Jaadu Can Cause Upset
Ran a smart 22.84s sectional on his return from a 6-month absence and probably more to come.
There’s plenty of racing to bet on this Saturday but value opportunities look thin on the ground, therefore I’m taking a bit of a punt on Jaadu in the 4.15 Lingfield.
Rated 85, he’s got a huge amount to find racing off level weights against horses rated 100+ but he impressed on his return from a 6-month absence.
He was very keen behind a steady pace (105.4% finishing speed) but despite wasting energy was only beaten a short-head. In defeat, he ran a 22.84s closing sectional, a smart performance under the circumstances.
Jaadu clocked an adjusted sectional speed rating of 89 and although he still has something to find with the main protagonists he’s not a hopeless cause at 40/1 (Bet365).
