6:25 Windsor - Speculative Bet (6th July)


A large field of two-year-olds over 6f. Edification looks a fair sort although the draw isn't ideal. David Elsworth knows a decent horse when he seems one and Justice Rock may be worth a second chance. This son of Acclamation was a short price on debut at Nottingham but showed little ability. That was most likely due to inexperience although any juvenile can run a poor race on debut. Robert Hg has a number of talented horses in his ownership and after a month-long break and stepping up to 6f this bay colt is worthy of note. Bookmakers offer 20/1, which looks a tempting price and I wouldn't be surprised to see this horse bred by Ashbrittle Stud backed. Worth an each-way bet at the odds and stronger claims if returning 10/1 & less SP.


Justice Rock 25/1 Unp 

Note: Clearly limited ability.

6:00 Windsor - Speculative Bet (29th June)


A Median Auction Maiden Fillies Stakes race over 5f 10y on good going. A big field of sixteen two-year-olds and a few fair sorts for this grade from leading trainers. Belvoir Bay, Lil's Joy & Zebedee's Girl have ability. 

Once again we have our eye on one of the debutantes. 

David Elsworth is a canny trainer and knows a decent horse when he sees it and Justice Lass could have potential. This Irish daughter of Canford Cliffs out of a twice-winning Listed-placed mare races in the familiar silks of Robert Ng. This February foal, a bay filly, was withdrawn from the sales. 

It is intriguing to consider that she held an entry for one of the major two-year-old races at Royal Ascot. Perhaps that lofty tag was nothing more than pie in the sky but it could well be a sign of confidence. Considering Justice Lass is priced 16/1 with bookmakers she could well be worth an each way bet or backed with hope of being gambled to gain a no-lose bet. 

Not the easiest of races to win on debut but a low draw and potential could have a fight chance. 

Justice Lass 16/1 5th

Note: clearly has ability and if not for being a touch inexperience would have finished in frame
