Saturday 15th August
6.33 Hove
Ballymoney Zuma 7/4
Generally
1.5 PT Win
Ballymoney Zuma I’m interested in Seamus Cahill raider, he’s well drawn inside a middle runner, will get elbow room in opening corner must take advantage & dominate into opening corner, a solid effort latest beating Droopys Court, tonight’s race is no tougher.
Off the opposition
Druid’s So Bright
Will favour a middle path run up allowing red box elbow room to nip up inside.
Santa’s Spark
Recent A4 final Sweepstake winner, loss of red box a negative & he’s lacking a competitive blowout in two week’s.
Viad The Impaler
Lightly raced sort has scope for improvement will need to take a flyer to overcome coffin box.
Bartlemy Puma
Early paced sort will attempt to make all, loss of six box a negative.
Kilcree Silver
Has struggled to cut ice in A2 company, will likely need a drop in grade before he’s winning.
9.18 Hove
Mineola Pele 9/4
Generally
1.5 PT Win
Mineola Pele I’m interested in a progressive sort around Belle Vue, he will prove a handful if mixing it into opening corner, there’s limited Hove mileage in book, his weight previously on heavy side steadily coming down as fitness factor kick’s in, a snappy exit required.
Off the opposition
Pivoine Eminent
One competitive blowout since lockdown lay-off, best clock of late 30.25 there’s fitness issue’s at present.
Camdon Cash
Handicapper put’s up two grade’s for recent 29.97 win, will find life tougher at this higher level.
Military Jim
Raw sort making his debut, he’s vulnerable fresh on scene.
Tutankhamen
Rates main danger there’s limited mileage in book & scope for improvement.
Rey Alberto
Best clock of late 30.05 since lockdown lay-off, he’s vulnerable to a potential improver.
Two Ante post Outright punt’s
Summer’s Stayer’s Classic.
Droopy’s Catch
16/1 Generally
Paddy Power/Betfair/Boylesport/Betfred/Bet Victor
1 PT Win
Droopy’s Catch I’m interested in, he’s a interesting sort on upgrade, there’s limited mileage in book & scope for improvement, he come’s into competition freshened up with a couple Monmore win’s, he’s still finding his feet around Monmore & has not connected at lid’s, if he sharpen’s up at liftoff he’s a player for outright honour’s.
Waltham Magic 22/1 Betfred
20/1 Generally
Skybet/bet365/Coral/Boylesport
1 PT Win
Waltham Magic is a interesting sort stepping up in trip, short run to corner, she’s hitting scale’s at only 26 kilo’s, she could prove a nippy sort around Monmore, type to slip round in front & benefit with shuffling in behind, she’s unexposed over trip, she will improve with fitness & further track knowledge, she’s worth a interest ante post outright.
First round heat’s tonight.
(1st, 2nd & 3rd qualify)
8.17 Monmore
Waltham Magic
9.28 Monmore
