Wednesday 15th of May...

14.45 York: Hollowina @ 20/1 Boylesports - 1pt win

Quite can't believe this price. This filly rates a bigger chance in my mind. She had only two starts last year, winning on debut a maiden, couldn't confirm the promise in a Listed race at Newmarket after that then though when she was badly outpaced over 1m. She made her seasonal reappearance last week at Chester, stepping up in trip to 11f. She travelled really well in the middle of the field on this inside, but got stuck in traffic when the race unfolded. When turning for home she was simply locked on the rails, couldn't get out there and had to wait what happens. While the eventual winner, who was travelling behind her at this point, took the brave route on the inside in the home straight, Hollowina was manoeuvred towards the centre of the track, where she ran into trouble, getting bumped in a rough battle for position. She couldn't really find her balance back and wasn't really asked for an effort in the end. She should come on allot for this race I think and as a lightly raced filly there should be improvement left in her. She's lovely bred, and the 10f trip looks alright, even though further is also a possibility later on. The expected fast ground should be perfectly fine too, so I feel she has a better chance than the big price might suggest here.
