Hi all,
To many selections this month have running well and placing rather than winning. Today’s selections are from Punchestown and Nottingham.
Punchestown
6:00 – Love Envoy – 6/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – There’s €100,000 in guaranteed prize money on offer for this valuable bumper and I was impressed with the selection when he made a winning racecourse debut in a Naas bumper last month. Trainer Liz Doyle has her horses in good from and is 3 from 7 +19.5 with her bumper runners in 2022.
Nottingham
3:00 – Piastrella – 5/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Twice a winner at Beverley as a 2-year-old. The filly seemed to have improved from two to three when finishing a 2 ½ length 4th of 14 at Beverley on her handicap debut 13-days ago. Might have needed the run that day but is capable of more improvement.
4:05 – Angel Power – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Might prefer slightly easier ground but seems to handle a quick surface to. An improving filly in the second half of 2020 winning a Group 3 at Newmarket and Group 2 in Italy. Didn’t win any of her three starts last season but if she was to return to her best then would have a big chance. There doesn’t look to be much pace on here so I’m hoping the mare is sent to the front.
Cheers
John
