Horse Racing Pick / 11.02.2011

Southwell (13h45)

Pick : Verrazano

Won moderate C&D maiden latest; might be more to come. Ability first two starts over 7f on Polytrack before winning a moderate C&D maiden (mixed messages from the form); less exposed than most and might be more to come. Fair form in 7f Wolverhampton maidens and any fears that switch to this surface plus drop to 6f would not suit dispelled when off the mark over C&D last time. Fancied to follow up on handicap debut.

Odds : 3

Stake : 3/10

Book : Betfair

Result : -4

Wolverhampton (18h40)

Pick : Dart

Back to form over C&D latest; should go well again. Bounced back from rare poor effort at Southwell on New Year's Day (had been held up with the weather) with win over C&D next time; 2lb higher mark should not preclude another decent effort. Back to best for new yard to win handicap here (16.5f) in November and put Southwell blip behind her when landing C&D event last month. 2 lb rise not excessive and respected once more.

Odds : 4.8

Stake : 4/10

Book : Betfair

Result : -4
