IT’S A TOUCH OF SATURDAY ‘SECONDITUS’ FOR TEAM MAC!
Saturday 12th December 2015 – HOVE Report
AVIT ON BERYL didn’t get the best of runs when finishing well behind Lets Go Droopy and Hitachi Tara in two recent A9 grade outings! But the May 12 daughter of Farley Turbo held every chance when finishing 4th beaten just over four lengths by Leamaneigh Cash on the 2nd December and she went very close to winning the A9 at 7-46 last night! After making a slow start and being in rear throughout she ran on well off the last bend and clocked 31.30 (-30) 31.00 calculated when finishing 2nd beaten just a ‘head’ to the Claude Gardiner trained winner Ballybeg Brae.
AVIT ON ELSIE was held up in her run when finishing 6th to kennel mate Hotipp on the 4th December! She ran better for the drop in grade when a close 3rd to Leamaneigh Cash in A8 grade on Wednesday but the July 12 daughter of Eden Brett was never better than mid-division until fading to finish 6th in the A8 at 8-02. ‘Elsie’ clocked 31.23 (-30) 30.93 calculated when beaten four lengths by the Jason Heath trained winner Swift Andora.
COOLOGUE GEM appreciated the step up to 695 metres for an S2 at Hove on the 21st November where she beat Clairkeith Tilda by a short-head. The November 11 daughter of Seventh Jet was a 9/1 chance for the 640 metre DORSET STAYERS TROPHY at Poole on the 1st December and although she finished in 5th place she was only beaten beaten four lengths by the locally trained Ballymac Rosalie. Back over 515 metres for the A5 at 8-18 she was sent off a fancied 9/4 chance! Always well placed she stayed on well clocking 30.68 (-30) 30.38 calculated when finishing 2nd beaten a short-head by the Claude Gardiner trained winner Evanta Candyman.
BIG BANG finished 4th beaten five lengths by Drive To Dubin in A3 grade on the 24th October. The December 12 son of College Causeway picked up an injury in that race and was rested. He returned to clock 30.63 in a three dog Trial over 515 metres last Monday and made a bold show in the A3 at 10-30. Big Bang was always well placed and held every chance when clocking a very decent 30.53 (-30) 30.23 calculated when 2nd beaten a ‘neck’ by the Seamus Cahill trained winner Cree Rumble.
