March 29th: Entered for
Warwick 5f
Maiden Fillies' (E) |
Cheap price for TO2 sales but solid price within the trainer's range.
By sire who made good start as a First Season Sire in 2002 with quality
sprint 2yos. Has produced winners, but of lesser quality in 2003-4 from
smaller crops. Can produce early 5f winners.
Older dam raced to 7yo has a consistent record of producing runners rating
around mid-60s but all have needed 7f+.
Trainer has very interesting record with 2yos (see his 2005 commentary).
Debut runs are normally uncompetitive at long SPs. Each season he seems
to find a 2yo that can win 3 races in the season and improve to 80s rating,
usually after running in sellers. Is this one in that mould?
Acceptable pedigree for race but trainer's runners usually need to develop
from debut. Of more interest for long term prospects than necessarily competitive
in this race. Profile [42]

Did not run at Warwick and given the trainer's record 2001-4 she becomes
even more interesting in terms of tracking her development given she is
now the trainer's first 2yo runner of the season and starts at Windsor.

Paddock review rating 62. Hmmm. The trainer has introduced a 3 time 3yo
winner at Windsor in 3 of the last four seasons. However, hard to see this
one improving that record (although the same could be said of Borzoi Maestro).
Just about the smallest and lightest in the group. Narrow with it and weak
behind. One of the fittest in the group. A seller type on looks and interesting
to see whether she runs in one soon and how she develops from there in
later season.
Typical trainer debut but with less promise than expected but she was a
moderate type in paddock review and this could have caused this. Would
expect to see her running in AW sellers soon and difficult to see her developing
beyond that. Estimate [45]

Trainer's 2yos tend to show moderate development over the first three runs.

6f Auction Fillies' |
8/1 at Bath and outpaced early and more than 3L behind at halfway and faded
in the last 2f. Estimate [42]
Steps back up to 6f. Trainer had first winner of season yesterday with
a 3TO wunner in a seller. Interesting that this one has not been dropped
ot a seller. Profile [55 + 8 = 63]
