Monthly Naps Comp, ''Saturday'' 2nd Jan 2016


Recommended Posts

12.30 Chelmsford

Clary has been in very good form recently winning 3 times in the Autumn including twice over CD, latest off 59 has been coming up a little short recently off revised mark but this looks a lot easier and latest effort was a huge step back in the right direction when finishing well from a hopeless position. The fact she is 2 from 2 around here, she may take the necessary step back in the right direction today.

 

1pt win Clary 9/4 PP

Sandown 3:00 Reaping The Reward @ 7/1 betvictor e/w thanks

Reaping The Reward.....from Lucinda Russell yard who also sends Lie Forrit down from Perth in Scotland with stable jockey Peter Buchanan picking Lie Forrit to ride and Lucinda booking Richard Johnson to ride Reaping The Reward. Reaping The Reward is a 12yo who still gets a result now and then but with Lucinda sending the horses all the way down to Sandown over 500 miles , He made a encouraging comeback run at Doncaster 3m soft last month when 2nd beaten 5 lengths by Sego Success

1.50 Sandown - Just Cameron @ 7/1 William Hill

Highly progressive chaser who finished last season 2nd behind Un De Sceaux in a Grade 1 at Punchestown. Off 149 there's scope for further improvement with just 4 starts over fences and the testing ground will be ideal. He was being primed for the Tingle Creek before being withdrawn and a handicap at the abandoned Wetherby meeting over Christmas so hopefully he is fit enough to do himself justice.

3.00 Sandown

RELAX @ 10/1 Coral

Trainer has a strong hand in this race with three runners but stable jockey takes the ride on this. Heavy ground really suits with two wins and a second from four runs. Has a CD win to his name and has run well here on a couple of other occasions. Trainer continues in fine form with 5 winners from her last 11 runners.

3.00 Sandown:  Veterans Handicap Chase Final

Cracking contest for the first ever running of the Veterans Series Final. 16 runners have turned up and it looks extremely competitive. Reaping The Reward looks like being the favourite and Richard Johnson has a rare ride for Lucinda Russell. He was second last time out on his comeback and should go well. My two against the field however are Soll and Relax. Soll is from the Pipe yard and has been running well in big handicaps, he will love the ground and stays all day. Relax was well beaten on his reappearance but qualified for this final which was the main aim. A C/D winner and looks like a plan from the Venetia Williams yard.

Selection: Soll 8/1 Bet365

2.00 Southwell: Class 4 Handicap, 7f

Shootingsta is the solid form choice and deserved favourite. Good second over course and distance lto, though current mark doesn't leave much room for error. 

The main dangers might be: The filly Assault On Rome, who has won at Wolverhampton over 7f when last seen, only 3lb up and still likely to be on a fair mark judged on past form. Southwell debut but may be alright if preference for soft going on turf is any indicator. Stays further.

Captain Revelation drops to a handy mark, 1lb below last win. Front-runner who has been placed at Southwell in the past. Visor off and back from break.

Golden Highway has been poor since getting off the mark on debut at Chelmsford last year. However drops markedly in trip and mark and might be well suited by this test with pedigree suggesting he’ll act here however has been off for half a year.

Verdict: I feel Assault On Rome is a huge price given her good recent form and the fact she has a good draw and stays further. She should be up with the pace, which I expect to be lethal, and in a slug to the line she might be able to grind it out, given she acts on the fibresand.
