Clonmel 3.40

SEAN - Clonmel 3.40 Handicap Hurdle - 3 miles - 16 run - Yielding to Soft
RAJIN CAJUN is the one to beat here its won at 3 miles on Yielding to Soft off a mark of 90, previously won off a mark of 87, a mark of 97 will test it but it looks the one they all have to aim at and a win bet IS advised.
Duncarrig is best at 2 miles and was pulled up twice over 3 miles in P2P days, Walk In Time is not suited by the Going nor the trip, More Info has a win mark of 94, is OK at the trip and in the Going but top weight of 12 stones and a mark of 102 despite a 5 lbs claim just puts me off, it's the one not tipped that I fear the most.
Close Enough was a nice winner at 2 miles 6 furlongs and rates a danger upped in trip but i have enough concerns about the Going to swerve today. Speed Gang is a horse we have yet to see the best of and has an outside chance here but one i like the look of so will add to the TRACKER from today. At big odds a £1 e/w on MIZUMA may be a fun bet with a possible return as it's got some half decent 3 mile P2P form and the booking of JJ Slevin at anything like 33-40/1 catches the eye!
The pair I'm most interested in though (other than Rajin Cajun) are TRACKERS who I have patiently waited for sime last Autumn. Neither has had too many runs and often we've NOT tipped but watched but I am quietly confident that the patience is about to pay off.
WELL POLY went into the Tracker almost a year ago on the back of some good runs off a mark of 88. This Mare is back to that mark, showing signs of running into some form, conditions are ideal and she should be physically and emotionally hitting her peak in the next 6-8 weeks.
GIGANTAMAX EEVEE went into the Tracker when noted out-running odds of 200/1 a couple of times in Maidens and sums up the long term mentality of the TRACKER project. The last few runs have shown infinite promise and a fall when bang in contention last time was a massive step up and statement of intent. I'm convinced this one will pay its way handsomely this season and for the foreseeable future.
Sean Says is also in the Tracker but I dont think conditions suit this one as much. It's another to keep a close eye on though and we will do so!
