Good run by Trailerpark trash last night, The Iron Duke good enough to do better though!

At 20/1 Trailerpark trash’s third place finish last night was a welcomed result and with another little burst it could have nicked second position. In the 9:48 I’m tempted to back the Iron Duke for the win but perhaps a placed finish is more likely. This Butler’s Yard trained colt has won once and been placed 3 times in four competitive races. Also picked up a win in it’s only claiming race to date.

Both wins came on fast going at the same 2 mile distance he will face this evening in Dubai. Raced last Monday so should be fit, eager and ready to do well tonight. Lets keep our fingers crossed that he does with an each way flutter at odds of 24/1.

Irish eyes will be smiling if ‘Stay Bright’ can keep the good form going!

The age change didn’t come at the best of times for Stay Bright but still he’s a formiddable contender in the 8:48 race from Dubai. In just three races to date the 3 year old colt has won twice and been placed once. Some horses wait weeks if not months to collect their first two wins but ‘Stay Bright’ managed in in his first two. The first race in particular is of importance, over fast going over this distance he decimated a field of 9 to announce his arrival to Getminted. Odds for the boyle1972 horse today are 22/1 which looks nice. An each way punt here wouldn’t be the worst move in your life!

Next best thing to be true to his word!

Took a rest from running yesterday after being out on the 5th and 6th of this month. ‘The Next Best thing’ was placed in both of those races and has an impressive list of statistics at present. The Menace trained colt has raced 6 times, won 3 and been placed in the remaining 3. One of those wins came on fast going on this very track in the USA over exactly the same distance. A hard working horse he has run in a mixture of large and smaller fields and should go close tonight. At odds of 30/1 he should be good enough for a place if at least 90% fit in the 8:36.
