Sunday 14th September 2014

Just one selection for Sunday - some cracking action today at the Curragh and Longchamp but only one I really like in the opening handicap in Ireland.


2.05 Curragh Zalty 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 12/1 (Generally guaranteed) - E/W 2nd

Zalty's second behind Line Of Reason over course and distance in June looks particularly strong form, and I think he will be hard to keep put of the frame on that form. He wasn't well drawn that day but appeared to improve for a strong pace over this trip. He hasn't really had those conditions since but I think this will have been his autumn target for some time, given the prize money of €90,000 for first place. He appears to be much better drawn in stall 16 today and although he is 6lbs higher than he was last time he raced here, he doesn't appear to have peaked off OR93 and as a four year old with just 15 career starts behind him there should be more to come. I expect he could be well backed on course and anything in double figures looks fair. 12/1 is certainly too big and we'll play each-way and win.


Profit & loss: day: +2.00 / month: -19.00 / year: +329.05
