Bets 27/12/2013

A lovely Segal 25/1 double yesterday! Was actually 42/1 if you managed to get his prices, but I did not! Argh! More decent racing and more Tom Pricewise Segal bets:

1.20 Leopardstown - Hidden Cyclone 12/1

2.55 Leopardstown - Sraid Padraig 14/1, Daring Article 12/1

3.05 Kempton - Valoroso 8/1

Bog runner focus today:

1.00 Kempton - Vicenzo Mio Evs has won decent French races on very soft ground

1.30 Kempton - All the favs got turned over yesterday but Grandeout has 6lb weight in hand from Valdez and Dodging Bullets. Grandeout was the best hurdler and I think should have beaten a very useful Hinterland last time out and we know he handles ground.

2.00 Kempton - Utopie Des Bordes 4/1 brings best form to the race and although Mrs Peachy finished 9 lenghts in front of UDB 3 races ago most of Hendo horse have needed their first run and all best form is on soft/heavy

3.05 Kempton - Can kind of see why Segal has gone for Valoroso but at 14/1 On Trend is surely better value coming down so far in the handicpa. A couple races last year where he hacked up at Sandown on heavy and was very close to winning a similar handicap over C&D too off the same mark.

3.40 Kempton - Can't work out whether Three Kingdoms is well handicapped or not. I think he might be so 7/2 is worth chancing as looks better on flatter tracks. The other I like in this is Fergall 8/1. Looks ahead of handicapper.

Not touching Ireland...
