Cooper looks a good bet for glory today in Naas


It's a second day of racing action inside the space of six days at Naas racecourse and there are seven races down for decision this afternoon as the action gets underway at 12.50pm.
The highlight of the afternoon is the Text Your Bet to Paddy Power on 51465 Fishery Lane Hurdle in which grade one winner Petit Parisienne looks a cert for victory. The Willie Mullins trained filly currently has a market price of 8-13 and, with only three more competitors in the race, BJ Cooper should be able to make a charge for the front at some stage during the 2 mile race and stay the distance once ahead.
Gwencily Berbas should be his main rival with AP Heskin on board the Barry Connell owned four-year-old, and Connell will fancy his chances having enjoyed a successful afternoon at Naas last Sunday.
Petit Parisienne's Gigginstown Stud owners also have a number of other horses involved this afternoon, with two including in one of the more interesting races of the day, the 2.35 Download Paddy Power's Super-Fast Messenger APP Beginner's Chase.
Cooper links up with the Gigginstown Stud once again in this one, and will ride out on Sub Lieutenant who is the strong favourite in the 2 mile 3 furlong race.
Cooper was a winner in this race last year on board Real Steel and he will be confident of going past the post first this time around. The biggest danger to Sub Lieutenant could come from the JP Mc Manus quartet which includes Killer Miller, who is backed in as the second favourite.
