Saturday the 18th of May...

16.05 Newmarket: Hoarding @ 6/1 Betfred - 2pts win

This looks an open race and I feel Hoarding is a shade to big in the betting market considering his good record here at Newmarket and his eye-catching performance in a Listed race a fortnight ago. That race was won by Windhoek in good style, who had the run of the race from the front though, setting a slow pace. Hoarding travelled in rear and got under pressure from 3f out, had to be shaken up to keep in touch with the rest of the field. He really battled hard though and showed a lovely attitude running on stoutly in the closing stages to finish 3rd eventually. That suggest the 10f trip is within his range, even though his pedigree doesn't really point into that direction, but it's worth another chance here today. He tried it once before, at Epsom in a trail, but got badly hampered at a crucial stage of the race when trying to make up some ground turning for home.
