Weekly Eye-Catchers 19th-25th Feb 2024

 

20th Feb – 8:00 Newcastle

 

Sir Benedict 

 

Starting to become a frustrating follow but did run a great race in the circumstances here. Got badly hampered at the start, lost all chance in my opinion, picked up the bridle in rear and did challenge for a place, ran on late into third. Ill be giving him a few more chances in 5f Classifieds. Holds entry on the 27th Southwell, will back him if price is right.

 

24th Feb – 3:55 Southwell 

 

Orchard Park 

 

Nice run amidst greenness. Slow away but didn’t lose any ground. Travelled well but when asked rolled around, did pick up well in the end but was too late. 3rd here was a good run and I can imagine she will be much better next time out 5-6f.

 

24th Feb – 4:35 Newcastle 

 

Raffles Wonder 

 

Keen in rear, exerted too much energy by racing inefficiently, needs to settle much better to play a hand. I can imagine she will be much better around a tighter track. The 0-95 Novices Handicap Hurdle at Hexham on the 14th March looks the ideal race for him, id be having a rather large bet if he shows up here.

 

24th Feb – 8:20 Chelmsford 

 

Mells Flyer 


Looks very well handicapped now, ran well here over 5f, challenged into the straight but not a clear run in the final furlong. Id say he could win in a weak race over 5f, but I will be looking to back him over 6f with the hood reapplied.

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...
