Weekly Eye-Catchers 30TH Oct – 5th Nov 2023

 

30th October – 2:50 Galway 

 

Nawraq 

 

Nice enough comeback after a year off the track. Drawn in 18 made tasks very hard to be handy, got there eventually but was always wide covering plenty of ground in the process. Shocked was only beaten 5l in the end, and it was a very nice comeback. TP headgear combo looked to work a treat, will back in future if nice draw on tight tracks. 

 

30th October – 4:50 Newcastle 

 

Swift Storm 

 

Nice debut, travelled well if not overaced slightly at times. Went to make challenged but no run, switched inside and ran on very well. Jockey and horse both looked to shit them self abit when going for gap late but was a nice enough run-on debut. Should be winning a maiden nto.

 

31st October - 12:20 Curragh 

 

Babyface 

 

Showed enough here (in what looks a deep maiden) to suggest he has enough ability to work with. Travelling well slightly off the pace, held together but never exactly picked up once asked, more than likely blew up whilst not really staying. Ground isn’t a problem, would like to see him step back down in trip to 5f, has a nice cruising speed to get into races and hopefully pick a few up. 

 

1st November – 5:15 Kempton 

 

Kathmandu 

 

Well bred type from a yard who’s horses most likely will come on for a debut. Restrained in rear, travelled well into the straight but very far back and not put in the race till too late. Did nice late work down the outside and was nearest the finish. I can imagine this horse is a 100+ one and should be winning NTO. 

 

3rd November – 5:30 Dundalk 

 

Sam’s Xpress 

 

Huge run here against big bias. Him and Betrayed set mental fractions out in front, it was only a matter of time that they both dropped away buy Sam’s Xpress stayed on grimly and was only run down in the final half a furlong. He should have been out the back of the TV with the pace he went. I’d be very keen to keep him onside over 5f at Dundalk this winter.

 

3rd November – 6:30 Dundalk 

 

Swan Band 

 

Nice run here after 104 days off, missed break slightly, held up in rear, made stylish headway into place contention but was ultimately too far back and gave up vital track position to better fancied rivals. Will come on for that run and should be hard to beat nto in maidens. 

 

5th November – 3:55 Lingfield

 

Ajrad

 

Very poorly judged ride. Clearly wasn’t off here. Tanked out the back, went for a run on the inside, was never going to get a run, should have come round outside and came over the top like he did in his last C&D win. On a very low mark now and providing that hes trying to win, should be winning over 7f at Lingfield soon.

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...
