Mr Rango – 3.25 Curragh – 1m 2F Handicap – 50/1 Paddy Power,
Betfair Sportsbook, Coral – 5 Places – BOG – 1 Point each way – LVP 20/1
I have put up Mr Rango a few times now, on both services after he was
pulled up in front of the stewards during his maiden runs for being a non-trier.Â
He was clearly a handicapped project and obliged for us in a soft
ground 1m 2F handicap two runs ago where he was well-backed and stayed on well to win decisively.
Mr Rango didn’t follow up when stepped up to 1m 4F but for me he
doesn’t stay that trip, fading in the last furlong when challenging for the lead, and he wasn’t beaten far at all.
My first thought was that he needed to come back to 1m 2F, ideally on
his preferred soft/heavy ground.
Well, today he gets his conditions, but in a massive 26-runner
handicap.
He is in form and is still unexposed at this trip, so at 50/1 he is
well worth an each-way play.
