5.00 Lingfield

Kakatosi 5/1

I've got to stick with Kakatosi who I put up the last day when successful on his first start for Mike Murphy as he appreciated the step back to 6f to score by a comfortable 0.5L success off a mark of 80 and although 5lb higher for that victory he is still well handicapped on his old form and I fancy him to be very difficult to beat again tomorrow. Formerly with Andrew Balding, Kakatosi was a very decent 3 year old who won 4 races on the spin including in a handicap off a mark of 94 and at his best he was a 104 rated animal. Prior to his last win on stable debut, Kakatosi had been largely out of sorts in the past year which has seen him fall from a mark of 95 at the start of the year to a career low mark of 80 which Murphy was able to exploit. On the 28th of December under tomorrow's pilot Eddie Ahern, Kakatosi chased a strong pace and hit the front with about 1f to go. He battled on game to the line to score by half a length but I always felt he was holding his rival as the front two drew over a length clear of the 3rd. The 2nd that day Clear Praise reopposses tomorrow and is 2lb better off at the weights but I certainly don't think that will be enough to reverse the placings. When taking into account his old form, he still looks on a very workable mark of 85 and now he has his confidence back with his first win in over 2 years I certainly think he looks primed to run a massive race in an attempt to make it 2-2 for his new yard. Eddie Ahern takes the ride again and although he has been done no favours by the draw in stall 10 I still think he'll be able to overcome the wide berth to sit just in behind what I feel is likely to be a strong pace. If all goes to plan, I'm confident of a massive showing from Kakatosi and off a mark of 85 I definitely think he can land his 2nd successive race.

One or two at Dundalk tomorrow. In the second last the favourite may be hard to pass, but Fleeting Moment is a good each way bet at 10/1. Hard to win with but has been running well of late and looks very well handicapped.


One other is Sintanni in the third last. Not one for much faith but his run behind Shake the Bucket is good form and this race is so poor he might just make the frame at least, 15/2

Dundee 7-1 for alan king in last at huntingdon.

Lots of activity on VC with Jan Smuts 2.40 Sedgie priced up 25/1 price had been in and out many times now quoted 11/1 though 16/1 is generally available . Jan Smuts won at Muss on soft over 16f on flat and would appear to have the best flat form of these on soft carrys 9-7 after apprentice allowance and Wilf Storey knows how to land one. Minimum 8 runners for 3 places so could be worth an ew investment .

Jan Smuts 3rd 18/1 heavy ground wouldn't have suited as much as soft

Legacy Gold is interesting in the last at Sedgefield. I know it's short at 5/2 for first time out but the yard have a great record in bumpers and it doesnt look a particularly strong race.

Legacy Gold was a late non runner at Limerick on 27/12/2012 . I wonder was it because the ground was so bad . The ground has changed to heavy at Sedgie .Jason Maguire reported as saying '' the ground as bad as I know it here''. The connections are definitely ones to be on the right side of but I'd exercise discretion with the ground. Best of luck

On the drift now, the ground has looked very testing in the last few races alright.

Lots of money for Western Trigger.

Well done hope I didn't put you off

That was a nice performance in the ground by Legacy Gold! and 7/2 SP is very nice.
