Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Tipperary & Lingfield. I’m off tomorrow so let’s hope we can sign off with a winner today.
Tipperary
3:05 – Teed Up – 17/2 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Hasn’t been seen since well down the field and beaten favourite in the Irish Lincolnshire back in March. Finished a 1 ¼ length 2nd of 11 in this race 12 months ago before going on to win a Galway handicap off 1lb higher later in the month. Goes well on soft/heavy ground and if he’s ready to roll after a 197-day absence is handicapped to win.
3:35 – Carrytheone – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Comes into the race one of the least exposed of the of the 13 runners. Comfortably landed a minor race at Gowran Park last time. The 4-year-old goes well on soft ground and is fresher than most with this being just his third start of the season. Steps into pattern company for the first time but could be up to winning.
Lingfield
1:30 – Incumbent – 3/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Is bred to better with racing but he’s already shown he’s got the ability to win a race like this when a 2 ½ length 2nd 0f 10 on his nursery/all weather debut at Kempton last month. Open to further improvement and is the one to beat.
3:00 – My Frankel – 11/4 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Had looked set for a good season when making it 2-2 on the all-weather when winning at Kempton in April. Has largely been disappointing on turf since but did finish 3rd of 12 in the Old Newton Cup in July. Just 1lb above his last winning mark he needs the first-time tongue tie and a return to the synthetics to galvanise back to his best after a poor run at Ascot last month.
Cheers
John
