Wokingham Working Out Well
It may seem I'm stating the obvious when suggesting the Wokingham is decent form - it's a Royal Ascot handicap after all. However even by it's own standards this year's race is working out extremely well.
Those involved have run 26 times since recording 6 wins, and 4 places - a decent return given the competitive nature of the races these sprinters contest.
With so many runners putting in monster performances in the race, especially those who raced on the near side or those drawn low who lost ground switching to the far side, the formline looks sure to throw up more winners and will be key in studying for the remaining big sprint handicaps of 2009.

Air Maze looked well treated and took the 5.10 at Bath after a lay-off. More success looks certain.
Prescription travelled well in the 7.50 at Doncaster before blowing up late on. This was her first start for some time and she was weak in the betting beforehand. She looked as though she needed the run and being obviously well treated looks sure to fare better in the future.
In the 8.25, Whirlijig showed enough ability to suggest he can be competitive in handicaps in the near future.
Chris's Jem was travelling well before she repeatedly denied a clear run in the 2.45 at Sandown - this run is best ignored.

Abu Dhabi International Stakes - Ascot 25th July
Unsurprisingly the Abu Dhabi International, formally the Tote/Totesport International Handicap, has been won by some decent in recent years. Five of the last ten winners won of a mark in the 100's and nine had either been contesting, or went on to contest Group races. It will be a simialr story for the winner of this year's renewal.
Of big three 7f handicaps this season (Victoria Cup, Buckingham Palace Stakes, Bunbury Cup) two have been a disappoinment. The Victoria Cup was of a relatively poor standard and the Bunbury Cup was ran at a farcical pace, as the result the form of both races is questionable - although seeing as the winners of both races (Swift Gift and Plum Pudding) are not taking their chance here that knowledge isn't as useful as it might have been.
Unlike the Bunbury Cup, where Plum Pudding was gifted an uncontested lead, a study of the projected pace suggests a decent gallop.

With only 22 lining up and the stalls positioned in the centre it's probable the field will come down the middle in one group, negating any draw bias. This is good news for those drawn high as they may be disadvantaged if the field were to split.
With five prominent races, Signor Peltro, Crackdown, Dianes Choice, Taqdeyr and Thebes drawn in stalls 5 to 10 those drawn would enjoy a nice lead. There is just one prominent racer drawn high - Roaring Forte is stall 17. Horatio Carter in the 19 box likes to run up with the pace but will only track whatever pace is in front, he will not be forcing. We don't know a great deal about Captain Brilliance (15), he has been held up in the past but was fairly prominent when 2nd in the Bunbury, that maneuver may just have been Johnny Murtagh adapting to the slow pace.
Wherever they go the gallop is certain to be strong and those held up off the pace look sure to benefit.
One that fits that bill is the Michael Bell trained Redford. The 100 rated 4yo, already dabbling in pattern company, looks a typical winner of this event. 6th in this last year (as 3yo), he has been in typically consistent form this year. After a 6f pipe-opener in May he was a solid 3rd in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot on ground possibly too quick. Then LTO he was 6th behind Plum Pudding (Captain Brilliance 2nd, Racer Forever 5th) in the Bunbury, again the ground would have been quicker than ideal and given the snail-like pace it was a monster effort to get so close given his running style.
I believe him to be equally as effective over 7f or a mile so the stiff 7f here, at a decent clip, should prove ideal. With ticks in plenty of boxes, plus the added bonus of many of the originally leading protagonists doubly entered here and Goodwood, I decided to go in early with Redford and advised him ante-post at 16/1 (E/W) last week.
With today's rain taking the sting out of the ground and with the draw confirming he will definitely be assured a lead I see no reason to change my mind. In fact I may go in again at the 12/1 with Stan James.
There are obvious dangers...
Captain Brilliance - another who would not have been suited tracking a slow pace at Newmarket but run well despite that. Very much an unknown quantity but I can't help but think he is priced up based on what Forgotten Voice (a stablemate with a similar profile), did earlier this season.
Roaring Forte - always been highly regarded, broke the juvenile record at Lingfield despite easing down. Has no experience of big fields and with the (albeit small) worry of front-running alone on the fair side, he is short enough.
Secret Society - progressing at a rate of knots and looks the pick of the 3yo's and those at the foot of the weights.
Racer Forever - closely weighted with Redford on Ascot and Newmarket form. Also hindered by how the race was run at Newmarket and if I'm right about Redford he should be too far behind.
Taqdeyr - Steadily improving and not disgraced when upped in class over 7f recently. Still weighted to be competitive. At 18/1 with Bet365 he is interesting me most as the potential 2nd selection.

I was fairly confident about the bets I had lined up for the new Ffos Las and Yarmouth.
The day started brightly enough with the ridiculously over priced (33/1 => 22/1) Twist Again getting a place in the 3.15 at Yarmouth. Was travelling well before Jimmy Quinn lost his position but ran on well into 3rd place after the race had been won. Must surely find a race soon.
Big Boom, a recent 50/1 2nd for us, looked to hold a major chance in the finale at Yarmouth. Well handicapped, well drawn on going that suited I couldn't see this horse being outside the 1-2-3-4 and he was E/W banker material. Could only finish 2nd however but another solid performance and is obviously well treated.
At Ffos Las, Charity Belle looked all over the winner in the 4.00 but was caught inside the last by Hollow Green. Given the weight she conceded to the winner she perhaps got there a little too soon under Jimmy Fortune. Any horse that can cruise three clear in the last should win, usually it's just a case of an ill-judged ride. Compensation awaits.
Sir Boss took the 5.30 very comfortably.

Sunshine Always travelled well in the 3.05 at Newmarket but again could only finish 2nd. He must find a handicap soon.
Cardinal looked an unlucky loser in the Ripon maiden handicap at 5.10. Forced to switch from an unfavourable low draw he finished with a flourish beaten a neck from what looked like an impossible position a furlong out.
Lady Luachmhar took advantate of a lenient handicap mark by taking the 6.40 at Haydock. There should be more to come from her.
I'd clearly been waiting a long time for Dolly Penrose to get her ground.
For the first time this season she had the soft going he needs and done the business. She doesn't find a great deal off the bridle so was value for more than the head winning margin.
Kindest won well in the 9.10 at Haydock. He travelled well and quickened well, there should be more to come.

At Haydock and Newbury, Medicean Man, Lochan Mor, Burza, Saa'Ida and Beachamp Wonder were all bogged down in the soft ground and are capable of better than their performances today.
Manere Bay travelled very well in the soft conditions at Newmarket in the 8.50 but could only finish 3rd. She looks a good thing off this mark in a fillies race.
Northern Dare loved the barely raceable conditions are Ponty. He will represent little value NTO, especially on quicker ground but is a force when the mud is flying.
Whipma Whopma Gate showed no ill-effects from the fall at Ayr earlier in the week and ran a blinder to finish 2nd in the maiden handicap.

Tangerine Trees took advantage of some lenient handicapping and completed a hat-trick in the 4.35 at Hamilton. Leonid Glow ran ok back in 3rd and is coming to hand.
Orlando's Tale was sickeningly (for me) beaten a nose on handicap debut in the 3.15 at Leicester. He should find a handicap soon.
Despite getting clobbered 5lb for the handicapper for a recent 2nd at Windsor, Plaisterer still looked extremely well treated and I was certain she would go well. She was ridden with supreme confidence by the under rated Jack Mitchell, showing decent toe coming from off the pace. This was a convincing win and despite a further 7lb hike for this win, I won't be betting against her in a hurry.
Impressive Lingfield maiden winner Funday but her handicap debut in the 7.45 at Epsom. She wasn't given the greatest ride in the world and is perhaps value for better than her 3rd position suggests.
Dream On Connie is coming to hand and ran well in the 8.50.
Espy ran better than the formline suggests in the 8.55 at Bath.

All bets proofed to Racing Post
The ground was perhaps against Ingleby Lady in the 3.30 at Catterick so her 3rd can be seen as a decent performance. She will win again on a quicker surface.
The final furlong of the 7.50 at Kempton was puzzling. Fancy Footsteps, who appears on the way back after a springtime setback, looked all over the winner but was a well beaten 3rd in the end. Assail ran out a ready winner after looking beat at the one pole. Fancy Footsteps drifted to the far rail which isn't ideal these days and this can be seen as a most encouraging performance. She clearly enjoys Kempton.
I backed Global Village for the 4th time in succession. Given the horse was unpenalised for a recent easy win and always well backed, there was no way his SP was going to be anywhere near the 7/2 early bird price. He was smashed down to a price more indicative of his chances (11/8) before recording another victory. A real odds compiler(s) error.
Resentful Angel ran very well back in 3rd in the first time headgear.

Half A Crown is a horse I'm struggling to work out. Definitely well handicapped but there has been genuine excuses for defeats this season. Looked to hold a major chance in the 3.15 at Beverley, plum draw too, but despite travelling well could only finish 6th, narrowly out the frame.
Gaselee was disappointing on handicap debut in the 5.15. Probably didn't beat a great deal in a maiden previously but should find a handicap soon enough.
The Last Alzao completed a hat-trick and is clearly improving, there could be another win in this one as he took the amateur event with a bit in hand.
At Yarmouth, Triple Dream found the ground far too soft in the 7.20, the run should be completely ignored.
Sadaska ran ok in the 8.50, she can win a race but as with many of the yard's runners, the market will give and indication as to when.

My only daytime bet was Whipma Whopma Gate at Ayr but she was brought down in the melee on the home turn. The remainder of the meeting was cancelled.
Bestowed ran better than the formline suggests in the Windsor seller 7.30. I can see the horse running a big race at a massive price somewhere soon.
Aflaam didn't like 7f on poly and run poorly in the 8.50 at Wolverhampton. He can do better when getting his toe in a little more, perhaps over further or a stiffer 7f.

The Bunbury Cup was a farce. Plum Pudding was gifted a lead and was never headed. The 1-2-3-4 were front rank throughout. The performance of the race for me was undoubtedly Redford who put in a fantastic effort to get so close given his hold up style.
Main Aim and Fleeting Spirit ran brilliant races in the July Cup - as did Pacos Boy from an impossible position.
William Blake didn't see out 1m4f in the finale.
At Chepstow, Thebes finally got off the mark for this turf season - a well deserved victory.
Rockabout and Some Sunny Day run races full of promise in the 9.10 and will be getting their heads in front in handicap company soon.
Love In The Park run a solid race in the 6.50 at Newbury, he is holding his form well and looks sure to find at least another race.
Burns Night looked the winner in the 7.25 before being brushed aside by Credit Swap, he will fare better against his own age group.

A fairly quiet day considering the quality of the racing. I was very impressed with the Arcano and Showcasing when they filled the 1-2 spots in their Newbury maiden on debut.
Every now and again you see a maiden, usually at Newmarket or Newbury, where you know the 1-2 or 1-2-3 (rather than just the winner) are decent. I saw it with Spout/Dance A Dream (1994), Bahhare/Equal Rights (1996), Soviet Song/Airwave (2002 although at Kempton), Hala Bek/Dragon Dancer (2006), and Delegator/Palavicini/Four Winds (2008). I'm sure there were more (and I'm sure there have been one or two I got wrong) but these are the ones that stick in my head, where I thought the 1-2(-3) were potential pattern performers as soon as they crossed the line.
I formed the same opinion when I saw Arcano and Showcasing fight out the finish on their debut. With Showcasing and others winning maidens since and the 3rd (Party Doctor) finishing 3rd in the Chesham I could be on the right track. Therefore Arcano was a rare bet for me in a 2yo Group race. He travelled smoothly throughout the race and took the July Stakes without much fuss.
Eastern Aria and High Severra turned out to be outclassed in the 2.35 although Changing The Guard put in another consistent performance in 5th.
Green Beret was desperate in the 4.55, he is a smart 3yo.
At Doncaster, Interdiamonds ran a fine race in the 7.10 considering the ground went against him.
First Swallow is weighted to strike at any moment and was well supported before the 9.15. He was off the bridle early but kept on well to snatch a place. He will win soon over 6f.

The start of the Newmarket July meeting and an extremely busy day.
Balaagha has her quirks but is extremely talented (and well treated), she looked an unlucky 2nd in the 1.30 at Newmarket after a tardy start. Photographic ran a solid race in 5th.
Shamwari Lodge and Akhenaten (2.00) finished their races well from off the pace. The former could have been ridden more aggressively but the latter may do better back over further. Rowayton did very well to finish 3rd and his performance was most impressive. The race was ran at a decent clip and he fared best of those up with the pace. He doesn't usually front run so I was surprised to see Jimmy Quinn adopting those tactics here, especially considering there were plenty of others willing to do that job. This was the 2nd decent big field performance from Rowayton this season there could be a decent prize in him. Long term he could be the replacement for Mine, who was a very successful handicapper for the yard.
Crown and Raddy 'Ell Pauline ran ok at big prices in the Cherry Hinton but are short of this level.
Elusive Pimpernel was impressive in taking the 3.45 on his debut. An exciting prospect.
I was shocked to see Dingaan rag of the field for the 5.30 and believed his morning odds to be an insult. Although he hasn't won for some time he is in form and well handicapped. It was no surprise to see him well backed on-course and run well. Another decent effort in defeat, a case of running into a better treated rival unfortunately.
At Catterick, Always Bold looked an unlucky loser in the 3.30, just failing to get up from an impossible position, it wasn't Freddy Tickle's finest hour.
Go Alone kept on well for 2nd in the 4.05. Was no match for Real Diamond but again showed enough to suggest a handicap win is on the horizon.
Another decent Wednesday evening card at Kempton. Global Village looked well treated and was crying out for a return to 7f. The early bird price of 9/2 was huge and he was well backed down to 9/4 before taking the 6.20 with something in hand. Another Try ran well in 3rd, he is still on the up.
Astarta finished well after losing his place in the maiden at 6.50. Should find a race.
Isabelonabicycle (8.50) is a horse I've followed with success this season and I was pleased to see William Buick take over on her for the first time. David Probert threw the race away on her LTO but Buick made no such mistakes. She travelled well but had to be shaken up before putting in a storming run down the outside. Warrior Conquest ran a cracker in 2nd and will be winning soon. Drum Major continues to disappoint.

Astarta finished well after losing his place in the maiden at 6.50. Should find a race.
Isabelonabicycle (8.50) is a horse I've followed with success this season and I was pleased to see William Buick take over on her for the first time. David Probert threw the race away on her LTO but Buick made no such mistakes. She travelled well but had to be shaken up before putting in a storming run down the outside. Warrior Conquest ran a cracker in 2nd and will be winning soon. Drum Major continues to disappoint.

Red Jade had everything in his favour for the 4.00 at Pontefract but could only finish 4th. He has been most disappointing this season. Applaud, one place behind, has also regressed.
Eton Rifles travelled like the winner in the 4.30 but it was a messy final 2f and he finished a close up 3rd. Compensation awaits. Draw and going were against Mark Of Meydan.
Zouk wasn't knocked about on handicap debut in the 5.30 and is capable of better.
Great Knight wasn't given a great ride in the 4.15 at Wolverhampton, there should be another race in him.
Carpe Diem disappointed once again in the 7.10 at Southwell. He is using up all his chances.
Swiss Art, like Diamond Laura earlier in the day at Wolverhamtpon, looked a good thing in an A/W claimer. He took the 7.40 in a battling finish.

A poor set of cards. Love In The West took the weak Ripon claimer fairly comfortably. Terrymene Prince, advised at 100/1, ran better than the market suggested, he travelled well for a long way prior to weakening late on.
Both Zelos Dream and Tagula Pearl ran better then their form lines suggest in the 7.20. They could be of interest in nurseries later on.
Devil You Know travelled like the winner in the 8.20 but didn't pick up and could only finish 4th. There must surely be another race in this 3yo.
You needed binoculars to see Dream On Connie and Sircozy at the halfway point in the 7.00 at Windsor. Both put in decent late work though, especially the latte who, despite coming home in 8th, finished the race better than any. Both remain of interest.

From the list...
Acrostic WON 7/1
Liberally WON 4/1
Shane Kelly gave Hevelius a poor ride in the 3.30 Haydock. Without doubt there is a decent prize in him.
The 3.35 at Leicester was a decent fillies handicap. Whooska was a massive drifter but showed enough in 4th to suggest she can win more races, while Stravella made a bold attempt from the front, both look on marks within their capabilities.
Acrostic (2.40 Sandown) had travelled well without winning so far this season so even though C-P Lemaire appeared to be cruising approaching the last, I for one wasn't confident he'd pick up sufficiently. Thankfully Lemaire and Acrostic just did enough to get in front on the line. He obviously doesn't find as much as expected but on the plus side his style should keep him well handicapped. Tanto Faz found the ground too lively.
Santefisio (4.55) wasn't given a great ride by Jimmy Fortune. Held up way off the pace the ran of well making up many lenghts inside the final half furlong. Although not 100% straightforward he has much more ability than the handicapper currently suggests.
Senses wasn't suited by the lack of pace in the 5.30 and is better than he showed here.
At Nottingham both Liberally and Gilded Age were well backed before the 8.20. Both looked to be coming to hand so it was no surprise to see them fight out the finish. They can continue to be competitive over the coming weeks.
Focail Eile ran a fine race in the 9.20. He travelled as well as any and looked the likely winner at the one pole. He could only finish 4th come the finish but it was a much improved effort on LTO (his first start for sometime) and handicap success may not be too far away.

At Beverley, Coltswold fulfilled the promise of his maiden win with a decent victory here, his first in handicap company.
Shaylee appreciated the step up in trip to score in the 8.30 off a lenient looking mark. Linby didn't show in behind.
In the 8.50 at Haydock, Silent Oasis was disappointing, even taking into consideration how quick she was forced to travel early on.
Cill Rialaig was narrowly denied in the 7.35 a Salisbury. She is improving and as long as the handicapper doesn't over react she will gain compensation soon.
Kuanyao was an impressive winner of the 8.40, there could be more to come. Marina Walk and Azharia didn't figure although the former showed there may be a race in her in time.
The 9.10 was most frustrating with both my selections losing out in the three-way photo. Some Sunny Day, who surprisingly allowed to go off 6/1, was beaten a short-head, wheres the well backed Seasonal Cross was a neck away in 3rd. Both will be winning soon, especially Some Sunny Day.
Covert Ambition did well to chase home stablemate Kirklees in the 4.00 at Sandown, he was held up off a modest pace.

Cwm Rhondda again showed her liking for the 10f's at Yarmouth, winning well under a confident ride. She has been a great horse to follow recently. Sawab ran ok in 5th.The evening cards were decent.
At Epsom Watson's Bay (6.20) ran his usal race. Very consistent but not one to be trusted inside the last.
In the 7.25, Wellington Square was travelling well until stumbling at a crucial time. He kept on well for 3rd and compensation awaits. Ivory Lace ran a solid but never threatening race in behind.
At Newbury the apprentice handicap at 6.30 was run at a stop-start pace. Filun disappointed badly, Arab League was arguably unlucky in 2nd.
Gallagher showed his class in the conditions stakes at 8.10. He got a nice lead from Plum Pudding and nothing else got into the race. It will be interesting to see how he is campaigned from now on.
Arabian Pearl, Cape Melody and Shangani all travelled well before failing to finish their races in the 8.40. All can win more races.
Floras Pride ran ok in the 9.20 at Redcar, a little respite from the handicapper will see her competitive in similar grades.

A fantastic start to July.
Tuxedo threatened in the 8.40 at Chepstow but his effort petered out tamely. He is perhaps a pound or three too high.
Thought both Gioacchino and Onebidkintymill were well handicapped and over priced for the 9.10. The former never showed, perhaps finding the ground to fast but Onebidkintlymill was travelling smoothly at halfway. I started getting excited when J-P Guillambert brought him to the front a two furlongs out and after a tense 1/4 mile he was a neck in front at the line, winning at 40/1. I've gone close with big priced selections recently (100/1 and 50/1 (twice) placed in June) so it was great to get one home. He travelled like a horse better than this grade so there could be more races to be won over the summer.
Swingkeel was a losing bet for me LTO when collared late on by Judgethemomemt, that form looks very decent now and despite a 2lb hike, Swingkeel was obviously well treated going into the 8.20. Jimmy Fortune was extremely confident throughout, looking around when challenging inside the last before giving him the office. The 3l margin was value for more.
The Last Don looked sure to improve for the step up to 1m4f on his handicap debut and it transpired that he needed every yard of that trip. He showed a decent turn of foot to score on his handicap debut continuing the decent form of David Lanigan.
Royal Envoy looked well treated for the last but never got going.

An Exciting Month
June has always been a good month for me and 2009 proved no exception. Busy but profitable.
39% SR
78 winners or EW placed
Over 40pts profit - average bet 1.07pts
Some fantastic winners during this period, the highlights being...
3rd June - 14/1 winner (Volito)
4th June - 16/1 winner (Shavansky - dead heated)
5th June - 4 winners from 5 bets in the update message - all at 11/2 or bigger
7th June - 33/1 winner (Gioacchino)
9th June - Two 10/1 winners (The Last Alzao & Cill Rialaig)
11th June - 50/1 EW bet finishes 2nd (Big Boom)
12th June - 4 winning bets from 5 in the update message - all 5/1 or bigger
13th June - 100/1 EW bet placed (Eastern Hills) and 14/1 winner (Changing The Guard)
20th June - 10/1 and 9/1 winners (Ingleby Lady and La Zamora)
22nd June - Max bet (3pts) wins, returning 10pts
23rd June - 3 bets, 3 winners
26th June - 12/1 winning nap (Mark Of Meydan)
27th June - 20/1 EW nap placed (Boy Blue)
28th June - 12/1 EW nap beaten a head
29th June - 50/1 EW bet placed (Pauls Pet)
...among others.
The success of the bigger priced selections was most pleasing. The service has shown great consistency with massively priced EW bets and we have enjoyed plenty of excitement with them. There is nothing more satisfying than cheering home a horse inside the last that has been ignored by (almost) everyone else.
So with the sun baking the ground all over the country and Wimbledon in full swing, June comes to an end. Here's hoping for more of the same in July.
