The Neighsayers - The Week Ahead 20/03/24

Plenty to get stuck into this week on the back of a disappointing week. The flat returns Saturday and that’ll feature in its on blog. So nothing from Donny in this feature.


-6 last week but still +18.78 over the first 10 weeks of the week ahead. Let’s get it…


Wednesday

18:00 Southwell - Jeans Maite


Highlighted this back back in the very first week of the week ahead, stating she could face pace pressure that day and would be interesting when able to get free from the front, well that day should be here and I rate her a strong fancy tomorrow. 


Thursday

19:30 Southwell - Lil Wade


Didn’t have the early speed for 5 furlongs last day but once she found her feet he ran on well to be a never nearer 4th. Back up in trip to 6 furlongs and now down into classified company he should hold every chance.


Friday

18:15 Newcastle - Water of Leith


Well, this lad comes with a health warning but he’s seriously well handicapped and now back to 6 furlongs he should have every chance to show that. Got going very late last time at Wolves when it was a trappy race.


Saturday

17:15 Wolverhampton - Maritime Lady


Decent enough maiden at Donny over a similar trip the same day which will attract the classier sorts. James Owen’s filly has proved her self on the all weather and should relish this distance being a crystal ocean. Outpaced twice over 7, now gets an easier extended 9F, should be going close here. Has shown too much already to worry about handicap mark.


Sunday

15:05 Doncaster - Aleezdancer


Won this last year of the same mark as he liked. Is generally pretty good on any ground as long as not rattling quick, which there’s 0 chance of that happening. God it feels good the turf is back.


16:05 Doncaster - Harry’s Halo


This one properly interests me. Into class 5 handicap company for the first time. Ran some crackers on soft ground previously and I think he could still be okay off 74. Might need the ground to have cut up and be genuinely soft to burden this weight. Will assess on the day.


Monday

19:30 Newcastle - Stallone


Carried his form well this winter particularly on straighter tracks, Southwell, Newcastle. Come from further back than other entrant Lil Wade did in this race and got that slight bit closer. Still handicapped to win, hopefully Pyle is retained. Decent pace to go at would be preferred, with Doctor Mozart, Birkenhead and Rockley Point in there, should be okay.

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...
