Two extra place special selections on Friday

Feature This down to a winnable mark

Fleetfootsoldier still unexposed on the All-Weather
Slim pickings today with meetings cancelled left, right and centre, and while Newmarket stages an excellent card and one up with the lark for the early start, the heavy ground puts me off.
Therefore it's Dundalk tonight and we do have some extra place options for an each-way punt this evening, and the 19:30 has my old friend Skontonovski in the field, and while I feel disloyal in swerving him, we've got a similar price on Feature This at 8/19.00 for an each-way punt with the four places.
Since winning over C&D in April from 60, she has been disappointing, but in turn, her mark has come down a little.
She goes well over the 1m here and was very consistent in the early part of the year at Dundalk, and her win over C&D in January indicated perhaps a progressive filly and one that will stay a little further.
The selection is on a good mark and she is proven in 0-65 grade.
Another of the extra places to play with four on the Sportsbook for the 20:00, and the 9/110.00 on Fleetfootsoldier is another in a wide-open race.
The draw in 14 could be problematic, but at Dundalk, it's a track where I do like runners that come to the stands' side. It's the early position from out wide that can be tricky.
The selection is one of the younger ones here as a 3yo and he looks as though he's worth a shot at 1m2f as he does run on strongly in his races.
That was the case at Bellewstown last time over 1m where he came from a hopeless position when outpaced, but he did win at Bellewstown earlier in the year.
He's 1-7 on the All-Weather, but can still be considered slightly unexposed against a bit of a motely crew for this.
