The Neighsayers - Floodlit Fridays Week 3

Floodlit Friday Week 3

 

6:15 Newcastle – 7F Handicap

 

12 runners go to post here, and I have been eagerly anticipating ROGUE FORCE return back to an AW surface since he has move to Mike Smith. Obviously huge trainer downgrade from Tom Clover, but every horse has its mark and ROGUE FORCE is now 15lb lower than his last good AW run and 20lb lower than his last AW win, putting him on a very tempting mark on his return to the AW.

 

I feel this has been a cunning plan for a while now in the attempt of a monthly ARC AW bonus surge. PJ takes the ride what’s a positive over normal stable jockey, and hes got a nice middle draw so he can put him where he likes. Hopefully hes ridden in midfield as I feel there isn’t much pace on here and wouldn’t want to be at risk to a potential pace bias. 

 

He is too well handicapped to ignore on his AW return and he should be backed EW in my opinion.

 

Selection – Rogue Force 10/1 EW (10/1 365 , 7/1 Paddy Power)

 

7:00 Dundalk – 1M Handicap 

 

Full complement here and I will be weighing in with Week 1s selection of PIEREE LAPIN, who did run as expected in his last race but was caught too far back with the 1st and 2nd being handy. The form of the race is working out well also, with the 4th bolting up last week at Dundalk, giving me more confidence on PIERRE LAPIN for this race.

 

Hes now on a mark of 75, what on last year’s Dundalk form puts him nicely well in here. Hes drawn in 8 but can see him being dropped in and ridden cold again. Looks like abit of pace on here with Punk Poet, Free Solo and Machnamn all wanting a piece early, what should play into our lads hands. Can see him going very well here, shouldn’t really be out the places.

 

Selection – Pierre Lapin 12/1 EW (general)

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...
