I was pleased to see most of the horses mentioned in last night’s preview give us a run for our money – some of them even won! Highlight of the day for me though was seeing old timer Our Vic (pictured below) make all in the Peter Marsh Chase. He has been a super horse for the Pipe team over the years.
My best bet at Market Rasen tomorrow is Premier Sagas in the 1.40. He wasn’t far behind a useful type in Turbo Island last time and a repeat of that sort of form could be good enough.
Mirage Dore has a chance in the 2.40 but the form of the stable would eb something of a concern.
Danny Cook, who gave Our Vic such a peach of a ride is on board Good Man Jack in the 1.50 at Towcester tomorrow. A former winning Irish pointer he is favoured by a stamina test and could go well at a big price.
Glenwood Knight, 3rd today, is entered in the Towcester 3.25 which is interesting. He would have a good chance.
War Footing has put in a couple of encouraging efforts since moving to Brendan Powell’s yard and has chances in the 3.35.
My selections for the Irish meetings;
Leopardstown; 1.45 Sports Line: 2.45 Solwhit: 3.20 Quel Esprit:
Limerick; 4.00 Quiscover Fontaine.
My thanks to the artist Lisa Miller for use of the picture of Old Vic.
