Today’s Nottingham Card

 friend has asked me to give him some pointers to the races at Nottingham today.

Here are my quick thoughts.

Race 1 – Neytiki as it’s got the most attractive jockey!  She’s a coeliac too!  Avoid Brand Bob as the horse has a bad draw.  The horse is also owned by someone I know!

A general point is that it’s probably worth watching Richard Hughes mount in the first, but a PlacePot using all his mounts would be a good idea, as he’s closing in on the jockey’s championship.

I can’t say I can guarantee these selections, but my father’s ability to pick winners improved after he’d had a stroke.

Race 2 – Ittirad as trainer Michael Jarvis and jocky Philip Robinson are often dangerous in this sort of race.

Race 3 – Academy and Charles Camoin.

Race 4 – If Hayley wins the first, back Ace of Spies here.  Make My Dream is probably worth looking at.

Race 5 – Be patriotic and back the Queen’s horse – Starshine.  Seriously though it looks like a horse that gets a distance and few except the Queen run those.

Race 6 – Spinning is napped and should go close and Naddwah is my pick.  But don’t underestimate Compton Blue because of Richard Hughes going for the championship.

Race 7 – Point North and Colour Scheme.

Race 8 – Kenyan Cat as trainer a great and honest guy and horse just missed a hat trick.
