2.40 Newbury Sound Stage 2pt win 6/1 Coral and Sky
I expect Sound Stage to show a
significant upturn in his form today, now that he returns to his ideal distance
at his favourite course.
Sound Stage can race a bit too
freely for his own good, so the fact that there looks to be plenty of pace in
today’s race, should certainly suit. He
was off the course for 11 months after a decent run at Newbury in November
2010, he finished 2nd that day over this trip and a reproduction of
that effort would see him win today. He
was running a decent race at Newbury earlier in the season before falling, when
looking booked for 4th place.
Off a mark of 120 he looks sure to go well today, in a race that won’t
take much winning.
3.15 Newbury Desert Joe 2pt win 4/1
Desert Joe looked all at sea at
Fakenham last time, the course didn’t suit him at all, but Newbury certainly
should today. He has shown promise in
all 3 runs so far, and I think a mark of 113 could well underestimate him. Velator is a worthy favourite, but his last 2
victories have been off marks of 86 and 93.
He turns up today off 110, and Desert Joe is going to be a more
formidable opponent to what he has been taking on.
4.10 Lingfield Roodee Queen 1pt 25/1
There look to be a number of confirmed
hold up horses in this race that are usually reliant on a strong pace, in my
opinion it will pay to race handily as this could be falsely run.
Roodee Queen won off this mark at
Epsom last summer, and shaped quite well returning from a break at Kempton last
time, she chased too strong a pace that day but showed a good attitude, by
finishing best of those that had been prominent early. From Stall 3 Liam Keniry could well get the
run of the race, and she looks well over priced at 25/1.
