After Tuesdays madness, we look forward to what isn’t the greatest set of race cards on Wednesday, but we’re confident we’ve found a few good selections.
Hurricane Spirit – Kempton 18:30 – NAP
There is no price on this horse yet, this is probably because the bookies aren’t sure how short they should make it. I am going to hope the odds are odds against, like the 11/8 forecasted price. This horse is in impeccable form. Nicole Nordblad has ridden this horse the last 6 runs, winning 5 times! With her valuable 5lb claim, amazingly the horse carries 8s 2lb, over a full STONE less than the top weight Paradise Spectre. The horse LOVES Kempton and keeps on winning these low grade claimers. I just cant see passed the horse today, i really can’t. Prehaps the odds will reflect my confidence, but i hope not. Let’s hope for odds against.
Galway Jack – 16:10 Weatherby – NP 5-2 William Hill
This horse absolutely bolted up last time out at Uttoexter in a 4 runner race. That was over m 5f on heavy ground, but his other win was over 3 miles on soft ground at Southwell, this is 2m 6f on Good to soft. Over his 9 starts he’s placed 6 times, winning two. He’s up 8lbs for that romp which is a concern, but he come’s into the race in good enough form to take this. Allanard had the beating of Galway Jack last time they raced against each other, over C&D, which is a concern. He makes up an excellent reverse forecast opportunity if you were that way inclined. Tough race, but if Galway Jack shows the same impressive round of jumping on a surface he works well on, he could be a strong contender to take this.
