Hi all,
Another bad day at the office. However, I think another winning run is on the horizon. Today’s selections are from Roscommon, Hamilton and
Roscommon
2:45 – Streets Of Doyen – 4/1 – Gen – An excellent 3rd of 18 at Punchestown 20-days ago. He made good headway from the rear that day but had been set too much to do and his running was subject to a stewards enquiry. He shaped at Punchestown like he needed a stamina test and should be suited by today’s extended three miles. There’s surely a handicap hurdle in the 6-year-old off his present mark for an inform yard.
Hamilton
3:30 – Mina Velour – 3/1 – Gen – Twice a winner last season when trained by Bryan Smart, now with Julie Camacho. Just the two starts this season for her new yard finishing third at Haydock and Thirsk, 24-days ago. Despite the 4-year-old not exhibiting the best of head carriages at Thirsk I think she can win this 6f handicap for a trainer whose 9-23 +18.70 with her runners at the Scottish track in the past 5-years.
Bath
5:20 – Precisely – 9/2 – Gen – The selection, the least experienced of the 14 runners, has shaped with promise on both starts; here and when runner-up at Wolverhampton (11/10) 19-days ago. Steps up to 1m 2f for her handicap debut but on pedigree she should improve for it. William Buick booked for the ride and I will be disappointed if the filly can’t go close here.
Cheers
John
