Hi all,
Well yesterday didn’t go as planned. Today I have selections from Ayr and Southwell.
Ayr
2:10 – Rum Runner – 8/1 @Bet365 – Has yet to find his form for present connections but last time out there was support in the market for the 5-year-old. He ran to keen in the first time cheekpieces at Beverley 12-days ago (now removed) before finishing 8th of 10. Looks interesting now dropped back to sprint distances, for the first time since his racecourse debut and is 7lb below last seasons winning mark.
2:40 – Stronsay – 7/1 @ Bet365 – The selection has been knocking on the door in handicaps, including when 4th over C&D three starts back. Got stuck in the mud when last of seven back here 19-days ago. Return to a sounder surface in his favour and he capable of being in the mix on previous efforts this season.
Southwell
5:00 – Dream Machine – 8/1 @ Bet365 – Hasn’t really built on the promise of his Bangor maiden hurdle win last June. Had a breathing issue after 9th of 12 at Uttoxeter 32-days ago. Has had a breathing operation since and gets the first-time tongue tie today. Tom Scudamore who rode him to his only win is back in the saddle and he looks worth chancing for a yard among the winners.
Cheers
John
