Bets 24/10/2012

Newmarket 2.30 – Market says Miraaj. I shouldn’t punt on this really, but I’ll go Insurebet 3 places Miraaj 9/4. Hannon newcomers backed in have a decent record. Oddly, maybe, the one I like is Admiralofthesea. Looked like he wasn’t really prepped for first race. The form of that race is quite strong and pedigree suggests may go well on the prevailing conditions, so Admiralofthesea 9/1 w/o Miraaj. Still not sure why I’m even considering this race.

Newmarket 3.05 – Meehan has won this several times before with 7s and 8s and it’s tempting to back Master Ming purely on that, but So Beloved’s 11/10 form put’s him up there with Telescope (nearly).

Newmarket 4.45 – Subtle Knife 9/2 to slice through the field from the back. Feels like another larger e/w bet after Jack Dexter’s form was boosted by Cheveton (glad I went large on that!). Stable going well too. No Poppy is up 4lb plus doesn’t get the previous 5lb apprentice allowance, but he does get Frankie. He has run well here before, but ran less than 2 weeks ago so will stick with Subtle Knife – just hope can cut through the field. Am also hoping Firedaws is not well handicapped and doesn’t go well on soft.

Worcester 2.10 – Only treading cautiously with the jumps at the moment. It will take me a while to get back into this, but I can’t work out why Prince Buster is 16/1. There are a few decent horses in this so I’ll got Prince Buster 11/1 w/o the fav. The form of that Sir Des Champs race is not bad for this level.
