Usually Sunday is the day of the week where you put your feet up, have a lovely Sunday roast and watch Songs Of Praise. Not for us however, oh no. We’re going to get our teeth stuck into a listed race at Fairyhouse and a class 3 handicap hurdle at Stratford, nice. Let’s hope todays horse racing tips can bring home the bacon.
Sea Siren 15:35 Fairyhouse 5/4 Ladbrokes
Before i waffle on about Sea Siren i must make you aware of something. Ladbrokes do not have best odds guaranteed until 9am on the day of the race, so if you think the 5/4 is good value, take it, if not, wait until this evening when more bookies will of priced up the race. Personally, i think you could get 6/4 if you wait, but we’ll see.
Sea Siren, 8th at Royal Ascot, but in the last year he’s landed 3 group 1’s in Australia. When you read into his form it’ll appear to be all over the place, and to be fair, it is. After those win’s he hasn’t won in 7 races (all grade 1 races down under). He’s 5/4 due to the major drop in class from Group 1 to a listed race today, he should really posses too much class for this lost, but how many times have i said that? I wouldn’t go overboard on this guy.
Castlemorris King 15:20 Stratford 6/4 Bet365
Oh how i love in form horses. When looking at the bare form figures you’ll notice a sequence of winning, then finishing 2nd, 212121. Today he’s due to finish 2nd, but i am very much hoping this isnt the case. He’s up 6lbs for his half a length victory at Towcester, which seems a bit harsh. That was over 2m4f so the 4 furlong drop in trip should play to his chances. I was desperately trying to find a reason to select Jolly Rodger but i ultimately couldn’t. That horse went on a roll last year, winning 6 races in a row, but is now locked in a battle with the handicapper who has his measure.
One horse that, should it win, i wouldn’t be overly surprised is Maoi Chin Tire. A few years back he caused a 200-1 shock beating Granduet in a listed race, touted as a potential superstar he’s the Lee Sharp of horses, once beating the best, now plying his trade in class 3-6 races. He did win 2 starts back, so hes still up for it, but just doesn’t put his best foot forward very often.
