The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 23rd-29th October 2023

Weekly Eye-Catchers 23rd 29th – October 2023

 

 

24th October – 4:25 Wolverhampton 

 

Reidh 

 

Nice run on AW debut, travelled well in rear, settled better than he usually did, smooth headway into contention but he was ultimately in a bad track position for how the race was ran. Looked like a step up to 1m would suit or a stiffer 7f, will be plenty of races for him at Newcastle this winter.

 

26th October – 1:55 Lingfield 

 

Sun God 

 

Showed bits of ability amidst greenness on both starts. Travelled well here but was slightly tapped for tow, shaken up not fully knocked about putting in a nice final furlong sectional. Half-brother to Sumo Sam suggest the step up in trip will more than likely work the oracle. 1m2+ ill look to bet, may be on handicap debut.

 

26th October – 2:30 Lingfield 

 

Gloves 

 

Learning on the job she is, but has shown ability on all her runs. Races keenly but she wasn’t that bad on her 3rd run, settled in rear of mid div, was never able to challenge the winner but did run on well late for 3rd. She looks to me that she benefits running round a bend, and she should be backed heavier at Wolverhampton or Lingfield. 


Edited *(Has been given a mark of 63, what makes her chucked in in my book)

 

27th October – 3:00 Sligo 

 

Menrva 

 

2 identical runs in Maiden hurdles, tanked out the back, never in the race but made nice enough headway to suggest hes got enough ability to work with. Jumping was abit sketchy at times but that can be worked on. I’d be keen on following him into handicaps.

 

27th October – 5:05 Cheltenham 

 

Milkwood

 

Ran well for a long way, took a keen hold but that was expected over this trip. Travelled strongly until 2 out, made nice headway but took a huge blow in the straight and fell at the last (very tired fall). Hopefully the fall didn’t take too much out of him, but this was a much better run than the formbook will suggest. I’ll be looking to back him in handicap hurdles over 2m on nice ground. Bigger bet if Twiston-Davies takes the ride.


28th October – 5:00 Chelmsford

 

Jailbird 

 

Very weak in the betting on 3rd run for a mark. Has shown glimpses of what I look for in horse what could improve for handicaps. On breeding he will appreciate 1m+ in time so it was amusing that they stepped him down in trip here with a first-time hood on. Tanked out the back, never in the race. Look to follow into Nursery’s this year or handicaps next year.

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...
