THURSDAY 29 MARCH

TRACK:     SOFT 5                                RAIL:    +3M

BEST BETS:

RACE 3                        NO.1    I’M IMOGEN

I’M IMOGEN was allotted 64.5kg but with the claim for Alena Skerritt the mare will carry 61.5kg and that doesn’t seem harsh to my eye for the opposition she is facing. I’m Imogen is dropping back from a Benchmark 74 race to a BM60 and I’m tipping she will appreciate the extra furlong up to 1200m even though she has been unplaced at her two previous goes at the trip. She will be able to settle handy and I am confident her class will prove the difference.

RACE 7                        NO.4    VALERIA  

I have always had a nice opinion of this filly VALERIA who resumes here off the back of a four month spell and two nice easy barrier trials. She has only raced three times for a win and two placings and always looked a little immature so the break is sure to have done her the world of good. From a good gate she should be able to stalk a couple of the speed horses and then Corey Brown lets her go hopefully she can let rip.
