Thursday Selections – August 18th 2022

Hi all,

Today’s selections are from York and Killarney,

York

2:25 – Shouldvebeenaring – 3/1 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – Richard Hannon has won this valuable sales races four times since 2016 and he’s only got one runner in this year’s race. The selection built on his racecourse debut 4th when improving to win a Ripon novice 9-days ago. Not raced since but this has likely been the target and he’s open to further improvement.

4:10 – Mimikyu – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The selection is going the right way winning her last two starts at Haydock and when making all to win on handicap debut at Newmarket last time. Bred to be better than 99 rated filly and her full sister won Journey was a Group 1 winner at 1m 4f. Big chance for a yard that’s one this twice since 2015.

Killarney

7:05 – Insane Bolt – 7/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The improving Herring Island seemed to relish the mud when winning on his seasonal return/handicap debut at Roscommon last time. The step up to 1m 6f could suit and if the ground is testing, he will be tough to beat.  However, I’m going with Insane Bolt who finished third in last year’s race and hails from the vert much inform Peter Fahey yard – 3-10 in the past 14-days). The 6-year-old shaped like his turn might be near when a ¾ length 2nd of 15 at the Galway (soft) last time. He’s ground versatile but his best form over hurdles has come on a good/good to yielding going.

Cheers

John
