Newbury 8.08

 

They may all be running for places here IF Wonder Starelzaam reproduces the form of a win over 11 furlongs here last time. At the price though and being turned out quickly without penalty, I'm happy to play for the place money at nice each way Odds and don't think the favourite is in any way "bombproof".

 

Lost Gold for Bin-Suroor with Kirby up is intriguing and could be anything, I'd be tempted to have some e/w change on it at any price over 6/1 but have a hunch it could be shorter very quickly later on.

 

Pledge Of Honour and Hotspur Harry are both on what I now think are challenging Handicap marks and Huomachit and Love Dreams aren't totally proven at the trip and it's a long old way down the Straight here and a tough 10 furlongs as a result. I think Millions Memories could run much better but all its best form is on Good to Firm and there is rain about so I'll add that to my TRACKer with a note about needing proper rattling ground!

 

At BIG Odds I suggest an "exchange win and place or a small each way" (if you can't access Exchange on, GET LUSH its won and placed off marks of 66 and 67. it's admittedly run poorly so far this season but those 3 runs should have it fully fit now and off a mark of 61 with the excellent young Callum Hutchinson (son of Wayne) up I think it will finish nearer the front than the back  and may nick an enhanced place.

 

My main pair are PRECISELY who ran well on seasonal debut, has a host of good runs at the trip in this grade and on all sorts of ground and I can't find any chinks in it. STAR OF VALOUR runs for the in-form Joe Tizzard and has placed in its last 2 runs off a mark of 66 and runs off 67 here and I think this track will suit and clearly the Yard are in top form fit and healthy horses.
