Hi all,
Three of yesterday’s selections finished within ½ length of the winner in their respective races. The most frustrating was seeing Lone Eagle, 4 lengths clear a furlong out, being reeled in close home in the Irish Derby. When your lucks out, its out.
Today’s selections are from Windsor and the Curragh.
Windsor
3:25 – Russian Virtue – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Remains a maiden after seven starts but put in a career best effort when a ½ length 2nd of 10 at Sandown 16-days ago. Today’s extra 1 ½ furlongs should suit the selection. Same mark as last time and there is race in him when things drop right.
4:30 – Morrooj – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner of a Chepstow handicap last August (soft) showed she handled quicker ground when a short head 2nd of 7 at Salisbury (good to firm) 19-days ago. Up 3lb but the 4-year-old is bred to be a lot better than a 74 rated horse and is capable of a bit better.
Curragh
4:45 – Aesop – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner at Cork on his reappearance bounced back from a poor run here to finish a close-up 3rd of 12 at Cork last time. Good ground is a positive and there is a race in the 4-year-old off around his present mark.
Cheers
John
