War Poet is fancied to go well at York this afternoon
Today's three Follow The Money selections come from the afternoon meetings at Newbury and York...
We start at Newbury where in the 14:00 Oaks Trial there has been a marked drift on Winsili from 2.68/5 out to 3.185/40. She did run well at the end of last season and stayed on in good style over a mile off a slow pace however she looks poor value. She should just about get the trip however it's not guaranteed and in the first time hood she'll surely be held up to help her to settle. Her two market rivals Valtina and The Lark both look to have some promise and The Lark's trainer won this race last year so it seems likely he'll be targeting it again this year and have her cherry ripe.
We go to York now where in the 16:25 there has been a serious move for War Poet who has been backed from 19.16n/a in to 11.010/1 for David O'Meara. He likes soft ground and his last win came under identical circumstances off just 2lbs higher. He's gone well fresh in the past and the booking of David Bergin is a massive boost with him taking a more than useful 5lbs off. It's always tough in these big fields at York but he's shown himself a classy individual with the manner of his wins and the long straight is sure to play to his strengths.
Staying at York and in the following race Mombasa has been well supported from 6.611/2 in to 5.39/2. He's another one who'll enjoy the ground and this trip should be one he'll relish. He made his seasonal reappearance at Leicester and stayed on really well behind a useful sort over two furlongs less. Although a bit ambitious he's actually still in the Derby which shows that he's thought of slightly better than a 78 rated handicapper. When added to the fact the trainer has been in cracking form of late there's a lot going for him and he's surely a worthy favourite.
