Samingarry put in a moody looking display at Doncaster –
appearing as if he didn’t really want to be there.
That
was a bit of a surprise, as he hadn’t performed that way on his seasonal debut
(it was more difficult to judge last time at Cheltenham, as he clearly didn’t
like the conditions).
The
race was won by Killala Quay, who had a row of ‘P’s next to his name – but was
potentially well handicapped if back on song.
The
money in the morning suggested that was the case – and he got up close home, in
a driving finish.
The
days 3 Mentions, met with contrasting fortunes…
Whiteout was already looking beaten when she fell at the
fourth last.
I was hoping she might be able to steal the race from the front – but Bryan Cooper was having non of that and rode favourite Apples Jade, very aggressively,

Maybe she paid the price for that late on, at Limini
swept past her after the last…
There was more joy for Deadly Approach at Ludlow.
I was fearful that one of the less exposed ones might be heavily backed against him – but that didn’t happen and he made every post a winning one.
It was a decent effort and he could be capable of following up…

Finally, Calin du Brizais didn’t seem completely at home
on the rain softened Ludlow ground and could only finish fifth.
Theatrebar and Gulshanigans were backed to the exception
of everything else in the race – and duly finished first and second…
The
2 eye catchers ran fair races – with both finishing 3rd…
Stamp your Feet endured a rough passage up the home
straight - but its unlikely he would have troubled the first 2 home,
regardless.
Tidy
Zag ran a stormer at Punchestown – and I do think he would have taken a bit of
beating over a slightly shorter trip.
He
travelled extremely powerfully – but just appeared to run out of stamina,
approaching the second last.
Maybe the fire isn’t completely extinguished
yet.
In
the only other race of interest, Skipthecuddles was backed down to very short
priced favouritism – before being withdrawn !
The
race was still won by one the horses I had short listed, in the shape of Rockys
Treasure - though in truth he wasn’t particularly strong in the
market…
