May 7th: Newmarket
5f Maiden Fillies' |
Withdrawn from the Doncaster St Leger sales and probably owner-bred.
Until this season the sire had moderate record with 5f winners and 2yos
tended to need time to develop. So far he has had 5f and 5.3f winners for
M Channon although neither put up real 'speed' 5f performances. This is
his fifth debut at 5f in 2005 (three of the previous four have been for
M Channon).
The dam has an 8f+ pedigree and won over 8f in France. She has produced
one winner, over 8f in France, with four previous foals.
Trainer has a moderate record overall with 2yos given the quality he usually
has and mainly gets wins only with the very best of them. THe earliest
debuts each season can include inexperienced runs although debuts from
the end of May onwards tend to competent and the better types can win.
This is the trainer's second 2yo runner of the season and the first was
unplaced here last week at 50/1.
The trainer has had his older horses very forward in 2005 and has also
run them over the winter on the AW and in Dubai.
In summary a non 5f pedigree and the dam's record is not an encouragement.
More likely to be an ordinary owner bred having a run locally than a better
2yo. Profile [50]

May 20th: Goodwood
6f Maiden Fillies |
14/1 6th favourite of 9 on debut. Broke well and tracked an average pace
in 5th by 1L at halfway. Outpaced by the better types as that race quickened
and plugged on in a group that finished close together. Estimate [55]
The subsequent run of the 6th from the Newmarket race - unplaced in an
AW claimer after drifting in the market suggests the debut race was over-rated
and a slow race which did not fully test the fillies. The 3rd from the
race who was also outpaced and kept on better late was third in an average
maiden on 4 days ago. Trainer's STO runners tend to improve around 8lb.

June 1st: Nottingham
5f Maiden Fillies' |
9/2 at Goodwood on softer ground after rain and a number of fillies did
not act on it. Broke ok but moved to the rail and behind midfield after
a furlong. Hampered as another filly moved to the rail across her. Lost
momentum and her lack of pace then showed as she had to be driven to pick
up again. Off the back of the group behind a solid pace for the conditions
at halfway (more than 6L off the leader). No progress. Estimate
[20]
A poor run STO and possible excuses because of the ground and being hampered
early in the race. However, she again looked to lack basic pace and not
obviously suited to a faster 5f. Profile [59]
