Re: Roscommon (eve) - Tuesday 3rd August Poor thread looks bare, here's my only bet at Roscommon. 20:55 Roscommon - Tistobesure - 1pt e/w @ 7/1 (Bet365) Off the track for 15 odd months but for what reason only God knows! From a tiny yard who have only had one runner since he has been out. Cost only £5,000 but showed plenty of ability last year on all three starts with form reading 5-3-2. Really should of won that last race in which he came second when Robbie McNamara was on board for the first time, he changed the horses usual prominent tactics and switched him off in mid-div and hit go in the final 4f and just got caught very late on. Got pulled out of a race a month ago for some reason, hopefully they've got their eye on a win here and Robbie Mac being on board suggests that they have. It's his only ride at a course he rarely goes to, had rode 9 times here and is without a win, hopefully that will change here. First time on quick ground but breeding suggests that will be no problem, his Sire has won on GF and placed a couple of times also. The Sire only ran 4 times but was a speedy sort over middle distances, placed in Group 1's and Group 2's over in France. He should go well and looks great each way value in comparison to the favourite from the Mullins yard who should also go well but is a terrible price and certainly opposable. Small each way on Robbie McNamara's only ride of the day.
