High Street Lady – 1.45 Dundalk – 1m 4F Handicap – 50/1 Paddy Power – 1 point each way.
I put up High Street Lady last time out, but her chance was lost at the start when she was sandwiched and squeezed out, losing an iron and 20 lengths. She wasn’t given a hard time after that but still ran on to only be beaten 10 lengths.
She returns to her favourite Dundalk over 1m 4F, with 5lb claimer Dylan Browne McMonagle on board who has an excellent 47 wins and 13% strike rate.
I am giving her another chance today and we can back her at 50/1 with Paddy Power who offer 4 places.
I recommend 1 point each way.
See my previous write up below:
High Street Lady – 5.30 Dundalk – 1m2.5F Handicap – 33/1 BET365 – 1 point each way.
Previously with A J Martin, the 6 year old High Street Lady won a maiden over todays course and distance, postmarking 75 in the process.
She started life in handicaps off a mark of 84 over trips between 1m 1F to 1m 4F and was a bit in and out running his best race as a four year when the cheekpieces were first applied, finishing a close second off a mark of 70.
She was injured in August 2019 and after a change of ownership and trainer returned to the track in November 2020. She has run four times and has clearly been slowly nursed back to fitness over inadequate trips of a mile, then more recently over a totally unsuitable 7F.
On her latest run she showed a first bit of promise, making some minor headway, but not having the pace to get involved.
With fitness and wellbeing in place Connections have stepped her back up to her winning course and distance.
An experienced 7lb claiming jockey takes the ride and running off a mark of 58 she now looks very well handicapped.
The cheekpieces are also back on and from a fair draw in stall 7 High Street Lady has everything in her favour to make a return to form, I therefore recommend 1 point each way at 33/1 with BET365.
