Thursday the 27th of June...

That's a bit of a disappointing day really. Mabait just had no chance from his position in a slowly ran race, travelling keen without cover in rear on the outside. Definitely well worth another chance and would stick my neck out that he's poised to win soon. Much in contrast to Take A Note who was simply not good enough today and looked very, very ordinary.


16.00 Newcastle: Korngold @ 16/1 Bet365 - 1pt win

This is an interesting horse even though a quite frustrating sort too. I thought his seasonal reappearance at Beverly recently was one to take note of as Korngold travelled actually quite well in rear but was simply in a position turning for home where he had no chance to win from. He didn't really get the run of the race in the closing stages either and was eased down. Think he could have finished closer if fully ridden out than he did eventually anyway. So he should strip fitter with this run under his belt now, as well as he's down to a low mark, 5lb below his last winning mark, and he has a pretty decent 7lb claimer booked for the ride for a trainer who did well at Newcastle in the last couple of month. I'm slightly worried about the fast ground and the trip which could be a bit on the short side for Korngold, yet it's well worth a chance at this price for mentioned reasons.



20.50 Hamilton: Findog @ 9/1 William Hill @ 9/1 - 2pts win

Two impressive performances in a row for this 3yo gelding. He stayed on very well over too short 5f at Musselburgh when having a bit of in-running trouble and he was seriously unlucky in his most recent outing at Hamilton when he travelled like a dream in a 6f Handicap, still on the bridle approaching the 2f marker, but got then into real trouble. He tried to force his way through horses in the closing stages, but he got bumped and short of room and lost every chance to finish in a better position. With the the 4th having won in the meantime I would think this is decent form, and as Findog could be easily a couple of pounds higher in the mark now if he would have get a clear run lto, I think he is well weighted in this race being able to go into this race as a featherweight.
