Scoop6 Selections for Saturday November 19 Part 1
- By A.J. Ryder on November 18, 2011 20:36 GMT
We've got punters all across the land chasing a massive Scoop6 payoff this weekend so we'll be taking a look at the six races that will ultimately decide who the winners might be. Should nobody take the prize we can expect a significantly larger one next week as the total rolls over. There are a number of long distance contests set to unfold here and, with only one twenty-horse field amongst the races, we have a very winnable prize.

In the 1:55 at Haydock, we've got the opening contest which goes 3m4f on going expected to be good to soft. This one has a glut of contenders priced around the 5/1-7/1 margin and you can expect a lot of interesting permutations here in the forecast market. Sun Tzu was a beaten favourite last time when pulled up at Ffos Las. His summer campaign went off the boil then and there and he will likely appreciate the freshening after stringing together a variety of nice victories from March thru July. He enjoys the distance and boasts a really nice turn of foot even though he tends to press the pace and run towards the front. He was hitting at a career-high official rating when he was sent off-track so be sure to give the seven-year-old a second look.
Eyre Square looks increasingly sharp and his ability to recover from mistakes has served him well in the past. The eight-year-old gelded son of Publisher, you can expect him to improve three off the freshening after a pair of well-acquitted victories at Hexham.
According to Pete is probably the biggest name on offer here but he simply hasn't won in a while despite taking a step down in class.
In the 2:30 at Haydock, Knockara Beau gets the top-weight for this one and must carry a hefty 11-12 over the 3m distance. He has won before carrying that much but it was against a much smaller field at Carlisle. He is certainly not out of his depth here and he continues to demonstrate some real quality on occasions when he's taking money. He even tends to do well when priced at higher-odds – having finished top five in his last two despite going off at 33/1 both times. He's 20/1 out here and may be an each-way selection for some.
Robinson Collonges is a rather progressive-looking type and he finished third on his seasonal debut when turning out for the Paul Nicholls yard. He had a few inconsistent runs towards the end of last season and didn't really look himself. His 5/1 price right now shows that punters have confidence but it's important to remember that he tired on the run-in last time out at a 2m4f distance. Questions still remain. Los Nadis took his last one at Musselburgh when sent off at 11/1 and will take a step up against higher quality at a 16/1 price.
Sa Suffit represents better value at 16/1 and doesn't look out of place amongst this crowd.
