In recent years I was a fully paid up member of Bath Racecourse, which is a hop skip and a jump away from my front door. However per previous posts the venue just kept disappointing all of last year so decided relinquish my membership to pick and choose my attendance at Bath and switch my on course visits to All Weather venues instead.
This is my first visit this year and I was on the verge of not attending however there are a few class 4 races carded, the allure of some fit fillies (its ladies day) and ok’ish weather persuaded me to remove my eyeballs from my excel spreadsheet, get suited and booted and load up the wallet!
Bath 17:40
A tricky race first up which is unusual, typically the race planners like to get punters off to a win, then allow them to be fleeced by the on course bookies later in the card.
As I write this, I think we can oppose current market leader and veteran Barons Spy who seems a little high in the weights. Soap Wars holds and entry in the Ayr Gold Cup and should be watched in the market, Pick a little drops in grade, Restless Bay just can’t seem to get his head in front on turf but cannot be dismissed. Wooden King is outclassed along with Emiratesdotcom. Ebraam does most of his winning on the All Weather, but has put in some good turf efforts recently.
1st 2 Barons Spy (IRE) 13-2
Bath 19:10
Fillies races should always come with a government health warning but Picabo looks solid, Comptonspirit looks high in the weights. Sharpened Edge is interesting from a pace angle as she’ll get and uncontested lead and maybe hard to peg back..
1st 2 Comptonspirit 5-1
Bath 19:40
Area Fifty One looks solid in the company, beaten favourite Maher’s recent run was on the wrong ground so can be excused the poor performance. Pelham Crescent has previous here and might just surprise everyone at a big price. Huff And Puff should be watched very carefully in the market. Punted off the boards here earlier in the year, Amanda Perrett is currently on the cold trainers list. Brouhaha would be more of interest on the All Weather. Stranger Monster Munchie is another that should be watched in the market as his trainer is also on the cold list.
1st 7 One Lucky Lady 5-1
Bath 20:10
For those who are about to bet in this race … we salute you!
1st 8 Red Current 10-1
