Bets 22/07/2012

Antepost bet Danedream really saw me through yesterday. I think I placed 7 times which is frustrating, but nevertheless, better than losing. Carlton House and Awaywiththegreys really bodged me up me, but heyho. I've got a horrendous emotional attachment to CH. I thought today would be quiet, until Fats emailed me his thoughts for day. I've never had a good Sunday, so I hope that changes, else I'm buggered....

Curragh 1.40 – Always dangerous to back against unraced fillies but I think Dibayani 4/6 has come from a sizzling maiden when just held by The United States. That race is working out very very well. And USA is already 25/1 for the Derby.

Curragh 2.10 – Caponata 11/10. Have a suspicion Up would go better stepped up but also wasn’t really that impressive in last race watching it. Izzi Top cruised home. Struggling to see any other decent form even if my Irish form line knowledge is pretty village.

Curragh 2.45 – Cristoforo Colombo 1/2 is rated 20lb better than anything here so even an 80% performance would win this.

Curragh 3.20 – Princess Highway had a set back last week and trainer thinks will be tough on ground. Not too bothered about Was on basis of ground. Was withdrawn when to heavy last time out. Therefore this boils down to Great Heavens 15/8 who has won me around £500 this year. However I always get burnt in Ireland so I’ve seen ok place prices instead.

Ascot 2.15 – Feeling Elusive Quality’s pedigree here. Half bets on Sea Shanty 7/1 and Izzy Boy 14/1. Should not even be considering this. Reckless.

Ascot 2.50 – Morrison won a couple here yesterday and so a C&D winner creeping down in weight and grade Cill Rialaig 4/1, but I think I prefer Tropical Beat 13/2 who has been crying for a step up in trip

Ascot 3.25 - The form line I’m looking to follow here is Es Que Love. Head gear made a big difference yesterday with a few horses so a cheeky punt on Sans Loi 16/1 and also Yeeoow 6/1 who runs well fresh and looked progressive.

Ascot 4.00 – Ahzeemah (5/1). Could have had a big price earlier this morning. Gets a 3 yr allowance and with SBS in form he is pulls out best effort will hack up. Didn’t like York (forgiven just like you would at Newmarket or Epsom) and didn’t like heavy, so looks a good bet.

Ascot 4.35 – Dalkova 6/4. Solid form behind Riot of Colour.

Ascot 5.05 – Dungannon 5/1 form lines keep getting franked. Magical Macey 20/1 as the outside punt and Secret Witness 12/1 to run well over back over 5f with James Doyle in saddle.

M-L 1.30 – Tom Segal has tipped up Pennys Picnic. Interesting I guess

M-L 2.40 – Fractional 13/8

Total Staked £525.69, Total Returned £521.98 (No idea how I didn't make a profit today. Ridic)
