Leopardstown & Sandown Selections Thursday August 5th 2021

Hi all,

Two selections today one from Leopardstown and one from Sandown.

Leopardstown

6:55 – Reverberation won here over a mile last June. He’s been running well this season, and a put in seasonal personal best when ½ length 2nd of 23 over today’s 1m 1f trip at the Curragh two starts back. Give his hold up style he wasn’t seen to best effect in a small field handicap at Navan last month. Needs to be produced as late as possible which means he needs luck in the run. When he gets it, he’s capable of winning one of these.

1pt win – Reverberation – 9/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes

Sandown

7:37 – Dark Spec was returning from mammoth 47-month absence when an encouraging 3 ¾ 4th of 10 at Beverley (good to firm) 17-days ago. He wasn’t given a hard race that day so the dreaded ‘bounce’ shouldn’t be a factor. The 6-year-old’s best juvenile form came with ease in the ground, although really testing ground would be a bit of an unknown.  His Beverley run showed he retains plenty of ability. If he’s over what kept him off the track for so long then he’s nicely treated and can win a race or two.

1pt win – Dark Spec – 17/2 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook

Cheers

John
