MAID IN HEAVEN

Leicester, 1st June - 7f

MAID IN HEAVEN - 88, plus 12lbs

This came from a Class 4 maiden, and 88 is a very respectful mark to which to begin a h'cap career from. I cannot imagine that the new OR will be anywhere near this, so one to keep an eye out for next time out, at C4 level of course.

Foxy Music - 85, plus 10lbs from the same Leicester card, only at 5f this time.
Again this is a very good mark for a Class 5 h'cap, so may well be worth an investment at a similar level?

Nottingham 2nd June - 5f
PERFECT BLOSSOM - 68, plus 12lbs.

This at a low level 3yo h'cap, but unlikely to rise anywhere near that amount, so if kept to a similar grade and venue it should have a bit in hand?

FORJATT deserves a mention for getting the third best speed figure on this card, which for a 2yo shows a bit of promise of better things to come. It was only just a couple of speed points behind the much vaunted RIO DE LA PLATA, and that horse is rated at a couple of lbs below his mark of 114. Whether he can follow up on this though, is open to question, but they may have got him back to somewhere near his 2yo form?
(Note - do not confuse raw speed figures with the final h'cap rating!)

Ripon 2nd June - 6f

TAJNEED - 100, plus 10lbs
This deserves top spot here, coming from the Class3 sprint h'cap. They may get another similar prize before having to go for a C2 h'cap. Clearly in very good form and will win again.

Tropical Bachelor is obviously better than selling class, with a 74 over the 12f trip. a reasonable Class 6 h'cap should be within his scope with that mark.

Yarmouth 2nd June - 7f

COLLECT ART -63, plus 12lbs
However, this was at the low mark of 51 in a class 6 h'cp for 3yo's. Probably a reflection on how poor the rest of the card was for this to be the relative quickest on the night? It may follow up, but more likely everything fell right for him this night and it will be a long time before his turn comes around again?

No rated race on the 3rd June

No 'Afterthoughts' either ... too busy with the Epsom Oaks and Derby ratings!
