Joss’s Jewels Result – Fleeting Just Touched Off By Frankie And Star Catcher
NAP – Fleeting 5:10 Curragh (7/1 Advised) 9/2 2nd Fleeting was just touched off in the Kerrygold Irish Oaks on Saturday by John Gosden's Star Catcher and Frankie Dettori. Star Catcher was given a Dettori Masterclass off the front with Fleeting closing all the way to the line to be beaten a 1/2 length. There was not many excuses for Fleeting this time and as she came to win the race, you always felt Star Catcher was going to pull out more. The Ribblesdale form from Royal Ascot came to the fore and if the two were to meet again, it would make for an interesting rematch. At least followers had a run for their each way money with Fleeting being advised at 7/1 on Friday and was quite well supported being backed into 9/2 2nd favourite at the off. Fleeting strikes me as a horse that could run well in an Arc getting a fillies and 3 year old allowance. She enjoys coming off a strong pace and providing the ground is not too soft come October (which it often can be), 40/1 at the moment is juicy enough price.

Joss’s Jewels Result – Newmarket July Meeting – 10/1 Winning Nap
WINNER NAP - WALKINTHESAND 1:50 NEWMARKET FRIDAY (10/1 advised) 9/1 Walkinthesand put up a strong weight carrying performance to win the valuable 1m2f bet365 handicap at Newmarket on Friday. Trained by Richard Hannon and ridden by Ryan moore, he got a good position tracking the early leaders who went a fairly quick gallop for the distance. Even though he was challenged strongly in the final furlong he pulled out more to secure a gutsy 1 length win over his rivals. I imagine this horse will not be having to many more starts in handicaps in the future and is every inch a pattern performer for the end of this season and the next.
