Hi all,
A couple of non-runners yesterday but there’s plenty to go at today indeed probably too much in truth. I have a rare four selections for you today, it could easily have been six, so fingers crossed there is a winner or two among them.
Newcastle
1:15 – Tabdeed – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Lightly raced for his age the 5-year-old made a winning seasonal return last August before finishing 6th of 10 behind Cape Byron in a Group 3 at Ascot in October. Has been gelded since his last run and will be suited by the drop back into handicap company here.
1:50 – Mubakker – 5/2 @ Bet365 – Impressed when making it 3 wins from 3 runs on the all-weather when landing a C&D class 2 handicap 25-days ago. Steps up into Group 3 today but is going the right way and is capable of being competitive.
Newmarket
2:40 – Limato – 100/30 @ Coral – Now an 8-year-old Limato clearly isn’t as good as he used to be but as he showed when winning this race 12 months ago, he’s still capable of going well in this class. The likely strong pace will suit and he can win this if fit enough on his return to action.
Curragh
7:15 – Santiago – 11/4 @ Bet365 – The selection made himself a leading contender for the St Leger when winning the Queen’s Vase at Royal Ascot last week. Quick ground would be a be a slight unknown in this company and back to 1m 4f but if the anticipated heavy showers arrive he’s got a favourites chance of landing yet another Irish Classic for trainer Aidan O’Brien.
Cheers
John
