The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 4th - 10th September 2023

Weekly Eye-Catcher’s 4th – 10th September 2023

 

4th September - 5:05 Chepstow 

 

Basilette 

 

Couldn’t give this away in the betting, slightly slow away, didn’t hinder too much, bumped around bend, responded well to that and was taken inside behind horses when probably should have come over the top, slightly outpaced but did run on under tender handling. Would like to follow over 1m2-1m4, hood didn’t look necessary to me, bonus if it’s taken off.

 

4th September – 5:30 Windsor

 

Qatar Moon 

 

Nice debut, slow away, made nice headway from the rear, behind horses when stumbling badly, nearly unseating rider, ran on late past beaten horses. Showed a decent enough level of ability here and should be better going up in trip. Not normally a yard I want to punt but worth small bets once upped in trip, 7f-12f.

 

5th September – 3:20 Goodwood 

 

Vino Victrix

                            

Showed here that his tame early season efforts were ground related, much better here on good ground. In rear overaced slightly, travelling well come with good run on outside, front 2 have kicked on and jockey has looked after him, not knocked about. Looks primed for another crack at the Cesarewitch, a race he ran very well in last year. Will look to back him there if draw and going in suitable. 

 

5th September – 5:05 Goodwood

 

Aplomb 

 

Twice the binman on board has given this horse complete stones, held up in rear, travelling smoothy, good headway but played far too late, hands and heels until final half furlong, flapping about but no connection with the horse, fast finishing 3rd. Should have won his last 2 races, get the binman off for a proper jockey and he will be winning for sure. 8lb lower than his 6th in the 2022 Ayr Silver Cup, surely looks the target? Hes in savage order and should be backed in either Silver/Bronze Cup. Ready for a big pot. Large bet at Ayr

 

6th September – 4:25 Southwell 

 

Gypsy Whisper 

 

2nd time she’s made the eyecatchers this year, broke slowly in rear, outpaced over 7f not really picking up the bit, come standside into the straight and got stopped when coming with strong run, got gap then stopped again inside the furlong, jockey let her come home in own time. She’s building up to a few wins now and she’s starting to look nicely handicapped. Return to a mile + better jockey on I will be looking to back.

 

7th September – 2:30 Haydock

 

Elliot

 

2nd time Hes caught my eye in 3 quick qualifying runs for a handicap mark, showing plenty of zest and speed, not finding at the business end, more than likely lacking fitness. Travelled well behind decent enough horses, was beaten far enough not to kill his mark. Wouldn’t mind seeing him gelded, I’ll be looking to follow this one into handicaps. Marks in the mid 50s will be more than workable. 

 

7th September – 3:30 Haydock 

 

Victorious Street

 

Nice debut, travelled well behind leaders, asked for effort, responded well but was denied clear run multiple times, race had already developed Infront of him and came home in own time. Nice US page so would be having a big bet if rocking up for an AW maiden, decent bet on turf also.

 

7th September – 3:40 Salisbury 

 

Soprano 

 

Sickener if you had backed this, she was miles the best here. Reared as stalls opened forfeiting lengths (8l ish by the time she had recovered) , travelled with zest in rear , made challenge late enough, passed decent enough horses easily, ran on very strongly for 3rd. moral winner for me and she showed she’s in fine fettle at the moment. Would be a max bet for me in the G3 6f Firth Of Clyde stakes on the 23rd September, Could end up in the G3 Rockfel over 7f what would also be a decent size bet. Deserves a black type win.

 

9th September – 5:05 Leopardstown 

 

Dartan 

 

Great run over inadequate trip, always slightly outpaced in rear, niggled 4f out and responded well, asked to make up ground around 2f out and took too long to respond, eventually staying on well in the final furlong, clocking good sectional and closing %. This horse is in fine fettle and is crying out to go back up in trip. The Irish Cesarewitch in late September should be the next port of call, as now he is rated in the 90s, he should get in off a low weight. 66s is available, I’ve seen worse 66/1 chances.

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...
