WON’T MINZ WORDS
MINZAAL (3.00) can continue his relentless rise for thriving Owen Burrows in the 1895 Stakes at York.
The colt ended a terrific 2021 with a good third to Creative Force in the Champions’ Sprint at Ascot.
The speedster should be even better at four so he can comfortably account for a high-class field.
Charlie Appleby remains in top gear so I’m on GLOBAL STORM (1.50) in the Jorvik
Handicap. The gelding produced a personal best when third to the talented Hukum in a Grade 2 at Meydan.
The five-year-old should still be in peak form so he can make his class tell in these calmer waters.
BERGERAC (2.25) can lay down the law for Kevin Ryan in the trappy Churchill Tyres Handicap.
The sprinter ran another stormer when edged out by the useful Gale Force Maya at Newmarket.
The gelding has a respectable record at this venue so can take advantage of an attractive mark.
EMILY UPJOHN (3.35) can book her place in the Epsom Oaks by landing the Musidora Stakes. John Gosden’s filly looks a potential superstar after bolting up from Follow That Star at Sandown.
The Newmarket Ace can double-up with SAMBURU (4.10) in the Paddy Power Handicap. The three-year-old stayed upwardly mobile by decisively defeating Taratari in a Salisbury novice.
The Kingman colt looks a real Group-race performer so he can make light of a stiff opening mark.
GLOBAL AGREEMENT (2.05) can extend Milton Harris’ superb run over the Jumps at Newton Abbot.
The hurdler can gain due compensation for trying to live with the progressive Bourbali at Plumpton.
GUN MERCHANT (7.10) looks dangerous for Anne Hamilton on Hotelier’s Racenight at Perth.
The chaser shaped like his turn was near when giving Hidden Commander most resistance at Kelso.
TAXMEIFYOUCAN (7.40) can make the bookmakers pay dearly in the Salutation Handicap Hurdle.
