Toro Strike can be big hit

- By GLENDALE

Toro strike can hit the target for Al Shaqab Racing and trainer Richard Fahey in the British Stallion Studs EBF Spindrifte­r Conditions stakes atp on te fr act.

The two-year-old son of top miler Toronado has shown plenty of promise in both his starts so far and is sure to progress further. he opened his account at Thirsk four weeks ago when he did the majority of the donkey work up front and kept on resolutely to hold The Bell Conductor by a neck.

Former jockey Phillip Makin has made a good start to his training career and can strike with Scuzeme in the Geoffrey Oldroyd – A Lifetime In Racing Handicap. Scuzeme has been performing with credit in similar race sand appears to relish a stiff finish – which he will get at the West Yorkshire track.

Cale Lane went close on her seasonal reappearan­ce over this six furlongs in early May, and can improve on that in the Napoleon’s Casino Bradford Fillies’ Handicap. Julie Camacho’s four-year-old went down by two lengths to highly sprung after making the running.

Polybius should relish the drop back to six furlongs for the Sky Sports Racing On Virgin 535 Handicap at Windsor. The eight-year-old faded in the closing stages when sixth to Cardsharp over seven furlongs at York five weeks ago.

Cherry Cola can complete a hat-trick in the visitmarat­honbet.co.uk Fillies’ Handicap. The three-year-old has taken on a new lease of life with wins on this course and at Yarmouth, after failing to score on her first eight starts. She has gone up a total of 10lb, but it may not be enough to stop her.

Ingleby Hollow looks a tasty propositio­n in the KC Ethical British Caviar Handicap at Catterick. The seven-year-old-usually runs a solid race and holds his form quite well.

You’re Cool can register his sixth success at Wolverhamp­ton by taking the Visit The Black Country Handicap. He won at Chelmsford a month ago, and will be primed for another bold show.
