Joey's Destiny was an unlucky loser for us earlier this week. He travelled really well in rear throughout the race and Keniry looked to have plenty of horse under him as they entered the final two furlongs. He waited for a gap that never came up the inside, and by the time he switched and found daylight it was too late. He stayed on really well in the closing stages and he has a nice handicap in him soon, given better luck in running and a good strong pace to aim at.
Tomorrow the fare isn't that great but there is a horse going at Lingfield that I have had my eye on for quite a while. Pivotal Dream, Mark Brisbourne's 3yo daughter of Excellent Art, has looked moderate so far in her 14 race career but she has shown definite promise on more than one occasion. The run that sparked my interest in her came last October at Leicester (8.5f good to soft) off a mark of 54, her last run on grass.
She met all sorts of trouble in running, stumbling over 3f out and then running into the back of horses and having to be switched a number of times. When she finally found daylight she stayed on really well in the closing stages and she ended up in 3rd, beaten about a length. It came on good to soft ground, identical to the conditions she will face tomorrow. She steps up to 10f for the first time and on that Leicester run it should be ideal. She ran a couple of decent races on the all weather too before Xmas at trips ranging from 8.5f to 9.5f and more than once she shaped as though a step up to 10f would be perfect for her.
She was given a few months off after a poor run at Southwell in January and she returned with a less than impressive run at Wolves off 52. She will likely strip much fitter after that effort and she returns to turf off a mark of 51. Ryan Clark replaces Charlie Bennett in the saddle and off a 3lb lower mark than her very unlucky Leicester effort I think she is capable of running a big race at nice odds in a wide open handicap.
