‘Surprise’ Selections – August 16th 2021

Hi all,

Double Or Bubble’s impressive Pontefract win aside, it was an underwhelming Sunday for the selections.

I said yesterday that there wouldn’t be any selections before York but I was too hasty as there’s a couple that I fancy at Roscommon on Monday evening.

Roscommon

6:15 – Miss Molly T can usually be relied on to give her running and the mare has run well on all four starts this season. She returned from a seven-week break to finish a 4 ¼ length 7th of 16 over 6f at Curragh 8-days ago. Doing her best work at the finish last time. The first-time blinkers are applied today and she will be suited by the return to 7f.  Last year’s maiden win came on soft ground so any rain won’t hinder her chance.

1pt win – Miss Molly T – 7/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power

6:45 – Talking Tough returned from a short break with a better run then of late when a 4 ½ length 7th of 16 at Leopardstown 11-days ago.  The 4-year-old is now 2lb below his last winning mark and a promising apprentice takes off 7lb. Jockey & trained combined to give us a nice priced winner at the Curragh on Friday.

1pt win – Talking Tough – 10/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes

Cheers

John
