Hi all,
Today I have a selection from Leopardstown and two from Musselburgh, if its on.
Leopardstown
3:40 – Melon – 4/1 @ Bet365 & Ladbrokes – Showed he stayed 3m when 3rd here in the Savills Chase over Christmas. Today’s softer ground should enable the 9-year-old to reverse placings with Stablemate Kemboy. Arguably played to early last time so we can expect Paul Townend to produce him later today. Deserves to win a race like this.
Musselburgh
3:55 – Hills Of Connemara – 11/2 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – The selection caused a 40/1 shock when beating six rivals at Newcastle 50-days ago. Her success didn’t look a fluke and although the handicapper has raised the mare 6lb for her win it was only her second start over fences and she capable of that bit of improvement needed to defy her new mark.
4:25 – Bullion Boss – 11/2 @ William Hill & Sky Bet – Improved to win here over 3m (soft) two starts backand then progressed further when 2nd of 14 here when dropped back to 2m 4f, 16-days ago. the handicapper has nudged him up 3lb for his latest effort but today’s extra two furlongs can see the 5-year-old back into the winner’s enclosure.
Cheers
John
