18/8/2012

well what a treat for race fans this saturday,excellent meetings at newbury,newmarket & ripon abound with group race action at newbury being the highlight for race fans,here are my thoughts on the day along with today's lay selections...

today's lays are...

brown panther                   2.30 newbury       2nd @ 3.3
jacob cats                         3.40 newbury        3rd @ 3.4



lets pick up the baton with the top horse,brown panther,the apple of former england striker michael owen's eye & his stable stalwart.this horse is all stamina with a german pedigree & loves to get his toe in to the ground,at the minute it's 10.00am and the ground is drying out at a rapid rate of knott's..and as every minute goes by this horses chances get slimmer,granted he has some quality placed form but the biggest win he's registered upto now is a pokey little listed race at pontefract,he just falls short of top class & against some high quality animals he could just get out run in the closing stages,he'll more than likely plug on for a place over today's extra distance but no more than that in my opinion.the following selection is pretty straight forward,he performed with credit with a 6LB penalty LTO but no more & now he's been re-assesed he's carrying another 2LB in a better race.....couple that with the fact that this run is going to come plenty quick enough for him i think we have two decent lays for the day.
