Yeh it aint the strongest of races, and ill also leave my tips for 2morras racing if i have time
however, im not guna do a propa form experts review of the Derby Trial as im bored and want to give any one who reads it a decent chance of making money.
2.40- Derby Trial
i will start with the outsider,
Baan
, who i believe has a squeak based on a 3rd on his latest run in the classic trial won by Primary, who has since cracked the from witha dissapointing run earlier in the week.
the race from which primary did bad in was the same won by Papal Bull, who was beaten easily by
Boteen
last year in a maiden race. From then, papal bull has increased in the ratings to 105, and with Botten at 90, surely he can improve further.
however, fitness has to be taken into account, as he is the only colt not to have had a run this season. the 227 days rest may take its toll towards the last furlong and so therefore i fancy a horse that is guarenteed to saty and for that we come onto my selection,
HAZYMM
He stayed on dearly over the distance last time and has proven stamina. with the beenefit of a run, and providing he doesnt bounce, then he will win this race. If this race was a handicap, for example, hazymm would give Bolteen a staggering 17lbs, and so therefore has to be respected on level terms.
Of the others,
Linds'a Lad
has to be taken seriously due to one of, if not the best, racing combinations in current day in Andre Fabre and Christophe Soulmillon. best form in the race but i dont belive he can take the extra weight given to him because of his success in a grade higer race.
Before You Go
is the horse most likely to decieve. his form looks solid but i thnik he will finda few too many.
For the winner i return to
HAZYMM
predicted finishing order:
1st - Hazymm
2nd - Bolteen
3rd - Baan
4th - Linda's lad
5th - Before You Go
