Friday Double...


Newmarket 14:00 - Managua

7f, Class 1 Wetherby's Stakes (Group 2) - Good to Soft

Mick Channon sends out the talented 2 year old Managua in an attempt to win the Wetherby's Stakes Group 2 on day three of the July meeting at Newmarket. An impressive, improver when landing a Class 4 over today's trip at Sandown, this likeable colt looks certain to improve again and has ideal under foot conditions to run a massive race. With the form of both his two starts working out well, he is taken to give the Dazzler a great ride and The Analyst a "Massive" priced winner. (Early Price 8/1)


Ascot 15:35 - Kalahari Gold

7f, Class 3 Handicap - Good to Soft

The in-form Andrew Balding saddles Kalahari Gold for his Handicap bow at Ascot this afternoon. An impressive winner of his maiden at Sailsbury (The 2nd that day has since come out and won at Lingfield) Balding's gelding looks well treated here and can follow up under conditions that are sure to suit. William Buick follows this 3 year old to Ascot rather than stay at HQ where he was so impressive aboard another Balding horse Donegal yesterday. (Early Price 5/2)
