I've had a nibble on BACARDYS 4/1 in the bumper - with question marks over Moon Racer, Aspen Colorado is the main danger in my opinion.
Had a dabble on Alqufaal in the Ponty maiden 2:35. He ran green on debut before running on late for a nearest finish. Well backed that day and if he learnt from it should run a nice race.
The Tyners going for it again? Don't Kick Nor Bite who was recently purchased by JP McManus after winning her Cork bumper has started to see some support over the past 60 minutes in the 7.15....I'm on this one though, so apologies in advance to JP and those connected with the horse. Joking aside, it won that bumper well, finding plenty, and that counts for a lot in these events so hopefully she can make the frame again.
First time in an age that I've not had a wager on at least one opening race! Might have a dabble on one in the 3.40 at Punchie, given Bet365 have it as a feature race and all of them are long enough odds - Poker School. Over at Ascot, like the look of Pearl Spectre in the 5.00; money coming for it too. Looking forward to the 3.55 and 4.30 at Ascot, notebook out.
3:55 Ascot - Zebstar 66/1 ew with 3 places on offer I'm willing to risk a couple of quid and hope this horse can sneak a place
Shamiran pops up at Punchestown again. 5 wins out of 71 runs, 3 of those wins in the same race Jim Best anyone...
Lovely Jubbly-Lads Jesse is flying it at the mo!Even though Willie is having a bad week I'm going to side with Bellshill in the next
Shout Doalittle and Ste If Cue Card is feeling the effects of a long season then I think Carlingford Lough could be the one to capitalise. However, I am not betting so I dearly hope that Cue Card prevails. BTW I can't warm to Punchestown as a track - too much up and down and round the bends and out behind Foggarty's farm and back again. Got no atmosphere either (at least that's how it comes across on TV).
Oddy I think the TV coverage here must be really bad through that ATR feed because I always think the same about the atmosphere at every Irish track- and as we all know they make enough noise when they come over for Cheltenham!
True Toppy, probably the crap coverage. I've just had one of these please log in to view this image and now I'm having one of these please log in to view this image It's a hard life
