Damnit! I picked the wrong Godolphin horse to win yesterday, i hope you just blindly backed the Godolphin horses in maidens yesterday, quite a few of them won at decent prices.
In keeping with the Godolphin theme, my first tip today is a Godolphin horse returning to the all weather after a disappointing turf performance last time.
Chord Chart 18:35 Lingfield 7/4 Stanjames
This acclamation colt finished a 4 length 5th at Nottingham on debut, but then switched to the all weather at Wolverhampton and absolutely bolted up (the winning distance was just over a length, but the manner in which he won constitutes bolting up to me!). Bin Suroor decided to take him back to the turf at Ascot, and he yet again was beaten exactly 4 lengths. Maybe they wanted to give him another try on the turf just to see where they are with him. The return to the all weather should see the best of him, and although he has some decent opposition to take on today, this is a class 5 nursery..
Flamborough Breeze 20:45 Lingfield 4/1 Stanjames
Here is a betcirca favourite, and this selection is being put up partly out of the fact he’s done us so many favours in the past. In Feburary this year, Flamborough Breeze won 3 races back to back at Kempton, then the decision was made to race this horse at Lingfield, here the selection frustratingly finished 2nd by a short head. By this time, he had his balls in the handicappers vice so the decision was taken to go up in grade and a trip on the turf. He’s back down to a class 5 today against some fairly exposed and unreliable types. He’s 4-1 due to not winning since he racked up his hat trick earlier this year, so, he could and should be an each way bet to nothing, we hope.
