Solid day yesterday, but could have been far better if either 18/1 or 12/1 came 1^st and not second. Either way I trusted this guy who called me and Ashaad did exactly what connections said and won with considerable ease. Al Ka was impressive, Nargys disappointing again and we now have to write of Maxios formlines and bolster the Dalkala form. I had a suspicion about Emirates Queen. Just look at the success of the Middleton Stakes line up. Ambivalent won G1, Ladys First 2^nd in G2, Cubinata 3^rd (by 0.5lenghts) G3, so Emirates Queen winning a G2 against a fairly average 100 rated lot at 20/1 was not a massive upset like the news reads! I’m sure when I looked at the price was 8/1 in the morning which is why was not overly bothered.

Ayr 3.00 – Now My Sun 3/1 has been running in better contested races, won his last race with more ease than paper suggests, and San Cassiano who finished 4^th behind him last time won next race by 4.5 lengths so decent chance.

Maisons-Laffitte 2.40 – Small field so ought not to be any traffic problems for Intello 4/11 who is short, yes, but surely worthy.

Limerick 4.35 – Pricewise has gone for For A Finish 9/2. Can’t comment – not heard of 14/16 horses in the field!

Bets 06/07/2013

Day ended off with a nice 20/1 win yesterday and may there be more to come. Limited time again today, but will see what can whack out. Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has 4 picks today:

Sandown 2.40 – Trader Jack 20/1

Haydock 2.55 – Wannabe Loved 12/1

Haydock 3.30 - Sir Graham Wade 16/1, Star Lahib 16/1

No time for write ups for me I’m afraid….

Haydock 1.45 – Tumblewind 6/1

Sandown 2.05 –Hoyam 11/1

Haydock 2.20 – Masamah 11/4

Sandown 2.40 – Windhoek 9/2

Haydock 2.55 – Moment In Time 7/2, Gallipot 10/1

Sandown 3.15 – Nargys 2/1

Haydock 3.30 – Quixote 18/1

Bev 3.40 – Flash City 12/1, Lenny Bee 12/1

Sandown 3.50 – Pastorious 12/1, Al Kazeem 9/4

Sandown 4.25 – Caucus 9/4

Haydock 4.40 – Tartiflette 6/1, Galician 9/1 (Ashaad 5/1 is the tip from the random guy - he called to say he'll be dropped in to negate the draw and then will bowl passed the field as long as clear run)

Sandown 5.00 – Seamless 7/1, Endorsing 7/1

11.20am update - just seen Ladbrokes are clear short on Dec of War so don't be surprised to see it win!
12.30pm update - Tepmokea 3rd in this last year and lower in weights has seen a lot of money in for it last 2 days!

Bets 05/07/2013

Al Khan beat by a nose and La Fortunata by a head was very painful to see. I had Al Khan, Great Hall and Mont Ras in a 300/1 Treble! Argh. Also, Pearl Street, what happened. This tipster has some explaining to do. 12/1 into 3/1 then came last. Something smells….

Sandown 2.20 – Cracking a race like this is tough, but if you do you are a freaking hero. Joe Packet 11/2 is the obvious one back to 5f. Absolutely bolted up over C&D. Oddly it’s the only time ridden over 5f in whole career. But I want a big price and the two others I’m on are Edge Closer 20/1 and Kyleakin Lass 33/1. Both have solid C&D form and decent jocks onboard. The former will be sharper after first run back and the latter is in good form.

Sandown 3.25 – Argh I’ve been sucked into an unexposed 3yr race by Calrissian 9/1. Naughty. Decent debut, decent 5lb claim hopefully decent improvement.

Doncaster 3.35 – I think the market has got the top 3 right, but what they are not expecting is something to pop out of the blue and bounce back to form. At 25/1, in first time headgear, 2^nd run of the season, back to a track has done well on before Hadaj has to be worth a speculative punt.

Sandown 4.00 – Van Deer Neer looks the best at the weights with the allowance but Mandour 2/1 looks very strong. If you want to back a long shot then Dick Dough’lie can be backed at 18/1 to be placed on Betfair.

Haydock 7.15 – Handicap debutants are tough but the form of Woodland Girl 16/1 and Limegrove 20/1 both in first time props really appeals and the marks they have been given. I drew the formlines and had 10lb difference handicapper made it 15lb but Limegrove has 5lb claimer so was a dead heat for me!

Why hit a Lucky 31 on low grade racing, only my perhaps apparent oncoming addiction might be able to answer. Daft. Anyhow been putting away decent bets on golf and baseball over the lst couple of days (purely on tips) so all is good. However, back to the serious stuff.

Yarmouth 3.10 – I know it’s a class 5 but I have Greyfriar’ta 16/1 on my tracker and is technically 8lb better off with First Class when only 1.75 lengths behind 2 races ago over C&D

Haydock 3.50 – The favourite looks like still on a winning mark and think ground was issue last time, but Mutafaakir 9/4 looks good enough. The danger and worth a bet without the favourite is Al Khan 8/1 (w/o fav)

Haydock 4.50 – Great Hall 9/2 may be top weight but still looks decent enough to win this on form

Haydock 5.50 – I googled banjaydesai Mont Ras and not surprised to find “I like the Mont Ras form”, “I no longer like the Mont Ras form”, “I don’t like the Mont Ras form”. Today I like it 5/2

Newbury 6.50 – Take a random pick, or a slightly informed one; Hannon won this 3 times in last 4 years. Admiral Spirit for Hannon won this on debut 3 yrs ago and today from same family is Djinni 14/1 – this might mean absolutely nothing.

Epsom 7.10 – I like La Fortunata 5/2. Decent form in the book and goes well at Epsom

Epsom 7.45 – My Kingdom 4/1 on a winnable mark, in good form and goes well at Epsom

Epsom 8.20 – I’ve been given a tip – Pearl Street 8/1. It’s been back into 3/1 in places. Seems dodge to me but I jumped on at 8/1 so we see what happens!

Bets 03/07/2013

Even though a cheeky win on Galician I feel I'm struggling to find form at the moment. Trying new things, going for the less obvious and perhaps not sticking to the basics? Who knows....

Catterick 4.00 – Two C&D winners on winnable marks – Solar Spirit 8/1 and West Leake Hare 8/1

Fairyhouse 7.00 – Along Came Casey 9/4 is not one I’ve heard of, but you can’t argue with that form even if at different distances.

5.05pm update.. At freaking last. A decent winner @ Catterick. WLH is plenty ahead of the handicapper.

At Catterick gone for a small Lucky 31 with the profits on Storm Trooper, Swenab, Hidden Belief, Filatore and Party Palace. 

Bets 02/07/2013

Hamilton 4.00 - Quick Wit 1/3 ought to win by a few lengths, but you wouldn't write Galician off

Brighton 5.15 - Varian banging them in and Aglaophonos 2/1 looks well enough handicapped on debut to win

Bets 01/07/2013

Pontefract 4.00 - Misplaced Fortune 3/1 - Visor back on, down in weights, down in grade, back on good ground and decent C&D

Can't be arsed to go through average cards so maybe a double bet or just another bet on the place
