LET’S GO DUTCH AT REDCAR
DUTCH ARTIST CAN STRIKE FOR NEW TRAINER ALAN BROWN IN SEASIDE TRACK’S SEVEN-FURLONG HANDICAP
Dutch Artist might be worth a little interest in a seven-furlong handicap at Redcar tomorrow.
Luck will be needed as a huge field has been declared at the Teesside circuit, yet this daughter of Dutch Art remains appealing handicapped for new trainer Alan Brown.
She rather lost her way for David O’Meara, so it was nice to see her kick on at Pontefract last time out on her third outing for Brown.
Dutch Artist did not get the breaks and ended up third, but it was reassuring to see her respond to Phil Makin’s persuasions when push came to shove.
A seven-furlong winner last May, she is good enough to make an honourable fist of things in the Racing UK In Glorious HD Handicap off a career-low mark of 66.
Kreb’s Cycle can lead the charge at Newcastle for Ian Williams and Josephine Gordon.
The three-year-old son of Helmet succumbed by just a head over seven furlongs at Gosforth Park on his last outing but is expected to thrive back over a mile. Kreb’s Cycle was well supported that day so any market move should be seized upon in the Heart North East Handicap.
Haydock racegoers can gain immediate dividends by supporting Bow Belles in the opening race.
Fortune has deserted Tim Easterby’s filly on her last two outings but she should make no mistake in the Racing Welfare Nursery Handicap.
The young daughter of Kyllachy looked above average at Ripon in July when she breezed two lengths clear in a reasonable fivefurlong maiden.
Bow Belles has not hit the target in four subsequent starts, but she was pinched for room in a Catterick nursery in September and was always up against it from there on in.
It was an even more painful story at Nottingham recently as her path was blocked close to the final furlong. Jockey Rachel Richardson had to switch wide to find daylight and, once she did, the response was really encouraging as Bow Belles flew home.
She only lost by a head to Kick On Kick On and would surely have won with a trouble-free dash to the line. Easterby’s juvenile is 3lb higher now, but that is far from the end of the world, while her victory at Ripon was achieved on soft ground so conditions should not be a problem.
