Today’s Free Selections 15th July
Posted on July 14th, 2011 No commentsToday’s 80/20 is Caspar Netscher in the 15.40 at Newbury.This colt finished an excellent third to the talented Frederick Engels in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last month.He met a fair bit of interference two furlongs from home but ran on in great style to earn a place close home.I think he sets a good standard in this decent event and should run well at a fair price.

Posted on July 13th, 2011 No commentsToday’s 80/20 is Halling Dancer in the 18.40 at Epsom.This colt caught the eye on debut when finishing second to Son Du Silence at Windsor last month.He made good progress over a furlong from home and kept on in good style behind the easy winner.I think he is open to a great deal of improvement and should run well at a decent price.

Posted on July 11th, 2011 No commentsToday’s 80/20 is Rutland Boy in the 20.30 at Yarmouth.This gelding finished tenth to Whiplash Willie at Salisbury last month.He was in contention half a mile from home but could not pick up on the rain softened ground and was rightly eased.He is better than the bare form suggests and will appreciate the faster conditions today.He could run well at a big price.

Posted on July 7th, 2011 No commentsToday’s 80/20 is Caledonia Lady in the 14.25 at Newmarket.This Firebreak filly finished an excellent third to Best Terms in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot last month.She was sent off at triple digit odds but ran her heart out and would have probably won in a few more strides.She is clearly talented and could run well at a big price in this important race.

Posted on July 6th, 2011 No commentsToday’s 80/20 is Fadhaa in the 14.25 at Newmarket.This Bahri colt finished sixth to Whiplash Willie at Salisbury last month.He had a chance two furlongs from home but weakened badly to finish out of the frame.He had previously finished a close second to the talented Brown Panther at Chester in May.I think he is open to further improvement and could run well at a big price.
