Wednesday 17th of October...

After a few unlucky days it was just a matter of time till my selections would finally go in. Both selections have won pretty well today, even though Arctic Lynx won in a photo. Great profit for the day anyway and I hope I can continue this little run... 


16.50 Nottingham: Aubrietia @ 5/1 Bet365 - 3pts win

Aubrietia had a massive year so far winning four races and looks still on the upward. She was desperately unlucky in a very messy race at Leicester last week. She had an excellent position on the inside rail actually and looked going the strongest for a long way but from 2f out she has been heavily hampered. She still made headway after a first slight bump but a second one cost her every chance when she was kind of in a sandwich. She still managed to finish sixth what I'd consider a fantastic performance overall and which suggests that she is still on a winnable mark. She drops in trip back to 5f tomorrow, a trip she's two from two and she's back at Nottingham, a track she won at on her sole start. She's also down in class. That all makes her the horse they all have to beat in my mind despite being 9lb above the last winning mark.


17.10 Lingfield: Kinglami @ 6/1 Bet365 - 4pts win

After breaking his maiden tag at Kempton in August he's gone close in all his last starts while always travelling well but failing narrowly either. I thought the most eye-catching and interesting performance was the most recent one, when he stepped up to 1m for the first time. He really travelled well that day at Kempton but had a long way through the whole field to go in the home straight from the rear of the field and that was a mission impossible to catch the eventual winner who made all from the front. He finished in impressive fashion though, staying on extremely well and it confirmed that he has no problems to stay the trip anyway. He dropped 1lb for this effort surprisingly and really gets a chance by the handicapper I think while staying over over one mile but switching to Lingfield's All-Weather track for the first time which I feel could suit his running style way better. He's still lightly raced and can improve further over this trip and should have a cracking chance of winning here in this race as the bottom weight.
