Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Ayr & Naas on what looks a tricky day’s punting.
Ayr
3:00 – Jewel Maker – 9/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Did best of those coming from the rear when 4th of 9th in a steadily run race at Carlisle last month. That was the 6-year-old first start for nearly 4 months so he’s entitled to be sharper today. Now below last winning mark he can win again when he gets a more favourably run race.
3:35 – Daniel Deronda – 4/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The top-weight has been running well this season. He found the race coming too quick when down the field two starts back but quickly returned to form when a neck 2nd of 13 at Thirsk 12-days ago. Nudged up 2lb but the suspicion is that he remains capable of a bit better for a return to a mile. Really quick ground would be slight unknown but a chance is taken that he handles it.
5:50 – Graces Quest – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The 3-year-old only won a Musselburgh seller last time but that was a career best from the filly and she remains open to more improvement off a light weight if her wide draw in stall 14 isn’t an inconvenience.
Naas
3:10 – Wide Eyed Girl – 8/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Had shaped with a ability on her three starts in maiden company and was a useful 3rd of 10 on her nursery debut at Navan last month. Given she didn’t have the best of passages she did well to get within 3 ¼ lengths of the winner last time. It was her first start since April so she should be sharper here and the way she travelled through her suggested she’s in a winnable mark granted more luck in the run.
Cheers
John
