Delias’s cooking! –

Walthamstow Report 15 Feb 2007

A pretty grim graded card was offered up to punters tonight. Many declined the invitation. I missed the first two races. The A8 looked to be going the way of Optimistic Lucky as he took a clear lead early on. Scooter Man was pretty slow away, got impeded at the 2^nd bend but came home strongly and led on the line.

The dreadful S3 featured some really shocking performers. Rumour Has It cut out the early running, but could not contain Toosey Tina as she came at him off the home turn.

I thought the P7 was one of the best races of the night. Millwards Angel improved a lot last time and looked well drawn. Droopys Jimmy had shown promise, but looked to have an iffy draw. Lens Return looked to be another promising sort, who had lacked a yard of pace early to date. Twilight Fantasy was a well bred newcomer from the Seamus Cahill kennel. Droopys Jimmy was wide out of the traps and also moved off at the bend and put paid to his and Lens Return chances. Millwards Angel broke fairly well and made all. Twilight Fantasy showed some promise, staying on quite well for 2^nd. My impression after the race was that the front two were somewhat flattered by the form. Lens Return is the one I’d like to have taken home from these.

Newline Mentor broke averagely, but swung round in front off the 2^nd turn in the A7. She quickly folded at the 3^rd turn and Droopys Delia romped home. Droopys Delia was ex season, had some fair 6 bend form on her card and slaughtered her field here.

Moses turned up in the P6 race and parted the field at the first bend to allow Brigadoon the clearest run you ever did see in the P6. He made very heavy weather of the race and scrambled home from Droopys Madam, who held every chance.

Those that were asking Wheres Bibby before the start of the of the A6 where left in no doubt as she catapulted out of the boxes and roared home. Sudoku put in a puzzling performance and trailed in well down the numbers. Different Gravy isn’t any more.

The S3 was another appalling excuse for a race. True Frankie was one another for the landlord and took it up as Quick Appeal folded up near the line after cutting out most of the running.

In the A5, Black Specta returned to the stow, but had not had much racing in his time away. He was formerly A1 Romford and A3/2 W’stow, but eased at the 2^nd after a showing a little early. January Student preformed exactly as expected. Fairly slow away, early pace led till faded on the run in. Mystical Class was slow away, got a clear run, kept on and led on the run in.

Funcheon Rebel was another this evening who showed some excellent early pace, however he could not contain the strong finishing Classy Star who came home with a real rattle.

The A2 was won in impressive fashion by the Seamus Cahill trained Get On Blackie who broke smartly and did not see another rival. The short favvy Boy Becca did not look sound. War Of Attrition stayed on from off the pace for second.

Luas Lasrach broke smartly in the A2 and led to the run in. Sophie Rose showed some decent pace and led on the run in.
