Alan Kelly's Tips - Monday, 21 September
We head to the meeting at Hamilton Park for Monday's horse racing selections.
The ground at the Scottish racecourse is described as soft, good to soft in places, with the prospect of showers during the day.
3:22pm Hamilton - Stormy Impact (Nap)
After finishing 10th in Ayr’s Bronze Cup of Friday, Jim Goldie’s 10-year-old veteran Jordan Electrics makes a quick reappearance in this £25k sprint handicap. Far from disgraced when beaten a little over seven lengths just 3 days ago, a big run from Paul Mulrennan’s mount would come as no surprise.
Off a career-high mark of 92, Mick Appleby’s top weight Arklow Lad has struggled on his last two starts and may need a little help from the handicapper before adding to his four successes to date. Rated 10lb higher on the all-weather compared to a turf mark of 87, Julie Camacho’s Germanic is certainly capable of a big run, although Rowan Scott’s mount failed to beat a single rival on his most recent start here last month.
One horse who is very well treated on her best form is the Richard & Peter Fahey filly STORMY IMPACT (Nap), the daughter of Study Of Man’s three wins to date all coming off marks in the 90’s. While far from disgraced on her last three starts, the four-year-old’s best effort this season came when finishing 4th of 20 (behind Arklow Lad) in the Betfred ‘Dash’ at Epsom on Derby Day.
Now 11lb better off at the weights with that winner, the mount of talented 3lb claimer Warren Fentiman has produced many of her best performances under soft conditions and is fancied to take this Class 3 contest off today’s mark of 86.
Recommendation: Stormy Impact (Nap) - 4/1 with bet365
This is Alan's Nap of the Day selection - see how it stacks up against Charlie McCann's pick too.
3:55pm Hamilton - Tanjen
A field of 7 for this 5f sprint handicap headed by the Michael Dods-trained Military Girl, the daughter of Soldier’s Call successful in a similar race at Catterick 13 days ago. The fillies’ improvement in form on that occasion was put down to the decent ground by connections, unlike the soft going Connor Beasley’s mount is likely to face this afternoon.
Adrian Nicholls’ Thornaby Pearl has been in excellent form of late, including a victory over today’s course and distance back in July off a mark of 62. Now rated 74, the eight-year-old may be in the grip of the handicap at the moment, despite the 5lb claim of rider Jake Dickson.
Julie Camacho’s Veydari is best watched on his first start for three months and following wind surgery, while Ashen, one of two runners for Jim Goldie, will be attempting today’s minimum trip for the first time in 19 starts. In receipt of weight from her 6 rivals, I like the chances of the Tim Easterby-trained filly TANJEN.
The daughter of Kodi Bear is 2 from 4 on an artificial surface, her one success from 16 outings on turf coming over today’s course and distance last month when making all to win unchallenged in an apprentice handicap.
David Allen’s mount has performed with credit on three subsequent starts, two of which came in Class 4 races. Tongue-tied for the first time, I think this in-form filly is the one to beat.
Recommendation: Tanjen - 15/8 with bet365
