Saturday Stopwatch
The first race I was drawn towards was the Lockinge
31312-3 Ribchester 144
121285- Galileo Gold 140
0/36913- Lightning Spear 145
521-211 Somehow 144
I would like to be very confident this is where the winner will emerge.
I will be bold here and say I think Somehow is not good enough, on the way I am rating these today with ground conditions I think he will be toiling against horses better suited by a softer surface.
31312-3 Ribchester 144
121285- Galileo Gold 140
0/36913- Lightning Spear 145
Lightning Spear is a really difficult horse for me here, I think this horse could run a blinder today, but I just cannot select him, 6 year olds have won the race, but they need to be exceptional, Lightning Spear is not exceptional. Also I would have to bet this horse to do something he has never done, WIN ON A SOFTER SURFACE. I can see Lightning Spear having a good go today, and I would be really worried if he is the last challenger, or the horse to pass to win the race, but he has to be eliminated today for win purposes
31312-3 Ribchester 144
121285- Galileo Gold 140
Ribchester will be tough to beat if he is spot on for this today, and he would warrant being a short priced favourite, my hope is he is just not quite as good on softer ground. My selection today is Galileo Gold. He will go well through this ground, and if he is tuned up and ready he must be the one to beat here with the proven ground form, backed up with solid raceform. If for any reason he goes for a walk in the market, then Ribchester would be my pick
Taamol 14.40 Newmarket is my bet of the day.
