1.25 Leopardstown Our Vinnie 3pts each-way 6/1 (Stan James, Betpack.com, guaranteed, 11/2 generally guaranteed) AND 1pt win @ Betfair SP. - E/W 3rd
A really interesting renewal of a race that has thrown up some very decent winners down the years. Pont Alexandra is the obvious starting point, but there are two negatives I can pick out in the case against him today. Firstly, he got it all his own way at Navan, Ruby was allowed to set the pace he wanted and simply wind things up from the front. Don Cossack clearly wasn't himself that day and the merits of the form are open to question. Secondly, he jumped to his right on a number of occasions and it is anyone's guess how that will affect him when he is under real pressure. This is a better field than the one that lined up at Navan, and I think Mullins thought it was a bit of a soft touch Grade 1 bar the favourite last time. Our Vinnie is our each-way selection against the favourite on ground he handles well. He has stamina in abundance and there was a touch of class about the way he travelled last time out despite the winning margin. Connections have taken the trouble to book Barry Geraghty this afternoon, they won this race in 2008 with Lizkennett and the jockey has won this race three times in the last six years. We'll have part of our stake on at what should be an inflated Betfair SP, our stake will be returned once the selection finishes in the first three.
Profit & loss: day: -0.40 / month: -66.89 / year: -66.89
