Thursday Selections – September 3rd 2020

Hi all,

Yesterday didn’t work out at all as all four selections crashed and burned. Today’s selections are from Chelmsford, Salisbury and a race flat meeting at Punchestown.

Chelmsford

8:20 – Never Dark – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Made a winning handicap debut when dropped to 5f at Kempton on the return from lockdown. The 4-year-old hasn’t been able to build on that success on three subsequent starts all in better races, although wasn’t disgraced when 4th of 10 here over 6f two starts back. For one who looks to be prominent he had a good draw in stall 3 and should give us a good run for our money.

Salisbury

4:50 – Nasraawy – 7/2 @ Bet365 – The selection has finished runner-up on all three of his starts but has improved his RPR’s on each run and last time finished nicely clear of the third on his handicap debut. Up 3lb but he’s been gelded since that last start and surely won’t be long before losing his maiden tag.

Punchestown

2:55 – Sasta – 5/1 – Gen – Produced an improved when winning over 1m 2f at Cork 18-days ago. She made good headway to lead two furlongs out that day and despite being briefly headed inside the final furlong showed a good battling attitude to get her head back in front close home. On soft ground the drop back to a mile shouldn’t pose a problem and despite a 6lb rise, I fancy the 3-year-old to follow up here.

Cheers

John
