Kate Tracey, Sam Boswell and Declan Rix return in quest of winners on the Dublin Racing Pageant on the most recent episode of Weekend Winners.
Within the opening a part of the present, the trio preview the opening Nathaniel Lacy & Companions Solicitors Novice Hurdle over two miles and 6 furlongs. Willie Mullins has a robust probability of success right here, with 4 runners in the direction of the pinnacle of the market.
Declan Rix…
“The horse I got here down on was Sounds Victorious. I need to see how the market goes however I believe this horse will thrive getting again on a correct massive galloping observe at Leopardstown on some softer floor going up in journey. He was crushed on hurdling debut at Punchestown however that was good floor which would not have been his bag after which he managed to win at Fairyhouse when him and the second horse pulled miles away from the third, however once more I do not suppose Fairyhouse was his observe both.
“I loved he changed his legs going to the second last and when [Paul] Townend really woke him up, he awoke the beast. Willie’s horses tend to improve throughout the year and I’m hoping that’s the case here. The jockey bookings don’t suggests he is so watch the market! Given he was fourth in the Champion Bumper last year he has probably been a bit disappointing this season, but I think that’s because he hasn’t had the stamina test which he will get here. If he drifts I wouldn’t be surprised, don’t let that worry you.”
Kate Tracey…
“My horse is still in the bar at 25/1 each-way about Wingmen. What I want is a lot of experience in a race like this. We’re going over 2m6 for Novice hurdlers so I want one who is a bit more battle hardened. We know Wingmen won a maiden hurdle at Navan, winning easily.”
“He was then second at Cheltenham ending second again in journey in a NH Novices’ Hurdle. That did not look to swimsuit him over 2m1 however then he was again up in journey to 2m4 when third within the Lawlors of Naas behind The Yellow Clay – essentially the most proficient horse within the race. That kind is strong. He would not precisely seem like a G1 winner in ready, however I believe he’ll outrun his odds.
Sam Boswell…
“Let’s be sincere, that is Willie Mullins’ weekend so who can blame Henry [de Bromhead] and Gordon [Elliott] for not throwing the kitchen sink at this one given the power in depth that Willie has in his yard. Ultimate Demand was a formidable 7/4 winner at Limerick final day trip and the shape has been considerably boosted from that race. Of these within the entrance half of the betting, Ultimate Demand was the plain one to play. I am not too eager on Supersundae and Jasmin De Vaux – I have been burnt there earlier than – cannot bounce.
Ultimate Demand is unquestionably bet-worthy at 7/4 however my long-shot Mozzie’s Sister is a extremely attention-grabbing runner agsinst the million Mullins horses. Declan Queally is having a implausible time of issues with a extremely good strike price in the mean time. This horses was crushed 4l by the nice pretender at Limerick and I believe you’ll be able to actually improve that – she was only a bit sticky on the couple of her hurdles. She was solely 5l behind the yellow clay which reads nicely within the context of this race. Ultimate Demand is my guess within the race however I simply wished to focus on her possibilities.
