Bets 16/08/2013

Gold Hunter was very disappointing yesterday, especially after Paradise Park won easily enough. Nice win that. Annoyingly I feared Seek Again just like I feared Morpheus in the last race but hey ho, one day one day. I still believe.

Nottingham 2.00 – Makhfar 8/11. Gosden/Buick. Middle Park Entry. Decent debut – last one off the bridle and I’m sorry, but Frankie I’m not sure you should have waited that long. Little else to worry about with the non runner. Looks like the big bet for the day.

Newbury 3.55 – Wind Fire has arguably produced the most and tackled the harder races. Autumns Blush and Libourne Lass scare me when I draw lines with Princess Noor, but at 5f I opt of Wind Fire 5/6 (Insurebet 2 places)

Newbury 4.30 – Assembly 2/1 (Insurebet 2 places) Not sure why I feel nervous about this as looks another handful ahead of the handicapper. Secret Missile scares me a tad which is why taken a point off for the insurance

2.05 pm update...Bad bad run by Makhfar. Was beat a long way out. Never settled. Deano has pointed by in the direction of Midnight Rider 6/1 Newmarket 6.00pm. Was flying home with the winner in last race and looked pretty damn unlucky.

5.00pm update...I'm chasing, but if the money for Lady Liz comes at Catterick 6.40 I'm on it. Interesting mark I say but want connections to back that up.
