Melton, Friday 11 July

Form Analysis by Rob Auber

Race 1:

 

OVERVIEW: CINQUANTA (8) disappointed last start after leading and found wanting in the home straight. Gets a nice trailing draw and with a soft trip must be given another chance. WRITTEN IN SILK (2) drawn well and will be sitting just off the speed. Finished off well late last start and has each way claims.  HOME AND DRY (7) racing well but needs to overcome a wide draw and with a suitable trip is amongst the main chances. EYE SEE AMOUR (11) enjoyed a soft trip last start and finished off strongly to win. Sure to be doing his best work late. POLLY PEACHUM (1) ANGEL OF ANGER (3) and ITTAKESLUV (4) are speedy types and could be in this for a long way in a tricky race.

Race 2:

 

OVERVIEW: STAR RULER (11) started favourite last start and was narrowly beaten and is getting fitter with each run. Might get a good trail into this and should be finishing off hard late in this. BLUE OCEAN (10) consistent pacer that always gives his best. Just run down last start and should be fighting out the finish again. FAIR CHANCE (9) runner up last start and from a nice trailing draw will be running on late. Definite chance. OHHEMMJAY CRESCO (1) placed last start and draws well and sure to get every chance from the pole position. PICKLE IT (7) wasn’t far away last start and does have good gate speed and would not surprise here and might give a big sight.
