Frequent But Worth The Wait

Hat-Trick Looks On The Cards For Carroll Improver

All horses have patterns in their running or a profile that might suggest a favoured type of course, for example, and DE VEGAS KID’s successes seem to be when his races come in clusters interspersed with breaks of a couple of months or so.

He travels up from Tony Carroll’s Worcester stable today in search of a three-timer in the Topsport Equisand Handicap after a six months’ break and then two wins and certainly has a lot in his favour.

He won over seven furlongs just a week ago in a Class 4 at Goodwood and drops down a grade today.

This afternoon’s distance is a mile but he has been successful over the trip three times and the good to soft won’t be a problem as he has run well on heavy and the progeny of his sire Lope De Vega have a 15% winning rate on soft going.

Significantly, he goes off the same mark of 75 as last week’s race was an apprentice event; indeed, he can be regarded as being seven pounds well in as apprentice Elisha Whittington, who has ridden five winners, takes seven off.

HAMMER GUN has a lot going for himself on form and ratings, whilst LOTHARIO is consistent and being backed but the 9/2 about the Kid looks fair.
