SHAMROCK ATTACKS THE ODDS-ON FAVOURITES: Our man warns against taking odds on at Thurles today, with the going heavy, but reckons the meeting will open with a short-priced winning favourite.
One or more odds-on shots may get stuck today. But which of the three at Thurles to oppose in the mud?
Apt Approach (1.05) loves deep ground, but was let down by his jumping last season, and Ballinahow Lady – getting 18lb – is the one bred for today’s trip.
Chaperoned (2.05) is a league ahead on the ratings but is still a maiden, and trying to buy money on this one is totally different to taking odds on a high-class animal like Grands Crus today.
In the place market on Betdaq, you can win a minimum of 85% of your stake. Blazing Sonnet at 4.1 is the one with most appeal.
This mare, a half-sister to Blazing Tempo, could have a real future and all three of her stable’s runners in the last fortnight have been placed.
The final odds-on is Zaidpour (2.40). He looked dynamite when fresh – won the Royal Bond – last season, and was afterwards placed in Grade 1 last term. He should be the odds-on shot that’s a cert today, the hub of my Daq Trio.
They say the bigger the field the bigger the certainty, and Bishopsfurze (12.35) is tips against this morning. He is 11lb clear in the ratings on hurdles form and is another youngster expected to do well over fences.
