Havana Gold Maiden Stakes (Plus 10) over 5f on good going. Seven two-year-olds take part: two with racecourse experience. Hugo Palmer has started this two-year-old season in earnest and Barend Boy ran a cracking race on debut at Leicester. To be fair, this British-bred son of Oasis Dream didn't look like he was going to trouble the leaders when made 9/4f. However, this bay colt really found his stride in the closing furlong and could well have beaten Marie's Diamond if inexperience hadn't proved costly. Palmer has given this youngster an entry for the Lily Agnes but this option looks to have taken preference. With that valuable experience onside, I can see Barend Boy taking some stopping. Should enjoy this stiff finish. Mark Johnston has been in pretty good form this early season if not quite achieving the dizzy heights of former seasons. Smile A Mile was made an odds-on shot for his debut at Newcastle but failed to shine. This chestnut son of Slade Power must

An EBF Maiden Stakes over 7f on good to soft going. Thirteen two-year-old colts take part. Five juveniles with race experience. Plenty of renowned trainers taking an interest in this Plus 10 contest with win prize money a shade over £5,000. A big old field but plenty of interest. Roger Charlton fields *Zafferino. This son of Frankel is out of a once-raced mare. This home-bred is owned by Saleh Al Homaizi & Imad Al Sagar. He started 8/15f in a four-horse race but couldn't hold the late challenge of Seniority. Zafferino was a touch keen on his racecourse debut but held in high regard by connections. With that initial experience, this February foal should go well and has sound each-way claims. For more reading material around horse race betting, be sure to check out Bethut's horse racing tips. Sir Michael Stoute should always be respected in the latter part of the season and he has sent out a few nice two-year-olds over the last few weeks.

Day two of the 30-Day Challenge. A jubilant start to proceedings with the lovely-looking Marylebone winning for Ed Walker on Monday. Firstly, I'm not as confident about today's selection but it should go well. A Maiden Fillies' Stakes over 7f 32y. Nine two-year-olds take part, five with experience. Andrew Balding fields Make Music for her third start. I backed this daughter of Acclamation last time out at decent odds. This bay filly, who was purchased by the trainer for 40,000euros at the yearling sales, looked to struggle for pace and I went from hoping for a place to being irritated that she didn't snatch victory, clawing back the leader in the closing stages to lose by less than one length. The key to her success today could well come from this step up in trip, which is sure to benefit. I'm pretty sure this March foal races in Andrew Balding's wife's colours so Kingsclere could be celebrating in every sense if lady luck shines. With odds around 1

Another long day so I won't give an in-depth review. An EBF Maiden Stakes over 7f on good to firm going. Ten colts/geldings - no fillies taking the plunge although eligible. A few of these have shown ability: John Splendid, Cymric & Hairdryer. Andrew Balding's two-year-olds haven't been firing on all cylinders especially a number of debutantes who have been backed and run horribly. *Both Sides wasn't overly fancied on debut but ran a respectable enough race when finishing fifth over 7f at Sandown. This son of Lawman is out of a debut-winning mare who was highly tried including a narrow loser in the Moyglare Stud Stakes (Group 1), Curragh, Ireland. The mare was trained by John Gosden racing in the familiar silks of George Strawbridge, this bay colt a sibling and home bred. The form of that race has been franked and this February foal didn't have the best of races: slowly away, outpaced, then kept on in the final furlong. With over a month off course it is likely this

All eyes will be on Andrew Balding's Elm Park this Saturday as Qatar Racing & Kingsclere Racing send their two-year-old bay colt to race at Group 1. This homebred son of Phoenix Reach out of a limited-winning mare has progressed with racing. He may have fluffed his lines on debut at Sandown - but it's been winners all the way since. Kingsclere Racing sold a major share to Qatar Racing after winning readily at Salisbury when competing at Listed class. His most recent [third] victory saw a sterling effort when staying on to win the Judmonte Royal Lodge Stakes (Group 1) when ridden by Andrea Atzeni, racing over one mile. Winner Sport have a great offer for backers of Elm Park to win @ 5/1.

An EBF Maiden Stakes over 1m 67y on soft ground. Eleven two-year-olds take part: colts, geldings & solitary filly. Last week I mentioned one of Andrew Balding's juveniles on its second start - which disappointed. Horses win: horses lose. In general, my analysis is correct so we will see if Kingsclere Park House Stable can hit the target this time round. Rocky Rider is a son of top-class stallion Galileo out of a limited-winning mare. This bay colt was purchase by David Redvers Bloodstock for 400,000gns from Tattersall October Sales 2013 (Book 1). The mare has produced a number of exceptionally expensive offspring - no doubt being influenced by Blue Duster, who is on this youngster's page. In the familiar maroon silks of Qatar Racing Ltd, Rocky Rider was quite well backed on debut at Haydock over one mile when fourth behind Lord Ben Stack. Although beaten a good few lengths this juvenile showed promise and is sure to come on first that first start. If priced in single figures hold

An EBF Maiden over 6f 16y on good ground. Nine two-year-olds take part: colts/geldings and one filly, the majority raced. As far as the betting goes this is a four-horse race. Andrew Balding has been quiet with his juveniles this season but they are always worth taking note on their second start. Guiding Light was relatively fancied on debut at Newmarket, where Epithet fairly cruised to victory. This bay colt, a son of Acclamation out of a unraced mare, showed promise on his first start and looks capable of progressing with racing. Thurloe Thoroughbreds have a good eye (Kyllachy) and this horse was purchased by Will Edmeades Bloodstock Ltd for £38,000 from Doncaster Premier Yearlings Sale. The key to this youngsters chances rest on the betting and if priced 9/1 & less sp he has respectable win and place claims.

A Median Auction Maiden Stakes over 6f on standard going. Seven runners take part all three-year-olds bar Ishisoba who is four. Three colts take on the girls, all from talented trainers. Most have race experience although two debutantes will need to be primed to figure. Pool House has turned a few punter's hair a whiter shade of grey, beaten favourite on his last four starts, twice at odds-on, but conversely never far away. This son of Sahkee's Secret cost £22,000 at the yearling sales out of a French-raced mare. Andrew Balding's colt has been given a winter break and fitness must be taken on trust. However, the Kingsclere Park House Stable only have a small team for the All-Weather and this bay has never looked stuffy in his previous races. Probably the greatest sign that connections mean business is a drop in class. After running in EBF maidens this will be an easier proposition. Pool House is likely to be priced to chance but it will take a fair horse to beat him today.

A Median Maiden Auction Stakes over 1m on standard going. A nine-strong field, and few fair types for this grade, no doubt searching for an easy race to win! Andrew Balding had a respectable season with his juveniles on the turf and Spectator ran well on debut at Brighton when finishing a promising fourth. This son of Passing Glance is a home bred out of a poor winning mare. The form of that first start has been franked and after a slow start this brown colt done well to just about get into contention when not a clear run. With just about a month on the sidelines, this horse owned by Kingsclere Racing Club should be primed for a big effort. Strong each way claims if odds allow. If Lucky Jim is priced 13/2 & less sp, I would be tempted to have a small reverse forecast with the above mentioned. Poor effort from Spectator, who seemed ring rusty and this turning course compounded an initial lack of pace. Much better was expected and time will tell this was a disap

A Median Auction Maiden Stakes over 1 Mile. Twelve two-year-olds take part, the majority lightly race, two debutantes. Three fillies take on the colts. Three horses make most appeal. Spillway, a son of Rail Link, made an eye-catching debut at Kempton when racing over a mile. A relatively cheap purchase at 10,000gns, Eve Johnson Houghton's charge was a 50/1 shot in a similar race type. This bay colt didn't look like being competitive for most of that event but ran down the home straight with real purpose, losing by three lengths and giving the impression there would be further improvement. The fifth has since won to given the form some substance and beating one of today's rivals, Lion Beacon, with some authority. Johnson Houghton's juveniles rarely win when racing on their racecourse bow but feature fair statistics on their second start. He has been off course for just under a month and must have each way claims. *Too Difficult is one of three fillies in this line-up.

A Maiden Staked (Div 1) over 1 mile. Ten juveniles take part, the majority lightly raced, four debutantes, with two fillies against a field of colts. A number of fashionable trainers are represented although most - although showing promise - still have something to prove, if not difficult to assess. Saved By The Bell is most proven of those with form. Brian Meehan's representative, an Irish bred son of Teofilo, was relatively fancied on debut racing over 7f. Little went right that day at Warwick where a slow start all but finished this bay colt's chance. The winner Red Avenger has proven to be a talent. This Michael Buckley-owned two-year-old may have been fancy odds on his second start but it certainly didn't stop him from giving favourite backers a fright in the closing stages, losing by a neck. In truth, the winner always held an advantage. The stable have a fair strike rate at this course and although that form is untested to some extent, going so close suggests

A Median Auction Maiden Stakes over 7f. A sizeable field of thirteen juveniles, a mix of colts and fillies, most lightly races. The most likely protagonists hail from leading trainers while a number of the debutantes - from less fashionable yards - will struggle to be competitive. Running Bull, Two No Bids, Balatina & Hannah's Turn are best watched. Martial Art, trained by Andrew Balding, has run five times and runner-up on three occasions. This chestnut son of Compton Place has run some sterling races losing by a short head on debut and a couple of other defeats by a length or less. A 26,000gns yearling purchase, Jackie & George Smith will feel they have a fair buy although cursing their misfortune. This colt has enough ability to win most maidens and has an official rating of 82. His latest performance at Lingfield showed a willing attitude and an suiting for the artificial surface. A leading chance. Mick Channon's Imperial Spirit has the most experien

An EBF Maiden Stakes over 6f on this turning track. Absolutely So should be just that on his second start. Kingsclere Park House Stables know a talented two-year-old when they see one and it spoke volumes that this son of Acclamation was sent off joint favourite when running at Newbury on debut over 7f on testing ground. This January foal was an expensive yearling purchase at 230,000gns. Running in the familiar silks of George Smith, there is little doubt this bay colt was sent to the course with high hopes. However, inexperience tarnished what could have been a victorious first start. A slow start, then much too keen, Absolutely So eventually travelled smoothly over one furlong out. Signs of inexperience reared their head in the closing stages and that was the difference between winning and losing. That was a narrow defeat and more should be expected today. Clearly connections feel this drop back in distance will not be a problem. The sire had speed to burn and altho

An EBF Maiden Stakes over 1m 1f 103y. Andrew Balding is a classy trainer and I expect Buona Fortuna to go well today. This bay filly by Oasis Dream ran well on debut at Newmarket earlier this month when racing over 7f on testing ground. The familiar Mariscotti silks have adorned some talented juveniles in their time and this 55,000gns yearling purchase - by the trainer - hails from a good family, the mare winning on her second start. This bay has the profile of a winner in waiting and if touching an each way price is a strong bet.

NO 1 The Punter's Choice!!!!!An EBF Maiden Stakes (Div 1) over 7f. Melvin The Grate was a costly yearling purchase at 200,000gns racing in the familiar silks of Mrs Fitri Hay. This son of Danehill Dancer wasn't overly fancied on debut at Folkestone but ran a pleasing race, staying on in the closing stages, but never likely to catch all the way winner Banovallum. Andrew Balding is a fantastic trainer of two-year-olds. He can prime them to win on debut but many of their representative improve for their first start and put that experience to good use. From a statistical point of view I would be very surprised if this bay colt wasn't placed. The odds are nothing special but if you are looking for a good, strong, confident bet that would be my selection. 6:55 KemptonA Median Maiden Stakes over 1m. A number of leading trainers are featured in this sizeable field of colts and fillies. Only four juveniles have race experience in what is a restricted race type, which is likely to hol

An EBF Maiden Stakes over 1m on soft ground. One horse catches the eye - Prairie Ranger. Andrew Balding is a class trainer and although this may not have been a vintage season with his two-year-olds they are often worthy of interest on their second start. This son of Montjeu was fancied to go well on debut at Windsor when racing on similarly testing ground. In truth, this Irish bred colt was somewhat disappointing, although being slightly hampered done him no favours.The form of that race is nothing special and ample improvement is needed but there could be more to come. The key point of about this juvenile's chance is based purely on a statistical perspective for me. The betting on debut was a strong indicator Dr Philip Brown's youngster has ability to win a race. Today the betting will be just as crucial. If priced in single figures, a big run should be expected. If price allows a decent each way bet.
