Johnston Filly To Lead The Dream Catchers
Consistent Type Ready To Show The Way Home
It’s quite a trek from Middleham, North Yorkshire, to the south coast but Mark Johnston has 10 horses lined up to make the journey over the next three days. He can start with a winner in the shape of the five-year-old filly LOVE DREAMS in the Three Friday Nights handicap over seven furlongs this afternoon, and it is more than likely that she will be in front at the two furlongs marker, as she habitually front runs. From then on in jockey P. J McDonald will try to hold off the challengers, led by GAME PLAYER.The latter is a definite improver, having won easily at Lingfield last time out after a nice seasonal introduction at Newmarket in April in a Class 2. The son of Dark Angel had five races after being gelded last season, producing two wins and two seconds and goes today off a mark of 94, five pounds higher than his latest win. Love Dreams competes again off her last mark of 95 and trainer and jockey are around the 15% mark at Goodwood, more than is commendable. It does look a two-horse race, though GEORGE OF HEARTS is being backed. At 2/1 Love Dreams and 11/4 Game Player (Bet Victor, Bet365) they can be dutched for a 66% profit. G Lees
