Selections: Saturday 2nd May 2014

15.30 Goodwood: Elusivity @ 10/3 William Hill - 4pts win

Really unlucky second at Epsom recently. Travelled liek a dream in rear, but then had nowhere to go over 2f out, switched inside and forced a gap eventually, while never being really touched, just bit asked very late, yet made extremely impressive headway to finish 2nd in the end. One had to be impressed with this performance. He is a very infrequent winner but clearly down to a very low mark now, and seems poised on this recent performance. Questions marks about track and ground are there, but neglectable as there speaks to much for him. 


14.05 Newmarket: Burano @ 12/1 Bet365 - 2pts win

Burano didn't get any run whatsoever in the Spring Cup at Newbury recently. He travelled extremely well for a long time, better than most, looked to have loads to give 2f out but then got simply stuck in traffic with a big bunch of horses in front of his nose with nowhere to go. He wasn't beaten up to finish sixth or fifth but rather was eased down as soon as his jockey realized there is another day to live for. Burano is down to a decent mark, he ran well of bigger, against top class opposition in hot races, and while he has never won at Newmarket nor over this trip, he showed that he can handle the track in past performances, and ran extremely well over further as well over shorter throughout his career. Of his current mark he is in with a big shout if he gets a clear run, I feel.
