Hi all,
Indie Angel was a notable drifter (11/2 BOG) but that didn’t stop the filly from winning at Newmarket yesterday. It’s a good job we got such a good price as the other two selections ran poorly.
Bangor
3:45 – Elysees – 5/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – Won on the flat a Chepstow 27-days ago so won’t lack for fitness. Two from six over hurdles, he put in a career best in the sphere when 4th of 14 at Newbury in March 2019. Just the one start over hurdles since when pulled up on soft ground at Kempton. His best performances have come on good going so he’s got underfoot conditions in his favour. A reproduction of his Newbury run would see him go very close.
Dundalk
4:00 – Lady Sonia – 10/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Has been a bit of a drifter in the market this morning. Now the 5-year-old has only won one of her nineteen career starts but is attractively weighted on her 2nd of 14 over C&D back in January. Ben Coen takes off a handy 3lb and I think she can go well close.
4:30 – Silk Cravat – 5/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – The selection wins his fair share of races on the all-weather – 4 wins from 20 runs. Was knocking on the door at Dundalk over the winter and surely another win isn’t to far away. He’s now 3lb below his last winning mark and gets the first time cheekpieces today. If the headgear can eke out a bit more improvement the 7-year-old won’t be far away at the finish.
Cheers
John
