A good looking opening race here with the trap draw cause for concern at first glance and that’s for good reason. So while I think that there’s going to be some bumping on the run up and despite this pair going off at big double figure prices last week I think both LOOSE CHIPS & GOLDIES LINEKAR might be the ones to play here. Now LOOSE CHIPS did move middle-ish last week but I know DROOPYS MAC in two will stay pretty straight although wants the rails at the first bend so that should help the one dog stay true and he’s got more early pace than the two dog. He’s also clocked the fastest recent time and I thought he ran well last week in defeat. We might just get a price on him too but I doubt that will last

GOLDIES LINEKAR in three is the youngest runner and probably has a bit to find on the clock but he’s got a ping in his locker although he’ll need to use that to land this. HAVE A BRANDY in 4 can win from this box but hasn’t been trapping to his best and while GRAYS CUP WINNER has the times if you go back far enough, I’m not sure he’s the force of old and the 6 dog will move in for certain. 5 does have some smart sectionals though and plenty of early pace but to put into recent context his Central Park two bend time is a length off GOLDIES LINEKAR so I’m swayed not to include him despite having a real chance if anything like his old self. His two Romford sprint trials are solid enough though and given it’s the opening leg I’ll take some cover

Selections – LOOSE CHIPS (1), GOLDIES LINEKAR (3), GRAYS CUP WINNER (5)

We’ve got two bang railers in here and neither are drawn in one but connections of DRUIDS BRAZONA won’t mind him wearing the red jacket. He’s a very fast dog to the bend when trapping but was sluggish last week although both 2 and 3 pace very smartly to the first themselves so there’s going to be an amount of luck required here. BUBBLY CAIN in 3 probably would be my preference of the trio, more so because he’s the quickest of them but he’s got a mid to rails runner on his outside in TEABOY RUSSET so it’s another race where there will be bumping on the run up. Both 5 and 6 should avoid each other though, and 6 will have an absolute solo so despite having a touch to find on the clock if he’s led up, I think he might have half a chance of leading here. SAVANA JESSICA in 5 has missed the kick the last twice but I can’t see that happening again so if she were to break she can land this too, but she’s over 4 now and vulnerable to the younger runners

Selections – BUBBLY CAIN (3), SIGNATURE JACK (6)

Girls race here and I think it’s a nice looking race despite not having the quickest field. JET STREAM MAGS in 3 is drawn well and I’d make her the one to beat, while DROOPYS DIGNITY in one just needs to lead up the two dog for her to be a major player too. The two herself would be a huge player if leading while the same applies to PLAYBOOK in 4 is she can ping like she has done in the past.

AGILE DOROTAS in 5 wouldn’t be the quickest runner in here but is the most consistent to the bend and with the make up of this race could run well at a price

Selections – DROOPYS DIGNITY (1), JET STREAM MAGS (3), AGILE DOROTAS (5)

Puppies race now and both BUBBLY MAGNUM & OUR BOY SEAMUS were shock exits in the Puppy Cup last week when both going out in the same heat. The former was smashed in from odds on to strong odds against but missed the kick while the latter had less of an excuse. I’d be lying if I didn’t think BUBBLY MAGNUM should hack up in this as his penultimate run was the most complete effort I’ve seen round here for a very long time, but given his start last time out and lack of early he showed last week I’d cover with the 6

Selections – BUBBLY MAGNUM (4), OUR BOY SEAMUS (6)

Cesarewitch time now and heat one houses my idea of the winner in AAYAMZA ROYALE. This November 17 whelp looks better the further she goes and I just can’t see her beat. DROOPYS BIRD and BUBBLY ANGEL would rate the main threats should there be a huge amount of trouble

Selection – AAYAMZA ROYALE (2)

 

 

19:36 – 925M

Heat two now and just like I’m confident of the winner in the first heat there’s no chance in my mind that THREE EMS gets beat here over this trip. The caveat with that is I think she can’t handle as much traffic as AAYAMZA but she’s only a July 18 whelp and she’s got the beating of this lot

Selection – THREE EMS (1)

Heat three might not quite as obvious but there are three for my short list and I’ll start with ROSEVILLE EVA who has had a mention in my last two Central Park write ups. She’s come back just in time for this competition and she’s running well enough to my eye to think she can make her presence felt in here. MAYS SWEETPEA on her inside stays very strongly but will be running from off the pace while MICKS LITTLE GEM in 6 would probably be trying to lead along with the 5 but at least has back form to make him a player in this

BALLYMAC MICKO, littermate of Irish derby superstar PESTANA, was very impressive in the early stages of his race last week but the draw means this will be a different test although I do expect him to come on for that run. ANTIGUA ROMEO got within a length that day but has the rails all to himself this time round which could be enough to swing things in his favour. MELODYS SECRET in 3 was impressive last week but he’ll run to the bend like BALLYMAC MICKO in two and while ADAMANT TAURUS in 4 has only has the 4 runs, he’s won 3 and looked class here last week.

All in all I think this is a fairly open final but I can’t ignore the draw and this looks a great opportunity to get stuck into ANTIGUA ROMEO on the rails

Selection – ANTIGUA ROMEO (1)
