Pacific Salt is back down below his last winning mark so with underfoot conditions in his favour looks worth a punt at 8/1 in the 4.40 at Windsor today.
Pam Sly’s charge landed back-to-back contests at Nottingham in July/August of last year, scoring off 65 before bolting up on heavy ground by 3 3/4 lengths off 68.
The five-year-old went on to be placed twice off 74 and is now able to race off a reduced rating of 67.
It gives him major claims from a handicapping perspective and Pacific Salt comes into the race habing shaped quite bicely last time out when fading insie the last to finish a 7 1/3 length sixth of 16 to Pure Shores at Nottingham.
That was a step back in the right direction on his second start following a break and he should now be spot on to do himself justice.
The booking of Adam Kirby to partner Pacific Salt for the first time also catches the eye as he has a near 20 per cent overall strike rate when teaming up with the yard.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Pacific Salt (8/1 Betfair, Paddy Power, William Hill – BOG)
