Race 2
Futurismo 14/1 ew
I am not 100% convinced on formlines of the 3 shorter priced runners. F is beautifully bred and well related, an expensive purchase and jock goes well for yard.
Race 4
Look for Hounds @ 10/1 ew
Nice low galloping weight with top jock on board. On run to Russian Rock looks massive value,

Xavion @ 16/1 ew
No chance last time out when had to be dropped out from widest draw and just so far back turning for home. Must be better than that based on 3rd to Trip of Fortune and breeding suggest wants trip.

Race 1 - Everglades @ 9/1
Fav looks hard to beat on form and times, but will take her on with above, coming back from a rest and whilst has some to find, worth shot.
Race 2 - Nausion @ 25/1 (WSB)
Impeccably bred been half brother to Tap O North, Strathdon & Black Knap. On breeding looking for futher but might pop up at the end. Will take swinger with Souths fancy.
Race 3 - Persistance @ 21/1 (HW)
Drawn on inside which if I remember correctly is favorable at Kenilworth sprints. Has beaten second fav Baltmore Jack and is getting weight from that win.
On last run needs to find more but hoping for a bounce back to earlier form.
Race 4 - Look for Hounds - Only 7/1 around now but like South fancy this one.
Race 5 - Bonika @ 10/1 & Cousin Casy @ 8/1
Bonika - Carrying only 54.5 and holds some of the others on previous runs. Slight concern that Jock has stayed on Cousin Casey.
Both CC and Bonika hold 2 fav's on weight turn arounds. Looking at Jockey think CC could be slightly favoured.
Race 6 - Waiting for summer @ 20/1
Looks like bred for this trip minimum, and siblings have all done well this trip. Worth ago with form stable. Respect souths with stable jock up, and scary place numbers so definitely will take both.
Race 7 - Kasimir @ 15/1 & Sound of Warning 20/1
2 Favs look hard to beat, but will take them on with these 2.
Will post more tomorrow for second half.

One more as i scan through card between work -
Race 11 Poltergeist @ 16/1 ew. Didn’t get a chance to land a blow in last effort when boxed in, and has an eye-catching jock booking this weekend. Being out of Silvano they tend to take a while to hit peak as 3/4yr olds so could have major improvement to come.

just to get my picks into 1 post as they're scattered all over the place.
Met:
I’m on Marina @ 10/1, who’s tightened up in the betting all week. She’s a filly who needs the 2000m trip and the yard have had this race in mind for some time. She was flying late in the Paddock Stakes last time out and a few strides later would have got up. Female horses have a good record in the Met given limited representation over the years and I’m hoping 2022 is another one for the girls.
Race 2 Futurismo @ 16/1 ew. First-timer but looks very well bred and related, I’m seeing some holes in the formlines of a few more fancied runners including stablemate but at these odds can’t do much harm. I see stablemate been backed huge amounts overnight so would probably say i'm on the wrong one here!
Race 3 Transact around 2/1 or slightly bigger. Don't tend to back short prices but i think beaten by a top sort last time out and will be going into some doubles and trebles.
Race 4 Look for Hounds (taken @ 10/1, now 4’s). Low weight with top jockey on board, all wins over this trip.
Race 5 Grinkov @ 14/1 ew. GL keeps ride, 2yr old races tend to have upsets.
Race 6 Xavion @ 16/1 ew (now 20/1) Not at best last run but had an impossible task and a number in field seemed to have been too far off the pace turning for home. Should enjoy this extra and his 3rd a few runs back was a standout strong formline effort.
Race 7 and 8 i'm still undecided, will see how 1st couple races go.
Race 11 Poltergeist @ 16/1 ew. Didn’t get a chance to land a blow in last effort when boxed in, and has an eye-catching jock booking this weekend. Being out of Silvano they tend to take a while to hit peak as 3/4yr olds so could have major improvement to come.
Race 12 Mounia @ 20/1 ew. Seems to have some talent and jockey rides well for the Hollies syndicate.

race 7 African Rain @ 40/1 ew. Just a bit of unknown quality as 3yr old so will have a nibble.
race 8 Mercury RIsing @ 14/1 ew, if stablemate not on game i think she could be the surprise package in race.
