Taritino – ground a concern at HQ
TARITINO’S form is all on fast ground and he’s not going to get that tonight at Newmarket in the 0-75 handicap over a mile (8pm).
The step up in trip will help but any rain that comes will blunt his speed and at the very best, he’ll get just good ground. He should still run well but the forecast thundery showers would negate his chances. However, at 14/1, there would be worse each-way bets.
Amy runs three others and Raqisa, under Ryan Kavanagh looks to have a great each-way chance at 7/1 in the the 6.55, a 0-75 handicap for 3yos+ over 1m4f. The 5yo mare looked a shade unlucky last time out at Windsor.
The other stable runners are Fly Pass (3.10 at Wolverhampton) and Via Electriano (6.30 Bath). They are weak in the market at 12/1 and 8/1 respectively. The latter could improve for the application of first time blinkers and the filly has an each-way squeak.
