Nothing Of Interest Today

I had a decent look at the card at Kelso but there was very little worth getting excited about and I'm happy to just take a watching brief.

Saturdays selection ran a fair race and aside from the winner (which has stepped up markedly on anything it has shown before) the next five home were on my shortlist of six. I suppose this is of little consolation given Catch Me has finished out of the frame in fifth, but it does give some kind of indication that I was right in suggesting that this trip tends to be a specialist one!

If you take Solwhit out of the equation, all the other two milers have struggled badly and finished well beaten. I think a stronger pace would have suited my selection, and I have to admit to being a little disappointed that the likely pace angle which I had identified, has not materialised, and has to go down as a misread on my part!
