STRIKEN READY TO RESUME

Four year old gelding STRIKEN who has promised so much without fully delivering, is set to resume racing at Belmont today. The horse has promised a lot in his short career and up to date he has only delivered two wins. The horse has been the victim of some bad luck on more than one occasion and he has also had a few soundness issues however I am very happy with him as he prepares for his return.

The horse was due to start at Belmont on Saturday in a high quality event however I felt that today's race would suit him better. The in form West River Boy is aiming to win three in a row and looks the hardest for us to beat today. I expect STRIKEN to run a very forward race and he will derive a lot of benefit from today's run. He should be worth following throughout this campaign.

Tomorrow we head to Northam with SALE TOPPER who gets his chance to break through for his maiden win. The horse had nothing but bad luck in his last campaign and should have won at least two and maybe even three races. He is only a tiny little horse and he has trouble pushing his way around in a race. Hopefully a change of rider for tomorrows race will see a change of luck as sometimes that is all that is needed to swing things around for an out of luck horse.
