Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Haydock and Dundalk
Haydock
2:05 – Delorean – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Looked progressive when winning over C&D on handicap debut 48-days ago. Yet to race with soft in the going description but seemed to handle heavy on his 2-year-old racecourse debut last Autumn. Up 4lb for his latest win but there should be more to come from him.
2:40 – Speycaster – 100/30 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Shaped better than his 4 ½ lengths 4th of 14 over C&D 83-days ago suggests. Proved his stamina for the trip last time when doing is best work at the finish. The first time blinkers are applied today, and easier ground should suit him well.
Dundalk
7:00 – State Occasion – 5/2 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – An improving filly since returned to 1m 2f comes into this Listed contest after handicap wins at Goodwood and York 35-days ago. She produced a career best at York and is well worth her place in pattern company for the first time. Has twice won on the all-weather so no problem with the surface and although stall ten could be better she’s the pick.
7:30 – Roman Bull – 7/1 @ Paddy Power – Got off the mark at the 5th attempt when winning a Clonmel maiden 22-days ago. Looks fairly treated for handicap debut and first run on the synthetics. Shouldn’t have any issues with today’s slightly longer distance and has handy low in 4. Looks handicapped to go close if handling the surface.
Cheers
John
