The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 21st - 27th August 2023

Weekly Eye-Catchers 21st – 27th August 2023

 

21st August – 7:50 Lingfield

 

Lucy Lightfoot 

 

Was starting to lose faith with this one but she showed enough today to suggest she will be winning or going close soon. Showed loads of speed, sometimes over racing but not ruining her chances. Made nice enough headway in the middle of the track, what was much more notable when the far side rail was riding much quicker on the card. Ran on well enough for 5th. Will be big prices in low grade 5f races, may need a bend to race around to help her settle. Entered at Chelmsford 31st August, will back if getting low draw.

 

24th August – 1:50 York 

 

Makanah 

 

Ran very well from tough draw, travelled with usual zest, made challenge on standside but ended up across the other side of the track in the finish, giving up plenty of ground in the process. Hopefully he doesn’t go up in the weights as that run would put him cherry ripe for a go at the Portland on Leger Day.

 

24th August – 4:45 York

 

Marine Wave 

 

Ran very well here, travelling smoothly in mid div when the eventual winner snatched her up and she had to take back, race over from then on but did run on very strongly for 3rd, clocking an 11.27 final furlong. Could easily go back up to 6f id needed but still has speed for 5f. id be keen to have her onside till the end of the year, she’s in savage order.  

 

Vadamiah 

 

2nd Eye-Catcher from this race, but this was a nice return to action after a wind op. Showed loads of speed, did everything very nicely on the bridle but did slightly blow up in final furlong what was expected on her first start for a while. She was the last off the bit and maybe the straight track caught her out. A return to Catterick on the 12th September for the 5f 56-75 will be high on the shortlist. Providing she gets a reasonable draw I’ll be having a rather large play on return to the C&D of all her wins.

 

27th August – 3:25 Beverley 

 

Urban Dandy 


40/1 SP here told you everything you needed to know before the off. Drawn wide here so always would have been a tough task but did show a glimpse of promise for me to interested in backing him in the near future. Travelled strongly in rear, made decent headway on bridle but flattened out badly and was well beaten in the end. Profile of this one screams a return back to the AW and going very close over either 5-6f. Keep onside on the AW.

The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 23rd - 29th September 2024

Weekly Eyecatchers 23 rd  – 29 th  September 2024   23 rd  September – 7:30 Wolverhampton    Breccia   Come from miles back here off a muddling pace, was stuck behind a horse who was getting eased off at a crucial stage, should have won imo and should be kept on side over staying trips   25 th  September – 6:00 Kempton    Nuptown Girl    Missed break and was slow into stride, green in rear and was always niggled slightly, race had already developed infront of her but she did run on well under tender handling. Will know much more next time out and could improve further for 7f+   27 th  September  - 8:00 Wolverhampton    Bay Of Naples    Hasn’t won for a while but his run here showed enough to me that he could be winning very soon. Raced pretty fresh here after 1 month off the track, raced handy and just got abit tired late on, will come on bundles for this. 17th October at Southwell f...

The Neighsayers - Friday 13th September

  No blog yesterday for the first day of the Leger meeting, mainly due to uncertainty around the ground we were getting. We’re back for day 2 though. 15:00 Doncaster - Big Mojo A lot to like about this horses chance today, starting with the drop back to minimum trip, showed his usual pace at York but failed to stay. Looks to be plenty of pace on in here too with Aesterius drawn on his side and then King’s Call, Zayer and Tropical Storm over the other side. If he sit’s just off these and strikes late he should emulate last year’s success for connections with Big Evs. A somewhat shock winner at Goodwood but should that was no fluke when running a good race at York when not staying as I’ve mentioned.  Selection - Big Mojo 5/2 General - 1pt win 16:10 Doncaster - Beatrice Shilling This favourite, Cabrera has to be taken on for me. So will be going in with Beatrice Shilling here. Without getting all cliche, she was doing her best work late at Salisbury and prove she stayed the trip,...

The Neighsayers - Thursday 5th September

 Nice to get on the board for September yesterday with Snow Berry winning at 15/2 (or 9/1 if you had the luxury), but with the 2pt bet going down it wasn't as good as we'd hoped for, but profit on the day nevertheless. 17:35 Lingfield - Ormolulu Think this is well worth an each way bet now seeing 7 furlongs for the first time and returning to the all-weather. Dropped down in the handicap considerably this year, beginning on 79 and comes here off 70 with the jockey claiming 3. This is the lowest grade of race she's ever contested too, being a 51-70 and now in a fillies only race that can only be a positive too. The favourite takes up a lot of the market here and he's not guaranteed to get his own way in front this time, with Twilight Dancer and Beveragino in the race and I think he's well worth taking on. She was keen in her 3 year old campaign but the hood seemed to have worked the oracle there and hopefully can continue to do so with the slower tempo of a 6 furlong...
