | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 20l behind Nullify at 14-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m earlier this month. Reserve. |
Having been narrowly denied on his latest outing, NERKY ROSE can go one better, possibly at the main expense of One Last Bid. Ringside is also noted.
Race 353: 22:30 Santa Anita Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight - All Santa Anita Races
3rd (3) Capital Outlay | | | | | 3 | Abdul Alsagoor | Peter Miller | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 12l behind The Big Cheeseola when fifth of 6 at 9-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f earlier this month. Hard to recommend. |
4th (5) Just A Graze | | | | | 3 | Armando Ayuso | M Puype | Full brother to Feeling Grazeful, won twice at 1m. Market check advised. |
1st (7) Travelin' Show | | | | | 3 | Kazushi Kimura | Craig Lewis | Placed once in four starts. Finished 13l behind Clements Ride when sixth of 7 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) in February. Drop in trip will suit. |
2nd (1) Lucky N Smart | | | | | 3 | Umberto Rispoli | Carla Gaines | Half-brother to As Luck Happens, won at 5f. Others make more appeal. |
5th (2) Western Grit | | | | | 3 | Tyler Baze | Ryan Hanson | Placed once in three starts. Beaten 1/2l by Stagger Lee when second of 10 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) in January. Merits respect. |
(4) Datsyuk | | | | | 3 | Mario Gutierrez | Antonio Garcia | Unplaced in both starts. Third of 7 behind French Onion beaten 1 1/2l at 17-2 on his latest outing at Los Alamitos Racecourse over 5f in July last year. Capable of being in the mix. |
(6) Motivating Force | | | | | 3 | Antonio Fresu | Peter Miller | Placed once in four starts. Finished 5l behind Takes Three when fifth of 7 at 2-1fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. May find a couple too strong. |
(8) Mucho Suerte | | | | | 3 | Jeremy Laprida | Steven Miyadi | Half-brother to Hot Socks, won three times at 6f and 1m. Likely to need the experience. |
(9) Ignatowski | | | | | 3 | Kyle Frey | S Knapp | Third of 7 behind Shady Appeal beaten 8l at 13-2 on his racecourse debut at Santa Anita over 5f in June last year. Open to improvement. |
(10) J Dutton | | | | | 3 | Edwin Maldonado | Librado Barocio | Placed once in four starts. Finished 8l behind Known Idea when fifth of 7 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. Likely to be competitive. |
J DUTTON brings a solid level of form to the table and gets the vote to shed the maiden tag at the fifth attempt. Western Grit and Travelin' Show head the remainder.
Race 354: 22:32 Oaklawn Park Race 9 - Bath House Row Stakes - All Oaklawn Park Races
4th (2) Maximus Magic | | | | | 3 | Rocco Bowen | Norman McKnight | Successful twice at 1m. A winner at 15-2 at Oaklawn Park over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Count Dracula by a neck. Holds obvious claims and has to rate a serious player. |
3rd (6) Gould's Gold | | | | | 3 | Cristian Torres | Kenneth McPeek | A winner at 11-1 at Oaklawn Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Wants N Needs. Lots to like and is one of the more likely winners. |
1st (4) Informed Patriot | | | | | 3 | Ricardo Jr Santana | Steven Asmussen | A winner at 7f. Finished 9l behind Muth when fifth of 10 at 66-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m 1f last month. Has faced some stiff tests lately and needs to be taken seriously. |
2nd (3) Imperial Gun | | | | | 3 | Joel Rosario | Steven Asmussen | A winner at 1m. Beaten 13l behind Muth at 60-1 when eighth of 10 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m 1f last month. This is a more realistic target but he still needs to improve. |
(1) Brilliant Man | | | | | 3 | Rafael Bejarano | Chris Hartman | A winner at 1m. Finished 3l behind Maximus Magic when fifth of 10 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Opposable. |
(5) Militant | | | | | 3 | Florent Geroux | B Cox | Won on his latest outing when 17-10fav at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month, beating Daily Grind by 1l. Going the right way and offers strong appeal. |
(7) Willy D'S | | | | | 3 | Gabriel Saez | Greg Compton | A winner at 7f. Finished 4l behind Maximus Magic when sixth of 10 at 6-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Opposable. |
(8) Count Dracula | | | | | 3 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Kenneth McPeek | A winner at 1m. Beaten a neck by Maximus Magic when second of 10 at 7-1 on his latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Has the ability to figure strongly and is a must for a second look. |
MAXIMUS MAGIC is 2-4 at this venue and on the back of a gutsy win last time out, a quickfire double could be on the cards. Militant and Gould's Gold are a couple of others to consider.
Race 355: 22:36 Laurel Park Race 11 - Maiden Special Weight - All Laurel Park Races
1st (12) Sneaking Suspicion | | | | | 4 | Andres Chavez | Susan Cooney | Placed once in 11 starts. Beaten behind Rector at 15-2 when 9th of 16 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m in November last year. Has claims on the pick of his form. |
2nd (2) Come Rain Or Shine | | | | | 3 | Mychel Sanchez | Michael Trombetta | Placed once in three starts. Finished behind Celtic Contender when fourth of 8 at 17-5 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m in February. Needs to prove he wants this far. |
5th (11) Mission North | | | | | 3 | Forest Boyce | Jack Fisher | Yet to place in three starts. Well beaten at 17-2 behind Prado Road when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f (good) in December last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Trombetta. He needs to improve. |
3rd (1) Forceful | | | | | 3 | Sheldon Russell | Brittany Russell | Half-brother to Bottle Rocket Man, won four times between 6f and 1m 1f. Beaten behind Bonus Move at 11-2 when 9th of 16 on his racecourse debut at Gulfstream over 5f (good) last month. Having his first run for a new stable today. The drop in grade is a positive. |
4th (6) Righthererightnow | | | | | 3 | Ben Curtis | Michael Stidham | Placed twice in four starts. Finished 6l behind Caroom when fourth of 8 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 1m (good) in February. Worth a second look. |
(3) Primed To Go | | | | | 3 | Horacio Karamanos | Jorge Duarte | Placed in all three of his starts. Third of 16 behind Hyteck Prince beaten at 13-2 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f (good) in November last year. Can mount a serious challenge. |
(4) Mortal Sin | | | | | 3 | Victor Carrasco | Carl Doran | Placed in four of seven starts. Third of 14 behind St James The Great beaten at 9-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m 1f (good) in November last year. Place claims. |
(5) White Series | | | | | 3 | Raul Mena | Rodolfo Salomon | Unplaced in all five starts. Finished behind Medagooch when sixth of 8 at 20-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Hard to fancy. |
(7) Restrike | | | | | 3 | Jean Aguilar | Owen Garber | Half-brother to Kay Bee Gee, won ten times between 5f and 6f. Finished 19l behind Anna's Got Style when fourth of 8 at 33-1 on his racecourse debut at Penn National over 5f last month. Others look stronger. |
(8) Yangarra | | | | | 4 | Jorge Ruiz | Rodolfo Salomon | Yet to place in three starts. Third of 6 behind Little Skippy beaten at 2-5fav on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 6f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Brittany Russell. In the mix. |
(9) No Foolin Mo | | | | | 3 | Jeiron Barbosa | Hamilton Smith | Placed once in four starts. Third of 7 behind Carolo Rapido beaten at 10-1 on his latest outing at Laurel Park over 1m last month. Not ruled out. |
(10) Dyna Point | | | | | 3 | Weston Hamilton | Corby Caiazzo | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 9l behind Take The Pledge when sixth of 9 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Penn National over 1m last month. Look elsewhere for the winner. |
(13) Pineapple Lane | | | | | 4 | Yomar Ortiz | Daisy Olivo | Well beaten at 55-1 behind Life At Sea when last of 9 on his racecourse debut at Turfway Park over 1m in December last year. Reserve. |

Not the strongest of contests and preference is for PRIMED TO GO, who can build on a trio of promising efforts to shed the maiden tag. Forceful and Righthere Rightnow are feared most.
Race 356: 22:38 San Isidro Race 12 - Allowance ARG 0m 6f 211y - All San Isidro Races
4th (4) Bonita Jazz | | | | | 4 | Agustina Belen Valdez | Alejandro Mazzeo | Difficult to recommend. |
2nd (1) Portal Maya | | | | | 4 | Juan Carlos Noriega | Sergio Acevedo | Needs to raise her game. |
3rd (3) Love My Life | | | | | 4 | Gustavo Emiliano Calvente | Eduardo Siele | Could land a blow. |
1st (5) No Time To Die | | | | | 4 | Martin Antonio La | Alfredo Gaitan | Likely to be thereabouts. |
(2) Alma Alabada | | | | | 4 | Ivan Eduardo Monasterolo | Eduardo Accosano | She has to be of interest. |
(6) Estepa En Flor | | | | | 4 | Francisco Jesus Lavigna | Ariel Lusardi | She has it all to do. |
(7) Candy Fy | | | | | 4 | Rodrigo Daniel Bascunan | Lopez Bragante | Will prove hard to beat. |
(8) Coco Ho | | | | | 4 | William Pereyra | Juan Saldivia | Could get into contention. |

Finished 5l behind Amidst Waves when last of 5 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Saratoga over 5f (good) in August last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Todd Pletcher. Hard to rule out. |
(6) Succulent | | | | | 5 | Trevor McCarthy | David Donk | A winner at 17-5 at Belmont Park over 1m (good) on her latest outing in May last year, beating Berning Honor by 4l. One to consider. |

(8) Dusk | | | | | 3 | Kendrick Carmouche | Horacio De | Won on her latest outing when 19-10fav at Belmont At The Big A over 6f (good) in October last year, beating Tongue Twister. Could make her presence felt. |
(9) Lady Of Thoroton | | | | | 5 | Katie Davis | Chris Englehart | She has won three times from 7f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 10l behind Spooky Lady at 11-2 when 9th of 12 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m (good) in November last year. Unlikely to trouble her rivals. |
(10) Rumint | | | | | 3 | Luis Rivera Jr | Keri Brion | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Finished 10l behind Sweet Brown Sugar when sixth of 7 at 16-1 on her latest outing at Aqueduct over 6f last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. She has a bit to find. |

ASTONESTHROWAWAY struck on her debut at Belmont before being well held in fifth in stakes company at Saratoga last time, but this looks a much more suitable assignment. Succulent and Dusk also merit consideration.
(1) Happy Is | | | | | 5 | Cristobal Herrera | Marcelino Trujillo | Successful twice at 1m. Third of 6 behind Northern Rose beaten 2 1/2l at 10-1 on her latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m last month. Capable of going close. |
(2) Lila At The Beach | | | | | 6 | Luis Aburto Jimenez | Jamey Thomas | She has won four times from 5f to 6f. Finished 1 1/2l behind La Primer Estrella when fifth of 6 at 3-1 on her latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 6f last month. Has to enter calculations. |
(3) Oat Milk Latte | | | | | 5 | Alexander Chavez | Blaine Wright | She has won three times at 1m. Beaten 9l behind Sareeha at 20-1 when last of 8 on her latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m (good) earlier this month. Appears to be up against it. |
(4) Team Concept | | | | | 6 | Leonel Camacho Flores | Sheldon Paldanius | She has won three times at 1m. Beaten 6l behind Sherilinda at 4-1 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m in April last year. More required. |

Well beaten at 15-1 behind Aloha Kitten when last of 5 on her latest outing at Los Alamitos Racecourse over 1m in June last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Steve Knapp. Hard to recommend. |
(7) Rhonda's Cookin | | | | | 5 | Santos Rivera | Eduardo Rich | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 3 1/2l behind Northern Rose when fifth of 6 at 9-2 on her latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m last month. Needs to step forward. |
The drop in grade can see LILA AT THE BEACH bounce back to winning ways in a contest that doesn't appear to be the strongest on paper. Happy Is and Lyinatthebar complete the shortlist.
Race 359: 22:48 Keeneland Race 10 - Allowance - All Keeneland Races
3rd (12) Parola Sicura | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Joe Sharp | A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Beaten 6l behind Voice From Above at 14-5 when seventh of eight on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. More is required. |

Finished 8l behind J Rivers when fourth of 10 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 6f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Larry Smith. Easy enough to look elsewhere. |
4th (4) Empires Princess | | | | | 4 | Corey Lanerie | Dallas Stewart | Placed in three of six starts. Third of 11 behind Port Townsend beaten 2 1/2l at 30-1 on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. Has a bit to find. |

(7) Sweet Dutchess | | | | | 5 | Luis Saez | William Walden | A winner at 1m on good ground, but that win was over two years ago. Finished behind Autism Community when fourth of 11 at 13-10fav on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. One to be interested in. |

(9) Agent | | | | | 4 | Albin Jimenez | Paulo Lobo | A winner at 18-1 at Turfway Park over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Dee Minus by a short head. This is more demanding. |
(10) Integrated Design | | | | | 3 | Gavin Ashton | Sarah Hamilton | A winner at 5f on good ground. Beaten 10l behind Imaboutago at 80-1 when seventh of nine on her latest outing at Fair Grounds over 5f (good) last month. Hard to enthuse over. |
GOLDEN DAGGER had an excellent start to her career last year and she can maintain her unbeaten record on her long awaited return as a four-year-old. Completing the shortlist are the likes of All I Want Is You, Proud Mary and Sweet Dutchess.
Race 360: 22:50 Hawthorne Race 5 - Allowance - All Hawthorne Races
(1) No Tappin Out | | | | | 4 | Julio Felix | William Morey | A winner at 6f. Finished 5l behind Under The Bed when fourth of 12 at 5-1 on her latest outing at Turfway Park over 1m last month. Warrants serious thought. |
(2) Fast N Happy | | | | | 4 | Luis Colon | R Young | A winner at 11-2 at Hawthorne over 5f on her latest outing earlier this month, beating Aldora by 1 1/4l. Hard to rule out. |
(3) Lil Chilly | | | | | 3 | Yoel Navas | Gary Scherer | Successful twice at 6f. Won on her latest outing when 6-5fav at Fair Grounds over 6f last month, beating Kentucky Cajun by 2 3/4l. One to consider. |
(4) First Love | | | | | 4 | Jareth Loveberry | Tanner Tracy | Successful twice at 6f. A winner at 15-2 at Fair Grounds over 6f on her latest outing last month, beating Controlled Temper. Dangerous to dismiss. |

FIRST LOVE got back to winning ways with a two-length victory at Fair Grounds last month and she can follow up. No Tappin Out and Fast N Happy head the dangers.
Race 361: 22:51 Lone Star Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight - All Lone Star Races
(1) Bayou Boy | | | | | 3 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Ronnie Cravens | Placed twice in four starts. Beaten 9l behind Summer Help at 17-4 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Merits consideration. |
(2) Super Ekati | | | | | 3 | Leandro Goncalves | Sr Alan Love, | Half-brother to Akuna Matata, won at 6f. Finished 16l behind Ripster when sixth of 8 at 19-2 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. He is hard to fancy on that evidence. |
(3) Fist Bump Ridge | | | | | 3 | Samuel Burgos | Ronald Kotara | Full brother to Excalibur Ridge, won twice at 7f and 1m. Well beaten at 22-1 behind Mister Monte Carlo when 9th of 10 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f in February. Up against it. |
(4) Rich Mountain | | | | | 3 | Daniel Benavides | Jesse Sauceda | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Beaten 15l behind Tiz Fabulous at 20-1 when last of 9 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) last month. Look elsewhere for the winner. |
(5) Expect Glory | | | | | 3 | Obed Sanchez | Francisco Bravo | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Beaten 10l behind Bubba's Reckless at 6-1 when seventh of 12 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Better can be expected. |
(6) Comes The Sun | | | | | 3 | Isaiah Wiseman | M Davidson | Placed once in three starts. Third of 12 behind Bubba's Reckless beaten 4l at 25-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Unlikely to be far away. |
(7) Turn North | | | | | 3 | Harry Hernandez | Karl Broberg | Placed once in four starts. Finished 5l behind Axis Of Evil when fifth of 9 at 5-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f in February. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Henry Johnson Jr. One of the likelier winners. |
(8) Flying Caesar | | | | | 3 | Stewart Elliott | Mindy Willis | Half-brother to Spice Kingdom, won six times at 7f and 1m. Finished 4l behind Bubba's Reckless when fourth of 12 at 11-1 on his racecourse debut at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f last month. Enters calculations. |
(9) Vino Texas Jess | | | | | 3 | Jose Alvarez | W Calhoun | Half-brother to Seve's Road, won three times between 1m and 1m 4f. The betting could reveal some clues. |
(10) Obvious Conclusion | | | | | 3 | Franklin Ceballos | Sr Alan Love, | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 12l behind Ripster when fourth of 8 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f earlier this month. Up against it. |
A weak contest in which preference is for TURN NORTH, who has shown enough recently to suggest he can land a race of this nature. Comes The Sun and Flying Caesar are feared most.
Race 362: 22:51 Gulfstream Race 10 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
5th (2) X Y Point | | | | | 4 | Sonny Leon | Roderick Rodriguez | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 8l behind Il Miracolo when sixth of 8 at 40-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Dropping in both trip and class gives him a chance. |

3rd (6) Vivir Con Alegria | | | | | 6 | Fernando Jara | A Sanchez | A winner at 1m, but that win was over two years ago. Finished 1 1/4l behind Oscar Eclipse when fourth of 9 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f last month. Back down in grade and should go well. |
2nd (5) Classic Car Wash | | | | | 4 | Emisael Jaramillo | Mark Casse | He has won three times from 7f to 1m. Finished 8l behind Black Belt when fifth of 10 at 15-2 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in February. Others appeal more. |
4th (8) Great Navigator | | | | | 4 | Paco Lopez | Eddie Owens | He has won four times from 4f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 6-5fav at Gulfstream over 6f last month, beating Classic Legacy. That could act as a confidence-booster. |
(3) Lord Miles | | | | | 4 | Leonel Reyes | S Joseph Jr | Successful at 6f and 1m 1f. Beaten 2l by Damon's Mound when second of 10 at 19-2 on his latest outing at Charles Town over 7f in August last year. Big chance in this lesser event. |
(4) Prairie Hawk | | | | | 4 | Edgard Zayas | S Joseph Jr | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 17l behind First Mission when sixth of 10 at 16-1 on his latest outing in the Grade 3 Stonestreet Lexington Stakes at Keeneland over 1m in April last year. Returns after a gelding operation and worth a market check. |

Beaten 2 1/4l by Cajun Brother when second of 6 at 9-4fav on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Daniel Hurtak.

A winner at 17-5 at Gulfstream over 6f on his latest outing in April last year, beating Powerfully Built by 1 1/4l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Carlos David. Merits consideration. |
(10) River Dog | | | | | 6 | Vincent Cheminaud | Kelly Breen | Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. Finished 2 1/4l behind Sweet Cherry Pie when fifth of 9 at 28-1 on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 6f last month. Others preferred. |
VIVIR CON ALEGRIA has been hammering on the door, including when beaten a length in a $125k event over track and trip latest, and this might be his time to shine. There are plenty of others with claims, including Lord Miles and X Y Point.
Race 363: 23:00 Santa Anita Race 5 - Claiming - All Santa Anita Races
(1) Erebus | | | | | 5 | Ricardo Gonzalez | George Lopez | Successful twice at 4f. Third of 9 behind Trusty Rusty beaten 4 1/2l at 12-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f earlier this month. Others preferred. |
(2) Soul Of Midnight | | | | | 4 | Victor Espinoza | Gary Stute | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 6l behind Trusty Rusty when fifth of 9 at 13-10fav on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f earlier this month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Librado Barocio. Best watched. |
(3) Seattle Breakout | | | | | 6 | Geovanni Franco | Karen Headley | Successful twice at 6f. Third of 9 behind The Bullion Bomber beaten 8l at 15-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m last month. May find a couple too strong. |
(4) Tiz Tok | | | | | 4 | Antonio Fresu | Jorge Periban | Successful twice at 1m. Beaten 7l by The Bullion Bomber when second of 9 at 19-5 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m last month. Likely to be in the mix. |
(5) Fifty Cinco | | | | | 4 | Armando Ayuso | M Puype | Successful twice at 1m. A winner at 16-1 at Santa Anita over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Syntactic by 3/4l. One for the shortlist. |
(6) Bravestone | | | | | 6 | Efrain Hernandez | Richard Rosales | Successful twice at 1m. Finished 5l behind Brutto when fifth of 6 at 13-1 on his latest outing at Los Alamitos over 4f last month. Appears to be up against it. |
(7) Aurelian Man | | | | | 6 | Tyler Baze | Alfredo Marquez | Successful at 6f and 1m. A winner at 9-2 at Santa Anita over 1m (good) on his latest outing in September last year, beating Thirty Four Coupe by 1/2l. Capable of a decent showing. |
This appears to be a match between TIZ TOK and Fifty Cinco, with narrow preference for the former. Aurelian Man completes the shortlist.
Race 364: 23:05 San Isidro Race 13 - Allowance ARG 1m 1f 208y - All San Isidro Races
4th (1) Super Fantasy | | | | | 5 | Anibal Jose Cabrera | Agustin Pavlovsky | Others appeal more. |

5th (6) Fantasma | | | | | 5 | Brian Rodrigo Enrique | Pablo Falero | Faces a stiff assignment. |
3rd (2) Caldesio | | | | | 5 | Luciano Matias Recuero | Gustavo Romero | Could land a blow. |
2nd (7) Sonador Spring | | | | | 5 | William Pereyra | Gustavo Romero | Not without a chance. |
1st (5) Menino Do Rio | | | | | 5 | Juan Carlos Noriega | Alfredo Gaitan | The one to beat. |

2nd (1) Neom Beach | | | | | 3 | Joel Rosario | Steven Asmussen | Successful twice at 1m. Won on her latest outing when 9-5fav at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month, beating Promisemeanempire by 3/4l. Would be foolish to dismiss. |
(2) Midshipman's Dance | | | | | 3 | Ramon Vazquez | Wade Rarick | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 4 1/2l behind Lemon Muffin when fifth of 10 at 7-1 on her latest outing in the Grade 3 Honeybee Stakes at Oaklawn Park over 1m in February. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Robertino Diodoro. More to come. |
(3) Blue Squall | | | | | 3 | Cristian Torres | Randy Morse | A winner at 6f. Beaten 5l by Asternia when second of 6 at 17-5 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. One to be interested in. |

(6) Under The Palms | | | | | 3 | Emmanuel Esquivel | Kenneth McPeek | A winner at 18-1 at Oaklawn Park over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Happy Talk by 1l. Only playing for a minor role. |
(8) Candy Aisle | | | | | 3 | Ricardo Jr Santana | Todd Fincher | She has won three times at 6f. Beaten 13l behind Thorpedo Anna at 25-1 when 9th of 10 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 1m last month. Needs to put that effort behind her. |
(9) Sakura Blossom | | | | | 3 | Juan Hernandez | Leonard Powell | She has won three times from 6f to 1m on the all-weather. A winner at 2-1 at Turf Paradise over 1m on her latest outing last month, beating Pink Whitney by a short head. Enters calculations. |
WINNABLE struck on debut in fine style and backed up that performance by filling the runner-up spot in stakes company at Turf Paradise. She can make it two wins out of three. Sakura Blossom and Blue Squall are others to watch out for.
Race 366: 23:18 Golden Gate Fields Race 4 - Maiden Claiming - All Golden Gate Fields Races
(1) Sark | | | | | 4 | Luis Aburto Jimenez | Gloria Haley | Unplaced in all four starts. Third of 7 behind Gotcha Lookin beaten 3l at 18-1 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 6f last month. Could progress for a step up in trip, and he must be considered. |
(2) Enjoy The Moment | | | | | 4 | Catalino Martinez | Jose Bautista | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 4 1/2l behind Adios Nicanor when fourth of 6 at 9-2 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 6f last month. Needs more to figure. |
(3) Dontim | | | | | 4 | Cristobal Herrera | Alberto Ruvalcaba | Placed once in five starts. Beaten 1/2l by Fayruz Tribute when second of 6 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m last month. Entitled to be in the shake-up. |
(4) Fincairn | | | | | 4 | Hugo Herrera | Gloria Haley | Yet to place in five starts. Finished 6l behind Fayruz Tribute when fourth of 6 at 30-1 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m last month. Likely to find a few too strong. |
(5) Drinks At The Club | | | | | 3 | Assael Espinoza | Leonard Powell | Half-brother to Pulpit's Dirty Red, won at 5f. The betting could reveal some clues. |
(6) Mr. Mendelssohn | | | | | 4 | Alexander Chavez | Steve Sherman | Placed once in three starts. Third of 6 behind Fayruz Tribute beaten 1 3/4l at 4-5fav on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m last month. Can mount a serious challenge. |
(7) Wingback | | | | | 4 | William III Antongeorgi | Steve Sherman | Half-brother to African Fighter, won nine times at 1m and 1m 2f. Beaten a neck by Coolwind when second of 4 at 19-10 on his racecourse debut at Golden Gate Fields over 1m earlier this month. Key player. |
(8) Tavernelle | | | | | 4 | Francisco Duran | Blaine Wright | Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 35-1 behind J C's A Legend when last of 9 on his latest outing at Emerald Downs over 6f in June last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Charles Essex. Opposable. |
Having been narrowly denied on his racecourse debut earlier this month, natural improvement can see WINGBACK go one better. Dontim and Mr. Mendelssohn head the list of dangers.
Race 367: 23:19 Lone Star Race 9 - Allowance - All Lone Star Races
(1) Too Much Action | | | | | 5 | Rene Diaz | J Caldwell | Winner of five races from 6f to 7f. Beaten 1 1/4l by Mr Money Bags when second of 5 at 9-10fav on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m last month. A key player. |
(2) Carbon Stryker | | | | | 6 | Jermaine Bridgmohan | George Bryant | Has won ten races from 4f to 6f. Third of 9 behind Zavala beaten 2 1/4l at 15-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f last month. Needs more here. |

Third of 6 behind Josh's Dream beaten 1l at 12-5fav on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f last month. Respected but has something to find, with the winner of that race and Zavala (second) both back in opposition. |
(4) Zavala | | | | | 4 | Floyd Jr Wethey | Jayde Gelner | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. Beaten 1/2l by Josh's Dream when second of 6 at 13-5 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f last month. A solid option. |
(5) Josh's Dream | | | | | 5 | Iram Diego | Sr Alan Love, | He has won three times from 5f to 6f. A winner at 13-2 at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Zavala by 1/2l. Another bold showing is likely. |
(6) Algebra | | | | | 7 | Stewart Elliott | J Caldwell | Has won ten races from 6f to 1m. Finished 7l behind Josh's Dream when last of 6 at 4-1 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f last month. Has something to find on a literal reading of that run. |
(7) Iberian Runner | | | | | 5 | Leandro Goncalves | Cesar Govea | He has won three times from 6f to 1m. Third of 7 behind Singapore Flash beaten 2 1/2l at 9-2 on his latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m 1f (good) last month. A place might be his best chance. |
(8) Mister Monte Carlo | | | | | 3 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Jaylan Clary | Successful twice at 6f. Won on his latest outing when 14-5fav at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f last month, beating Ozzies Wings Y G by 1 1/4l. On for the hat-trick but this is easily his stiffest test for a while. |
JOSH'S DREAM and Zavala have each won a race from their two previous encounters, but the former looks to still hold a bit of scope and shades preference having comfortably reeled in his rival last time out. Too Much Action is the pick of the rest.
Race 368: 23:20 Hawthorne Race 6 - Claiming - All Hawthorne Races
(1) Modazzle | | | | | 5 | Eduardo Gallardo | James Watkins | Successful at 5f and 6f. Finished 7l behind Robust when fourth of 7 at 11-1 on his latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f last month. Could get into contention. |

WEST ISLAND bounced back to form when filling the runner-up berth on his first start at this track last time and he can go one better. Soviet Standard and Modazzle can give him the most to think about.
Race 369: 23:23 Gulfstream Race 11 - Maiden Claiming - All Gulfstream Races
2nd (4) Shakrevenge | | | | | 3 | Jesus Rios | Jose D Angelo | Half-sister to Wish Boutique, won twice at 6f and 1m. Well beaten at 35-1 behind Artemis Sound when last of 8 on her racecourse debut at Gulfstream over 5f last month. She is opposable on that evidence. |
4th (6) Butterfly Queen | | | | | 3 | Paco Lopez | Kelly Breen | Placed once in seven starts. Third of 6 behind House Of Melody beaten 1 3/4l at 16-5 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) last month. Others preferred. |
3rd (3) Little Miss Munny | | | | | 3 | Joe Bravo | J Sisterson | Placed twice in six starts. Finished 6l behind Sizzle when fourth of 6 at 4-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Brian Lynch. Might find a few too strong. |

Beaten a neck by Floribunda when second of 11 at 19-2 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Rohan Crichton. Holds every chance. |

Beaten 1 1/2l by House Of Melody when second of 6 at 17-10fav on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 7f (good) last month. She is wearing blinkers for the first time. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Joseph Orseno. Another bold bid looks assured. |
(10) Cool Tricks | | | | | 3 | Jon Rivera | Rohan Crichton | Placed twice in six starts. Finished 2 1/4l behind Floribunda when fourth of 11 at 12-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) last month. Needs to raise her game. |

(12) Vanishing Wish | | | | | 3 | Leonel Reyes | Ruben Sierra | Unplaced in both starts. Finished 7l behind Fluid when fifth of 8 at 18-1 on her latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m (good) last month. Will do well to win this. |
Having been narrowly denied on her latest outing, CORRIN PEAK can make amends and go one better, possibly at the main expense of Bonmati and Citrus Belle.

(3) Drive For Show | | | | | 3 | Mario Gutierrez | Antonio Garcia | Unplaced in all six starts. Finished 15l behind Known Idea when sixth of 7 at 55-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f last month. More needed. |

Finished 14l behind Duty First when sixth of 8 at 17-2 on his latest outing at Los Alamitos Racecourse over 6f in September last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with John Sadler. One to oppose. |
(5) Charley Pride | | | | | 4 | Tyler Baze | Philip D Amato | Half-brother to Tom Seaver, won twice at 6f. Interesting newcomer. |
(6) Finners Goldnsense | | | | | 3 | Umberto Rispoli | Peter Miller | Dam a lightly raced maiden. Others make more appeal. |
(7) Ghostly Act | | | | | 4 | Kyle Frey | Debbie Winick | Placed in eight of 13 starts. Third of 6 behind Forty Niner Gold beaten 2l at 9-4 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 6f (good) last month. Consistent performer. |

(9) Unusual Measure | | | | | 5 | Jose Valdivia Jr | Edward Freeman | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 10l behind Mucho Machismo at 16-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m in September '22. He is wearing blinkers for the first time. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Steve Sherman. Has a bit to prove. |
(10) Dapitan Star | | | | | 3 | Jose Rodriguez | J Bonde | Dam won 13 times at 1m and 1m 1f. Likely to prove better over further. |
ANTIBES (second) finished ahead of Ghostly Act (third) over C&D last month and he comes into this with a less-exposed profile so is expected to confirm that effort and go one better. Newcomer Charley Pride commands plenty of respect.
Race 372: 23:47 Lone Star Race 10 - Claiming - All Lone Star Races
(1) Riobella | | | | | 4 | Harry Hernandez | Karl Broberg | Successful at 6f and 1m on the all-weather. Beaten 1 1/4l when second of 7 at 15/2 but disqualified and placed fifth behind Basket Case on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m 1f (good) last month. Dangerous to ignore and can go close if she stays out of trouble. |
(2) Hailey's Jewel | | | | | 4 | Rodolfo Guerra | Joaquin Garza | Successful twice at 7f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 20l behind Dixie Carrousel when last of 6 at 7-1 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f in January. This demands more of her. |
(3) Night Orb | | | | | 4 | Ernesto Valdez Jiminez | Ronnie Cravens | Successful twice at 5f on firm and good ground. Finished 4l behind Go Betty Jo when fourth of 11 at 6-1 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 5f (good) earlier this month. Reliable and is one to consider. |
(4) Miz Cali | | | | | 4 | David Cabrera | Miguel Silva | Successful twice at 1m on good ground. Finished 4 1/2l behind San Mateo Kat when fifth of 8 at 6-5fav on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) earlier this month. Needs a big step forward from that run. |

(6) Claudette Heir | | | | | 5 | Elvin Gonzalez | Robert Young | Successful at 5f and 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 2l behind Basket Case when fourth of 7 at 6-5fav on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m 1f (good) last month. Has something to find with Riobella based on a literal reading of that effort and is probably best just watched. |
(7) Hourglass Figure | | | | | 6 | Jose Alvarez | Scott Young | Successful at 7f and 1m on good ground. Finished 4l behind San Mateo Kat when fourth of 8 at 20-1 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) earlier this month. Opposable. |
(8) The Rage Of Art | | | | | 4 | Iram Diego | Cesar Govea | Successful at 5f and 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 9l behind San Mateo Kat at 45-1 when seventh of 8 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) earlier this month. Makes limited appeal. |
(9) Fayette Blue | | | | | 6 | Floyd Jr Wethey | Lee Rossi | Successful twice at 7f on good ground. Finished 4l behind Super Cindy when fourth of 7 at 14-5 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) in February. Will need everything to go her way. |
(10) Cashmere Dancer | | | | | 5 | Stewart Elliott | Mindy Willis | Successful at 5f and 1m on firm and good ground. Beaten 1l by San Mateo Kat when second of 8 at 13-2 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) earlier this month. Back to form that day and needs to be taken seriously. |
(11) Marquette Warrior | | | | | 3 | Elvin Gonzalez | H Ashford Jr | Successful at 7f and 1m on good ground. Beaten 9l behind San Mateo Kat at 9-2 when last of 8 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 1m (good) earlier this month. Reserve. |
(12) Go Go Go | | | | | 5 | Gerber Pivaral | Sarah Davidson | Successful at 5f and 6f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 4l behind Shining Example when sixth of 10 at 15-2 on her latest outing at Sam Houston Race Park over 6f last month. Reserve. |

Claudette Heir and Cashmere Dancer are both strong contenders based on peak efforts, but NIGHT ORB has held her own in deeper races of late and could be worth chancing for a bit of value in a wide-open race.
Race 373: 23:48 Golden Gate Fields Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Golden Gate Fields Races
(1) Melanie's Tiger | | | | | 3 | Assael Espinoza | Manuel Badilla | Successful twice at 6f. Finished 3/4l behind Unbridled Vision when fourth of 6 at 19-10 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 5f in February. Merits serious consideration. |
(2) Valiant Son | | | | | 3 | Alexander Chavez | Blaine Wright | A winner at 12-5 at Golden Gate Fields over 6f on his latest outing last month, beating Delian League by 5l. This is more demanding. |
(3) Drum Bunny | | | | | 3 | Santos Rivera | Samuel Calvario | A winner at 5f. Finished 10l behind Lord Prancealot when fifth of 6 at 15-1 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 6f last month. Likely to find a few couple too strong. |

Although MELANIE'S TIGER came up short in his hat-trick bid last time out, he is proven at this level and can bounce back here. Halo Rando and Clever Clover are feared most.

(5) Just Because | | | | | 4 | Orlando Mojica | Veronica Litfin | A winner at 6f. Finished 6l behind Point At You when fifth of 8 at 17-4 on his latest outing at Fair Grounds over 6f (good) last month. Worth a second look. |
(6) Masquerade Ball | | | | | 5 | Israel Hernandez | Rigo Rosas | A winner at 6f. Well beaten at 40-1 behind Mcvicker when last of 6 on his latest outing at Hawthorne over 5f earlier this month. Likely to find a few too strong. |
(7) Armavir | | | | | 4 | Olaf Hernandez | Manny Perez | A winner at 1m. Beaten 11l behind Pike Place at 25-1 when last of 7 on his latest outing at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1m (good) in September last year. The drop in grade is a positive. |

HAWAIIAN HIDE AWAY was a comfortable victor of a C&D maiden last time out and any further improvement can see him repeat the dose. Izeondec and Armavir are others to consider.

(1) Highland Falls | | | | | 4 | Florent Geroux | B Cox | He has won three times at 1m. Finished 2 3/4l behind Newgate when fourth of 7 at 18-5 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m 2f last month. Could run into the money. |

(4) Octane | | | | | 5 | J R Leparoux | Juan Alvarado | Has won eight races from 5f to 1m. A winner at 11-2 in the Grade 3 Razorback Handicap at Oaklawn Park over 1m on his latest outing in February, beating Magic Tap by 3/4l. Leading contender. |

(7) Guntown | | | | | 5 | Ramon Vazquez | Michael Maker | He has won four times at 1m. Third of 6 behind Olympic Dreams beaten 1l at 13-2 on his latest outing at Aqueduct over 1m 1f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Fernando Abreu. This is more demanding. |

(10) Skippylongstocking | | | | | 5 | Jose Ortiz | S Joseph Jr | Winner of seven races from 1m to 1m 1f. Won on his latest outing when 7-10fav at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m last month, beating Sherlock's Jewel by 2 1/2l. More is needed. |

Third of 10 behind Black Belt beaten 4 1/2l at 2-1fav on his latest outing at Gulfstream over 1m in February. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Brittany Russell. It's best to look elsewhere. |
RED ROUTE ONE recorded a two-length victory at this level at Fair Grounds last month and a repeat of that form could be good enough. Octane and Highland Falls head the dangers.

Race 377: 00:00 +1d Charles Town Race 1 - Maiden Claiming - All Charles Town Races
(1) Swipe That Candy | | | | | 3 | Gustavo Larrosa | Ronald Sigler | Placed twice in seven starts. Finished 6l behind Dream Street Rose when fifth of nine at 13-5 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f earlier this month. Could be in the mix. |
(2) Vieste | | | | | 4 | Orlando Bocachica | Timothy Shanley | Unplaced in all 17 starts. Well beaten at 60-1 behind Juba's Punch when last of seven on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Edwin Tobin. Has it all to do. |
(3) Wooden Ships | | | | | 4 | Andres Chavez | Jeff Runco | Placed once in four starts. Finished 10l behind Another Fine Juba when fourth of six at 5-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Must enter calculations. |

(5) Leslie's Layla | | | | | 3 | Christian Hiraldo | Michael Jones | Unplaced in all three starts. Finished 14l behind Dream Street Rose when sixth of nine at 40-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f earlier this month. A minor role awaits. |
(6) Cold Cash | | | | | 4 | J Acosta | Crystal Pickett | Yet to place in seven starts. Beaten 18l behind Dream Street Rose at 55-1 when seventh of nine on her latest outing at Charles Town over 6f earlier this month. Hard to fancy. |
(7) Lizzy Lou | | | | | 4 | Javier Rivera | Michael Jones | Placed once in two starts. Third of seven behind Theta beaten 7l on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f earlier this month. Others make more appeal. |
OWE YOU ONE has been knocking on the door of late and this seems like a good opportunity to get off the mark. Her chief threats might be Swipe That Candy and Wooden Ships.

(3) Mixto | | | | | 4 | Antonio Fresu | Doug O'Neill | A winner at 1m. Finished 3 1/2l behind Newgate when fifth of 7 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m 2f last month. Respected. |
(4) Mystification | | | | | 4 | Edwin Maldonado | Doug O'Neill | A winner at 1m. Third of 12 behind Aligato beaten 3/4l at 14-1 on his latest outing at Santa Anita over 1m (good) earlier this month. Might find a couple too strong. |
(5) Mr Fisk | | | | | 4 | Kazushi Kimura | Bob Baffert | He has won three times from 1m to 1m 1f. Finished 5l behind Newgrange when fifth of 7 at 13-5 on his latest outing in the Grade 2 San Pasqual Stakes at Santa Anita over 1m 1f in January. Key player. |
A chance is taken on JUDGE MILLER, who took his career record to 2-3 when winning here in February. This is undeniably tougher, but Mark Glatt's colt might be up to the task. Proven Graded performers Mixto and Mr Fisk are feared most.

(1) Arr Piratetreasure | | | | | 3 | Ramsey Zimmerman | Danele Durham | Well beaten at 45-1 behind Singsational when fifth of 9 on her racecourse debut at Remington Park over 1m in October last year. Will need to improve. |
(2) Sparkly | | | | | 3 | Jon Court | William Fires | Unplaced in both starts. Well beaten at 8-1 behind Runninthestreets when 11th of 12 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f last month. Others appeal more. |
(3) Linnie Mae | | | | | 3 | Travis Wales | Ernie Witt | Placed once in two starts. Well beaten at 13-2 behind Haulin Ice when 10th of 12 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f in February. Player based on her debut effort. |

(11) This Damsel Mayfly | | | | | 4 | Gabriel Saez | Robert Cline | Placed once in four starts. Beaten by St. Olaf Rose when second of 10 at 11-2 on her latest outing at Oaklawn Park over 6f (good) last month. This is tougher. |

Race 382: 00:32 +1d Charles Town Race 2 - Claiming - All Charles Town Races
(1) Oppo Taco | | | | | 4 | Christian Hiraldo | David Walters | A winner at 4f. Third of seven behind Juba's Punch beaten 9l at 13-2 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Capable of being in the shake-up. |
(2) Essential Magic | | | | | 4 | Marshall Mendez | Kevin Joy | A winner at 4f. Beaten 8l by Juba's Punch when second of seven at 16-5 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. Can go one better. |
(3) Bet Your Boots | | | | | 5 | Maximo Chilo | Janice Groves | A winner at 11-2 at Charles Town over 4f on her latest outing in February, beating Palacio by 1 1/4l. Another big run can be expected. |

(7) Officer Cally | | | | | 5 | Antonio Lopez | Michael Atkins | A winner at 4f, but that win was over two years ago. Finished 9l behind Juba's Punch when fourth of seven at 12-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f last month. More is required. |
(8) Palacio | | | | | 4 | Anthony Mawing | Edwin Tobin | A winner at 4f. Finished 1 3/4l behind Livana when sixth of seven at 22-1 on her latest outing at Charles Town over 4f earlier this month. Difficult to recommend. |
ESSENTIAL MAGIC had Oppo Taco (third) behind when runner-up over C&D last time out and she is taken to go one better now. Bet Your Boots is entitled to be thereabouts as well.

This appears to revolve around the unbeaten MEDORO, who can continue her upward trajectory having landed a couple of good events recently. Lamporghini and Sakura Blossom head the list of dangers.
Race 384: 00:48 +1d Golden Gate Fields Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming - All Golden Gate Fields Races
(1) Supermazel | | | | | 6 | Epifanio Garcia | Jesus Ramos | Winner of five races at 1m. Finished 5l behind Kennebec when fifth of 6 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m in January. Can make his presence felt. |

(7) Union Express | | | | | 4 | William III Antongeorgi | Steve Sherman | A winner at 1m. Third of 6 behind Union Wave beaten 2l at 13-2 on his latest outing at Golden Gate Fields over 1m last month. Remains open to improvement and cannot be discounted. |
UNION EXPRESS represents an in-form stable and, on the back of an admirable third over a mile here last month, he gets the vote to go two places better. Dulas and Anitanewmercedes can also go well.
