Monday Selections – August 31st 2020

Hi all,

Two more winners landed yesterday. Can we make it five winning days on the trot?  In truth it looks much harder.  I have three selection from Sandown for you today.

Sandown

3:35 – Arecibo – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection doesn’t win as often as his ability warrants but he’s got plenty of placed efforts to his name in better races than this. Ground versatile, he needs a strong pace to chase which he should get and shouldn’t be far away at the finish.

4:45 – Valorant – 8/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – The daughter of Showcasing is bred to be better than a mark of 71. Despite being green she ran with promise on her racecourse debut at Kempton last month before running to a similar level of form when 4th of 7 in a Newmarket novice 30-days ago. Will stay further than 7f but today’s stiffer test should be fine. Looks the sort to improve with racing and looks an interesting handicap debutant.

7:30 – Arij – 11/2 @ Bet365 – Looks a bit quirky and the first-time visor is applied today but the lightly raced 3-year-old didn’t run too badly when 3rd of 16 on his handicap debut at Haydock 45-days ago. The step up to 1m 2f suited that day and if the headgear can eke out some improvement he should be in the mix. Handles good to soft but was a non-runner on soft at Redcar two days ago.

Cheers

John
