The Neighsayers - The Week Ahead Week 25

Last week a blur, 3 winners from the 5 in the weekend but ended bet 3 of them and missed 2 of the winners, but at 11/8 and 8/15 it is what it is. Not too fussed out chasing to satisfy the figures to finish positive on the week. Too much pace on for one and the price just to short the other. 

Busy week this week though with up to 9 runners possible and in honesty could've been 19. Hopefully picked the right ones. 

A quick note back to last week, thanks for reading the reviews, previews and anything else we posted, every click worth it and makes what we do worth it. Finally over the Royal Ascot brain fog so let's get stuck into it.


Wednesday


19:10 Kempton - Mr Mistoffelees


Big field and big price but very good claims here in my eyes. For a big field there looks very little pace on, apart from this lad. Stall 11 shouldn’t be a problem in the circumstances. Loves to get out in front and keep going, first time visor should aid this even more. Highland Spring could the pace pressure but after last time think he’ll be ridden to get the trip and finish his race. This horses best performances has come over this C&D and looks as if he could winning again.


19:20 Ffos Las - Silent Flame


Well handicapped operating now off 13lb lower than last winning mark. Showed very little in the first 2 starts of 2024 but last 2 starts have been much better. Drops down into class 6 company on the back of her recent runs and this looks a very good opportunity to get back in front. Shouldn’t be too far off the pace.


Thursday


20:30 Leicester - Magnificent Match


Did well to win over a mile at Yarmouth 5 runs ago. Bumped into one after that and then ran okay again on heavy ground after that. The last 2 runs he’s been tried over 10 furlongs and doesn’t seem to stay, although excuses. Back down to a mile should see a much better showing and should go close.


Friday 


13:35 Doncaster - Minnesota Lad


Should get lightning fast ground here which should suit being a Sioux Nation. Will be held up in rear which is the place to be at Donny, hopefully smuggled into the race and finished fast and late.


15:30 Yarmouth - Four Adaay


Massive return to form last time when overcoming the Nottingham front end bias. Split two prominent runners to finish 2nd, drops from a 75 into a 70 here and looks to have every chance.


Saturday


16:25 Windsor - Havana Pusey


Better come back I thought than finishing position suggests. Showed last year she has ability and can win off 78. Draw key here though so will see what happens.


16:50 Newcastle - Sea Legend


Made a mockery of his mark on his UK debut and 6lb didn’t look as if it would stop him. Typical Saturday racing though so need to what’s declared against him.


Sunday


16:30 Wolverhampton - Valkyrian


Ran in competitive races since coming back this year and has tumbled down the weights subsequently. Last time was particularly eye-catching, not only was she in rear at Chelmsford but also wide, never really had a chance. Should return to form here.


Monday


17:45 Windsor - Law or Average


Outclassed in the Dash but wasn’t disgraced. All speed and if he gets an inside draw, should be hard to shop.

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...
