The Neighsayers - The Week Ahead - Week 24

Returned to winning ways last week finishing up on +4 and back to +21.89 overall thanks to 2 winners from 6 runners, along side 3 seconds... much better and still could've been better still. Obviously it's Royal Ascot this week, now haven't included anything from Ascot as we'll be doing other bits for that and haven't been able to spot loads, however a 5/2 winner at Brighton pays the same as a 5/2 winner at Royal Ascot so there's still to be had. Will add any Saturday/Sunday bets once those entries have filtered through and had time to look over them. Let's get into what we've got so far...


Monday

17:30 Windsor - Bint Havana Gold

Can’t quite fathom the price of this horse this morning. I thought she’s one who would benefit from a stronger ride now she’s gone up in the weights and Finley Marsh takes over the apprentice rider, the man who Richard Hughes says he’s got the best hands he’s ever seen. So that’ll do for me. Plenty of these need to prove they can be effective over 5 furlongs.

Tuesday

18:30 Brighton - Wrestling Avenue

Should be able to take advantage of the drop in grade here, with the 3YO allowance. Should have Say You’ll Never held based on previous form, with competent 7lb claimer further aiding that. The Defiant not won on turf since 2019. Batchelor Boy the danger if on a going day, but the selection is quite a confident one here.

Wednesday

17:25 Hamilton - Sea Girt

Looked ready to win and now second time up after Wind Op, should have his confidence back in that regard. Should get a stronger pace to aim at here too than last time which caught him out I thought. Big drop in grade from a 46-62 now into a 46-52.

Thursday

21:00 Lingfield - Spring is Sprung

Races off the same mark here and is unpenalised for last week’s success. Archie Young retains the ride and here can use his 7lb claim. If no pace in the race declared, could be hard to catch.

Friday

19:10 Newmarket - Midnight Gun

Was visually impressive at Nottingham, quickened up in good style. Quickened on the bridle and then again when he got his one and only go of the whip from Stott. Happy to put that down to greenness as that’s the first time he’s hit the front in his career. Should be straighter here and make use of the 7lb 3YO allowance. From a very smart family, bred to be better than 88.

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...
