16.20 Sandown: Shavansky @ 12/1 Ladbrokes - 2pt win
Shavansky doesn't get any younger but I really liked his most recent performance at Haydock when he travelled strongly on the inside rail, on the bridle until 2f out, but found himself short of room with no way to get out of a pocket. He had to sit and suffer. He got a bit of room over 1f out and ran on well under a light hands and heels ride, suggesting he's in fine form and might have a really big performance in him. He looks to have conditions to suit tomorrow with the step up in trip back to 10f in his favour, nice ground is perfectly fine too and he looks capable of his current mark. Atzeni booked for the ride is another plus.
19.15 Chepstow: Emiratesdotcom @ 16/1 VC - 1pt win
Looks a huge price for a horse that made a big impression at this track a couple of days ago. Emiratesdotcom had a horror run over 6f, missing slightly the break and getting outpaced early on, but then appearing strong travelling on the inside rail, just getting no run whatsoever. He tried to quicken several times when it looked for a short moment there could be a bit of room but he never found a way through until 1f out when finally a gap was there and he finished strongly in 3rd eventually. Judged on this performance he looks definitely on a dangerous mark as the handicapper left the mark unchanged and he's a couple of pounds below his last winning mark anyway. He steps up to 7f though, what is a slight worry, as he probably prefers shorter probably, but he won over this trip before and the ground should be suitable, so I think it's well worth a try at this big price.
