Clare Island to land a place in the 9:36 despite the shorter distance!

With an 80% place to run ratio Clare Island is content on finishing in the top three rather than crossing that line first. Trained by the Ashlands stable who are excelling as a stable despite joining up as recently as the 25 th of October this year. Has only raced on muddy once before and it was a bit dissappointing coming in 3rd out of a small field of 4. However that said he has given hints that he’s on the brink of something big.

The key to Clare Island’s success may be the shorter distance and Ashlands may have hit the sweet spot by entering him in this race. Odds stand at 22/1 with a placed finish on the cards.

If Bigo’s bullet has turned the corner then he could suprise at massive odds!

A risky tip but if it comes off we’ll be singing all the way to the bank! 40/1 are the odds for Bigo’s Bullet from the Evilo Racing stables. Has only raced 3 times in his career, winning for the first time on muddy in Dubai. That was last Friday , the victory made all the more sweet considering it was a strong full field of 14. A step up in quality expected tonight in the Getminted Monthly Leauge Qualifier off at 9:24 and the best we can hope for is a placed finish.

Chalcedony to leave the bookies feeling the blues in the 8:36!
November 16th, 2005
This 2 year old colt’s record on muddy is impressive. Out of 3 runs on this going he won 2 of them and in glorious style. Is well used to this distance but Dallas1 may have favoured another furlong or two. In 12 outings so far Chalcedony Blue has entered the winner’s enclosure on 4 occasions and been placed on 4 as well. At 16/1 he’s hard to overlook especially in the wake of his impressive victory last Sunday over Good going in Australia. An each way punt could be a good move.
