It’s another big afternoon for our ENIGMA Racing syndicates as we own a piece of Group 3 winner Little Kim, who lines up for the
Super Sprint at Newbury this afternoon. Not too shabby, when you consider our syndicate members paid just £192.31 each,
and that included upkeep for the whole 2018 flat season. Some of them will be racing as owners at Newbury today.
** Feedback: Ginger Nut wins at 16/1, much bigger when posted. Another terrific winner for the angle, if frustrating for me personally to pick wrong! **

So, understandably, while we have everything crossed for Little Kim her 8lb Group penalty for this race will make life tricky. She should run very well, but you have to suspect that something laid out will be
tough to beat with lots of weight in hand.
Looking at the Super Sprint is really a case of short-listing
trainers. I would suggest looking most closely at: Tim Easterby, Richard’s Fahey and Hannon, plus Andrew Balding and Jon Portman.
I filter their runners with just a few criteria:
Has won a class 5 race or higher
Has not yet won beyond 5fl
No more than 5 previous career starts
Last ran 11 to 45 days ago
In short; proven ability, fast, lightly raced improvers, smoothly prepped.
In short; proven ability, fast, lightly raced improvers, smoothly prepped.
Since 1998, runners from these yards who met this
criteria are; 8 wins from 29 bets, +£54.70 LSP.
This year’s short-list is: Red Balloons, Ginger Nut and
Good Tyne Girl.
RED BALLOONS ticks all the right boxes: nice weight, ideal draw and going. He's been laid for the race by Richard
Fahey. To cap it all runners who competed at Royal Ascot have an especially good record and he’s Timeform top rated too.
So (with every fibre) we will be hoping Little Kim
can step up and defy top weight, but Red Balloons looks the value - perhaps almost a
shot to nothing each way. He could well win.
