Racing Chat - Monday Sept 11th

[BillyHills]

5.00 Listowel

Newstart 7/4 PP

Brian Ellison loves his raids on Ireland and landed a 1-2-3 the other week at Galway. This 6yo was second at the same venue last time out in a very competitive 16-runner handicap. This looks a bit easier than that and should get his head in front after some very consistent efforts.

Not a great price but the meetings on Monday are very average and the stand out selections are limited.

Hi Billy Hills, I'm taking you on with the rank outsider here with Mackey Boy at a huge 50-1.

Inconsistent type but is more than capable when it all comes together. Definitely on a workable mark and the ground won't be a problem. Has run well here a couple of times in the past on this ground and his best three runs came after disappointing runs just before. 

Few pulled ups but clearly had issues as had three years off between 2012-2015. Might not have still been right at the end of 2016 and would have needed that last run after another 8 months off.

He's obviously 50-1 again for a reason but he has ability and a good run definitely wouldn't surprise me at those odds.
