Wendesday the 20th of March...

Finally a winner today! Sewn Up won nicely in the end and was simply too good for the rest. Follow The Flag was bitterly disappointing though. Anyway, got to get a winner on board again, so the bad run is broken and let's hope things work out better from now as recent weeks were unbelievable stuff with all the horses going close or having no in-running-luck whatsoever. 


20.15 Kempton: Isis Blue @ 12/1 VC - 1pt win

Looks a hot race and Isis Blue looks not the most exciting animal in this field but there is loads to like about him on handicap debut. I thought he ran a huge race on his second career start over 6f, a distance probably a bit too sharp, in a pretty decent maiden. He finished really well that day suggesting there is a bit of talent in him. He ended the year with an effort I'd happily ignore as he wasn't ridden to finish the race in the best possible fashion. I thought he'd be very interesting if tackling Handicapps over 7-9f and with a pretty fair looking opening mark I think he could run a huge race tomorrow. He's been gelded over the winter and I expect him to be race fit after his break as Andrea Atzeni is an eye-catching jockey booking, known as a "job jockey". Trainer Millman doesn't use jockeys outside his family too often and if he does it's often an important sign, so he has also a 18% strike rate with Atzeni. Both had a 25/1 winner at Lingfield two days ago btw.. So I wouldn't be surprised if Isis Blue would run a huge race of bottom weight here tomorrow.
