DONCASTER 4:40 – MISSISSIPPI – 11/4

Another Wise Kid was a selection the other day and it was mainly based on one piece of form which I have copied below. Mississippi was 2 lengths in front of AWK this day.

“AWK – His last race when 3rd behind Enrol is also very encouraging as that one has just been nosed out of a top end handicap off 9 higher. The 2nd hasn’t been seen since but the one behind AWK (Klynch) won his next 2 races with one being as a selection on here as part of the big treble we landed. You can even go down to Hopes n Dreams and tax free in 7th and 8th who have won or came very close to since. The form is rock solid. Another Wise Kid didn’t win or place on the day of selection but he did keep up the consistency of being not far off (around 2 lengths) in ultra competitive fields.  Mississippi is still lightly raced and is well off the first rating it got after a maiden win for meehan. O’Meara is becoming a dab hand with these types and it’d be a big surprise if it didn’t still have plenty left to bring out.

SALISBURY -2:50 – TOP COP 9/1 – POWERFUL WIND 10/1. 

I think the bookies are taking a chance making gladiatrix and asian trader favourites based on recent form when meeting each other. It’s understandable to side with the young unexposed ones but you can be sure that this will be competitive with the extra pot they’ve laid out and there is a few who are down in grade and have come into a bit of form before this. Both Top Cop and Powerful Wind are well in off their best and show good form figures on quicker ground compared to easier 🙂

Powerful Wind’s career form handicapping on 5f with firm in description reads 1111. He’s a massive 13lbs off his best and that was only last season. A busy run with the handbrake on all winter on the sand has seen him plummet.

Top Cop career form with firm in description reads 213072. Out of them, the 5f form is 12. His form on anything easier reads 890740.  He bumped into Forest Edge last time out but did stumble at the start and raced keenly so may have been a bit closer. Either way, the form isn’t bad at all for this.

Incidentally Rebecca Romero goes here too and you probably couldn’t have picked a better field for her in terms of the quicker the better what she needs early on to be in with the greater chance of catching them. There is potential here for Top Cop, Asian Trader, Powerful Wind and Gladiatrix to all be scrapping for the lead. I don’t feel I can justify putting Rebecca Romero up anymore but i’ll be watching on betfair – the quicker they go, the more I’ll put on but for now the other 2 are good value against 2 favourites that may not be much more better than this grade or you’d have liked to have seen a bit more already from both.
