Milldean Flashes round on a fast track

Walthamstow Report 26 June 2007

Tuesday's card featured a modest graded card.

Banjo Ocean was a well supported jolly in the opening A9 and the result was not in doubt from an early stage as he made all. Special Skylar was crowded at the 2nd bend and kept on, showing some promise in second place.

Big Break broke best in the A8, but was outpaced by Annandale Dixie. Annandale Dixie led at the 2nd and went on to for a fair win. Unlikely Sam showed some middle pace and plugged on for second.

In the second A8, Green Jeanie broke fast but could not sustain the gallop and was headed between the last two bends and faded on the run in. Jeremy was slowly into his stride and got a clear run round the first two turns. He ran on and looked set for a comfortable success. He had time to have a dwell up, before straightening and taking the race from Green Jeanie, who had no more to give. Jeremy is not the first Fire Height Dan pup to screw up.

Hillcross Silk broke best and led in the A7. He was headed by Redec Liz at the second, but was in command again near the 3rd. There were plenty of easers and checkers in behind. Talavara Castle checked at the second and was tailed off. Scorpio Skippy showed some pace on the back straight, but eased at the 3rd. Quick Appeal eased at the 3rd and faded.

Matts Idea broke best in the second A7, but moved off at the first and ran poorly. Youre Some Tulip broke averagely, took a middle course and led from the 2nd to the third bend. Beardys Doogs showed some middle pace and held every chance after a slow start. Clonbrin Sara had a dwell up at the 3rd bend, but still led on the run in and went on to win. Ziggy Sawdust was slow away, crowded at the first, showed some middle pace, but checked at the 3rd. He finished a length second.

Bweeng Star made all to land the A6. He won very comfortably from Journey East,. who plodded on for second. The rest ran poorly.

Lode Star came away well in the S1, but Double Top showed the better early to lead from the second bend. Double Top was one paced from the 5th bend, but still won from Eye Onthe Jewel, who kept on for second. Lode Star eased and faded from the 5th bend.

Payback was an impressive winner of the second A6. He blasted out of the traps and it was all over very early. Old Guinness moved off and was bumped at the first and kept on for second. The favourite, Ballymac Daisy, was slow away and unfortunately knocked over at the first bend. Westgate Flash was badly crowded at the first after a modest break and kept on for third.

Call Again led at the first after an average break and made all in the A5. He had time to run very wide at the final bend and still win. Chivalrous plugged on for second.

July Captain did very well to reach the Graphite puppy final recently and was sent off a warm order in the A4. Jim The Butcher broke fastest and headed July Captain on the run to the first bend. July Captain took the bend better and Jim The Butcher faltered, moving off at the second. July Captain ran out a decent winner and Jim The Butcher pulled out a bit more on the run to hold on to second place, as Largo Lassie showed some  pace to the third bend and kept on quite well for third.

Addington Ruby cracked out and made all in the A2. Eye Onthe Gift stayed on for second. Siesta Moonlight walked out of the traps, eased at the bends quite badly, but showed all sorts of pace on the straights. Adamant Laser ran very disappointingly.

Milldean Flash was an impressive winner of the A1. After trapping modestly, he flew to the first bend and made all. War Of Attrition was crowded at the first, but stayed on well for second. 

Tinky Rolls was sent off a 12-1shot in the S2 finale, but made a mockery of those odds. She broke fast and held a long lead. She was running out of gas from the last bend and held on by a fast diminishing head as the pack closed. Marked Away plugged on best of the rest and just failed
