Bets 29/02/2012

“Don’t have time to research” and “no willpower to research” = Jog on, don’t punt. Did I heed? Nope? Both days, I wrote this prior to betting, I returned donuts. I had a sneaky peek at what was being back last night and compared it to what I think today, but the real punting research will come tonight when we aim to dissect some of the juicy Cheltenham races. Darlan has been backed solidly over the last few days and Henderson has been praising the horse's well-being, but will focus on that tonight and publish the syndicate bets.

Folkestone 2.10 – Five Rivers. Warren has a great record at the track and won this race last year. Goodish form behind Prospect Wells, but the racing post is telling me not to back it as he’s had enough chances?

Folkestone 4.15 – There’s a old boy in this race in Miko De Beauchene who is very decent on his day and on a ridiculously low mark. I’d find it too hard to pick between Chapolimoss and Wide Receiver, so may have to leave this. Upham Atom was 20/1 last night and now as low as 6/1 on a decent mark.

Folkestone 4.45 – Start Royal vs Session Or Recession? Can’t pick between the two.

Think I’m going to sack Folkestone off. I may regret it, but meh….

Kempton 5.35 – This is competitive, but I’m hoping Sakhee’s Pearl and Megalala will battle it out at the front and Dunhoy will come from the back and take them in the final few yards, though not yet proven over this trip. Money for it last night.

Southwell 2.00 – Hoping Milgen Bay’s is the better horse than Ring Bo Ree, but also looking interesting is Seigneur Des Bois. Winner over 2f here on good ground and technically 3lb lower with jockey allowance. Money for it last night.

Southwell 3.05 - Lump Job Kudu Country?

Bangor 4.25 – This is fairly wide open, but I’m interested in a handicap debutant in Dawn Commander. Despite this being a big field the favs have won this for the last few years. He was 11/2 last night but into 3/1 this morning.

In other news, Paddy Power are now a bit worried about their SS Money Back Offer...
