OFFSHORE OSCAR (nb) – 2.40 LIMERICK
EACH WAY BET ADVISED AT ODDS OF 10/1 WITH BETFAIR SPORTSBOOK & PADDY POWER PAYING THE FIRST 4 PLACES
I really like the each way chances of the lightly-raced 9 year old Offshore Oscar in this who caught my eye when finishing 4th of 21 over 2m4f at Fairyhouse 22 days ago. He was leading with 2 furlongs to go before getting both out-paced and hampered by a faller at the last. He would have finished closer and it looked a fair effort coming back from a 420 day break. The race was ran on today’s Heavy going so he handles the ground, he has form over 3-miles so stays the trip with today’s extra 4 furlongs looking in his favour, he is entitled to strip fitter for the run, he looks well-handicapped now 8lb lower than when finishing 3rd of 23 to Palmers Hill at Cheltenham in November 2018, and first-time booking Sean O’Keefe takes a very useful 5lb off his back under these stamina sapping conditions. He looks a good each way bet at 10/1 with places insurance for the first 4 with the bookmakers mentioned above.
