Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Newmarket and the Curragh.
Newmarket
2:05 – Lezoo – 7/2 @ Bet365 – Frankie Dettori was the big news off the track yesterday. As it was announced that he and would be taking a “sabbatical” from riding the yards horse. Well, the jockey is back from a short holiday to ride the selection here. There was plenty to like about the breeze-up purchases racecourse debut success at Bath 14-days ago. Today’s extra furlong will suit the filly and she can give trainer Ralph Beckett a second win in the race.
Curragh
2:35 – Straight Answer – 9/2 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – The selection bounced back from a below par run at Naas when finishing a 2-length 2nd of 5 to stablemate Dr Zempf in a Group 3 at Leopardstown 16-days ago. There was plenty to like about the colt’s finishing effort over 7f that day to think he will be suited by the step up to a mile. Trainer Ger Lyons had a treble at the Curragh on Friday.
4:20 – Rumbles Of Thunder – 9/4 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – Put in much improved display to win a Gowran Park Listed race last month. That was her first success for new trainer Paddy Twomey since switching from France last December. There should be more to come from her, and she be able to hold her own in Group 3 company. Yard has a good record at the Curragh with 15 winners from 50 runners 30% +21.12 27 placed 54% since 2016.
Cheers
John
