Bets 26/05/2013

I didn’t have a chance to look at Ireland yesterday so I missed Magician and one of my Meydan horses Hitchens. Not saying would have backed it as didn;’t look at the card but would have been likely. Only had a few winners yesterday and took a few hits, but again reminds me to just leave them alone if I don’t have time. Anyway back to today, Tom Pricewise Segal has gone for two today:

Longchamp 2.40 – Mandour 9/1
Curragh 3.35 - Hanky Panky 20/1

AOB is just ridic and probably not worth taking him on in too many races, but I’m not really average with Irish racing:

Curragh 1.45 – Sir John Hawkins 6/5, even though lots of money appearing for Master of Time

Curragh 2.15 – Bob Le Beau 16/1 won this 2 years ago of a similar mark, but it’s likely might struggle with top weight against some younger improvers. No idea who it might be, but chance with Raydari 9/1 who looks to be slightly ahead of the handicapper. Will need a smart ride though and luck in running with such a big field.

Curragh 2.45 – Watching Leading Light 4/5 stretch away from Dibayani was pretty impressive

Curragh 3.20 – I’m not betting on this race but Ladbrokes opened 2/7 on Camelot which suggests a lot of confidence behind him. Al Kazeem will give him some trouble.

Curragh 3.55 – Just The Judge 11/4 can compensate for 2^nd place in UK leg. It’s not a clear cut thing though. Big Break looks badly drawn but perhaps a better horse. Snow Queen came from far back to finish well in the UK leg and Maureen is freaking nippy, but sticking with the favourite.

Curragh 4.30 – Foolish boy for trying to tackle this. Not heard of any of these horses. Foot Perfect 33/1 has produced his best races on good ground over 6f. Had all of 2012 off and not really come back to form which is why such a big price. If somehow manages to bounce back to the form that saw him run close to Gordon Lord Byron must have a chance. Royal Empress 16/1 on form with Letir Mor over C&D last year.

Longchamp 1.30 – Parle Moi 6/1 looks a decent bet in form behind Esoterique

Lonchamp 3.10 – Last Train 15/8 ought to hold form
