LOST IN THE MOMENT

The Top Spot goes to:

LOST IN THE MOMENT - 92, plus 19lbs. 8f Newbury June 10th

A comfortable winner of this competitive Class 5 h'cap, and give his trainer, this is already a grade or two higher. However, I would like it to confirm that mark in the better company before getting too carried away with this 92 mark. It is unlikely all of the 19lbs will be swallowed up after being reassessed, but a big rise and a rise in class could spell danger.

DOMINATION - 77, plus 10lbs. 12f Newbury June 10th

This also won a class 5 3yo h'cap, and being a bit more likely to stay close to that grade next time, could well follow up.

AKTIA - 80, plus 13lbs. 10f Haydock June 10th

This is yet another of the 3yo class 5 winners to get a clear margin over their Official mark. It was a good performance in a fairly good race, and as such, should be okay in similar next time.

AL AASIFH also deserves a mention on the same Haydock card, with a provisional mark of 80, well above Class 5 2yo maiden standards. That could go on to much better things.

Nottingham, June 10th was a pretty low grade affair, and explains why Memphis Man was top from a Class 6 h'cap over 6f. He got a rating of 75, plus 10lbs.

REQUISITE - 73, plus 12lbs. 6f Yarmouth, June 10th

Another from the lower ranks, but is much more likely to stay within the bounds of Class 5, given his starting point, so is justified in being given a Top Spot honour.

Volatilis is worth a mention, plus 10lbs for a win in a C6 6f non-h'cap, going up to 74. it too, could feature in similar if in the same mood.
