Sponsors Bresbet are reporting exceptional business in their ante post betting for the Easter Cup which gets underway at Shelbourne Park on Saturday night.
Spokesman Sam Tweed said: “Everything started pretty much as soon as we listed prices. There has been interest in the majority of the heats. In term of individuals, Good Cody is the result to avoid, with Bockos Viera being another result we’d want to swerve.”
So how do things look for the eight first round heats? Sam’s comments under each heat
7-4 Part Blake, 9-4 Knight Tornado, 7-2 Swords Maestro, 9-2 Auxerre, 15-2 Russmur Pat, 14 Muffin.
“Not too much action in this heat, Rossmur Pat small loser in the book”
5-6 Romeo Magico, 3 Scarty Yank, 13-2 Benalmadena Roxy, 8 Pierno, Sweep The Yard, 9 Deadly Diego.
“Romeo Magico and Benalmedena Roxy both popular when the market went live.”
13-8 One Time Only, 15-8 Sentimental Lad, 5-2 Jackslittlething, 13-2 Spinosaurus, 7 Crafty Bonanza, 20 Youcantcatchme.
“We got knocked over with Sentimental Lad in both multiple and singles bets. Laid at 5/2 down to current price of 13/8”
2 Coolavanny Duke, 9-4 Ballymac Merlin, 11-4 Vanderbilt, 7-2 Crokers Spirit, 9 Droopys Dude, 20 Dark Ava.
“The market has changed slightly following the withdrawal of Vaelgno.”
4-7 Susie Saphire, 3 Catchmeflying, 15-2 Beach Avenue, 9 Ballybough Champ, 12 Bobsleigh Dream, Droopys Sputnik
“Very quiet race, don’t think people want to take the short price on Susie Sapphire, but don’t want the alternatives either”
15-8 Jacob Tashadelek, Skywalker Cilla, 11-4 Ballymac Fairone, 15-2 Priceless Jet, 9 Fast Fit Paddy, 12 Monraud Thunder
“Jacob Tashadelek is another popular in the multi bets. Looks a very wide open race”
11-10 Good Cody, 15-8 Ballymac Wild, 9-2 Millridge Bobby, 8 Barefoot Supremo, 12 Hello Hammond, Storys Peewee
“Barefoot Supremo supported at bigger prices, laid at 10/1 and would be a bad result”
10-11 Bockos Viera, 7-4 Coom Leo, 8 Darbys Delight, 10 Cnoc Abbie, Millridge Doll, 11 Ballymac Belvult
“Bockos Viera is a result we’d very much like to avoid. Biggest loser of the round in both singles and multiples, and also one to avoid in the ante post book. Might be a case of closing our eyes and hoping for the best on the last race of the night.”
“Also, we’ll be running 3 pushes through the day tomorrow (Saturday). The plan is to release these at 13.00/14.00/15.00 and will all be under the banner of “Tommy’s Tips”
