Taunton 2.00 3m1f

Whispering Jack 12,5 Betfair SP



could be well handicapped for this race. Finished LTO in a hot Sandown Saturday meeting in a truly run race a decent 5th. This was a testing affair upthehill, because it was really a fast gallop right from the beginning of the race and considering the circumstances of this race the 5th place is for me a strong improved effort. This 6 year old finished before already online with Kasbadali
a good comparison horse, because the hot fav in todays race finished 3 lenghth behind this horse and has a whole lot of weight today and is still considered 4.0 BSP fav.
I think Prince Tom is overrated as the HH1G3 race wasnt as strong and the horses, that finished in front of him couldnt prove in this class and are more consider Class 2-4 level horses.
The Winner of Whispering Jacks race in Sandown Poungach is a horse I consider Class 1 winning level, Cantlow is OR139,Safran De Cotte won a HH2 12k race one race later, so to me the horses that finished LTO in front of Whispering Jack are really very strong sorts. Here are the sectional times of the Sandown meeting Im talking about. Looking at the sectionals you can see that the Winner Poungach(impressive closing sectionals) must be noted for the future to win soon a HH1 race and the other race with decent sorts like Edgardo Sol, Via Galilei, Ubi Ace as comparison maybe a bit wrong as I think it was tactical race against Edgardo Sol trying to slow down the pace, but its still a Class 1 and the sectional times of the 2m6f HH2 race are quite impressive in comparison to the Class 1 race. Another positive is that Mann and Fehily have a 20% + at this course.
I have a worry though, maybe the race LTO was so hard that 17 days break are not enough.

have joined you with Whispering Jack mate - hope we have the luck in running to get it back to its performance - my notes "smashing stayer stayed on strongly from the last couple of ground ludlow 030211 form 062 and a very good stayer 12 dsr
wincanton g/f 2m6f (toole claiming 3)The front pair came clear in the end here, with WHISPERING JACK, successful at Ludlow last week, overcoming a blunder at the last. He looked all over the winner turning in, so actually made quite hard work of it, but can be rated better than the bareform and deserves a crack at something better." he needs 3miles to show his best

playing Ped Dora at mussel burgh 1.20 jumps well out of this ground and again needs further than 2miles - this extra half mile will really suite
1.50 bradburn has a decent ride on Northern Acres up in trip is well on for this have been following this animals progress and its up for this one
take a long hard look at bradburn ride in the 2.20 -Jet Master rides for his mum and think its too big in the place market

Not if Pen Dorada falls like that!
