Fancies For Today II

Busy tomorrow so selections have to be made tonight,lots of competitive racing but very little sticks out for me.
I am having a small ew on Storm the Stars in the derby at 4 30 at 20/1 a real stayer,guaranteed to get the trip and will be running on at the finish if he can handle the quirky nature of the track.
I will have another small bet on Economic Crisis 5 25 Musselburgh around 9/1,wins mainly at Hamilton but has won here and has only one way of running i.e sets off in front and tries to make all.This is an apprentice race and if Samantha Bell can get out in front she might be able to stay there even though the horse has never won off a mark this high.

My main bet runs in Limerick at 7 20.Kala Brandy could be underestimated in this race and I was very impressed with the way she won her last race over 2 miles 4 at Clonmel,giving weight to all of the others running on well without seeing the whip winning very easily.
I had Anna Holty backed in that race and Kala Brandy ran out a very easy winner.Before that she won a bumper over 2 1/2 miles in Wexford,again winning very easily by 3 1/2 lengths.

I am convinced the horse improved for stepping up to 2 1/2 miles,was 25/1 on only other try at this trip and ran very well behind a Mullins hotpot who won at 1/1.Only 6 go to post and they are all useful but 4 are mares and they get 7 lbs from the 2 geldings and I think Kala Brandy will take all the beating over 2 miles 5 furlong.Townend rides her on the rail saving ground and I expect her to go away from these and win.4/1 is available and that is very generous.

Perth fancies

2.10 Antilope Du Seuil @ 5/2 Bet365


3.20 Broughtons Bandit @ 3/1 Bet365

4.55 Be Seeing You @ 2/1 Bet365

All these horses run over hurdles, over a trip of 2m4f, trained by Gordon Elliot and rode by Richard Johnson.

The powerful yard are in top form, winning with 4 of their last 5 runners

Richard Johnson has been riding in hot form himself lately, with 5 of his last 8 rides resulting in winners

3 of the 7 horses are running over hurdles, Richard Johnson is 8/22 riding over hurdles for Gordon Elliot at Perth (36%)

All 3 of those hurdle runners take on the trip of 2m4f, Richard Johnson is 3/8 over that C&D for Elliot (37.5%)

Elliot has amazingly won with 17 of his last 40 hurdlers over 2m4f at Perth (42.5%)

The yard have won with 2 of their last 3 hurdle runners over this trip.

Elliot won in 2 of the 4 hurdle races he entered at this meeting last year

good luck to all!

Todays best bet for me has to be Bless the Wings 4 25 Perth,he ran a fine race behind Gallant Oscar at Punchestown and before that ran a blinder behind The Package at Cheltenham.
Off the same mark today I expect Bless the Wings to win over a distance he stays so well,6/1 is a fair price and he carries my money.

The bumper in Roscommon has 18 runners but looks a 3 horse race,i backed Military Road ew (PP going 4 places),this one is owned by Barry Connell who digs deep when he buys.Has one good run under his belt and the experience gained may help him to see off Prince D'Aubrelle (Mullins) and JPs Oathkeeper trained by Aiden OBrien.Military road has the very good pilot S Clements on board.
