Hi all,
I’m off to Down Royal for a couple selections today.
Down Royal
2:35 – Slaney East shaped with promiseon her racecourse debut when 4th of 12 behind Snow at Leopardstown last month and build on that when beating 11 rivals in a Fairyhouse maiden 29-days ago. More improvement to come surely from the filly on her handicap debut although she may be even better over further. Trainer Jim Bolger saddled the winner in 2013 and looks to have a decent chance of another win in the race.
1pt win – Slaney East – 11/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes
3:45 – Sunchart finished runner-up on her juvenile debut behind Santiago before going on to win a soft ground Tipperary maiden. Was found to be lame after finishing last of 5 in the Derrinstown Derby Trial on good to firm on his seasonal return. He was sent off just 9/2 for that race which shows the high regard he’s held by connections. Not disgraced when 8th in the Irish Derby and drops into handicap company here. Today’s ground will help and the softer it gets the more like his chance.
1pt win – Sunchart – 8/1 @ Bet365
Cheers
John
