Hi all,
Just A Sting at 9/2 provided a decent enough profit on Friday.
Limerick
2:15 – Life Isfor Living – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection remains a maiden after 10 runs under rules but put in a career best when runner-up over C&D last time. Up 3lb for that effort at least we know the 6-year-old goes well on the track and on soft/heavy ground.
Leopardstown
2:35 – Encore Lui – 6/1 @ Paddy Power & William Hill – Has gone up 5lb for finishing runner-up on his last two starts in handicap hurdle company. Looks worth another go over 2m 4f and today’s longer distance may allow the 6-year-old to jump more accurately than he did last time at Navan.
3:10 – Delta Work – 6/1 @ Paddy Power & William Hill – A top class staying novice chaser finishing third in the RSA Novices’ Chase before going onto win a Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival. Was only 4th of 5 behind Road To Respect & Clan Des Obeaux on his seasonal return and first chase start out of novice company. Is surely better than that bare form and if he’s to be considered a serious Gold Cup contender needs to be back to his best novice chase form. Won the Grade 1 novice chase here 12 months ago so no problems with the course and I’m expecting a much better run from the 6-year-old.
Cheers
John
