Hi all,
I’m going to be taking Monday and Tuesday off so let’s hope I can go into the break with a winning day. Today’s selections are Punchestown & Exeter
Punchestown
2:10 – You Raised Me Up – 7/2 @ Bet365 – Ciel De Neige bid for a hat trick over the fence. The selection was rated only 3lb the Mullins horse over hurdles and he receives 7lb from him today. The 9-year-old made a very promising chase debut when an 18 ¼ length 4th of 15 to Ferny Hollow in a Punchestown beginners chase in December. That was his first start for nine months and he wasn’t given a hard race that day and will surely win races over fences.
Exeter
3:30 – Emmpressive Lady – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A previous course winner, the selection made it 3-7 over hurdles when showing that she was all about stamina when outstaying six rivals at Kempton at Christmas. Genuinely soft ground suits the mare and despite a 5lb rise in the weights she looks a worthy favourite if the rain arrives.
4:30 – Run To Milan – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 10-year-old’s best three RPR’s have been posted over C&D and he posted a career best when a ½ length 2nd of 9 over C&D last month. He’s up 2lb for that effort but this offers him a good chance of a second success over fences.
Cheers
John
