Horse Racing Bets Wednesday 26th April

[SAMOAN]

12.05 Kenilworth - SUNSET CLAUSE - Nicely bred debutante, but of more interest is the jockey. Jannie Bekker is having just his 3rd back from a 9 year retirement and fair to say he was pretty useful " back in the day " Hopefully he can get his first win since returning on this 16/1 shot.

12.40 Kenilworth - EVIE'S LIGHT and CHESTNUT'S CHARM - EL has looked useful in both starts to date and no obvious reason why she should not be up there again at 6's. CC is way more speculative at 66's, but is bred to be better than her poor debut.

12.45 Happy Valley - ALLCASH - Can improve on recent efforts now back on turf and interesting with Joao Moreira booked.

1.55 Kenilworth - RAISE YOUR HAND and ZANADU - RYH was much improved on 3rd run and can improve again. Aanadu should improve on debut effort, with a top jockey up.

2.30 Kenilworth - BLUE DOOR - On a fair mark and takes a welcome step back up in trip. Decent looking " dark horse " at 14's.

3.40 Kenilworth - FROSTED HONEY - Fair winner last time and rise in the weights looks fair. Quite short at 5's, but this is about right.

4.15 Kenilworth - MISS MYMONEY and XBELANI - Top 2 in the betting both concern me, but can't have either at the price. Gone with this pair instead, who are both capable and both have EW claims at 20's.

2.20 Catterick - FOUR WISHES and PONTECARLO BOY - Pair of handicap debutantes, both available at 10's.

7.15 Punchestown - DAWN SHADOW and JELAN - DS is back on better ground and no surprise if she took a step forward at 16's. Jelan represents Jessie Harrington and is ridden by Katie Walsh. Interesting back from hurdling at 14's

 

[SAMOAN]

3.50 Epsom - INNOCENT TOUCH - C&D winner who should be spot on after decent comeback run at Pontefract;

4.20 Punchestown - MILSEAN - Lost his way a bit this year, but has ability and makes his debut today for Gordon Elliott. Could easily surprise at 12's.

6.35 Exeter - BOSS IN BOOTS - Returns to hurdles in a weak looking race and should be thereabouts at 5's.

6.40 Punchestown - PEOPLES PARK - Disappointing of late but back on better ground today. Rachael Blackmore booked and should be involved getting weight all round.

The Kenilworth meeting, whilst live on ATTHERACES ( first 4 contests only ) has been delayed 25 minutes. Early coverage being shared with Happy Valley ( first 5 )

 

[SAMOAN]

12.15 Happy Valley - TREASURE AND GOLD - Nicely drawn, worth a crack this trip and can hopefully lie handy from stall 1. Basement grade, so not much consistency on show, but TAG has fair course form and tends to run his race.
