Prime Venture looks decent each-way value at 16/1 in the 3.00 at Sandown today.
Evan Williams’s seven-year-old has a progressive profile and posted some excellent efforts in competitive handicaps last season.
.
After finishing fourth of 16 to Air Force One at Ascot, Prime Venture ran a cracker when a staying on 1 1/4 length second of 16 to Minella Awards over 2m 4f at this venue.
Minella Awards has since gone on to follow-up in good style at the Punchestown Festival and that gives the selection has looked better tahn ever in three starts this season.
After a soldi secodn to Mia’s Storm at Haydock, Prime Venture easily beat Fingeronthesiwtch by eight lengths at Ffos Las when travelling strongly throughout before forging clear on the flat.
He also shaped much beter than the bare result last time out when fourth of 12 to Black Ivory at warwick undr an inexperienced rider who gave him plenty to do and took the scenie route as well as dropping her whip after the last.
That effort suggested a current mark of 142 was not beyond Prime Venture and with Tom O’Brien now taking over in the saddle he looks capabke of running a huge race.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Prime Venture (16/1 Betfred, Stan James – BOG)
