Ukobach hiding a ferrari engine!

How frustrating some horses can be! Take Ukobach for example, a 3 year old colt with a 50% place to run ratio after 47 runs, such a return is admirable. However the other 50% doesn't look too hot, this horse has won just 4 times and while it comes so close over and over again it just hates the spotlight! Tonight at 8/1 win number 5 may well be on the cards in an average field.

Rested since the 11th of this month this colt from the Abaddon stable generally likes firm going and in 9 career runs on this going has won one, been placed in 6 and finished outside the places twice. Place number 7 on the cards this evening in the 8:12 race on Getminted Racing.

Wild horse has the power in the legs
Freedom Straight has always taken my eye and to be honest I'm not really sure why, in 22 races he's been generally poor, winning just twice and being placed in a paltry 5. However something strange happens when his virtual hoofs touch the virtual fast going. In an unimpressive career the high points clearly occur on fast, take for example his race on the 9th of January when he finished just half a length behind 'Live Well' to claim second in the USA. Odds of 13/2 are shorter than I would have liked but still worth an each way shout.

In your room, in great form
What a solid performer this 4 year old is. In 10 runs to date 'In your room' has won 4 times and been placed in 3. In the last five races he's won once and been placed in three highlighting his consistency despite running over different types of going. This will be his first time out on firm but the 4/1 shot is well capable of adapting. He runs in the 9:55 and could even win.
