The Neighsayers - The Week Ahead Week 29 (+5)

 Feels good to be back, result's might make that short lived but we'll give it ago anyway. Will get caught up with the figures and get them in the end of week review but for now let's get back into the racing...

Tuesday

14:45 Lingfield - Alhain

Quite surprised this is as big as it is currently. The case is now there to say she's an all weather horse, her runs at Lingfield in the listed spring cup and at Kempton in a conditions race give her every right to be favourite in this race. She'll want to be handy and there looks little pressure in this apart from Purefoy who is a danger also returning to the all weather. However, Alhain is the bet here for me and the current 9/2 is generous.

Wednesday

16:15 Beverley - Orbaan

Looked set to run a big race in the shergar cup but was first reserve so never got a run. He'll undoubtedly want to run in the Clipper handicap next week at York but he's probably right on the cusp of the weights at the minute, so a win here would surely see him in. FWIW, I wish they'd run Havana Blue over 6 furlongs, a tracker note since October '22...

Thursday

16:10 Salisbury - Hope Rising

Will definitely be checking this one before hand but looks as if it's been running over too far, which there's every chance this is the case from this outfit. Has shown pace early so the mile should be fine, 1/2 sister to connections Mr Mistoffelees who won over a mile too. They do have the option of Epsom on Friday though.

Friday

13:40 Epsom - Havana Dance

Improving run by run and looks as if can win off 70. Dam won over 7. Concern would obviously be Epsom but that's the nature of the beast. Plenty of these have won poor races where as this filly ran okay in good races and can go on now stepping up.

19:40 Thirsk - Smart Hero

Fairly obvious one here but likely to get his head in front on faster ground than faced at Sandown. Beat at 1.02 in the run there but travelled lovely before being bogged down. Unchanged mark and 2nd start off the wind op. Rate's a good bet, stronger is Thursday's Child not declared.

Saturday

Have no real interest looking through Saturday cards this far out.

Sunday

15:20 Southwell - Party Bear 

Real interesting one this. Stank the market out on debut with stable mate ending up winning. Has come on steadily since then, 2nd start he was probably beaten by the soft ground and two horses ridden more prominently where that style of racing favours Ripon. Similar when stepped up in trip on 3rd run. Expect to see this one step forward now.

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...
