Hi all,
Friday was bad enough but yesterday was even worse in some ways. Mind you it was a tough day for punters across the board.
Both Goodwood and Newton Abbot have been lost due to the weather so there is no racing this side of the Irish sea on Sunday.
Curragh
2:40 – Fancy Blue – 4/1 @ Ladbrokes – Made a winning start on her racecourse debut at Naas 25-days ago. Looks to have the scope to make up into a good 3-year-old middle distance filly. How will she go on soft ground? That’s the big unknown and she been weak in the market this morning.
5:35 – Pulse Of Shanghai – 11/2 – Gen – Got off the mark at the 7th attempt when winning at Down Royal 43-days ago. Has since switched to the Paddy Twomey yard. A mark of 70 looks workable and the 3-year-old looks set for a good run if he handles the soft ground.
Limerick
4:35 – Internal Transfer – 10/3 @ Bet365 – The selection put in a career best when 4th of 18 in the Kerry National. The return to Limerick will be in the 8-year-old’s favour – 3 wins from 3 runs here – and he’s won on heavy in the past. This is just his 4th start over fences and looks capable of better still in the sphere. Will probably be held onto a big longer today and has a big chance if he truly stays 3m on what is sure to be a stamina sapping 3m.
Cheers
John
