NAAS 4.40 ... Sweet Shock
I thought the form of Sweet Shock behind Oscars Well is decent but his previous run beating 137 rated Dancing Tornado is the one which caught my attention.
Dancing Tornado's 2nd place in the Paddy Power Gold Cup when he had the likes of King George VI chase winner, Long Run (rated 160 ish) behind, ties in with yesterdays 10 length Ascot Chase winner, Riverside Theatre, making it look better than 1st glance.
Although the jock not the best winning strike rate here, he has won on 25% of rides for trainer Michael O'Hare last month, who himself has one of the highest strike rates at Naas in current seasons.
The step up in trip the negative for me, but is twice a winner here from 3 runs.
At the generally available 10/1 on offer, I think he will go off shorter in the betting with the option to trade out before the off and lock in some free profit!

Glad to see you back blogging, thought you'd gone for good.
ReplyDeleteLooks like SWEET SHOCK does not stay a yard further than 20f, and he only just gets that. Ignore his win at Punchestown over 22f as that was a very weak maiden race. A drop in trip should see you recoup. You were right about trading out tho', as he had an SP of 6/1.
Cheers WW,
ReplyDeleteJust out for most the winter as done a full refurb on the house!
And Yes, he didnt appear to stay the distance yesterday, but traded stakes for a free bet worth a 4 Pt potential profit which is always good to have :)
