After getting Lucky in the Sexual Health Stakes today's selection is back on track

At Pontefract in the opening race at 2.30 I am interested in Verinco in both markets in this nursery. The selection is talented but has his idiosyncrasies notably when unseating his pilot close home at Hamilton when he swerved near the line. Today he has a big weight but he can go close if putting his best foot forward.

Today's Selection:

Pontefract, 2.30, Verinco, Win and Place

At Brighton today in the 3pm Game Lady should have a good chance to follow up her success at Windsor a week ago. This daughter of Mind Games put up a good display last week beating High Reach easily and in my view this race is less competitive. At present her price is [2.12] on the exchange which appears reasonable.

Today's Selection:

Brighton, 3pm, Game Lady, Win
