Sparkey puts in a battling effort to land the top heat

Walthamstow Report 05 Feb 2008

Tuesday's card was a mixed card with some reasonable opens.

Sailor Lee ran out a decent winner of the opening A9. He showed decent early pace and pulled clear. He's a scopey dog and should do ok. Mistley Colonel showed promise in second after he was badly crowded at the start after a slow start. He ran on quite well and should not be long in winning.

Baran Kylie won a moderate A7, leading from the 3/4, he was one paced on the run in. Courts Ad Unique plodded on for 2nd after a slow start. Blarney Tulip was crowded at the 3/4 and faded after looking like he may get involved.

Julies Protege flew home in the 4th ARC TRIAL STAKES - Division 5. Making the most of a vacant trap on her inside (she was in trap 2), she banged out and made all. Stone Mole Spark did nothing wrong in second.

Tidy Hotspur set the early pace in the poor S4 event. She was headed at the 5th bend and faded on the run in. Appletown Donna led between the last 2 bends and went on to score. Mount Hill Girl was smashed up at the first bend, but still managed to finish 2nd.

Bell Classic paced up well land led round in the 4th ARC TRIAL STAKES - Division 4. Milldean Flash missed the break and done his running to get to them He led briefly, but faded on the run in. Broadacres Rob checked at a few bends, but his pace on the straight s took him to the front where it counted. He was returning from an 81 day break, but only time will tell if he stands up to the racing. Bell Classic kept on and grabbed second from the fading Milldean Flash.

Directors Vision led off the second and landed the A6. Blue Screamer led for a while, but was outpaced and crowded at the 2nd. She was also crowded at the 3/4, so did ok to finish second.

Cobra Striking showed his blinding early pace again and led round in the 4th ARC TRIAL STAKES - Division 3. He's not been at his best for some time now and so it was not too surprising to see him beat again here. Rooster Nosey ran really well last time and came and grabbed the fading Cobra Striking on the run in.

No too many saw out the trip well in the S1. Bell Imperial faded to the rear after leading to the 5th bend. Placid Jill took over at the 5th and went on to score. Mitzie rode a few bumps and stayed on for second.

Ronnies Earner made all to land the 4th ARC TRIAL STAKES - Division 2. War Of Attrition stayed on for 2nd. Barnfield Woody fell out the traps and could never get on terms.

True Frankie set the early pace in the 2nd S1 and was outpaced by Bold Talent on the run to the 4th bend. Bold Talent failed to see out the trip and True Frankie took over again and led on the run in. 

Kindred Sparky put in a game effort to land the 4th ARC TRIAL STAKES - Division 1. Mystical Haka showed the better early pace on this occasion, but Kindred Sparky gamely stuck his neck out and landed a battling win. Kilkenny Lonjack stayed on for 3rd and Legal Major did not come home well after easing at the 3rd bend. Mustang Garcia was another who was not fluent at the 3rd bend and he faded on the run in. 

Winch Whippet made all to land the A5. He ran wide at every opportunity and held on by a head from Baran Red, who was just plodding on for second. Podges Dilemma moved off and was badly crowded at the second bend after a slow start.

Droopys Madam made all to land the S2 finale. She ran wide at the bends and held on by half a length from Gilbeyhall Rodge. Gilbeyhall Rodge was particularly unlucky as he was smashed up at the first bend.
