Hi all,
Another tough day trying to find solid betting opportunities but I have a couple running at Cork.
Cork
3:45 – Who’s Steph – 13/8 @ Bet365 & William Hill – The filly put up a career best when finishing runner-up in a Group 2 on Irish Champions Weekend. Not guaranteed to stay today’s 1m 4f on pedigree but shaped on her last start like it would suit as she was doing her best work at the end of that race.
The four-year-old is making her seasonal reappearance in this Listed race but fitness shouldn’t be an issue as she won first time up last year. The one they all must beat!
4:15 – Constantinople – 9/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – I have backed the son of Galileo for the Derby at big odds. So, its slightly surprising to see the Aidan O’Brien trained 3-year-old running here in a handicap. Ended last season with a 10-length win in a 1m Thurles maiden. In all truth he probably didn’t beat much but you couldn’t fail to be impressed with the manner of his win.
On pedigree he did well to win as a 2-year-old, His full brother Bondi Beach improved as 3-year-old, finishing runner-up in the St Leger and another sibling Unicorn finished 3rd in the 1m 6f Melrose Handicap at York. Long term, this 1m 2f trip will be on the short side for the colt but he will surely rate higher than 97 this season.
Cheers
John
