Friday 20th July
Newmarket
7.50 – Rivas Rhapsody 2pt win 4/1
generally, 9/2 Hills
Normally if a daughter of Hawk Wing had finished 2nd,
3 times on the trot, I would be looking to take her on, as this would be a sign
in common with most Hawk Wing’s, that they are not the most willing under
pressure. That is certainly not the case
with Rivas Rhapsody though.
Last time at Kempton, she did absolutely nothing wrong, when
going down by half a length, having conceded first run to the winner,
Athenian. Athenian has franked that form
since by winning again, and is now rated 10lbs higher than she was at Kempton.
Rivas Rhapsody is just 3lbs higher today, so has obvious
claims from a handicapping perspective, and I feel that the stiffer Newmarket
course will suit her better today.
Having had just the 6 runs in her career, Rivas is still open to plenty
of improvement, and although today’s race looks competitive, nothing else has
her potential to improve. 4/1 looks a
fair price.
2nd
