Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
20 Apr The fourth was a very pleasant surprise with Beat Seven. A 10,000gns purchase with a non-2yo trainer isn't going to get you excited on profile but she's a fine lump of a girl - Picture - and showed enough athleticism in the race to suggest she can shift enough as well. The trainer's record is an issue but she ought to be up to winning an average maiden at least.
28 Apr This year's race is the same, but different. Beat Seven ran fourth in the equivalent Newmarket race on debut and now comes to this race and is poorly drawn in 4 of 16. Like Affirmatively she faces an inexperienced field with the only other runner who has run before being Lois Darlin who has missed the break on both starts and well back at halfway. If you put the pair of Affirmatively & Beat Seven together in pictures anyone should be able to see the difference. You would prefer the longer term prospects of Beat Seven to improve with racing and prove a better 2yo and Affirmatively failed badly in Listed & Group races after the Windsor race when trying to 'blag some black type' for her owner breeder.
  • One difference is that you knew the trainer with David Elsworth could convert promise to wins STO and that he had the filly as ready as he could have her for the race. She was also allowed to go on and lead to make the most of the track position advantage. Gaye Kelleway has only had two wins with 2yos since 2000 from 23 runners. They were both with horses claimed from other stables and on their third goes for her care. If Beat Seven were drawn 14, trained by David Loder and allowed to make the pace you'd be confident she could get the job done here. She's a positive on paddock review and would be unlucky to find a useful and nippy one lurking in the rest of the group.
  • After a slow pick-up at Newmarket she got fired up as the jockey urged her on and ended up running all over the back of the limited filly setting a slower pace. Which may well mean they will try to drop her in and ride her for a finish which is more open to problems arising than the Elsworth approach in 2007. Anyway, she looked one to follow and this is a winnable race so she's backable but with some extra needed in the price to make her value given the niggles.
