March 27th:
Entered for
Musselburgh
5f Maiden |
Solid price for DOC sales.
Sire has mixed 2yo record. 5f and early season winners are rare, probably
needs good dam help to get that type of runner. Had 5f winner in 2004 but
she was useful & developed over 6f+.
Dam was rated in 60s and tends to produce that type including sprinters.
Reviewed at the sales and small/lightly built and weak walker behind. Rated
62 but not thought of as a likely 2yo winner.
Trainer has good record with older runners but approach with 2yos difficult
to assess. Overall record moderate. Earliest debuts often of mixed ability
but run to competent level within their ability.
In summary not a 5f early pedigree unless average+ runner but sales suggests
60s type. Likely to be competent on debut. Profile [52]

March 27th:
Entered for
Musselburgh
5f Maiden -
POST RACE |
Had the stable first jockey on and had some mild each-way support from
25/1 to 16/1.
Trainer's debuts are normally competent but this one lost ground at the
start and never got into the race. Estimate [40]

April 11th: Declared for
Southwell 5f Auction |
The Musselburgh race he debuted in has produced three winners (finished
2nd to 4th) and three placed runners from subsequent efforts. So they were
clearly a competitive group at a low 50s-60s level.
The winners from the race have included his stablemate who was a longer
price on debut but finished well in front of him in 2nd. That runner -
Soto - did not show improvement in winning a similar race here from Woodwee.
Woodwee finished behind this one at Musselburgh but showed more ability
in the race by getting to a prominent position from a slow start until
a late fade dropped him back.
Given the support on debut, Dale Gibson riding then and trainer's methods
it is probable that he can rate at a similar level to Soto. Profile
