Power Overpriced At Haydock Tomorrow

Pivotal Dream had a nightmare for us earlier this week and she never looked like landing a blow. I still think she is capable of winning a race, though on yesterday's performance you all probably think I am mad! Her yard is not in the best of form but when their horses start showing a bit more spark I will be back for more punishment with this filly.

The one I like tomorrow goes at Haydock, and this 2yo is trained by Joe Tuite, who saddled the winner of the Ebor and November Handicap, Litigant, for the same connections last season. Nuclear Power is by Equiano and he is out of a dam that has produced plenty of winners. His half brother Flaming Lamborghini won a Group 3 over 7f and earned an RPR of 108. He has other half siblings that were placed, and who won, as 2yos, so he is bred to be a speedy juvenile. His pedigree suggests that the extra furlong tomorrow should suit.

He was purchased for a whopping £115k after a very taking breeze up and he was backed as if defeat was out of the question on debut at Bath. Richard Kingscote didn't enjoy his finest hour though, getting trapped in a pocket on the inside and running into trouble on a couple of occasions. He has to ride for Tom Dascombe here, so Tom Queally takes over in the saddle.

He was a bit green early doors last time, which didn't enable him to secure a good racing position, and he will need to be a lot smarter away from stall 14 tomorrow. He ended up in 4th at Bath, beaten 6L, but Kingscote was easy on him once his chance was gone and I got the impression there was a fair bit more left in the tank. His current price of 16/1 looks way too big to me and I think he is capable of rewarding each way support with the step up to 6f sure to suit.
