Bets 13/09/2012 - St Leger Festival Day 2

A few winners yesterday, but reckon the £120 odd off failed accumulators brought me back down to earth. Won't have time to check till the weekend. The part of me that didn't want to bet in the small field was right; the long shot won. And I reckon Magic City really was bookie deceit. The amount of times I see comments like 'positive market vibes' or 'strong market support' would signal a big run in the RP comments, more often than not they shorten, but flop. I have no factual basis for this though! There are a few G'dog runners that I'm excited about today but won't get a chance to look at cards until later. In the meantime...

Tom 'Pricewise' Segal form the Racingpost has tipped up:

Doncaster 1.50 - Bonnie Brae 14/1

1.05pm update...Feck, didn't realise first race was so early...

Doncaster 1.15 – Tough opener. Should I avoid it. Probably. Will I? No. Annecdote 11/2 as the form looks very good and This is Nice 18/1, first time cheekpieces, consistent runner, ran well here before and interesting as that race had Regal Dan in, who won a C2 yesterday and mark looks ok. Am hoping for a headgear performance lift though!

Doncaster 1.50 – The class horse is Gamilati, but I’ll put her in a G’D double rather than back her. Interesting that Segal has gone against the trend with Bonnie Brae; 3 yr olds have won 9 out of last 10 renewals! Yesterday I didn’t think I’d do this but I’m going to back Sentaril 3/1. We saw yesterday with Born to Surprise how horses bounce back over preferred C&D. Is also top rated 3 year old after Gamilati.

Doncaster 2.20 – A number of these have really frustrated me when winning after I’d lost the faith in them! This is another tough one though. I’m not sure why Parliament Square is available at 7/1 looking at form against Reckless Abandon, so thank you. O’Bee won this last year as well. I was all ready to back The Gold Cheongsam 5/2 last time out and won’t shy away this time.

Doncaster 2.55 – I’ve put Kailani in the double with Gamilati as just don’t know what either will produce. I’ve just gone for Wild Coco 7/4 on the basis of the ground. Ambivalent looks decent but I have a soft spot for Wild Coco

Doncaster 4.05 – Hmm. Roker Park 25/1 and Victoire De Lyphar 25/1 both have C&D form and are below their previous best winning marks. With the fancied Prodigality being a NR might be worth a dab on Soohrab 8/1 as is fairly closely matched.

Doncaster 4.35 – Roll a dice and just about go Black Spirit 3/1
