Why is Domenico Contarini drifting😂

Wednesday's horse racing thread 🧵 Nottingham 1.17 Infraad 1/1 NAP Nottingham 5.10 Love Beach 11/2 each way Kempton 5.30 Turret 5/2 Catterick 5.38 Moostar 10/3 Kempton 6.00 Domenico Contarini 11/10 NEXT BEST Kempton 7.30 Hallo Spaceboy 5/2 I thought that was a big run from INFRAAD on debut. This colt by Ghaiyyath was beaten just over a length and given he was keen and the trip was probably on the sharp side there was a lot of encouragement. He has been given time since to fill his frame and now tackling a mile and a quarter I can see him proving tough to beat. I've been waiting to see LOVE BEACH again. I backed him the last twice and thought he caught the eye on penultimate start. I know he ran a bit flat on final outing but given plenty of time since I'd be confident he is a fair bit better than a mark of 83. There is lots more to come over this trip and as long as they don't go a stop start gallop he should be bang there at the finish. I'm hearing good things about TURRET so hopefully he can turn over the hotpot here on debut. This colt by Kingman cost 580,000 euros and is related to some very nice horses. Oisin Murphy is up and this looks a good starting point so hopefully the money keeps coming and he makes a bright start. Obviously there is always risk backing debutants but hopefully he knows his job. Joanna Mason ended a frustrating run riding Jojo Rabbit to success yesterday and she might be able to land another winner here in the shape of MOOSTAR. This filly has been shaping well in defeat since joining James Owen. She looks well handicapped and if improving again should have a great chance against this field. Expensive colt DOMENICO CONTARINI ran well despite failing to land the gamble on debut. He was beaten just a length at Newcastle and shaped like he'd come on tons for the run. I think the winner Exmoor is a very nice colt for Andrew Balding and I don't see anything of that calibre in here. If he improves as anticipated then he will open his account comfortably. He has some eye-catching entries too including the Guineas and the Derby. On another day HALLO SPACEBOY could easily have been the NAP as I really fancy him here. He improved with every run as a 2yo winning as expected at Newcastle on final start. He has plenty more to come moving back up to 6f now handicapping and is taken to have too much for these especially with the second favourite and seemingly main danger Arry Up carrying a penalty.
