Review of yesterday’s racing
Yesterday’s selection ICE DIVA was beaten by the weather (showers) causing a change in going to good-to-soft. Even so, she ran a solid race and on better going she can recoup the loss. At Hamilton, BONNIE CHARLIE was beaten by the draw; with 4 of the 1st-6 drawn less than 5. The same happened to GO GO GREEN with low drawn horses again dominating the race.
If the changeable weather continues today then it could be a day for giving it a miss.

Today’s Racing Selections
There is a lot of racing today, probably too much to focus on. I’ve been scanning the racing looking for an opportunity like last week’s winner. There seem to be quite a few non-runners and it’s playing havoc with the betting. There is an interesting race at Ripon at 3:25 and Tom Tate has his only runner at Ripon in this where he has a great strike rate (22%) at his local track. MUSIC OF THE MOOR did not like the fast going LTO, but before that he was on the upgrade. The horse that beat him on 25-May by a nose Yashrid is now rated 13lb higher; and the horse he beat on 14-April by a neck – I’m Super Too – is now rated 7lb higher. This makes MUSIC OF THE MOOR look fairly treated running off OR79 as he could be a few pounds well-in. The going today will suit and Tate has won this race twice in the last 3 years, last season with top notcher Distant Memories. Currently 8/1 (Sportingbet) looks fair each-way odds.
