Monday 10th May - Killarney Jumps

Jumps racing in Killarney today. It's a bit wild where I am, so the Good to Yielding ground might change up a bit and the horses get a blast of wind and rain in their face.

If you've any football friends then they might like watching the bumper. Sir Neymar runs in it, and the guys I know found no end of mirth in his first race when he fell at the first fence, much like Neymar the man and his antics. He's run in one bumper since then, not done too great, and now he's 100/1 in this.

My picks for today...

Killarney
4.35
Edison Kent 15/2 ew 3 places
Some decent places, but behind Part Time Farmer in its last. Looking for place odds here which are pushed out by some decent NHF horses, but you’re looking at it to change the result against Part Time Farmer, and the bumper horses to be a little off in the first run over hurdles. I’d like longer odds but I’m willing to gamble.

5.10
Darasso 15/2 ew 3 places
Not the best results but its history has some form. Looking for the ground and trip to come together and suit it. I think two and a half miles is its best distance, as shown by closer results, and it’s starting to prefer quicker ground. An ew shout looking to show better form and potentially win.

5.40
Boghlone Honey 14/1 ew 3 places
Improved from their run at the start of the season, and did well against Cousin Harry who we know has been showing good form. Some ok results on heavier ground at two and a half miles and might just have enough to sneak into the places at 2m6f.

6.10
Born Patriot 9/2
The distance should be right, the ground might just be that little bit faster than what’s wanted. The other horses all show no ability to win out a race, so it’s a case of Born Patriot showing that little bit more in higher prize races.

6.40
Easy Game 3/1
Just think the ground and distance suit perfectly.
