Top Tips 17/7/13

Ehtedaam

2:10 Catterick - Fathsa 10/11

Think he might be a little short but the reason i added him is simple. He drops down in grade, but most markedly is that He was at Ian William until May, where he changed trainer and went to Patrick Morris, but 2 runs later he is back with Williams after disappointing in those runs. He will be very hard to beat. Red Cape is probably best of the rest.

6:05 Sandown  - Storm Trooper 2/7 - £12.86

As with quite a few of Hannon's 2yo's, Storm Trooper would of learnt a lot from his first race, and will come on from that. He is the horse to beat in this. Could be the start of a good evening for Richard Hughes.

6:35 Sandown - Exceptionelle 5/4 (nap)

Richard Hughes looks like he can land a quickfire double here at Sandown where he partners Exceptionelle for Roger Varian. Although she has not raced over 5f, she has shown some promise, and this drop in trip could be the answer for her. And most notably Hughes has elected to ride her over his boss's horse Miss Diva. Which suggests there could be more to this horse.

7:40 Sandown - Ehtedaam 9/4 - £32.50

This drop back in trip will suit him after not looking like he stayed the 1m 2f. Juvenal looks very good, but has been off the track since September last year and will certainly improve for the run. Not been out of the places, but Ehteaam gets my vote 

8:20 Killarny - Head Waiter 12/1 e/w

Cara's Oscar and Letherbelucky  head the market, but Head Waiter might be one to consider. Stats over Course is 1, 5, 1, 2, 2, 1, PU.  The 5th was a flat race so think that can be dismissed. And the PU i am not sure why but could be the soft ground. He hasn't been in great form recently, and the return to hurdles might rejuvenate him. Of the above stats, if you just take out the stats for hurdles here, then it reads 1, 1. The last win was in a slightly better race. But that was a couple of years ago now. So i am taking a chance on him, but i think he could run a very good race.
