I have decided to play in a couple of races today and after watching the first race I'm happy that the ground is riding pretty soft and that will suit the selections:
2.20 Newbury - Festoso - 1pt ew (available at 9/1)
2.50 Newbury - Izzibizzi - 1pt win (available at 16/1)
Both of these horses require plenty of cut in the ground to produce their best and with many of their rivals unlikely to find it in their favour I think that these two are worth a punt at the prices.
Festoso did us a favour the other month and has won a listed race over this trip in heavy ground and it clearly relishes these conditions. On form it has a bit to find with some and whilst I make War Artist the most likely winner we need to see whether its as good on this ground. High Standing has gone up considerably in the weights after winning well in some good handicaps but is another unproven on the ground and in this class. Prime Defender has done all its winning on fast ground and the only other one aside from the selection with form on soft ground is Madame Trop Vite and that is yet to prove it gets 6F. Hopeful of a big run from Festoso and the terms are good.
Izzibizzi is a little speculative, however it should never be the 16/1 outsider in this field. It won over C & D last year on soft ground and that day it had two of todays rivals behind it. It meets both of them on better terms today yet incredibly is 3 or 4 times the price. The trainer is not in the best of form so that is a concern but at the odds it has to be worth a small stakes bet.
