Not had much time for the formbook over the last few days, but I’m at least bookending the working week with a couple of selections and you never know, one might be my first winner of the flat season …
1.40 Doncaster This looks to be the sort of race where CANARIA QUEEN does her best work. On good or better, in class 6s over 5f in the last 2 years she is 3541172 which is some of the best form on offer here, albeit it’s a super competitive event. Tim Easterby has been in great nick the last couple of days and at double figure odds, this 6yo could go well and will surely benefit from the pipe opener LTO.
CANARIA QUEEN // 0.5pt E/W @ 14/1 5 places (Bet365) BOG
2.15 Doncaster Another low grade affair and I should maybe have left it alone, but after going through it, I think YAFAARR is worth a bet. He may well have needed his run LTO (all form from breaks of 30 days or less) and that was only his second flat handicap – before that he’s finished a very close 3rd at Redcar. First time tongue tie goes on today and if that has an effect, then this 4yo looks to be open to improvement for Sam England who two places at Beverley yesterday so might just be coming into some form.
YAFAARR // 0.5pt E/W @ 18/1 5 places (Bet365) BOG
