Monday's Racing Tip (19th June)


Please remember, we will be posting less on this website due to time constraints so you may wish to join Group Horse Daily which gives access to the best 2yo horses in training and betting information, too.  

6:15 Windsor - 

Gotti is interesting. In truth, I was expecting more when he ran at Brighton on debut. In his defence, the form of that race is working out well. The winner, second & third have been entered for Royal Ascot so by general course standards it seems as though he bumped into a few fair types. The blinkers have been removed. It's the only ride for Gerald Mosse. He is probably retained by the owners. He drops back to 5f which is a slight concern considering he struggled to go the pace over five and a half furlongs on debut. That may have been due to inexperience but it is a concern. He looked a touch lazy. A wide draw, again, isn't ideal. However, he still holds an entry for the Railway Stakes Group 2 (Ireland). That experience must help see a more professional display. From a statistical point of view, he holds decent win and place claims. I still feel a slight niggling doubt as to whether he will be outpaced in the early stages before running on at the death. For exchange players, you may get much bigger odds in-running.   

Interesting to note that David Evans has Time For Wine entered to run at Royal Ascot in the Albany Stakes Group 3. She cost 20,000E and presently priced 20/1 for this contest [Windsor]. Sometimes trainers enter horses from Royal Ascot simply for a day out or to get owner's and trainer's badges. Only time will tell if this is the reason for such an entry. If she has an abundance of ability, I would expect to see her heavily backed. 

6:45 Windsor - 

Quick Skips Lad held an entry for the Brocklesby Stakes. He is a consistent, battling horse. He was beaten by a fair animal at plating class when behind Milton Road, who wasn't disgraced in the SKF Rous Selling Stakes at York [worth almost £10,000]. Stan Moore must be confident Quick Skips Lad can win at this level. He steps up in distance which may be ok. There is always a slight concern when a horse changes trip, although he looks a fair prospect of getting this extra furlong. It is often a plus to finish a race at this level rather than blast a trail and fold in the closing stages. From a low draw, he may lead. This gelding should win. At 2/1 I'd take a watching brief just because this extra furlong is an unknown. He may improve for this stiffer task.I would rather see him race over 5f.
