Hi all,
One winner yesterday so damage done. Today’s selections from Newmarket’s July Meeting and Leopardstown.
Newmarket
2:25 – Project Dante – 100/30 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power A winner at York on his racecourse debut. Improved again when a ¼ length 3rd of 15 in the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal meeting. He would have gone for close to winning but had to wait for a gap between the final two furlongs. Should improve again and should stay today’s extra furlong. Runner-up Go Bears Go has since boosted the Norfolk form when winning a Group 2 in Ireland.
3:35 – Sir Ron Priestley – 9/2 – Gen – Seems likely to get his own way out in the lead and a return to a sound surface suits the 5-year-old. It will be tough to give 3lb to the favourite Al Aasy but the selection is as tough as they come and he will be hard to pass. Could be the one to take advantage if the favourite underperforms.
Leopardstown
6:40 – Mosala – 17/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner at Dundalk in January. The 4-year-old put in a career best effort on turf when a neck 2nd of 18 over C&D two starts back. Did best of those held up in a slowly run race when 3rd of 10 at the Curragh (1m 4f) last time. Drop back to 1m 2f shouldn’t inconvenience and he can go close.
Cheers
John
