Well yesterday was poor & although the selections were only small EW bets it was still a bad showing with only the one selection confirming the form to finish in the place money, EUTROPIUS ran well to finish a close fourth & had he got a better start i'm sure he would have challenged more strongly but was not to be. Just the one selection today & hopefully she can produce the goods, will be going through the Wolverhampton evening card this afternoon & if anything looks viable will update it on here later on, good luck if getting involved.
Newbury -
16:15 - LADY LARA WIN 7/4 = WON (1/5)
This looks a good opportunity for the A P Jarvis filly LADY LARA to have a real crack at getting herself off the mark as a 2 year old. There is no doubt that she is the most experienced runner in the race & she comes into this one with not just experience but experience at a better level, none more so than her run last time out 7 days ago in a group 2 affair at Doncaster where she finished a respectable 3rd behind the well regarded Godolphin runner Ihtimal. That day was the first time she had raced on easing ground & she seemed to take to it well when striking the front 2f out but then finding a couple too good inside the final furlong. The drop back from 8f to 7f today looks as though it should be a positive as last time she wasn't able to find that bit more in the latter stages. Dropping down from group 2 level today into a class 2 handicap is what makes this bet really appealing & she is unlikely to get many better opportunities if she is one to remain at a decent level. Admittedly there are a couple of unexposed sorts who look as though they will progress in this one, i'm hoping that LADY LARA's experience at a better level will prove too much for them. The Ground last time out at Doncaster was supposedly softer than the official good to soft & she took to it well so hopefully today's soft ground shouldn't pose a real problem. The booking of James Doyle is always a positive addition as well. All in all this filly looks to have the right profile going into this one & if she reproduces her form of last time out then she should be hard to beat & looks worth the bet.
