After double success last night I fancy RR Turnover to keep the good times rolling!

Boy was I happy with last night’s racing. A lean week meant I needed a good run from my tips and Spinnaker and Flash Kancha delivered. The Diablo trained Spinnaker at odds of 11/2 won the 8:24 while Ken Allen’s Flash Kancha fought off fatigue to finish second as predicted in the 9:24 Getminted Monthly League Qualifier at 8/1. Tonight I have a sneaky feeling that the inexperienced RR Turnover may indeed turnover the rest of the field to secure a win in the 9:55 race.

New to Getminted Racing he has raced only once to date finishing in a credible fourth position out of a full field of fourteen on good going in England. That was way back on the 6th of November so RR Turnover will be fighting fit for tonight’s showdown in Dubai. Odds stand at 17/2 and this boy is worth an each way flutter.

Willy Plonker and the win a lot factory!
November 24th, 2005
It’s not clear why the bookies have placed ‘Willy Plonker’ at the very long odds of 34/1 for the 8:36 race. On 8 trips so far the 3 year old colt has been victorious twice and placed 5 times. Granted some of those places were in small fields of 5 and 6 but this Bernard trained horse has still impressed. Only ran on fast twice before and finished second in both of those though well behind the winners it must be said. Perhaps fitness levels are down but they shouldn’t be since he has only raced once since the 14th of this month. I’m backing ‘Willy Plonker’ for a place but concede a win is unlikely.

Shades of Naples to place at healthy odds!

The second televised race of the night is certainly one to savour. Some excellent horses line up against each other in an attempt to win the 8:24 from the USA. Amongst them is ‘Shades of Naples’ from the Efisio stable. A 2 year old colt he has impressed in his 7 races to date, winning 2 of them and being placed 4 times. Well used to this distance he has found success over fast going as well winning on the 31st of October in a classic encounter on this very track. It’s not going to be easy but at odds of 11/1 he should be good enough to snatch a placed finish.
