🌟 Nap of the Day ⭐
📅 15:10 Curragh
🐎 Engines On
🟢 Odds: ~ 7.00
🟢 Stake: ~ 1u EW
Reasoning:
Engines On has shaped like a steadily progressive type since joining John
Kinsella, and his profile suggests there’s still more to come in handicaps. He’s a dual 7f winner on easy ground and crucially landed a Curragh handicap over this course and distance last season, showing both stamina and tenacity. His most recent start here saw him finish third of 15 in a competitive 1m handicap, this was a career-best effort, finishing just half a length behind the winner. That run, with first-time cheekpieces applied, confirmed he is holding his form well and can operate
effectively against stronger company.
This step back into a valuable big-field contest looks logical, with his proven record on yielding ground a further positive. He’ll need things to drop right from his draw, as he’s usually ridden to finish strongly rather than dominate early, but his ability to see out a true-run mile at the Curragh is not in doubt. With his handicap mark still workable and his confidence boosted, Engines On
appeals as a consistent and improving handicapper who can be very competitive in this set-up, particularly if the race turns into a stamina test late on.
Looks the perfect NAP of the day in my opinion. Some bookies are paying 4 places.
