Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
March 19th: Entered for - 
Lingfield 5f (AW) 
Conditions Race (D1)
  • Sire has mixed record with 2yos and gets winners at all distances. Can get odd early winner but better record from mid season.
  • First foal of a well related, expensive dam who showed 70+ rating form over 8f as a 2yo. The low sales price suggests a poor physical specimen given the acceptable pedigree.
  • Trainer had first 2yo runners in 2004 and was notable for uncompetitive debuts and runners probably running too early. Has entered two 2yos for this race.
  • In summary, pedigree looks more 6f+ and later season and sales price mostly negates the positives. Likely to be well below best form on this early debut. Profile [24]
  • March 26th: Entered for - 
    Kempton 5f 
    Maiden - (D2)
  • Did not run in the Lingfield race, either not declared or balloted out.
  • Comments and profile still valid. Profile [24]
  • March 29th: Entered for
    Warwick 5f
    Maiden Fillies' (E)
  • Not declared for Kempton where trainer's other entry Cumbrae was declared.
  • Previous comments and profile still valid. Profile [24]
  • March 29th: Entered for
    Yarmouth 5.2f
    Auction (E)
  • Comments for Warwick race valid here. Receives 5lb from the topweight filly. Profile [24+5 =29]
  • April 1st: Declared 
    for Lingfield 5f Auction
  • Finally runs having been entered in most 2yo races so far this year.
  • Trainer has had one runner in 2005 at Kempton and well beaten at 33/1. Presumably similar for this one. Profile [24]
  • April 9th: Declared for
    5f Lingfield Auction
  • Ran slightly above expectations but still to a low level of form on debut here (well behind Piccostar who is also in the race). Trainer's only other runner in 2005 did not progress STO. Profile [43]
  • April 9th: Lingfield
    Post Race
  • Showed more pace and zip than her finishing position suggested having made ground quite quickly downhill well wide but then running a little wider into the straight before plugging on once balanced again. Trainer doesn't have a good record of converting minor promise into wins but the type that some trainers would find a small race she could win.  Estimate [49]
  • April 24th: Brighton
    5.3f Maiden
  • Drops to Brighton after two Lingfield AW races where she has handled the downhill stretch better than the bend. The type that may well press the pace on in the first half of the race.
  • The trainer is slightly unlucky because this type of runner can often place in a weak edition of this race. However, this year there is more depth to the quality and while being prominent early it's difficult to see her being good enough to hang on for a place.  Profile [53]
  • April 24th: Brighton
    Post Race
  • 16/1.  Prominent for 3F+ in second then third pace and tracking a good pace. Around 2L off the duelling pacemakers at halfway.  Faded badly from before the last uphill furlong. Estimate [44]
  • May 17th: Redcar
    6f Maiden Fillies'
  • Ran below expectations at Brighton and probably sat too close to the better pacemakers. Steps up to 6f here which should be ok on pedigree although she has shown 5f pace at a low level and not finished races off strongly.
  • Trainer's 2yos have tended to run to consistent ratings once they have reached their 'level.  Profile [50]
