Well we have racing from Ffos Llas, Goodwood, Limerick & Curragah 16.50 Limerick- Muirhead 8/1 With so many questions over alot of the field, I am going for consistency and theres none more than in this field than my selection. Yet to match his efforts over the hurdles but been placed and these were good places in the Galway Plate and the Kerry National over soft ground beating several of these runners. He should be there, there abouts and at 8/1 is a decent e/w price.
Been studying the Irish Ceasarwitch card for the last half hour and have come up with 2 against the field- Truthwillsetyoufree Weld has a very y good record in this race and he looks an interesting contender looks to be have been tilted for this race, has run well in handicaps none more so when 3rd here lto my second choice another Smullen is the Hisaabat- a great performer over the jumps but yet to show that on the flat- altho Patrick has looked over him, he has the class and his last couple of runs have seemed to prime him up and I am expecting a big run into this race with the placings at a price of 28/1 definately on the card
Last selection for me 14.45 Ffos Llas- Nez Rouge- 11/2 Has been running over hurdles but with no luck as of late, but did show promise earlier in the season, has a better record over chasing with NTD sending him back over the big sticks- surely the runs over hurdles has done something and is now looking to a good season ahead.
Interesting to see Patrick Mullins heads across to Goodwood tomorrow for the one ride. He did the same a few weeks back and came away with the win.
I like Weather Watch in the Irish Ces tomorrow. Ticks all the boxes. Trip looks ideal, going is perfect, excellent claimer on board and crucially the yard is in spanking good form!
Interesting to see how the Dentist does over in the CZE tomorrow on Zest for Life but you think Mount Zion has the best chance of the UK/Irish Raiders tomorrow
1.55 Curragh Sea's Aria, John Oxx's stable likes this Sea the Stars colt alot and it should be an each way price.
I think AP's mount Shot From The Hip has a favourites chance in the Munster National. He won a big handicap at Killarney off 129 in convincing fashion and was upped to 137 for the Kerry National, where I think the ground would have been plenty sticky enough for him and he struggled to get through it over 3 miles - although he was far from disgraced behind White Star Line. Today's surface should be much more to his liking and 11-3 is a nice racing weight.
As I alluded to on yesterdays thread there is a wheelbarrow job today in the form of SOLSTICE SON 5.30 Ffos Las 11-10. I am amazed to see him odds against. There are not many better than Honeyball at readying a bumper horse as he proved with yesterdays winner at Chepstow and SOLSTICE SON chased home THE SKYFARMER on his last start, that is really good form. He should bolt up here! In the race before I am having a few quid on HEAD HUNTED though not from any info I hasten to add. I just think that back at the scene of his last success he should go well and its a bloody awful journey from Kent to darkest Wales for a horse you didn't think had a chance!
IRISH CESAREWITCH - Jack Daddy 25/1 EW Also think Richard Hughes might have a good day at Goodwood so have backed all his
I ve got the wheel barrow out for SS and While you Wait, willie thinks Call me Bubbles has a shout in the cesarewitch and James has 2 rides in France that may place Solix and Saint Palios stay frosty
Morning all, a couple for me today. Ffos Las 2.45 Taffy Thomas 4/1 Ffos Las 3.55 Sivola De Sivola 5/4 Singles and a double
The Skyfarmer has certainly franked the form but the money this morning is all for the Rebecca Curtis runner Relentless Dreamer and that one is now favourite with some firms (e.g. Ladbrokes who go 6/5 RF and 11/8 SS - you can even get 6/4 SS Bet Victor). WHat do you make of that stick? An unraced son of Kayf Tara out of a Cadoudal mare. Dam side laden with stamina, I would've thought 2 miles on debut might be a bit sharp for him? Is he just making a better price for us on the Honeyball runner?
