Droopys Hamlet adds another to the tally

Walthamstow Report 15 Jan 2008

Tuesday's card was a moderate graded card.

The opening P9 was a very moderate race. Hillcross Shaker led a field of slow starters, was headed by Jordinho at the 3rd bend, but came back to lead as Jordinho faded on the run in. Hillcross Shaker was very one paced on the run in. Imperial Singer kept on for second.

Jos Cigar made all in the H1. He looked to be faded from the last hurdle, but as Castleivy Sand close up, he pulled out more.

Dapper Chick made most of the running, going wide at the first, in the A7. Julies Flight also ran wide and drove the first two bends well. She stayed on and led near the line.

The S4 was a shocker. Courage Best led for a few bends before Airtech Choice took over at the 4th bend. They all bunched up between the last two bends and Spooky Pacific had a fight on the run in. Chloes Molly came from last to first to lead at the last bend. Caseys Winner plugged on for second.

Our Dog Brandy ran out a decent winner of the A7. In a field of slow starters, he paced up best and led round. He pulled clear and looked set to win by a wide margin. However, he ran very wide at the last bend and allowed Bling to close the final margin to 3/4 of a length. Bling was modestly away and stayed on and was clear of the rest. Snap ran rails and collided with Armistice at the start.

Robbies Kewell made all and ran out a decent winner of the A6. Form Of Love kept on ok for second. There was a pile up behind as Form Of Love moved off and bumped Shan Rica, and a domino effect caused the pile up. 

Annes Sian made all and landed the S2. Sandy Lane stayed on and finished a neck second and did not seem to be getting on with it properly.

Beluga ran middle and led up early in the A5. Many Memories led from the second bend and won. He was a bit one paced. Beluga kept on for second. The favourite Clonbrin Mai did suffer crowding on a few occasions, but was never travelling at any stage.

Butchers Miss led up in the A4, but was outpaced by Begin To Hope, who led from the 3/4. He's a little inconsistent, but is capable on his day. Butchers Miss kept on for second.

Bell Imperial set a good early pace in the S1, but could not sustain the gallop and faded after being headed at the 5th bend. Killeacle Hobbs took over at the 5th and was run out of it late by Silbury Squirrel.

Milldean Tyco led up in the A3, but was dragged back & badly crowded at the second bend. After an average start Droopys Hamlet paced up well and was second when left clear at the second bend. Maneen Haka started slowly and got a very clear run and followed him home.

Lockdale Duke showed decent pace to the bend after a moderate start in the A2. Julies Protege got a nice clear run and led at the second bend. Lockdale Duke headed her between the last two bends before Julies Protege came back for more and grabbed the lead late on the run in. 

Daphs Domino set the early pace in the S3 finale. Roxie ran on strongly after a slow start and pulled clear from the 5th bend.
