Two 2-y-os for Winter-Watching.

A couple spotted on Thursday evening..........it wasn't that difficult really!


First up, TIGER'S TALE, having his second try on this course. He made a mess of the start, slightly slow and swerving, then made nice progress up the rail and when they met the junction of the tracks he made a dart forward and was closing at the finish. He is bred to get in the region of ten furlongs and though he didn't appear to get home over the mile in his previous effort here he was ridden more prominently on that occasion. If he turns up here in the near future over a bit further than this seven he could well be of interest. (he has no entries at the moment)


T'other one was GUAVA, one of the lesser lights of the Hannon 2-y-o battalions. Weak in the market (100/30 > 9/2), might have missed the break slightly and was soon racing at the back, made headway 2 out and ran on really well, claiming second close home but not able to get to the winner. I would think he would be well suited by Wolverhampton's tight seven furlong course, we shall see; in the mean time he has an entry for Thursday over seven at Brighton. The sharp seven sounds ideal but not every horse enjoys the switchbacks of Brighton.
