Been a slow week in terms of selections, mainly because of commitments away from the racing, back today & just the one selection from me that looks worth the bet.
Exeter -
14:05 SONOFVIC - 6 Point Win @ 7/4 = LOST
Paul Nicholls' 8 year old gelding showed promise when returning from a long break to win over this C&D on similar good to soft ground recently & looks as though he can certainly go well here again. Came back last time out after a break of well over 500 days & got off the mark nicely by beating an Emma Lavelle trained odds on favourite by some 12 lengths. Although it was only a 3 runner race he done the job really well & beat a horse who was clearly well thought of. This gelding is still unexposed as a chaser, this is only his 7th run & has spent some lengthy spells off the racecourse. The form he has shown over fences looks good though, back in his novice days (2011) his best piece of form came in a grade 2 chase over this distance where he finished a close second to the then very impressive Grand Crus. The Twiston Davies trained/ridden, According To Trev looks the main danger in here who himself has run with credit over fences this season winning twice over 25 furlongs, but i think he would still have to show improvement on that if SONOFVIC turns up in the right mood. The ground looks no issue, since he has won on ground both good to soft & soft. SONOFVIC is still fully unexposed & came back from nearly 600 days off to win really well last time out & realistically he should be better for that run. It's certainly not out of the question to think he can improve & if he is turning up here in the same form as last time then he can be going close for his top yard, looks worth the bet at a decent looking price.
