6.45 – Song Of Parkes 2pt win 7/1
Song Of Parkes seems best suited to 6 furlongs on a flat,
straight course, and quick ground. Today
she gets those conditions for the first time this year.
The last time she had her optimum conditions she won cosily
off a mark of 65, and although she isn’t the most consistent, if putting her
best foot forward today, then she is more than capable of winning of her
current mark of 69.
2nd
Epsom
7.40 – Rondeau 1pt each way 12/1
There are better handicapped horses on paper than Rondeau
today, but he is a horse that seems to save his best for this course and
distance, and unlike last time, today’s race looks sure to be run to suit, with
4 or 5 potential front runners in the line-up.
Last time at Epsom, horses ridden prominently, dominated all
evening on ground that was pretty dead, and as a result it proved hard to make
ground up from the back. Rondeau did
finish best of all in his race though, and showed enough to think that he can
still go close, off his current mark.
I expect him to be settled well back early, but providing
the leaders do go off too hard, it could well set the race up for Rondeau. With his stable in decent heart, he is worth
chancing at a big price this morning.
