Some dire racing about today with such small fields

I've struggled to find anything standout so i've opted for 3 races where they are at least paying on the first 3

MR 3.00 Caius Marcius @ 7/2
FL 3.50 Little Jon @ 9/2
FL 4.50 Coroners Report @ 7/1

EW Patent.

Have to agree Punt, hence gone across to South Africa -

1.00 Greyville - HO'OPONOPONO - Just OK recently, but worth another crack this trip and down to a mark of 77. EW chance at 12's.

 

[SAMOAN]

Decent start with HO'OPONOPONO placng. Next race ( 1.35 ) looks tough and had to leave a couple out at the prices. Ended up with 3 a couple of which are 25/1 -

THALER POINT ( Seldom been beaten far in recently and her late runs indicate that she could enjoy this slight step-up in distance. Soild looking 8/1 shot )
MADAME EXCESS ( Lightly raced and won her maiden nicely on 4th start. H'cap debut a bit of a flop, but willing to forgive that at the price )
ROY'S ZAIRE ( Worth a try this trip and has the odd piece of fair h'cap form. Down to 50 now and capable of getting inolved getting weight all round )

 

[SAMOAN]

3.10 Greyville - DANCE MANIA - Nicely bred and represents a top stable so willing to overlook 3 no shows to date. Huge leap of faith required, but not sure it is the strongest maiden ever and a big run at 100's is possible.

 

[SAMOAN]

2.20 Ffos Las - BLUE RHYTHM - Short on debut, but very disappointing 10th of 12. Reverts immediately to hurdling and bred to do better, so happy risking the 50's.

3.10 Navan - MILSEAN - Cheekpieces reached for, possibly out of desperation, but was once a useful novice for Willie Mullins. Another with risk attached at 100's.

3.50 Ffos Las - HORATIO HORNBLOWER - Fair 6th last time and now 2lb below last winning mark.

5.10 Navan - BOUBAFLY - Pulled out of intended debut due to the drying ground, so today's surface should be suitable. Nicely bred and interesting newcomer at 12's.

 

[SAMOAN]

4.40 Navan - CREHELP and MANDARIN MONARCH - Both tough to assess on h'cap debut, but do rate both as EW chances at 16's.

A Quid e.w on Dance Mania in the 3.15, with you Samoan. 100/1. A couple of quid on Storm Outing @ 4/1, too.
