Hi all,
Fighting Temeraire saved the day yesterday but the other two selections ran poorly with Point Break very weak in the pre-race betting at Sedgefield.
Dundalk
6:30 – Nordic Passage – 5/1 @ Paddy Power – The 5-year-old came from behind to win a shade comfortably over C&D 21-days ago. The handicapper has raised him 7lb for that win, but he should remain competitive from a decent draw in stall 7.
8:00 – Silk Cravat – 13/2 @ Ladbrokes – Could have fared better with the draw (13) but has run well on his last two starts shaping as a return to winning ways isn’t too far away. The previous C&D winner is now 2lb lower than his last winning mark and Colin Keane has been booked for the ride.
Exeter
2:15 – Springfield Fox – 2/1 @ Paddy Power – The selection a three-time point winnerleft behind some moderate hurdle form when making an impressive debut over fences at Chepstow 21-day ago. The handicapper has raised him 10lb for that win but that shouldn’t stop the 7-year-old, if in the same form as last time.
Cheers
John
