Horse Racing Bets 8th May 2022

2.25 Leopardstown - CINCO SALTOS - Bit to find with the FAV on last running, but CS was debuting that day, so should at least get closer at 22's.

2.50 Saint Cloud - FLAMENCO FAN - Interesting English raider at 7's.

3.42 Bordeaux - MADDI FONG - Only her 2nd handicap start today and is the good young claimers only ride of the day at 3's.

3.50 Hamilton - JM JUNGLE - Debut effort revealed some ability and can improve today at 10's.

4.00 Saint Cloud - CHATEAU D'IF - Ground against him last time, but remains unexposed and has the cheekpieces added today at 12's.

4.48 Hamilton - MOSTAWAA - Remains below last winning mark and recent Ascot 2nd a fair effort. 3 from 31 overall record a concern, but remains a capable sort at 10's.

5.05 Leopardstown - FANTASY LADY - Listed winner at 2 and Irish 1000 guineas 5th, so obviously a useful filly. May need this off 350 day break, but stable in good form and can get one ready at 12's

5.10 Saint Cloud - BLACK TRACK - Better effort last time and a repeat sees him go close at 20's.

5.48 Hamilton - CLAIM THE STARS - Steps back up in trip and does need to find his best form when with Mark Johnston. 3rd run back so at least should be near peak fitness at 25's.

6.45 Hamilton - STRAWMAN - Looked in need of it on his Doncaster return, but did win 3 in a row last year and has won on all types of ground at 10's.

12.58 Saint Cloud - BABY RIDER - Top effort last time and rightful FAV today at 2's

1.20 Turffontein - NEVER TO CLEVER - Notebook horse at 3's.

6.18 Hamilton - WYNFORD - Back down in trip and blinkers re - applied at 40's.

6.48 Hamilton - Already with one, but adding HOWZER BLACK at 16's.
