Richard Fahey can keep a good run going with Take It To The Max
"Making his debut for Richard Fahey, Take It To The Max won on his reappearance at Hamilton off 72."
Terry Norman has two selections on this 'wild bank holiday' and it's a Richard Fahey horse that catches his eye
Start with a well handicapped horse, add a trainer in form, a champion jockey to ride and you have the perfect ingredients for a bet on a wild bank holiday Monday.
Take It to The Max (16:05, Carlisle) was a high-class two-year-old with George Moore. He reached a peak of 92 during his juvenile days. But, inevitably, the son of Bahamian Bounty suffered, as many do, during his second season.
As a result the colt plummeted down the weights, and, making his debut for Richard Fahey, Take It To The Max won on his reappearance at Hamilton off 72. The handicapper has raised the selection just 5lbs for the victory (he idled in front) and it may not be enough to stop him.
Tax Free is an interesting adversary. David Barron's runner scored on his second start, a seven furlong maiden at Wolverhampton. A mark of 80 looked harsh for Tax Free until you note that four winners have come from the race. Barron has left him off since and he is a live threat to the selection, as is the lightly-raced Oh So Saucy, despite having to concede 3lbs.
Take It To Max has a difficult draw in 12 to overcome and there is a possibility he could bounce returning after just 17 days but if Fahey has managed to revive his two-year-old form he could easily rake up a sequence.
Dropping into a seller for a wager is not an avenue I tend to pursue very often but I will if I feel that a horse's price is wrong. Such a situation crops up with Bernisdale (15:15 Leicester).
Unless I'm missing something, my opinion is that George Moore's filly should be nearer [1.5] than the current [1.9] on offer.
Looking for positives in your selection is often boosted by negatives in the opponents.
Lean Machine, second favourite in this 10f claimer, is zero from seven on turf and has run some stinkers on fast ground.
Chippy and Messenger Mick are unraced while John The Glass has only beaten two opponents in four starts.
Postives? Bernisdale turned over odds-on favourite Song To the Moon (winner since) over this trip at Ripon and is perfectly at home on this fast ground. The price is too big.
