I do get bored just bashing out figures for every race on offer so today I have returned to an almost basic Fineform master formula rating to get my own tissue to compare with the early market
.
Ludlow (going forecast S with some GS) RP Spotlight selects Malaita ( 1 pundit agrees 12 oppose)
3.00 Market expected 09.50* no's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 indicating an open contest. Theoretical strong fav 7/4, possible contender 7/2 to 7/1, not expected longer than 7/1.
1*. 17 = 4/1 Fineform fair odds (7/1) Tequila Blaze 2 tips (D). LTO 24, +10lbs? -1 cls*, Mr R Lee-Eadie (10) up today. 2/7 -5 1/2L, ridden edged right no extra approaching last kept on.
2*. 13 = 11/2 (7/1)
3*. 15 = 9/2 (9/4) Terresita. 5 tips. LTO 19, +5lbs, +1cls?, same jock (10). 1/6 +16L*, travelled strongly pushed along went clear home turn easily*
4*. 8 = 10/1 (5/1)
5*. 15 = 9/2 (3/1) So Said I. 3 tips. LTO 33, =egt, +1cls? T Scudamore up today. 4/16 -8L? not fluent ridden headed soon no chance with winner lost 2nd lost 3rd finish?
6. 5 = 16/1 (12/1)
7. 7 = 11/1 (25/1)
8. 5 = 16/1 (14/1)
Comment: Doesn't look easy for punters on paper so I would have to dutch the three named.
ATR form verdict in comparison
The unexposed TERRESITA bolted up on her handicap debut at Fakenham at the beginning of the month and she merits the utmost respect today, despite an 8lb rise in the ratings. Glimpse Of Gala has won two of her last three starts and the progressive mare may still have more to offer, while Tequila Blaze edges out Malaita and So Said I to be the pick of the remainder.
Top Tip: TERRESITA (3)
Watch out for: GLIMPSE OF GALA (2)
