Weekend Selections From Team Inittowinit (8th April)

Couple of places last week and the man on form Equinefutures banged in another win with Bold Act who was 100/30. 

Not much time so here we go.

Equinefutures 830 Wolv – Hooflepuff 15/8 1st

 

HOOFLEPUFF looked on the way back two runs ago at Wolver’ behind Snooze Lane and then backed that up with a good effort LTO; it doesn’t look like there’s a Clipsham Gold lurking here to spoil the party. Eagle Eyed Freddie did very well LTO from a wide draw and will most likely lead here with Ladypacksapunch pressing the pace. City Escape along with Inexplicable are consistent at a level and will be thereabouts at the business end. Storm Asset who’s having a third run for Tony Carroll and may have needed the run last time so could do better. Havana Goldrush just hasn’t fired recently but is now down to Class 6 and would be dangerous if bouncing back.

Prohorseracing 5.30 Wolverhampton - Inchbae 6/1 Unp

Inchbae was denied by the late charging Jenny Renn last month at this track, although over the two furlongs shorter 1m 4f distance. These two meet again here and seem to be the horses to focus on.

The step up in trip swings it toward Inchbae for me, who should appreciate the extra distance. There is plenty of stamina in her pedigree and she's one you'd hope she can improve with age and experience.

 Still a maiden, but she showed promise toward the end of last season, especially when runner-up at Chelmsford over 10 furlongs off 54. She changed yards afterwards and didn't run as bad as the pure form suggests on stable debut at Dundalk.

She improved dramatically for that outing next time at Wolverhampton. obviously a tricky sort, she didn't see the late effort from Jenny Renn coming on the outside from back of the field there and didn't have time to respond, I believe. 

This 1m 6f contest looks an even poorer race, with very few proper dangers. The #13 isn't ideal on paper but unlikely to pose issues. There isn't much pace here, so I'd expect her to move across quickly to establish potentially a soft lead. She should have enough in hand if she progresses for the step up in trip - as I hope she does - to win.

Racingtictac 13.50 Musselburgh LION OF WAR 4/1 3rd

Roaring Lion colt who was given a mark of 93 after winning a 7f maiden at Newcastle by ten lengths - admittedly a weak enough maiden even with a penalty in the context of this race. 

However he did, on his next start subsequently go off 11/4f in the G2 Superlative Stakes but was ultimately beaten a long way out having drifted left and right under pressure. In quite a severe way.

Looked leggy last year to me and plenty of scope, green enough under pressure. 

He went on to appear again twice, once in a listed race at Haydock when unfancied and late on in the season at Doncaster when finishing third in a nursery off 1lb higher than today. Not exactly a rough ride and not given an overly hard time but did keep straight and it was on testing ground so any ease on this occasion will not be an issue.

Now he appears off 87 and fits the bill in terms of a winner of this contest, he seriously strikes me as a type to improve this year as a 3 year old with plenty left to work on from last year physically and mentally. Coupled with the yards fine record in this race, he could be the one and given the backing he received last year in pattern races, 87 could well seriously underestimate him IF he has grown up and can be more professional.

CraigNewton 16.10 Musselburgh Yorkshire Terrier (non runner)

Second 2yo race of the season, betting will be interesting here, pretty sure Amo Racing filly Treasure Storm will be popular, I'd keep an eye out on market movers here. Gonna take a chance on tracker Yorkshire Terrier who was entered for the Brocklesby but never ran. Related to Outstrip who won fto over five furlongs. 

Under 15/2 a positive so I'll go each way, 11/2 at the minute.
