Variety is the spice of life they say, so how does a runner at Royal Ascot today and a chaser at Hereford tomorrow illustrate the role of the 'dual-purpose trainer'?
AUSTRALIA DAY is a 25/1 chance today but does have many factors in his favour. Fast ground, a right-handed track, a good high draw and Kieran Fallon all bode well for him today. As feared, Epsom was not his track, but at least he had a run and so could not be fitter for this target. He will need a career best and all the luck in the world, but so far the omens are good.
OVERSPIN goes tomorrow at Hereford in a 2m. handicap chase, trying to make up for her very unfortunate fall at Southwell last time. She has schooled well and if she travels as well tomorrow as she was when falling at the fifth last, she also holds an each-way chance.
Off to re-polish the hat!
