Weekly NAP Competition, Day 4, Wednesday 24th June 2015


Recommended Posts

4.30 Worcester: On The Bridge 4/1 BetVic, Coral On The Bridge won here at Worcester on good fast ground almost exactly 2 years ago off a mark of 127. Since then he has ran several good races in much better company without winning. At his peak he was rated 140 and was 6th in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham in 2014. He turns up here today at Worcester off 127 once again and looks ready to strike now back down in suitable company. He's had a warm up race which we can ignore as it was on soft ground and should be spot on for this.

C3.00 Saltarello e/w 40/1 Betvictor This horse has only raced under these conditions twice recently resulting in a 1st and a 2nd. The horse is getting at least a stone from the entire field and with conditions in its favour, could be competitive especially if the new trainer has managed to bring about any improvement in the horse. On a line through Pushingmypatience, the horse could be on a decent mark here.

Carlisle 3.35 : Karaka Jack @ 25/1 bet365 e/w thanks Karaka Jack.....from Jim Goldie yard he had a couple in training that he hoped would get in for this race , Karaka Jack just squeezed in at bottom weight, He has won eight races from 7f to 1m 1f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft and on the all-weather, Only two of those wins came at this yard as he's been at 3 other yards and has ran 67 times, Since Jim got horse in July last year he's ran 9 times where they've ran it from 7f to 10f with his two wins coming over 8f at Redcar good to firm and good off 75 and 78 , and squeezed in off 78 mark for today's race, The yard ran him 5 days ago at Redcar 8f GF when he finished 3rd with Jason Hart in saddle and keeps ride today

Sals 2.40 - Dishy Guru - win at 11/1 bog wm hill 'Veterans' sprint handicap My horse is fairly well drawn, acts on the ground, has won on a stiffish track and hasn't got a bad strike rate for a sprint handicapper with 8 wins from 51 starts Hanagan up main downside is that he usually wins in class 5/6 and this class 4........however it doesn't look the most competitive

Bath 9.10 Light Breaks (5/2 skybet) If non runner Kempton 7.50 Qanan All of light breaks 5 runs so far has resulted in him either being prominent then weakening or being slow away. Mark Prescott tries the blinkers on him today and he has a decent record when running them in first time blinkers, as well as consistently showing a profit with his runners in 3-y-o handicaps.

3.45 Salisbury: Class 3 Handicap, 1m 4f This looks a wide open race with plenty of question marks over each and ever runner. So I'm puzzled to see a rather clear favourite emerging with Darshini. Sure, the lightly raced colt with first time headgear may well improve for experience and the new trip, yet it is not a given that he stays, nor that he is capable of overcoming a career highest mark off 90. He's opposable in my mind. Process is one of few who is sure to stay the trip as he has form over 12f. He won a mediocre race at Kempton and followed up with a decent runner-up effort at Newmarket, which however implicated that this Nayef son has already reached his limit. He is vulnerable to any improver. Oceane was only seen in France so far. It's a tough task assigned today and he is best watched. Simple Verse is a distance winner and was a fine second at Goodwood recently. She could have more to offer but the handicapper takes no chances with her - 5lb up for 3/4l defeat - that's a bit harsh. Unexposed Life Less Ordinary won a 12f Handicap at Windsor in very taking style. He was quickly turned out again but the drop in trip as well as softish ground didn't seem to suit. He travelled like the winner for a long time but hung badly in the closing stages. Back to 12f with quick conditions sure to suit, appeals as an improver. Roger Charlton's Marmot won a class 5 Handicap at Brighton recently. He may get the new trip but much more is required here today up in class. Polarisation looks a bad price given his overall record. The step up in trip seems more like the last resort than anything likely to suit. Man Look is lightly raced and was not disgraced in fourth the last time. As feather weight in this contest he can't be underestimated. Steady Major is well exposed and hard to fancy. Verdict: On the prices on offer I feel Life Less Ordinary is the overpriced runner in this field. He looked to have tons in hand when he won at Windsor and travelled equally well the next time for a long time while conditions seemingly didn't suit. Back from a little break and with trip and ground in his favour today, he strikes me as a potentially well handicapped individual. Life Less Ordinary @ 15/2 VC

3.35 carlisle dubai hills would have every chance if putting it all in, but with being very inconsistent you just never know. however, at massive odds its well worth taking a chance on a horse that has the ability to go close and gets the assistance of graham lee. no trip and ground concerns and a mark of 84 is fair. 1pt win 40/1 bet victor bog
