One bet for this evening.
The form of the maiden in which Raif Beckett's St. Ignatius finished 8th on his debut has thrown up two next time out winners, both of which finished unplaced, a couple of improvers, and one or two who disappointed next time out. It is enough for me to take a chance on this seleciton, who was drawn 1 and showed good early speed to get on the lead, but was trapped out wide for much of the journey and faded at the furlong pole. Watching the replay, he didn't travel especially well or show anything flash, but I think that might be the way with Beckett 2yo's because I'm reminded of Oasis Dancer, who was group 1 entered and ran in a similar manner first time out. He won a valuable sales race at 66/1 on his third start. The selection holds an experience advantage over the favourite and many of the others just behind him in the market, and has acheived more than Plutocraft, who is my idea of the danger should the unraced hotpot fail to fire. Beckett's horses continue in fine form, the selection is drawn really well this time in stall 12, and Seb Sanders takes the ride.
Best Recommendation:
7.20 Kempton St. Ignatius; 3pts each-way @ 7/1 (Generally - make sure to get a guaranteed price!)
