Saturday Racing - (Haydock Sprint Cup, Scoop 6 etc..)

[richard-westwood]

Limato   99.41

Suedous  99.35

Limatos recent run against M eccas Angel reads very well and it was a very fast time in the process so should run a huge race if conditions remain on the good side....of the others ...suedois has collateral form withnlimato putting him with a couple of lengths and in these sprints anything can happen so at 12/1 he looks big value .....I'll take these two against the field in a classy race 

Limato 7 pts win 11/2 betfred 

Suedois 3 pts win 12/1 bet365

Tote Scoop 6 

We had 7 winners last week each sharing £59,082 and they will be gunning for the Bonus Fund this week which stands at £133,781.

The Bonus race is the 2.40 at Ascot, the opening leg of this weeks Scoop6 which also includes action from Haydock and Kempton and all six races are live on C4 for a change.

 

 

Selections:

Leg 1: 2.40 Asc: Von Blucher 9/2 Paddy Power

Nice easy start with a big competitive handicap over 7f. 18 runners line up and the John Gosden runner Von Blucher looks a decent enough sort who was second last time out at Newbury. He has been well backed on his last two starts and is becoming expensive to follow but is preferred from last weeks winner Firmament and Twin Sails.

Leg 2: 3.10 Asc: Stargazer 9/2 Bet365

A Heritage Handicap over 12f and the top of the handicap is the place to be looking here. The top four are all progressive types and i'd be surprised if anything lower down can win this. Of that quartet i prefer Stargazer from the Sir Michael Stoute yard. He was third at Goodwood last time out and won at Sandown prior to that. He's rated 99 at the moment and looks sure to reach a higher level in time.

Leg 3: 3.30 Hay: Shakopee 6/1 Bet365

Another tough handicap here and this time over 1m6f. Magic Circle is the early favourite after his win at York last time out. A couple of other 4yo's also catch the eye and my fancy is for the Cumani horse Shakopee ridden by Jamie Spencer. He was second to the very useful Barsanti last time and that form is good enough figure here. 

Leg 4: 4.00 Hay: Bowson Fred 18/1 Bet365

A 5f sprint and these will go like lightning from the off. Quite a few old experienced sprinters line up here but i like the 4yo Bowson Fred from the top of the handicap. He's drawn in the middle which is a good place to be and has been ultra consistent all year apart from his last run where he was eased once beaten. Robot Boy would be a decent alternative and he will be up there from the start.

Leg 5: 4.15 Kem: Replenish 12/1 Skybet

The London Mile Final and a very competitive handicap once again. Last years winner Georgian Bay will be a popular choice as will the veteran and C/D winner Sirius Prospect. Its wide open and a tentative vote goes to Replenish who come from the in form yard of James Fanshawe.

Leg 6 4.30 Hay: Magical Memory 10/1 Bet365

The big race of the day completes the Scoop6 and a decent renewal for the what was used to be the Betfred Sprint Cup. A Group 1 contest worth over £160,000 to the winner and Limato is the strong favourite at the minute.

He will only run if it stays dry but is the one to beat on his win in the July Cup over this trip. Magical Memory is a decent price on his overall form and will be ridden by Frankie Dettori. He looks value and can get closer to Limato this time granted a clear run.
