Can England do it?

So the English are one step away from a quarter final meeting with either Holland or Portugal but firstly they have to overcome Ecuador in Stuttgart. Sven starts with his fourth different starting line up since the games began and doesn't seem to know whos best to play at right back and introduces Michael Carrick in a very defensive cautious move. England should be good enough to defeat the South American minnows but I fear this will be the last win Sven will get to celebrate as English manager. Enjoy the game where ever you're watching it.

Well done to Maltese Flagship you finished second at 11/1 as predicted on yesterday's blogsite. He's a fantastic prospect and certainly a star of the future.

Doofy Doo - 8:36 - 20/1

In strong consistent form this 4 year old grey colt Doofy Doo has won once and been placed in three of his last five races.Has only been out three times in the month of June and registered a fine win on good going in Hong Kong in a special allowance race for 4 to 7 year old colts and fillies on the 12th of June. Inconsistent form on yielding but total stats reveal he's won in 6 and been placed in 19 of his 48 races so far. Good each way chance.

Midnight Sonata - 9:36 - 12/1

This colt is a quick learner and already after just a month and a half he's earned £231 for the Dallas1 stable. In 24 races he's won in 5 and been placed in 13 with recent form being very strong. Rarely runs on firm going as he'll face tonight. Last time out on this going he finished 6th out of 14 but that was back on the 24th of May, just over a month later and he's learned alot since then and should do well this evening.

Serenity Whisper - 9:55 - 22/1

This 2 year old fillie certainly lives life in the fast lane. She normally races over fast going and has tasted victory 5 times in a short 26 race career. Originally bought by Tipperary Bloodstock she was sold to Dallas1 for £45 who in turn sold her on to derekw10 for a massive £340. Thats how good the top owners rate her.Tonight she comes into this race on the back of three placed finishes. She hasn't had a win now in three weeks but if things go her way should could run much better than tonight's odds suggest.
