Sunday Selections – August 22nd 2021

Hi all,

A bit of a pattern has emerged over the last few days a nice winner and a small profit and a couple of poor picks.  Yesterday it was the turn of Agartha who impressed when winning an open looking Group 2 Debutante Stakes at the Curragh.  To be fair I would happily take that every day because I don’t do multiples with selections, singles only.

There’s another Sky Bet Sunday Series this afternoon at Sandown. The seven races have attracted big fields and the racing looks ultra-competitive. Across the Channel there are two Group 1 contests at Deauville.

Today’s selections from Deauville & Sandown.

Deauville

2:50 – Asymmetric – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Armor & Quick Suzy will be tough nuts to crack in this Group 1 contest but I’m going with the selection who had three of these behind when winning the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood (good to soft) last time. He had three of today’s rivals behind him at Goodwood and can confirm form with them today.

3:25 – Ebaiyra – 6/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – Lady Bowthorpe got her breakthrough Group 1 win in the Nassau Stakes last time and has a great chance of making it two here. Preference though for one of the home team in the shape of Ebaiyra.  The 4-year-old has looked as good as ever this season, winning a Group 2 in May and found a steadily run Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud didn’t play to her strengths when a 1 length second to Broome last time. A better overall gallop will see her in a better light back against her own sex.

Sandown

4:50 – Fast Response – 4/1 @ Bet365 – The selection a soft ground 6f maiden at Windsor last month and returned to winning ways when winning at Musselburgh (good) 16-days ago. Makes her nursery debut off a workable mark and shouldn’t be far away with capable apprentice Pierre-Louis Jamin taking off a handy 5lb.

Cheers

John
