Walthamstow Report 02 Feb 2008

Saturday's card was an ok graded card.

Lins Dragon made all in the opening A8. She was not fluent at the third bend, but had plenty in hand of this field. Centaur Fuzzums stayed on until he was crowded at the 3rd bend, before fading near the line. He still held second place. Noirs Heidi attracted support in the ring, but could not get on terms.

Greenfield Fawn made all in the S2. She pulled clear and ran out a decent winner. Time Connection was not fluent round the last two bends, but plugged on for second.

Marcus Brutus set a decent early pace in the H1, but was run out of it late as he faded near the line. Castleivy Sand broke modestly, but stayed on and led near the line. Old Guinness was sent off favourite on the back of a couple of decent trials, but ran poorly.

In a field of slow starters, Glengarry showed the best early pace and led round. He faded near the line and was caught late on by  Nellies Choice. Nellies Choice had a dwell up and held on by a head.

Sparkys Stag showed decent pace to the bend in the A5 and made all. Townhill Blues got a clear run early, was not fluent round the final two turns and plodded on for second. Buckland Wally has surely had enough now and deserves to be retired.

True To Rachel led up in the A2, but could not sustain the gallop and faded from the last bend. Despite easing at the 1st bend, Pennys Viva.kept on and led on the run in. Perceptive Pacey was a bit unlucky as he was crowded between the last 2 bends. He only went down by a neck.
