Red All Star is a horse I tipped up earlier in the year when he ran at Naas back in June over 7f on quick ground. He ended up in 2nd that day off a mark of 67. He has been expensive to follow since, and his last couple of runs have been particularly disappointing. However, I don't think this son of Haatef should be written off just yet.
Pat Martin has been running him on soft ground recently, and he was never going to show up well on that sort of a surface. He has also been running him over 5f and 7f, which is puzzling given that 6f is the trip he won over last year. His only start over that distance this year was at Naas and he was drawn out in the car park in a field of 20, so his poor effort on that occasion is excused.
Martin is based not too far from Laytown, and he enjoys having a winner there (2/4 last season at the meeting).Red All Star's sire Haatef has a 33% strike rate on an artificial surface, so there is every chance he will enjoy the sand at the track. Shane Foley is a positive jockey booking, and he is 3/11 for Martin over the past 5 seasons.
If running Red All Star on the wrong ground and over unsuitable trips was a ploy to get his handicap mark down, it has worked a treat. A reproduction of his run at Naas back in June would suffice here, and at 16/1 he looks worth taking a chance on off a mark of just 57.
