Hi folks
We are on a well backed selection at Punchestown, just hope the ground suits. One race for Newmarket Day 1 is as below. Maybe more to follow will update either way
3:00 Newmarket
ZOUKY – 3/4Pt EW @ 14/1 Lads 4 places 12/1 4 places generally
OBELIX – 1/2 Pt EW @ 45/1 boost William Hill 5 places 40/1 5 places generally
Zouky is a smooth traveller and with the forecast rain to suit should go well. She finished in front of Dark Thirty on similar ground last season and is much better off and is 3 times the price. Caught the eye on seasonal debut in a Listed AW contest over 1mile again travelling strongly, possibly too well. The drop back in trip looks ideal and she can go well. I tipped Obelix LTO here over 1mile if you recall where he was far too keen on his seasonal return. What I said that day about his course form and the trainer’s here still applies and, although very, very speculative and may blow out, he could go well and worth chancing at huge odds.
