The Neighsayers - The Week Ahead - Week 27

There was literally no in between last week, the winners gagged up and the losers, well they're all probably still running now. Finished on -2.5pts, frustrating but just need to work harder! Cumulative total of +21.14 points overall. Let's get into this week.

Wednesday

16:30 Lingfield - Big Bug

First nursery bet of the year here and thought this one was fairly priced. Has a few bits and pieces of form that make me think 66 is workable. 2nd to Love Talk at Redcar who came 4th in a French listed race. 3rd behind Englemere rated 86. 3rd again behind Betty Clover R90 and Englemere again R86, Infront of Flicka's Girl R77. Best performance was 6 furlongs soft ground, returns to that here and can overturn the form with the favourite, Forever My Prince.


18:10 Kempton - Tambourine Dream

Whilst the favourite did well last time to force a dead heat, if the other jockey had kept riding the horse out he'd not have been close, so think he's a loser carrying a penalty here. Happy to take him on. Plenty to work with for the selection now handicapping. In all 3 qualifying runs, this horse has seen the whip once and even that was a tame effort. Does have form with Icecap from her 2nd and 3rd runs but think this selection has more scope now handicapping. 3rd run seemed one with an eye toward handicaps and hopefully that'll put her spot on for this.


Thursday

20:10 Newbury - Double Jump

Seems to love the softer going which he should get here, had an impossible task at Chester and the track probably slightly against him too. Back on a stiffer track down in grade he could take a lot of beating here.

Friday

16:00 Ascot - Molten Rock

Hasn't discredited herself at all in pattern company in 3 starts this year, when the ground has been against her for 2 of them runs. She loves it soft and if the conditions remain soft, she has to be bet. Will update in the Whatsapp.

19:50 Chester - Dream Harder

Yet again this horse caught the eye last time out. Hopefully the drop in trip and first time head gear can help him finish his race off strongly and finally get his head in front.

Saturday

Can't see a bet this far out. 

Sunday

No flat racing, ew.

Monday

20:10 Wolves - Alcazan

Won & placed off higher marks than this and in higher grades. Returns to class 5 company on the all weather with a competent young claimer taking 5 off. Should be handy in running, seems to be the place to be at Wolves currently.

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...
