Rizz managed to land one selection on Saturday in the shape of Handstands, who gave another creditable performance for trainer Ben Pauling.
Nothing caught my eye on the jumps card in Ireland on Sunday so I've turned my attention to the only other meeting available within the UK and Ireland which happens to be a flat card at Lingfield.
Cairnzy's Tips
Gogo Yubari 2/1 – Lingfield 1.42
Rizz tipped this horse up recently on the thread, which saw him finish third on the day at this very same venue. I remember chatting to Rizz after the race and we both agreed that the horse was given a poor ride on the day by apprentice jockey Morgan Cole. Morgan as mentioned is still learning her trade, so I'll not slander her ride on my selection too much, but I do feel that with a more experienced jockey on board, the horse would have gone a lot closer and possibly could have won the race.
Rizz already mentioned previously in his write up on this horse that Gogo Yubari is a proven course and distance winner, which came on marks of 55 and 61. My selection currently sits on a mark of 67 but has ran with credit on several occasions of this current mark and despite not being given the greatest of rides last time out, arguably ran his best race to date when finishing only a length and a quarter behind a progressive sort in Master Of My Fate who is now up to a rating of 75 on the back of that recent victory.
After analysing the field, there does not appear to be a progressive runner in the field, with most of these appearing out of sorts with the Harb being the slight exception with a recent win in his last three outings. With that said, Harb finished a length behind my selection last time out and I'm not sure that one will be able to reverse the form. Recon Mission caught my eye at the prices having hit the places on his last two outings. Again, Recon Mission is more on the veteran side of his career at the age of 9 and I don't feel he will get the better of Gogo Yubari.
Trainer Dylan Cunha was in great form when Rizz tipped this horse up, operating at a 40% SR but has hit a bad patch with no wins from his last 15 runners which is a tad concerning. With that said, form comes in patches and hopefully a return to the winners enclosure is only around the corner for the Cunha yard, a stable that I do enjoy following on the flat.
