Nikola ran a perfectly respectable race this afternoon, but just found Faasel on one of his going days.
That was always a possibility – and with the benefit of hindsight, a half point saver on Faasel would probably have been a sensible call (maybe I should leave the staking to Ciaran ;) )
Nikola was actually caught close home by Atouchbetweenacara, so in a way, I’m glad Faasel was in the race !
Looking to the future, then I suspect that Nikola can win again of this mark – though probably when the Twiston Davis stable is in better form…
Hopefully Atouchbetwenacara will be put away for a couple of months now – though even if that does happen, any future prices may well have been spoilt by him putting in a couple of decent runs over the past week.
Apparently Faasel is again going to be aimed at the Kim Muir at the Festival. He’s finished runner up in the race twice before, and I wouldn’t overly keen on betting against him doing it for a third time (I think it is more likely than him going one place better !!)
