Jangos flew home in the marathon 

Walthamstow Report 05 July 2007

Thursday's card was a decent open card, with a few graded fillers.

Funny Poppet led up in the opener (435 OR) and led until Pork Pie outpaced her from between the last two bends. Myella Honcho swung round with every chance, but was far from fluent at the bends.

Strong Flow made most of the running in the hurdles open, but was gunned down by Uptown King, who showed some decent middle pace and led near the line. Uptown King took a middle course on the run up and ran a bit wide at a few bends. He could improve a fair bit from his first Walthamstow visit.

There was plenty of trouble on the run to the first bend in the Div 2 maiden. Uptown King  emerged as the leader out of the second bend. Marathon Girl avoided the early bother after a slow start and stayed on to lead at the 3/4 and pulled away.

Bell Imperial made all in the novice stayers. Night Night loomed up to challenge at the 5th bend, but was one paced from that point and held on for second. Droopys Boss made a particularly slow start, ran wide at the 2nd bend and could never get on terms, despite staying on.

Target Dan flew to the corner in the A5, but failed too see out the trip. Femine Fatale and Rhias Beauty ran on and Rhias Beauty won the battle for supremacy on the run in.

Cobra Striking added yet another victory to his already impressive record at the Stow. How on earth he is allowed to run in Division 2 completely baffles me. He breaks quickly as regular as clockwork. Killer Keane returned after his exploits in the Derby and turned handy and held every chance in second.

Boy Becca made all to land the A3. Lockdale Duke held every chance and went down by a length.

 Brick showed good early pace in the Div 1 maiden but didn't see out the trip. Daisyfield Matti and Heavy Weather took over on the run in and Heavy Weather got the verdict in a photo.

Shelbourne Thesa cracked out and held a good lead early on in the marathon. Jangos Snowdrop started slowly, got a clear run and flew past Jangos Snowdrop at the 7th and ran away from the field. Shelbourne Thesa faded and Ebony Ocean plugged on to grab second. 

Milldean Buster was an impressive winner of the puppy standard. After an average start, he showed some early pace and led at the first and made all. Headford County and Ballymac Rita had a good battle for second, with Headford County coming out on top for second..

In the A2, Adamant Laser ran wide at the first and impeded Zu Yi. This allowed Shelbourne Ryan a clear run and he routed the field, winning by seven lengths.

Courts Ad Queen, Milldean Flash and War Of Attrition went up to the bend in a line in the A2 and Milldean Flash won that battle and went on to make all from the first bend. War Of Attrition kept on and held off War Of Attrition for second.

Special Deal led on the sraw and made all, despite clipping the rails at the first bend. There was trouble between Reverse Pace and Tanner Butler at the first and Fenland Lark stayed on out of the pack to finish second. Addington Ruby checked at the 3rd, when in second place and lost second on the run in.

Whitegate Jet cracked out and made all in the finale (640 open). Coolanga Flyer turned handy in behind and could never quite get on terms. Go Princess started slowly, check at the 3/4 and ran poorly.
