Newsboy fancies his nap, Seed Investor, to win at Newcastle and also hopes Sansanetti can score at Chelmsford and complete his Daily Double
SEED INVESTOR is fancied to back up a last-time-out course-and-distance score when he takes on 11 opponents for the Arc £1Million Bonus Has £150K Increase! Handicap (8.30) at Newcastle on Thursday.The Ivan Furtado-saddled three-year-old was having just his second start on the Tapeta surface when taking in a 0-60 handicap over Gosforth Park’s mile on August 29.
Sent off at 7-2 in a field of 14, my selection raced towards the back early on before making ominous-looking headway on the approach to the final quarter mile.Sent to the front by David Nolan a furlong out, Seed Investor ran on stoutly to the line to hold Cooperation by one length.The handicapper has reacted with a 4lb rise in the weights by my selection has plenty more to offer as he steps out on Tapeta for the third time, and Seed Investor gets the Nap vote to go in again.
At Chelmsford City, SANSANETTI is expected to give another good account of herself in the Betfair Plays Different Fillies’ Handicap (8.15).Denied a short head by Night Tara over course and distance on her penultimate outing, Stuart Williams’ daughter of Sottsass went one better at Lingfield Park four weeks ago and a 2lb higher mark for her half-length margin over San Francisco Bay looks fair.
