yowzers

Bingo... we had a winner in Diaweitza on saturday. King's Colour won from the 'wrong side' as well but we didn't back it. The 3rd selection was a non-runner. Hope you had a win trixie on that.... lol

Today there's lots of racing and I'm only going to root out the cream of the crop today (as always)

Epsom Downs
2.35 Northern Spy (16/1, Stan James) seems to like it around Epsom. He won here in July and am happy to recommend him again on good-firm today. He's drawn well and I expect a good run.

Cartmel
5.15 Wotchalike (7/2) looks a good bet in the last at Cartmel. His only challenger in my book is a non-runner, so 7/2 looks a good price.

have a successful Bank Holiday monday.

Saturdays quickie

Mr Plod wasn't backed. Seb did ok with him, but wilted towards the end. May have a race in him later on.

Some nice bets today, but will stick with the 2 I fancy most.


Redcar 520
Daaweitza (16/1, vcbet, bet365) steps up in trip but down in class today. He has been running over 6f, which isn't his trip and now runs at 1m2f today. His best distance is around 1m, but may want this step up.

Windsor 5.10
Hannicean 20/1 (boylesports). I was going to back this at 14/1. Now 20/1 with Boylesports, which is ridiculous. I'll leave off backing yet so you get the price. Very similar to Daaweitza at Redcar, in that he's stepping up in trip today looking for an edge. Steadily getting better today and his price is too large here.

Goodwood 4.55
I also want to back King's Colour @ 14/1. However he's not well drawn but it is worth watching his performance on the other side. If he's doing well there he'll be worth backing over 7f next time.

Football treble:
Dagenham 10/11 - Notts County evs - Charlton 5/4

Enjoy.

Quick one

This is an emergency post

Kempton 4.10

Horse called Mr Plod. 66/1 (Paddypower, 50/1 general). This is a 50/1 shot after all, but its very overpriced and hopefully it can run into a place. New trainer today and has first-time cheek-pieces. Worth a dabble methinks. Obviously its not a mortgage jobbie, but I expect it to start a bit shorter than this.

RP rant part 1172

Still no PC sorted. Shame as I'd have had some good results....

This is from the Racing Post Spotlight on saturday.

"Long-standing maiden on the Flat and six hurdles outings do not suggest things will be much different over jumps; coming down the weights and drops significantly in trip, but easily opposed."

Semi-Detatched was freely available at 40/1 from Stan James in the morning.... and won at 11/1.

Don't EVER let the Racing Post put you off.... In fact you'll get a better price because of it.
