Shuil Teacht Aniar was well backed last Sunday, but
unfortunately the handbrake wasn’t let off. He was given one of the strangest
rides I have ever seen by young Robinson, and at one stage he was a good 20L
last. He stayed on strongly late on to finish 5th, but he was given far too
much to do and his jockey’s reluctance to push him into the last few fences
cost him dearly.

It has been a quiet week this week, but we are back in
action with a 33/1 each way fancy at Dundalk. Marino Marvel is a huge price in
the 12f handicap at 21.00, but there is reason to believe he can do better back
up in trip off a lower mark than last time. He stayed on well over 10f last
time, and this lightly raced son of Kodiac looks sure to benefit over the extra
distance on Friday.
Wayne Lordan took the ride last time, and he dropped Marino
Marvel in at the back of the field. He switched him wide as they turned for
home, and a couple of furlongs out he was nearer first than last. However,
Marino Marvel responded to Lordan’s urgings in the final furlong and he stayed
on well to finish a never nearer 8th, 6L behind the winner Ligeti and 4L behind
Free State.
He takes Free State on again today, and he is 4lb better off
with him I think he would have got closer to him over further,
and yet back at 12f he is eight times the price of that rival. He is also 4lb
better off with Queloz, who was 2L ahead of him, and all things considered I
think Marino Marvel is overpriced at 33/1. He is worth chancing each way for
small stakes in a winnable looking race.
