Noirs Dennis wins in the FTON

Walthamstow Report 22 Nov 2007

Thursday's was a competitive graded card. 

Find It Out showed some pace to the first bend in the A9 after an average start, and led between the first two bends. Clune Ted made a decent race of it after a slow start, she showed some pace to the first bend and only went down by half a length. Find It Out is by Lady Be Wise, dam of Who Needs Wings.

Ravestock Woody made all in another modest hurdle race, a H2. Touchwood Dream came to challenge and fought with the race at his mercy.

Twice a beaten favourite on his two outings to date, All Shaped Up made no mistake on his 3rd attempt in the A8. He broke well and pulled well clear, winning by 6 3/4 lengths. Choice Jock was outpaced early and stayed on to finish a remote second. All Shaped Up is another by Lady Be Wise.

London Pride set the early pace in another shocking contest, an S4. Jo Jo Rumble stayed on after a slow start and led from between the last two bends. London Pride was one paced after being headed and finished 4L second.

Shan Rica made most of the running in the A7. She was caught late by Sandy Lane, who appeared to have a glance at her rival as she passed her near the line. Sandy Lane is by Moscow Sandy, the 2006 Arc finalist.

Sparkys Stag was sent off 4/7 fav in the A6 and made short work of her rivals leading early and kicking clear for a facile success. Ringtale Lad plugged on to finish 6 3/4 L second.

Another shocking staying contest followed, as S3. Mash It Up made all and followed up on her recent S4 win. She held on by just a head from Daphs Domino.

Katies Crystal started well and led round in the A5. After a slow start, Aero Blackjack drove the first two bends well, ran on and led from the third. He won very well for what was his first win from 9 attempts. A recent 4th to Westmead Tina highlighted his chance back in graded company. There will be other days for Katies Crystal, who possesses early pace.

Roll Over Moll made all in the A4. Beaten is her last 11 races, she was a shock 8/1 winner here. Rhias Beauty was badly crowded at the second bend and kept on well for second.

Airtech Spur showed decent early pace in the S2, but failed to see out the trip. Silbury Squirrel stayed on and led from the last bend. The favvy, Bell Tempest was never travelling and ran a shocker.

Noirs Denis was an impressive winner of the A3. Fear Mykeo led him up early, but faded from the 3rd bend on her second run back from seasonal rest. Offshore Mill nabbed a remote second late on.

Bell Classic was another decent winner in the A2. He ran a bit wide throughout, but had far too much pace for his rivals. Blackmagic Rose plugged on to finish 6L second.

Reverse Pace landed the A1, although not in his normal trap to line style. Ringview Rascal set the early pace, but failed to get home and was headed between the last two bends. Reverse Pace stayed on and took it up at his point. Armies Plan plodded round and finished second. The favourite, Blackstone Billy, was pretty disappointing. I had a rare night off and was pleasantly surprised to see Reverse Pace available at 4/1 on Betfair, having only been 9/4 on the track.

Snappy Girl destroyed her rivals in the S1 finale. Although most of her runs are in marathons, she recorded a 39.78 last June, so was down in class here. Droopys Delia stayed on to finish a remote second.
