Hi all,
The start of a new month and we’re straight into the action. Today’s selections are from Ripon, Cork, and Naas.
Ripon
3:55 – Gainsbourg – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection has been waiting to get soft in the going description and hopefully he will get it today. The going is being described as good to soft, a sunny day and dry day is being forecast but hopefully it won’t dry out too much before post time. Twice a winner last season he wasn’t well placed in a slowly run race at Newcastle last time. Looks worth a try beyond 1m and is weighted to be competitive.
Cork
4:00 – Natural Look – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Came from off the pace when a 2 ½ length 3rd of 16 at Tramore last time. That was a career best on RPR’s by the mare. Up 1lb for that effort she shaped last time like she would be suited by today’s step up in trip. Up 1lb but looks capable of more improvement.
Naas
5:20 – Corporal Violette – 4/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Built on her juvenile promise when winning a Leopardstown maiden on her seasonal reappearance. Looked to have improved again when a 1 ¼ length 4th of 7 back at that venue on her handicap debut last time. Shaped last time like the step up to a mile will suit and she remains open to a bit more improvement.
Cheers
John
