[Aidymac]

Exeter 3:40 Very competitive contest here at Exeter tomorrow with some quality horses taking part. David Pipe has three horses entered into the race but I think his gelding Junior looks overpriced in the market. It is a race for the older horses and although he has the burden of top weight he is actually well handicapped on some of his old form. He won off a mark of 155 at Newcastle in 2012 and tomorrow gets to run off a mark of 148. He has run at Exeter twice in the past and ran with credit both times so the track & trip should hold no burdens. He has a very good record over this trip of 3 miles. He looked a bit laboured when 4th to Cloudy Too at Wetherby last time out but he has been dropped 5 pounds in the weights since and that was a Grade 3 so this Class 2 is slightly easier. All in all I think we could see a big run from the Pipe veteran. Junior WIN @ 10/1 Betfred
