15.15 Haydock: Teetotal @ 11/2 Bet365 - 2pts win
Teetotal looks still capable of improvement and ran two fine races within the last four weeks. He travelled well at Doncaster but didn't get the clearest of runs there over 1f out, had to switch in the closing stages and quicken again, something he wasn't really capable off as he's not a Group horse, yet he finished a good 3rd eventually. I was really impressed with the most recent performance at Pontefract though, a track that usually doesn't advantages hold-up runners. So was Teetotal in a bad position when the field turned home as he was at the back of the field. He found some trouble over 1f out again, his jockey made quite a dramatic manoeuvre in the closing stages to switch him to the outside and it was impressive to see how quickly Teetotal got balanced again and finished like a train eventually. Think back over 6f and as the bottom weight he has a good chance to go really close in this small field.
17.30 Haydock: Silvas Romana @ 12/1 Bet365 - 2pts win
Travelled really well in rear of the field the last time but was then just stuck in traffic with bunch of horses in front of the nose. She tried desperately to find a gap and it looked as if she would have done so she would have probably gone very close that day, but it wasn't to be and she was eased down eventually. Her mark drops 2lb for this, she can race now off a mark of 4lb below her last winning mark, and has the good assistance of an apprentice who claims 3lb. She is more home on slower ground obviously, but got placed on good to firm and ran - as mentioned - well lto on fast ground as well, so it might no be the biggest issue. Think she is dangerously well handicapped tomorrow.
