3.05 – Dubawi Sound 2pt 5/1
generally
Dubawi Sound is a horse that still has stacks of potential,
and it is certainly too soon to be writing him off after a couple of below par
efforts.
His first race of the season was back in April, when he was
well fancied for The Spring Mile at Newbury.
This was the first time that he had encountered soft ground, which
clearly didn’t suit, and the way he stopped that day suggested that he may have
had a breathing problem as well. Since then
he has been moved from Roger Varian to David Brown, and he is now fitted for a
tongue tie for the first time.
Although a competitive race, I feel that Dubawi Sound could
well be a cut above today’s opposition, and I expect him to take this before
going onto better things.

3.55 – Greylami 2pt win 10/1
Greylami always takes a couple of runs to reach his peak, so
the fact that he has shown very little so far this year isn’t a major concern.
Today he races in a much weaker race than he usually contests,
and he has his optimum conditions on turf, for the first time in a long
time. He won a course and distance
handicap off a mark of 90 in 2010, and turns up today off a mark of 82. If Robert Mills has him in top form, he
should win. At a double figure price
this morning, he represents excellent value.
