Hi all,
Another very poor day for the service. Although as previously I think another winning run isn’t to far away.
Today’s four selections are from Chelmsford, Ayr and Thurles.
Chelmsford
7:00 – A Momentofmadness – 7/1 @ Bet365 – Hasn’t won for two years, but shaped like he retains some of his old ability when finishing 3rd of 11 at Goodwood back in July. Disappointed when down the field in the valuable Portland Handicap at Doncaster, a race he won in 2018 and finished runner-up in 2019. He’s edging down to a winnable mark and hopes are pinned on a return to the synthetics – 4 wins from 7 runs +19.50 5 placed. If the front runner can overcome stall 12, I’m hopeful of a big run from the 7-year-old with William Buick back in the saddle.
Ayr
2:40 – Sienna Dream – 3/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – A winner of a soft ground C&D handicap 12 months ago. The mare has been in consistent form this season with form figures 23332. She put in a career best effort on RPR’s when just touched off at Hamilton 37-days ago. Nudged up 1lb, at least she’s in better form than most of her rivals.
Thurles
3:45 – Foreign Legion – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 5-year-old, a four-time winner at Dundalk broke his maiden tag on grass at the 15th attempt when winning at Listowel 14-days ago. He seemed to relish his first run on heavy ground at Listowel. Raised 7lb by the handicapper but if the ground eases further today he can go close in his attempt at back to back wins.
4:15 – Brilliant Question – 6/1 @ Bet365 – A ten race maiden but the 3-year-old put in arguably a career best effort when 3rd of 16 at Limerick (soft to heavy) 27-days ago. Despite being slowly away she was very much in contention and still travelling well coming into the straight. If she can build on that performance she shouldn’t be far away again.
Cheers
John
