Pontefract 2.10
By UK Flat / AW (Northern)
NORTHERN - Pontefract 2.10 Apprentice Handicap - Class 6 - 5 furlongs - Good to Soft.
If it is genuinely Good to Soft here and the usual low draw bias is in play I would be VERY keen on the chances of SMOOCH drawn 2 who drops back from 6 furlongs and who has decent form with cut in the ground. There aren't many who have form with "soft" in the Going and whilst it would have a good form chance in Soft, the fact that they may all go to the Stands rail would not do it any favours. If the far rail is the place to be (and it usually is) I think it has a cracking each way chance.
The one who should not be inconvenienced by the going or the Draw in either eventuality is YAZAMAN and it stands out as a cracking each way punt.
I looked at Van Gerwen and Glory Hallelujah who are both in the TRACKER but I think whatever the conditions they will be too soft for either to excel.
Tips (1) Yazaman / (2) Smooch
