MONDAY'S SELECTION'S

GOODWOD 2.35 ... MYMUMSAYSIMTHEBEST E/W @ 16/1 Generally

Willridge looks to have been given a more realistic assignment as his 5 length defeat by (88 rated) Palace Moon last season doesn't look too harsh now considering Palace Moon demolished a field of good (90+ rated) Handicappers at Doncaster by the same margin.
With his win coming on softer going he may find this happening a bit quick and the yard has less than a 4% strike rate this season to dampen enthusiasm for his chances.
Mymumsaysimthebest's first ever run was at this track when slowly away on good ground yet stepped up markedly on that when getting gd/firm going next 3 outings to go down between 1-3 lengths each time.
The last of those under this jockey was the 3 lengths in the St Leger Yearling Stakes to subsequent Mill Reef & Middle Park Stakes winner (109 rated) Dark Angel with other 2Yr Old Group winners in arrears.
Only 1/2 length in front in the Leger, was Mister Hardy who has since just won a hatrick of decent h/caps, the last off 12lb higher than the limit for this.
This gelding would have needed his 1st run back after the long absence, where he took a keen grip and was hampered in running, he has a decent looking draw if breaking on terms and one of the strongest jockeys in the weighing room who is familiar with the horse.
Off a mark of 78 would stand a realistic chance of winning this against this opposition if running to the level he showed when previously with Richard Hannon and looks attractively priced at 16/1 generally available.

REDCAR 3.55 UNBREAK MY HEART 12/1 Skybet ... 11/1 S. James B.O.G.
Richard Fahey likes a crack at this competitive contest and Unbreak My Heart was one who was part of a nice F/C for us last month.
That was over a mile but he was just getting going to win on the line.
Also being his 1st run of the season it was a sterling effort and is only 4lb higher here.
It's possible he didnt take to Epsom last time out but that contest has thrown up numerous winners and placed horses since and providing he gets a nice clear run on the last 5fl home straight he should find this extra 2 fl within his capabilities.

Unbreak My Heart 1 point
