Follow the money to Goodwood and Thirsk
"Libranno has been solidly backed from a high of [3.25] in to [2.3]."
Today's Follow The Money movers come from Goodwood and Thirsk respectively.
We start at Goodwood and the 16:00 a Group 2 race over six furlongs where Libranno has been solidly backed from a high of [3.25] in to [2.3]. Trainer Richard Hannon's domination of two-year-old races this season has been remarkable with a 25% strike rate to date. Today's selection is unbeaten in his first two starts which includes a Group 2 win at Newmarket. Although he now receives a 3lb penalty today for that win the market suggests that this will not deny the trainer of a hat-trick of wins in the Richmond Stakes.
We move to North Yorkshire for Thirsk's 16:10, a Fillies Handicap over a mile and four furlongs where Chicane has come in for some interesting support halving in price from [15.0] to [7.0]. The William Haggas trained three-year-old, a daughter of Derby winner Motivator, has yet to win but achieved a promising third in a Goodwood maiden. Her last start when going off as favourite was disappointing but today's further step up in trip could justify the trainer's confidence in the horse's ability.
Finally, back to Sussex and the 16:35 Nursery over seven furlongs, where Memen's price had been fluctuating all morning. The overall trend shows a drift from [3.5] out to [3.9]. Paul Coles two-year-old colt runs today in a very competitive race with some well respected rivals, some of which have posted wins already in their short racing career. With a combination of the trainer's poor strike rate at the track and carrying top weight, victory may be out of reach in today's contest.
Recommended bets:
Back Libranno @ [2.3] Goodwood 16:00
Back Chicane @ [7.0] Thirsk 16:10
Lay Memen @ [3.9] Goodwood 16:35
