Bets 10/05/2012

Genius. In my weekly update I wrote "Just need a cheeky little outsider in the Chester Cup tomorrow get me going again", and just like that up pops my 12/1 pick Ile De Re. My love of jump horses going flat racing over testing distances just went up another notch. Will add that one to Rite of Passage. The reason this was arousing was I picked Overturn and Tom Segal picked Gulf of Naples and Eternal Heart. i.e. I backed 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place. BOOM.


Tom Segal Pricewise picks for Chester today are:


Chester 1.35 - Absinthe
Chester 2.05 - Marcret

Will remind you he has not won a bet for Pricewise for 35 races, even if he has brought in a few tasty each-ways. Will post my thoughts for day before lunch...


10.10am Update...

Chester 1.35 – I’m not going to take on Segal’s choice in this. Absinthe - Jumps horse, decent trainer, horrid drink, handles the ground, goodish mark. 11/2 is a good price.

Chester 2.05 – A tough little race, so again I’ll stick with Marcret, Segal’s choice. I might have a saver on Questioning though as to me is the class in the field.

Chester 2.35 – Another O’Brien decision. Happened again yesterday when I backed Betterbetterbetter and came second. I’m not going to back David Livingston today and inevitably he will win. Instead I’m going to chance with Mickdaam. Drop in class and proven on soft.

Chester 3.05 – I imagine Gabrial will be hot favourite. I can’t seem to back a favourite at the moment. I liked the look of Glen Moss and his form. Hills has aimed him here and his old man used to hack up at this meeting.
