Bets 10/01/2013

"I'm testing out something here so not expecting to land either of these and have gone off strategy." - Ha! So, all this time I've been burning dollar when could be smashing them in. It is worth calling out here that had I not bet with a bookie who does Best Price Guarantee I would have been looking at 10/1 and 11/1 and not 14/1 and 25/1 accumulated. Thankfully I did the right thing. 

Nothing today fits the same bill as yesterday so back to normal hey?

Catterick 2.15 – This is not an easy one, but I’m drawn to Night In Milan 10/1 for some reason. I’m not sure which formline is the best but the Reveley factor here and current form just swings it for me.

Catterick 2.45 – Sea Lord 6/4. With the start of Meydan it’s great to see a decent flat horse taking on jumps. Ferguson is banging them in a the moment and the market is smashing into this one. It’s a huge field and a short price so not one to lay into.

Wolves 3.35 – Botti does well here, firing them in and Canary Wharf 5/1 returns back to C&D where ran very well

Wolves 4.35 – Another Botti runner who had solid record with debutants. Poet’s Prospect has decent enough pedigree too.

Might have a gander over Meydan during lunch break if get a chance!

3.00pm update...Only a quick scan of Dubai…

Meydan 3.05 – Akeed Wafi never got a chance to fulfil potential in UK and Raihe knocks in the winners here, but the one I like is proven on Tapeta and has beaten by a couple of decent horses in Kyrpton Factor and Barbeque Eddie on the same mark. Has a decent draw and Soumillion on-board; Ariete Arrollador 7/1. Montmorency 20/1 is also worth a punt. Goes well fresh and has a decent record on Tapeta on a good day.

Meydan 3.40 – I blindly backed most Aussie horse last year and did pretty well out of it. Draw looks hard but otherwise Benjis Empire 8/1 is the blind punt. The sensible punt is Addictive Dream 6/1 who won twice here last year and hosed up in this race last year. Hope handles the rise in weights.

Meydan 4.15 – Another Aussie Horse Mushreq 10/1. Won races at Listed level, so decent chance here.

Meydan 6.00 – Two outside picks for last race of day. Le Drakkar 33/1 and Jaasoos 25/1. Both have decent C&D form and on lower marks than last year.
