2.45 Ayr – Vince Lombardi (1pt win – 7/2 generally)
It might pay to take a chance on one of the three-year-olds in this contest. Spacer and Beltane have been dealt wide draws, and Spitting Feathers has a bit to prove at present.
This could go to VINCE LOMBARDI, who caught the eye at Haydock off a slow pace but stuck to the task strongly, and he hasn’t had many goes over this distance. His two best efforts have come with ease in the ground, so any rain through Sunday into Monday will be welcomed.
He is likely to gain a prominent position from his draw in stall five, and Starshiba should ensure this is a fair test from stall 1. He should be able to pounce and outstay the David O’Meara horse. He can be forgiven his Newcastle run when shaping in need of the outing after a gelding operation, and his latest run is strong form in the context of this race.
7.35 Windsor – Pistoletto (w/o Special Envoy) (1pt win – 7/1 generally)
PISTOLETTO ran a scorcher off a slow pace at Newmarket behind Koy Koy, and that form in defeat has been taken lightly by the market, so he gets a vote to capitalise on what will be a stronger run race than he had last time.
He steps back up in trip, which should suit given his form figures read 4 (continuously denied a clear run in a Class 2 at Kempton last year), 1, 5 and 1. This will be his first attempt at this trip on turf, but today’s assignment is a drop in class, and he should be able to follow home the useful favourite at least.
