JUSTINA – 3.30 NAAS
EACH WAY BET ADVISED AT 5/1 WITH THE FOLLOWING BOOKIES PAYING 4 PLACES
It isn’t getting any easier as the day progresses with the €29,500 on offer for the winner of this meaning it has brought the most competitive field of the day. I have narrowed this 14-runner handicap down to 6 horses that I think have winning chances with my top three selections being Justina (11/2), The King Of Kells (7/1), & In From The Cold (15/2). My clear main selection and bet has been Justina but I have had a small each way interest on the other two with all the bookmakers displayed above paying the first 4 places.
Justina is my top pick because she seems to have plenty going for her having won when fresh over today’s trip on her first start last season, she progressed in all three runs last year, she is well-drawn in stall 10, she is carrying a nice low weight in what are going to be stamina sapping conditions, the Jessica Harrington yard are in form (Last 14 days: 3-15, 20%), and Shane Foley is in the saddle. She looked a very nice prospect last year and there could easily be more to come from her this season so, provided she is fully-primed on her first start back after a 233 day break, I can see her going close.
