I’m confident the step up in trip will really suit KNAPPERS HILL at Sandown today and despite the burden of top weight I think he will take some stopping. It doesn’t look one of the most competitive EBF finals we have seen and although the stats will tell you you need something with a relatively low weight, I’m not sure any of them are good enough to get past the selection. An Aintree bumper winner he boasts a really classy back story and everything about suggests he should be better than a mark of 135.
I’m a big Mullenbeg fan but at 11/8 I can’t possibly put her up here. NIFTY GETAWAY at 33/1 however really appeals and stinks of each way value. There was lots to like about how she powered through a decent race at Ayr last time out and she won the race some way out to be fair. That performance warranted a step up in grade and she’s no 33/1 shot here.
BRAGANZA BAY was a big disappointment last time out for me. Looking back on it though, it was a messy race and you could forgive him that bad run. Tom Scudamore‘s presence aboard him tomorrow suggests connections aren’t here to mess about and I think he will prove to be better than a mark of 101 like his qualifying runs suggested he should be.
Sandown 1.50 – Knappers Hill
Sandown 3.00 – Nifty Getaway
