We talked about Tempus Temporis yesterday already. He was a value selection on Sundays opening Chelmsford card. Since winners don't come by easy, one has to celebrate if there is something to celebrate. So enjoy the replay of the race and see the impressive performance of this promising Godolphin prospect with your own eyes.
No luck yesterday at Southwell. My two selections did give me a run for the money - to a certain extend at least - but ultimately it is about getting the head over the line first. First selection Ametrine travelled really nicely on the outside for a long time. She clearly takes well to the surface. However she got very tired inside the final two furlongs and was effectively pulled up. I wouldn't quite give up on her yet. With this run under her belt, she may strip fitter and go really well the next time. However the way she almost refused to finish her race yesterday, is alarming and could also mean that she has had enough of the game. Seychelloise on the other hand finished well - however found one rival too good for her. I think she did way too much early on from her draw, was pushed forward and travelled throughout wide. One could also say she simply ran to her level of form, which is a mid-sixties filly, lightly framed with no scope.
Not much going on today. Some okay All-Weather racing at Lingfield and Kempton. The usual mid-week stuff. Mostly low-grade. Which is not bad if you like it. I do like it, particularly Kempton. Fancy a couple on the card, but will restrict myself to one bet only.
6.10 Kempton: Class 5 Handicap - 7f - Picks Pinta is a rather consistent individual who looked a bit in the grip of the handicapper recently. Down to 72 now, he is however on a mark he is well up to I feel. His best performances came when he was right up with the pace, which was not the case in most of his last starts. So it is interesting to see him fitted with blinkers for the first time today. They may sharpen him up and I would imagine that reverting to positive tactics will see him go really close, and possible achieving a career highest.
Picks Pinta @ 16/1 William Hill
