Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
25 Mar Transcentral - on TV pictures an interesting tiny terrier. Looked very small but at least with a bit of a barrel to her and some strength. Compact which will limit her distance range. Cheap purchase for a trainer who makes a habit of getting wins of some sort with them. A bit of a head-down puller and not the easiest to steer but still pulling after the line having done a bit more than plod on from 8th to 4th in the last furlong. Only runner in the field to show something a little 'different' in the race. Presumably limited and probably a 50s rater but a usable one on first view and the trainer can perhaps find a seller for her third go. Be prepared to be a little shocked how tiny she actually is when seen in paddock review.
21 Apr Aside from Camelot Communion you come back to the one runner with previous experience as a solid contender. The trainer has a good third time out record with his 2yos and you can see that sort of pattern developing with Transcentral. For a cheap buy she is a usable size and build and ought to make a 60s rater of some sort which would have been good enough to win last year's edition of the race aside from Loch Jipp. But, she's got a wilful temperament and doesn't concentrate on racing and what the jockey wants her to do. 
  • She showed promise on debut but the pilot was clearly more interested in trying to get her to settle and found her very difficult to steer as she was still pulling hard in the final furlong (a positive in a soft ground race). STO at Leicester she was allowed her head a little more and led for 3 furlongs plus while carrying the field from the stands' rail across towards the far rail (hanging right). She got tired on the uphill finish as you would expect but ran a solid race. This is her third run and if she's now ready to calm down a bit and listen to the jockey and set a usable pace we ought to see the best of her. If she pulls too hard she might still hang on but on this uphill course she would set herself up for a bigger finisher (perhaps Camelot Communion) in the straight.
