One flagged today who is worthy of nothing more than a minimal bet, but on pedigree alone he has to have a minor interest at wild odds of 33/1 currently available. He has shown nothing on his latest two starts, but he shown some form of promise under his former handler.
Midfield, headway from over 2f out, kept on but no impression inside final furlong
The selection is based on nothing more than a punt that his pedigree alone will see him outclass his OR of a lowly enough 67. By Wootton Bassett and out of Proviso, a Juddmonte mare who has produced two progeny to date – Sailing Solo, who clocked up winnings of over $300,000 with ten wins, five 2nd’s and five 3rd’s from twenty-eight runs in the United States, and then Boltaway who was a regular winner in Saudi Arabia, either side of being both a Listed and Group winner for Roger Charlton in the U.K. Added to the earnings Proviso herself amassed of over £1,000,000, and you get the idea they’re a talented bloodline.
This is a lowly race for anything with this sort of pedigree, and the fact he showed a sign of at least some ability when he was starting out under Paul Midgley, would suggest he shouldn’t have his current mark beyond him. He is impossible to make a solid case for, hence a reduced stake, but at wild odds he is well worthy of a minor interest than his natural make-up will see him at least competitive at this level.
Best of luck with your punting today,
