A fairly quiet week on the 'interesting run' front but I did notice a couple at Newmarket at the Friday evening meeting.
It is a touch difficult to describe the run of KALENDAR GIRL who went off joint-favourite for this event, a ten furlong Class 5 (0-70) handicap, she travelled very well until meeting minor interference about two out and then she dropped away a little, as if not getting the trip, but by the time they got to the uphill finish she was running on again. The trainer/jockey combination of Musson and Ahern suggests that there may be more to come.
She has two entries next Wednesday both over stiff miles (Sandown and Leicester) and she runs off the same mark. I'm not convinced she didn't get home over the July course but she will be worth looking out for in midweek.
The other to take my eye was AMOYA in the lucky last, a seven furlong Class 5 (0-75) handicap. Completely un-fancied at 40/1 and ridden by a 5lb. claimer, Ashley Morgan, she was denied a clear run approaching two out and had to be switched left to see some daylight, any chance she had was gone but she kept on well to the line without a lot of effort from the saddle. She is still a maiden after 12 runs but showed enough here to suggest a small race, possibly over further on softer ground, is within her capabilities.
She has been dropped a pound and has two entries next week, one over 7f. at Yarmouth on Monday and the other over 9f. at Sandown on Wednesday. Worth a look I feel.
