Safecracker might be carrying top weight, but I still think he
could be a couple of lbs in hand. He won well off 89 at Gowran
Park last August over 12 1/2f and was a decent 2nd in his next
2 races off 0f 93 and 96.He ran well enough in 5th on his comeback after 6 months off and
last time out was running on in 7th over an inadequate 10f, off 97
both times. He runs today off of 94 and I think that gives him a
decent chance now he’s back over 12f. I think the 5/1 is worth a
crack at.All the best Sam
Nice one big G.
For me
STAR KISSED
Win
Looks very unexposed here and under Colin Keane could get home best of all.
Morph speed
Each way
Is a previous winner of this race and is back on a winning mark.
Joseph O’Brien is a regular plunderer of these type of races and he also looks well treated on that old form.I don’t know much about these things but why is the Derby a handicap and the Oaks listed and worth 20k more?
The more I know the less I understand.
Well done Sam, you were bang on the mark, as usual, with Star Kissed. I should
have done the f/c. Safecracker was a few seconds late having to pull left for
his run and was closing all the way to the line but just failed to get there
by a neck. Great raceThanks Big G.
Don’t know the answer other than it is a handicap rather than a group or listed race.
Cork 8pm
RAPPAREE CHAMP
Win.
Should be hard to beat in the result of the derby.
Was just behind rattle and Hum recently who fought out a battle with the derby winner.Hopefully someone saw my post and got on.
A superb ride by Dylan Brown macgonagle.
A very confident cheeky ride which will have cost odds on backers a lot of money on the exchange. The race looked to be lost when Dylan Brown macgonagle pulled his horse out for an effort up the hill a long way back with the lead horse flown.
Very cheeky jaw dropping ride which showed just how much this horse has in hand 👏👏Well done again Sam, I was tucking into my carry-out chinese meal
at the time so I didn’t see it but good to see you on the mark
againJust watched the rerun Sam, very cheeky indeed. He might have only
won by a head, but I don’t think the handicapper will miss him after
that.It is nice to get the form franked so quickly from the previous race. Had they gone up the hill together the distance would have been six lengths or more. With all the disparity in a lot of handicaps, particularly in national hunt, where the form is hard to evaluate due to non triers, it’s great to find some readable form. We don’t get maidens which look like class three handicaps over here.
