Today I've studied the horses running at Newmarket; there's some very interesting races and a good competitive field. I've picked out three horses at decent prices who should have a chance of performing at todays meeting.
Newmarket 2:55
SWISS DREAM
8/1 at various bookies
This three year old has a good chance in this fillies' handicap having won her maiden here 12 months ago. She has put in some solid efforts since then and has had two good runs recently. She does prefer the shorter trip and this step up to 6f will provide a strong challenge. Having Kieren Fallon on board is a positive move and he will know how to win from a difficult outside draw. Punters will probably favour Instance and Blanche Dubawi, and Swiss Dream will need to prove herself at the trip, but she enjoyed York last time out and has a solid e/w shout this afternoon.
Newmarket 4:05
WATCH AMIGO
7/1 at various bookies, 8/1 at StanJames
This Irish horse has won at Newmarket before and has performed brilliantly at 7f, winning by a long way at Doncaster last month at this trip. The 5 year old is lightly raced but has improved steadily and consistently, winning twice last season. Punters will be aware of the disappointing run a few weeks ago at Kempton but you can blame a wide draw and the 1m trip for that display. Todays race is back at the preferred 7f and the handicappers have dropped Watch Amigo a 1lb to 85. Kieren Fallon rides again on a horse who has a 50% strike rate at this distance, winning 3 of 6 races, and has another good chance today.
Newmarket 4:40
BLUE DESTINATION
11/2 at SkyBet
My final pick of todays meeting is Blue Destination who has a favourable handicap and ran a personal best time at Yarmouth earlier this month. This is a very very difficult race to call and includes 6 horses coming in off the back of victories. Blue Destination is a horse that is constantly improving and seems to have plenty to give here today. This will easily be one of the tightest races of the day and I think Blue Destination will run the favourite Danadana very close at the post.
