Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Redcar and Galway. Conditions are likely to be gruelling at both tracks in particular Galway where the going is being described as heavy.
Redcar
4:10 – Round The Island – 7/2 @ William Hill – Was an easy winner at Pontefract (soft) 7-days ago. The 4lb penalty shouldn’t stop him following up although this 6f is sharper than Pontefract. His form figures when running within 7-days of his last start are 11431 and trainer Richard Whitaker has an excellent strike rate with his handicapper returning to the track within 7-days – 16 winners from 47 runners 34% +67.96 27 placed 57%.
Galway
1:55 – Teed Up – 11/4 @ Bet365 – Hails from the inform Ken Condon yard 2 winners from 2 runners in the past seven days. The 3-year-old showed heavy ground holds no terrors for him when winning over C&D two starts, beating subsequent winner Dance Jupiter in the process. Since then he’s gone onto put in a career best on RPR’s when finishing runner-up at Tipperary 23-days ago. Handy draw in stall 2 and looks capable of bit more improvement.
3:40 – Excuzio Joe – 7/1 @ Bet365 & Sky Bet – Is a five-race maiden but the 3-year-old put in a career best when 2nd of 11 at the Curragh 15-days ago. Goes well on testing ground and the booking of 7lb apprentice Sam Ewing is another positive. Looks capable of winning a handicap like this, if he can overcome his wide draw in stall 17.
Cheers
John
