June 15th SUMMING UP
|
A moderate maiden on profile and useful to take High Style as a
pivot point. We have pretty much seen what he can do and he's limited but
likely to run consistently. He'll probably rate in the 58-62 range here
but is eminently beatable. The other runners with previous runs mostly
look worse than High Style. Benllech returns to 5f and fitted with
a tongue-tie after a poor run over 5f as favourite last time. He has looked
unsuited to 5f and shouldn't feature here unless there is a wild pace duel.
The one exception is Road To Recovery who made an above average
debut by trainer standards in a solid Novice behind a course record. If
you say he ran fourth behind Hoh Mike, Scented Present & Karayel (all
winners since) you can easily convince yourself he's bombproof. He was
mixed in with moderate types though and Karayel had faded having tried
to go with the superior pair. But, leaving that aside, normal improvement
for the trainer's STO runner would see him set a good standard.
On his woeful debut effort on softer going FTO Silver Hotspur would
be straight on the 'Avoid' list. But he's a better physical type than that
and his trainer usually runs competitive types in his first batch. He appeared
to run two duff ones first this year which would be unusual. Either way,
he's worth another trip over the cliff's edge with on this faster going
if there is a hint of market support.
None of the newcomers look likely to compete strongly in an average maiden
on debut but could place in this weaker group. Sacre Coeur looked
at least an average maiden winner at the sales although a 6f+ type on set-up.
She's likely to be keeping on into a place if she has that ability. Of
the others Special Day & El Bosque can be assessed for
their potetntial to win at open maiden level.
