Best Bet Of The Day - Thurs 3rd

[jtw1]

3.20 Leicester - 3y-old Cond Stakes - 6f - Class 3 I like the look of IRISH PEARL here. It won it's Maiden over 6f on SOFT going at Windsor last season with the 2nd, 4th , 6th , 7th and 10th placed horses going on to win next time out. Next time out in a Group 3 race at AYR it raced far too prominently according to the Racing Post report but ran a respectable 6th in a Listed Race at NEWMARKET . Fergus Sweeney has the mount tomorrow and he has a 25% strike rate with the stables 3 y-old's [ 7/28 ] P Cole's OASIS WIND will start FAV and the stable is certainly in form and has a C/D win to it's name. However only 1 horse came from that race to win in that season and even the trainer admitted it wasn't the a strong race. None of the other fancied runners seems to prefer the soft going .

Re: Best Bet Of The Day - Thurs 3rd 2.35 Aintree Its not often you get one of the best horses on this planet turn up for this race but KAUTO STAR is on a recovery mission after performing below par in the Gold Cup & meeting another star in Denman on that day. Kauto should get the trip ok & although would prefer it softer probably has Exotic Dancer to beat on the book but has done that 5 times now when they have faced each other. Monets Garden will be thereabouts on a track that suits but when stamina comes into play, i cant see it living with KS.
