Pricewise Tom Segal from the RacingPost is on a 24 race losing streak and he has picked out 4 more today. Let’s hope he has some reversal in this and more importantly let’s hope I do. I’m getting butted at the moment and I’ve already lost 3 Antepot bets before the racing even starts today.

Newmarket 2.00 – A tough race. I’m veering towards Circumvent. Drop in trip, grade and fact has won on ground like this, puts him up there alone. Christophe gets the mount today and will go close (I hope). Need a boost like this to my form. Memory Cloth looks the danger to this.

Newmarket 2.30 – Segal has tipped up Sadeek’s Song. Al Zarooni’s record here is 28%!!! He pulverised Colombian who pulverised Poet on heavy ground last week. It’s an interesting bet, but we have Meandre and Dunaden here today. The former is the class horse in the race and Fabre has won this race twice before. The French could have a very very good day today!

Newmarket 3.10 – I’ve already got Born to Sea and Top Offer on Antepost, but I’m not convinced about either of these two anymore. Camelot has been shortest with Ladbrokes for a while now and we will find out how much they really know about Ballydole horses today. I might be tempted to forecast my selection with Camelot because he could easily hack up. There’s no real obvious class in this race and there are memories of St. Nicholas Abbey resemblances and worries about his breeding. The other O’Brien horse will be my first pick; Power. Dragon Pulse is a serious form line in the race and Power was unlucky not to win the Dewhurst. Could be an APOB 1-2. I’m ditching the Casper Netscher form now, after much deliberation. The other two who are interesting are Abtaal and Trumpet Major. Unfortunately I have much on across so many horses, unless a forecast comes in could be on the losing end even if I have a winner. If Power wins I’ll be all good as well as in and AntePost double with Merigo!

Tom Segal has picked Hermival.

Newmarket 3.45 – Tom Segal has tipped Night Carnation. I would have as well reading the form. The other is Mayson.

Newmarket 4.55 - This surely is between Mariners Cross and Noble Mission. Just depends who stays better. Mariners Cross and

Newmarket 5.30 - Rewarded has been heavily backed in this

Goodwood 2.15 – Vita Nova looks a class apart in this.

Saint-Cloud 4.50 - I've backed Kesampour for the Derby between 50/1 and 75/1 (albeit only about £7 on betfair) and am a huge fan. Can hopefully enhance claims today.

Churchill Downs 9.44 – Brilliant Speed can go close if reproduces from behind SNA.

Churchill Downs 11.24 - Not sure I can pick something out here. Segal has picked Went The Day Well. Gemologist is on the up and has raced on a mucky track before so might be interesting?
