Racing

Welcome to Friday. Aren't these short weeks great? The Chester May festival finishes up today and then the weekend football starts with playoff first legs tonight, and the apparently boring Premier League still waiting to find out who wins the league and which other two sides get relegated on the last day of the season. Enjoy the sunshine today then nip in and watch some evening racing in between cooking the sausages on the barbie. Then finish up watching Sergio try to defend his lead at Sawgrass.

5.45 Aintree Your Amount 7/4 (WON +4.35 - Travelled very nice and took the lead on two from home. Stumbled at the last but saw it home nicely)
Alan King's gelding has been progressing nicely through the winter, seemingly preferring faster ground and looked at home over 2m4f at Ayr last time out - the latter fact can be applied to only Latanier of the rest of the field. Robert Thornton rode him to his maiden victory, so his return to the pilot's seat today is another good pointer.

7.10 Hamilton Princess Lomi 11/4 (2nd +3.35 - Could never quite get to the eventual winner, but will win again)
This fillie has put in two consistent performances over 10f so far this season, each time finishing like she would get a slightly longer trip. An extra 2 furlongs tonight and I expect to see the ever reliable Tom Eaves win this up the Hamilton hill.
