Bets 12/09/2013

Justineo cleaned up for me yesterday. Gutted Elkayeed was a NR and Expert was slightly frustrating, but still another few hundred bagged.

Didn’t realise Segal was in the house today, so missed his early prices! D’oh. However he has gone for:

1.40 Donny – Aqlaam Vision 12/1
2.40 Donny – Art Official 16/1, Stormy Paradise 14/1

I felt a big Goodolphin day coming up until the weather has screwed some of my earlier picks. Bugger.

1.40 Donny – Tough to call this but drawn to Atlantic Affair 14/1

2.10 Donny – This will be a great race. I think Maureen 2/1 is still good enough value as proven on this ground. Nargys has definitely regressed but 15/2 without Maureen might tempt me but I’ll think more carefully about that as I like Maureen’s chances.

2.40 Donny – Azagal 12/1 has the best form in my book and Tobougg Happy 18/1 has a very tempting price at the weights

4.25 Donny – Mayaasem 10/1. Could easily have backed 4 or 5 in this especially those with C&D form, but sticking with the Hills 3yr old.


5.00 Donny – Black Spirit 16/1 returns to a far more realistic level and on a very winnable mark. Just has to bounce back into form.

Just one more week and I’ll have time to focus on this again. I’m worried I’ve missed a lot of critical form pointers and knowledge abosrbtion over the last 2 months, which not helpful, but a quick go again today:

Doncaster 2.30 – Expert 11/4

Doncaster 3.00 – Justineo 3/1. Will be vexed if Excelette wins. Followed for a while to no avail.

Uttoexter 3.50 – First in the Queue 6/1

Doncaster 4.10 – Elkaayed 6/4

Doncaster 4.45 – Regal Dan 8/1, Fils Angel 20/1, Secret Art 12/1

Bets 07/09/2013

Sweet patent brought me home 1k profit the other day so money to play with. Once again though in work so little time to research…and am at 6.00am so guessing on the ground as can’t find any reports yet.

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racing Post has tipped up 7 today which does not happen very often. Clearly I will back them all as always despite my thoughts!

Ascot 1.55 – Field of Dream 16/1 – sure he always punts on him and Pythagorean 9/1
Haydock 2.05 – Jedward 14/1
Kempton 2.55 – Storm King 16/1
Haydock 3.15 – Suraj 20/1
Haydock 3.50 – Garswood 6/1
Leapordstown 5.45 – Caponata 9/1

Ascot 1.55 – Trail Blaze 16/1 decent C&D goes on most ground, Ryan going well, good enough draw, good chance. Is weighted to reverse form with Galician with claimer. Monsieur Chevalier 40/1 stupid price if you are willing to look at previous Ascot from with give in the ground over the years and the Lennox Stakes race which shows his mark is potentially low. Excellent Guest 28/1 nearly tempted me so might get bet later if market says worth a go.

Kempton 2.20 – Prince Bishop 8/1 but don’t rule out a Gdog 123

Haydock 2.40 – Was there to watch Montridge destroy his opposition last time out. 11/8 looks tasty

Kempton 2.55 – Hope we don’t see a surprise in this as Etheedam 5/1 looked really very good over C&D last time. Last years winner Shavansky 16/1 could go well at a price.

Haydock 3.15 – Give up on a few of these such as Blue Bajan and Suraj now. Lost me enough of money and I’ve lost the faith now. There is a lot of hype about Pallasator 4/1. Hasn’t run for nearly a year so hard to tell. Has been backed for the Ceasarwitch this morning to def of interest. Oriental Fox 10/1. Best form in book and Johnston has a good record in this race.

Ascot 3.30 – CafĂ© Society 5/1

Haydock 3.50 – Sadly I didn’t check the weather and I backed Lethal Force with a small wad. I’m going to hope it dries up somewhat but I don’t want to risk losing more on a horse. Clearly Garswood has a huge chance and if you backed 20/1 antepost you’ll be excited. I didn’t.

Leapordstwon 5.15 – Free Eagle 4/7 all day long. Reckon a good double up with Montridge.

Leapordstown 5.45 – Raider Kenhope 4/1 has best form.


Leopardstown 6.50 –I heart Kingsbarns 6/1 – ground might just turn in favour but this is more a sentimental bet.

Bets 05/09/2013

3.35 Haydock – Venue 6/5 can take advantage of 3yr old allowance

3.45 Salisbury – Joyeuse 4/6

7.40 Kempton – Tajheez 5/4

Patent anyone?

Bets 04/09/2013

Last bet of the day saved me yesterday!

Just one tasty one today:

Lingfield 4.50 – Al Jamal lump job 7/4

Bets 03/09/2013

Saturday didn't work out too well! Reminder to me about punting without doing the homework:

Leicester 3.40 – Bogsnog 8/1 steps up against older horses for first time. He ran a blinder behind a horse who had dropped hugely in the weights and the form is not bad for a C4. Clearly the price reflects the fact we don’t know whether he will stay the trip but worth a punt at the price

Leicester 4.15 – Romantic Bliss 6/1 for a trainer in form on a potentially very low mark back in trip and first time blinkers. And a claimer and good draw.

Lingfield 6.50 – Looks between Plenum and Drahem. I’ll go Plenum 2/1 without Drahem. Plenum looked pretty unlucky over C&D last time. Lanigan is hitting good form.

Lingfield 7.20 – Prospera 11/2 has run badly twice here, but that was without blinkers. Different horse with blinkers on. She won her last race on AW by 4 lenghts and the handicapper has not raised her to the equivalaent margin so potential for more and Beckett is in good nick.


Might be a Kirby Double at Mussleburgh worth looking at though on paper not sure.
