He has made only one appearance at the races so far, but Shelby Cobra looks to be an above-average athlete, and he can break his maiden at Sale this afternoon.
The three-year-old son of Toronado was settled off the pace on debut at The Valley and mustered a nice turn of foot to finish fourth, less than two lengths from the winner.
This looks to be an easier race and he harbours plenty of upside.
Meteorite will take winning form into the fourth at Sale today and can make it two in a row.
The Team McEvoy-trained gelding returned some lovely efforts last time in, and returned to the races with a dominant performance and triumph in BM64 company at The Valley.
Grading suggests that this is a tougher race, but I really don’t think that it is.
Phaistos will take improvement into his second campaign start today, and the Sale Cup looks a lovely feature race for him.
The Helmet gelding really doesn’t know how to run a bad race, and returned several pleasing efforts last preparation, and in decent company.
He was less than a length second behind Windstorm in the Listed Weekend Hussler Stakes when resuming, and this is probably a drop in class from that race.
Indernile is another horse that will enjoy good improvement into his second-up task at Sale today, and he looms as a live each-way chance in the penultimate contest.
The Street Boss gelding doesn’t win out of turn, but there was a lot to like about his performance for second over 1200m at The Valley when resuming.
He will require some luck from barrier 14 but in terms of class, I don’t think he be offered a better opportunity to win than this.
