Thursday the 16th of May...

14.00 Salisbury: Contradict @ 16/1 Coral - 2pts win

Thought this filly ran a huge race lto on handicap debut and seasonal reappearance. She travelled nicely in rear, switched to the inside over 3f out proved fatal though as she didn't get a clear run there and was also bumped on a few occasions. Despite all the trouble she finished a nice 3rd eventually and no doubt she would have gone much closer with clearer run. She is nicely bred by top class US miler and out of a multiple Group winning mare. She's overpriced here I think.


14.45 York: Indian Chief @ 3/1 Betfred - 4pts win

Indian Chief cost a good deal of money as a yearling and confirmed the promise with a decent run on his debut last year, finishing 2nd. One month ago he made his seasonal reappearance, which was only his second start then. It was a poor maiden race and the form isn't worth much but the way he won it was encouraging. The race wasn't run really fast and he travelled well off the pace, but he made ground turning for home and quickened nicely at the 2f marker to win easily hands and heels ridden. He's open to loads of improvement and as I don't really like the rest in this field I think he'll be hard to beat.
