Vincentti Could Relish Return To Brighton

Frozen Kiss ensured our losing run continued on Saturday but I think she ran a promising race. A tardy start didn't help her and she had to be switched out wide to make her effort. She actually looked as though she might mount a serious challenge around 2f out but she weakened in the final furlong, beaten just over 5L at the finish. She is a filly to keep a close eye on as she is sure to come on a huge amount for that initial outing. Sometimes losing runs are inevitable when trying to tip up horses at big prices, but by keeping stakes small you won't lose too much. And WHEN we do get back to winning ways the rewards will be worth the wait.

Tomorrow I like the look of Vincentti for Ron Harris at Brighton. He goes in the 3.15, a 6f class 4 handicap and the ground is currently described as good. This 6yo son of Invincible Spirit won on his only previous visit to Brighton, taking a 6f class 5 handicap (good to soft) in taking style off a mark of 72. He races off a mark of 73 tomorrow and this strong finisher should get a good pace to aim at with plenty of front runners in the field.

He was beaten out of sight on his seasonal comeback at Ascot, but he was also beaten 18L at Ascot before going on to win here last August. The Harris yard has been in superb form, with 2 of his last 3 runners winning at 6/1 and 8/1. As I stated earlier it is crucial that Vincentti gets a strong pace to aim at, and there are a few horses in the field that like to force the issue. Monumental Man, Jaywalker, Upstaging and Monarch Maid all like to get on with it, so hopefully it will be a breakneck pace. If Vincentti is fit and ready to go he can sit quietly out the back and stay on strongly at the finish. I think he is worth a couple of quid each way at 25/1 in a race that should be run to suit.
