Not to be..

A poor show by both horses yesterday - neither were at the races and Ladies Knight is clearly finding his own ideas and way of coming out of the stalls! He may be of slight interest in the same grade back at Wolverhampton.

Onto todays racing and the last race Wolverhampton is where the concentration lies. There looks to be lots of horses who want to be up there with the pace - but non more so than Smile For Us. He has twice gone close in this grade - attempting to make all, finishing 2nd on both occasions. Those two good runs were split by another creditable effort against older horses - where he was taken on for the lead but showed guts to keep on for 6th. He possibly went to quick on his latest outing and if able to set softer fractions here has a leading chance - even from his wide draw.

The other big possible for the race is Trombone Tom who holds a few of these on form - and his inside draw of 3 could significant. Should be able to lie close to the pace and if Smile For Us goes to quick - he would be the one most likely to pounce.

The favourite Danetime Lord seems a little quirky - flashing his tail like a windmill on his last run. He also as pace - but clearly doesn't want an aggressive ride at the moment and he may be forced to battle and for these reasons - he's readily passed over. He might be better when gelded.

Suggested bet is:

6.00 Wolverhampton

1.5pt E/W Trombone Tom
1.5pt E/W Smile For Us
1/4pt Reverse Exacta


Current Profit/Loss - £5.50
