Korus FN – 8.10
ticks enough boxes for an each-way bet on the twelve-runner ‘Bumper’ over an extended two miles of ‘good to soft’ Fontwell today when York opens its majestic doors for a fabulous three-day Dante fixture which should provide further classic clues and whether Breeders Cup Juvenile winner Big evs has trained on; Mick Appleby’s charge, potentially best sprinter in the world, is most exciting.
As it happens the seven-race Knavesmire card is much too tough for serious punting yet thousands will descend on the great left-handed racetrack ready to ‘guess’ and risk their hard-earned money, not to mention filling coffers of on-course bookmakers.
This meeting was a ‘must go’ all those years ago, now I’m more interested in fate of readership and so National Hunt Flat Races are much easier to solve than two-year-old races ever were but I’ll be studying juveniles much more seriously after Royal Ascot next month.
There will be occasional forays into the first season group because I’ll not spend hours computing race-time results without revealing findings, read on!.
Anthony Honeyball trains once-raced Korus which means this Cokoriko gelding is a stable-companion of Dance And Glance, yet another impressive nap for this columnist at Plumpton a few days ago.
There are quite a few trainers who have latched on to my latest ‘speciality’ and they are obviously realising the wisdom of quietly bringing on such thoroughbreds in readiness for careers as jumpers.
Korus had a sighter at Market Rasen five weeks ago when a creditable third to heavily-backed Woodland Park, beaten nine lengths; improvement will be needed to beat likely favourite Getaways Gift and progressive penalised Jubilant but I’m confident of the outcome!
Cracking race and so is the Perth ‘Bumper’ over two miles which features an intriguing rematch,
Magna Victor PE – 5.25
attempting to reverse two and a quarter lengths beating places with course and distance winner Takt De Touges; others will be hard-pressed to cope with them,
Magna Victor is the classic ‘each-way to nothing’ wager in a separate double with Korus.
Twice-raced
Amerjeet SL – 3.00
is fancied to make it third time lucky in the six-runner Novice Stakes over five furlongs of ‘soft-heavy’ Salisbury despite obvious claims of Kempton debut winner Pont Neuf; this rates a good bet on the time-handicap.
