Monday 15th February:

#IWAC – KURAKA (2.20 Warwick) – Tipped the other day when Taunton was abandoned, so sticking with him. Formerly with Gordon Elliot and since moving to Jeremy Scott’s yard he’s ran two nice races in defeat in handicap company. The first came in a higher grade at Taunton over 2m3f when fourth & that result was boosted as the winner went in again in a class 2 next time out. The last day saw him finish third beaten just under six-lengths at Newbury in heavy ground dropped to this trip, he led at the last when making a blunder and though that wouldn’t have cost him the race he may well have finished slightly closer. A pound rise in the weights is fair & he’s still only a seven-year old so there’s room for improvement on just his third start for this stable. If providing it here then he’s overpriced in my opinion (each-way mostly five places, six with Sky Bet). (10/1) – Sky Bet – 0.5pt ew (6 places) – Lost (-1)
