Welcome to MarkYourCard for racing on Wednesday.
Little late going out to you today, everything was written up, but i was waiting on prices from a couple of books so that I could get on before sending them out. Mostly sorted now, so here it is.
We are still looking for that winner, plenty of places, but places don’t pay the rent.
We knock in a couple and this nightmare month will quickly turn around. It’ll happen, the waiting is a bitch though.
We have three to run today :
Little Tiger 11.0 —> 4.75
Handsheikh 7..0 —> 6.5
is on the drift again now for those that missed it was as low as 4.5 this morning.
The other was no good.
Will today be the day?
Jockey/Trainer Stats
Graeme McPherson
6 runs here, 3 wins.
2 from 3 with Luke Morris.
The trainer is 7 from 10 in the last 14 days so very much in-form right now.
They have one runner.
8.40 Kempton - Sonnerie Power @ 10.0
(opened @ 15.0 on 365 and immediately cut to 10.0)
Last win for this one was over course and distance from a mark of 60 with Luke Morris up top. "midfield, travelled well 2f out, switched towards centre over 1f out, ran on strongly and led approaching final 110yds, asserted towards finish, won going away"
Had a couple of runs in higher grade since then, beaten just 3.9l in a 0-80 last time out, dropped back in grade to CD of last win and jockey switch to same as last win all signs are good for this one. I like the chance. Lets see if we can get a price.
Repeat Performance
8.30 Hamilton - Iris Dancer @ 9.0
(3 places on a couple of books)
We had a go at this one when it ran last week, was bullied a little when being asked for an effort in that race, bumped around and not able to go with them once the chance was gone. The third from that race Impressor meets ours again and on watching the race should probably hold that form. But with horses in this grade, anything could happen, so i’m going to have a go in this one again given that the horse won this exact same race last year.
I’m just going to use the same writeup for it too 😉
Overall record, 83 runs - 11 wins 27 places.
9 of those wins have been at Hamilton.
all 11 of those wins have been at 6f.
Track and trip - 30 runs - 9 wins
Last win at the track. Aug 25 from a mark of 68 in a 0-80
Before that won twice at the track in Jun25 from marks of 59 and 63.
Seems to kick in around the mark of 60 and then hits ceiling around 69/70
Down to a mark of 58 for this one, Is at the right grade, in the right race after getting mark back down to winning one.
Its going to win here again, who knows if tomorrow is the day or not … ?
