Thank you VTC
Onwards and upwards
I’m race reading the Irish races and really enjoying it.
The lockdown has brought about a change in SPs and the outsiders odds have increased significantly.
The 100/1 winner in 2016 was the first one in 13 years apparently.
Since resumption of racing after shutdown there have been three 100/1 winners on the flatin Ireland.
Anyway
Tennesee waltz CORRECTION
TENNESEE WILDCAT
WATCH YER BETS
525
Runs off high 50’s in a 45-65 winner off 88 last August!!!

If you are superstitious like me small win bet both!!!

Finished way diwn the field.
Closer inspection of form shows although enjoying a massive slide down the weights there has been three stable changes since arriving at Ger Lyons from R Cowell.
With Lyons a mark of 102 was achieved and he was sold on his last win last August.
Something is certainly amiss but there has been a fall of 45ish pounds.
Conditions would have to right regarding ground and draw but he has course and distance twice. significant jockey change and a return on softer later in the season.

Tennesee wildcat
Needs a return to the allweather and claiming company. I hadn’t fully checked his profile on the excellent http://www.irishracing.com
website.
Ger Lyons comments after his win last August explains everything. He needs to be in claiming company rather than handicapping.

Galway 6.15
Meaningful Vote looks interesting off top weight in this race
A line through his win over Fame and Acclaim last time out may have him ahead of the handicapper as that one has gone on since.
Flying Scotsman is asked to turnout a day after winning over the classic distance and the drop back in trip and time and penalty may be enough to prevent a double.

[sporting sam]

Flying Scotsman defied his penalty to score a gteat win for his trainer.
Meaningful Vote took a significant wander in the betting towards the off and finished well behind.
Flying Scotsman did not incur a penalty for his win on Tuesday and ran off the same mark as the previous day, so on the up, he was well treated, dropping back in distance.
