Naas 2.00

 

At the head of the market Oneknightmore at 7/2 was a subject of a lengthy Stewards Enquiry last time after a less than obvious effort by the Jockey when runner up. They explained to the Stewards that the horse needs delivering to perfection, pulls up in front and is a tricky ride. If you want a punt at 7/2 on the jockey delivering it to perfection, it would be a VERY GOOD BET, my thought is if I'm opposing that horse then I'm not going to give it any kind of lead, and let it take itself to the front and pull itself up!

 

The second favourite SHES COMMANCHE won over 2 miles 2 furlongs at Fairyhouse off a mark of 85,, was then runner up at Thurles over 2 miles off 93, runs off 95 and a huge danger if staying. This is a galloping track though so at the price I want to take it on. If you want a win saver on anything or an each way bet to nothing, this would be a better punt than the favourite though in my opinion.

 

I do think better each way value lies elsewhere. Laughing Trix may just need this off a 2 month break but a big danger if fit, Memory Of Youth may need the run off a break of 268 days but one to track and follow after today; and Flying Crystal is another in my long term Tracker who can win a small race like this at some point.

 

The most consistent Hurdles form on show and some of it looking increasingly solid comes from THE DREAMS ALIVE who is solid each way value on form of last 2 runs and this could be absolute perfect trip for it and conditions suit. The other selection is JUST ANOTHER LADY who gets a 5lbs pull with The Dreams Alive for a 2 and a half length defeat last time, this one ran better dropped from 3 miles in that race and looks cracking each way value at the Odds with enhanced place Odds and reserves to guarantee the enhancement.
