Hi all,
A winning start to the month. Let’s hope we can continue in the same vein on Bank Holiday Monday. There’s plenty of betting opportunities today and my selections are from the Curragh, Beverley, and Kempton.
Curragh
4:05 – Layfayette – 100/30 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection’s form this season is hard to knock. He made a winning return to action in a Listed race at Naas before posting a career best to win a Group 3 over C&D 22-days ago. There’s no reason to think why he can’t go close again in the same grade.
Beverley
3:16 – Scotch Mistress – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Trainer David O’Meara has a good record with his 3-year-olds in handicaps at Beverley – 13 winners from 53 runners 25% +37 and hopefully the selection can add to the trainers winning tally here. The filly showed improved form when getting off the mark at the third attempt at Chelmsford in November. First start since that success and she does need to improve for her handicap/turf debut but given this is only her fourth start that seems likely.
Kempton
3:55 – Malystic – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection comes into the race fresher than most and he posted a career best on RPR’s when a neck 2nd of 7 at Ayr last month. Ground should be fine and today’s intermediate (2m 2f) trip could prove deal for the 8-year-old. Nudged up 2lb for his Ayr performance but remains on a competitive mark.
Cheers
John
