Wednesday Racing Tips from Andy Holding

DROMANTINE (best price 10/1) shaped with an immense amount of promise on his debut over today’s C&D and hailing from a stable whose first-time-out juveniles often come on significantly for their initial experience, Micky Halford’s filly can find the necessary improvement to be a bigger factor on her return to the Co Kildare venue.

Only a 10/1 shot despite being posted out in stall 22 here 13 days, unsurprisingly the daughter of Lope De Vega had to sacrifice plenty of ground in the early stages getting over from her draw and by the time the field had arrived at the halfway point, she still had more behind than in front. However, she picked up nicely in the latter part of the contest to finish a never-nearer ninth and in doing so she left the impression she would take away valuable memories for future reference. Proven on the ground and better drawn this time around, she makes most appeal at the morning prices of those with form on the board and she deserves to be played accordingly.

On the evidence of what took place here on Sunday, the stands’ side was very much the place to be on the straight track, so with that in mind, SWIFT FLIGHT (best price 9/2) looks well placed to take advantage of his high draw at a course where his form figures read 64322.

Yet to add to his sole victory last season in five starts this term, Ken Condon’s gelding, however, has been knocking at the door and that was very much the case here last time out when he was unlucky to bump into a very well handicapped horse. Take away the runaway winner and he would have beaten the rest of the field by a long way and with his time figure backing up the view it was a fair race for the grade, a repeat of something similar should see him right in the thick of the action once more.

TYPEWRITTEN (best price 11/4) has transformed herself into a decent all-weather operator in recent times and following a career-high effort in victory at Wolverhampton last time out, Tom Ward’s filly can register win number four on an artificial surface.

Racing in the first-time visor at the Midland venue, the daughter of Wrote settled beautifully towards the rear of the field and then with a sweeping movement rounding the home turn, she went by the entire field in the twinkling of an eye before staying on strongly to repel the late rally of Sundayinmay. Looking back at the data from 27 days ago, the numbers reveal she ran the last circuit in an extremely smart time for the grade and with the runner-up going on to boost the form since, there’s no reason to suggest she won’t follow suit.
