THE NAP (BEST BET) RUNS IN THE ST LEGER AT DONCASTER ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON!
Doncaster 3.35 Hurricane Lane (10/11)
Smart colt who has a near perfect record; showed battling qualities to beat Lone Eagle in the Irish Derby and improved again to win Grand Prix De Pairs by 6 lengths; extra yardage no problem and looks the class act here.
It’s hard to pick holes in HURRICANE LANE here. He galloped rivals into submission in France when last seen and has won 5 of his 6 starts now. He is getting better and this extra distance could even see him improve again. He is bred to stay this far and the way he hit the line the last day he certainly wasn’t stopping. In terms of a danger I know Mojo Star is being well touted by connections and he did finish in front of Hurricane Lane when second in the Derby. That form was readily reversed in the Irish equivalent though and even after his 4-length win at Newbury it’s hard to see him turning the tables despite the trip likely to suit. I actually think Ottoman Emperor might finish second. Better value too.
NB – Second best selection of the day
THE NEXT BEST (SECOND BEST BET) RUNS OVER IN IRELAND AT LEOPARDSTOWN!
Leopardstown 2.45 St Mark’s Basilica (11/10)
Exciting colt who brushed them aside impressively in the Coral-Eclipse when last seen; won 5 of his last 6 now and getting better all the time; this competitive but his turn of foot is likely to get them all in trouble.
This looks a special renewal and I’m certainly not taking Tarnawa lightly as she looks a very talented mare but ST MARK’S BASILICA looks one of the most exciting horses in training and the way he left them standing in the Coral-Eclipse was so impressive. Even if this turns tactical his turn of foot can get him out of trouble and he gets a confident vote to extend the winning spree. Poetic Flare shouldn’t be overlooked either as he has bumped into Alcohol Free and Palace Pier the last twice. This looks another notch up though and even his best form might see him come up short. Patrick Sarsfield just looks completely outclassed by all 3 rivals so impossible to see him landing a blow.
