Back on track yesterday with a handful of decent winners and ew double on couple of Segals picks which I was keen on came in too.

Today Tom Pricewise Segal has gone for:

4.55 Punchestown – Apache Jack 10/1

5.30 Punchestown – Lyreen Legend 7/1

6.40 Punchestown – Miteball Forluck  25/1, Competitive Edge 12/1

A few more back on the flat and might consider Punchestown too…

Ascot 2.00 – Magical Roundabout 11/8.

Ascot 2.35 – Speedfiend 11/2. takes a step down in class from a G1

Pontefract 2.45 – Roseburg 6/4 has decent enough form

Ascot 3.10 – Once Evita Peron 10/3 got the hang of things she flew. Ordinarily I’d have picked Adhwa as has the experience but hoping Evita Peron is forward and one to follow

Ascot 3.45 – If Tac De Boistron wins this it will be impressive with the weight he has to give away. A solid C&D performance from Harris Tweed 2/1 last time out has to be pick

Pontefract 4.25 – Dullingham 9/4.

Ascot 4.45 – Most of these look well handicapped, but on soft have to go with Russian Realm 6/4

Pontefract 5.00 – Smidgen 6/1 on maiden form here

Punchestown 4.20 – Medival Chapel 10/1

Bets 29/04/2014

Only 1 winner yesterday. Not cool. Nothing unexpected though as the early season unfolds and a few more went into the tracker. Is the Punchestown festival today and Tom Pricewise Segal has gone for 3 today:

4.55 Punchestown – The Game Changer 16/1, Sea Beat 11/1

5.30 Punchestown – Ballynagour 11/1

I picked both TGC and Ballynahgour at Chelts so interesting me….

Back to the flat….

Lingfield 1.55 – Big Orange 11/10

Nottingham 3.15 – Kashmiri Sunset 5/1 bigish ew bet. That form looks very good and hopefully that means this handicap mark will be blown away!

Yarmouth 3.35 – If takes to turf and everything suggests will, Horsted Keynes 5/4

Nottingham 3.45 – Hassle 5/2 takes a step down in class and is hopefully fit enough first time out to continue improvement

Nottingham 4.50 – Gowanharry 5/2 looks to run a good race every other race. Ought to get ideal conditions so good chance

Nottingham 5.25 – Kiss from a Rose 6/1 is interesting back to 5f on slower ground and might be ahead of mark in these conditions.

Bets 28/04/2014

Two 2/5 shots turned over, a few more losers and an AP bet on Treve which I thought was decent blown. I'm not sure why Treve sat so far back from the pacemaker but I'm never confident on any horse Detorri now sits on since he came back from his ban.

I picked these all last night without knowing the prices…

Bath 1.30 – Spectator 9/4

Bath 2.00 – Perfect Muse 9/4

Bath 3.00 – Desert Command 7/4

Windsor 5.35 – Dougal 4/5. Hannons better 2yr old horses are apparently named after Magic Roundabout characters…

Windsor 6.05 – Principle Equation 5/1 – Beckett’s 2yr old filly are flying

Windsor 6.35 – Aldborough 6/1 should put his experience to good use and that Newbury maiden is pretty decent form

Windsor 7.35 – Palus San Marco 7/2

Naas 4.55 – Packing Go Go 5/2

Naas 6.25 – Sea of Blue 22/1 and Timbuktu 6/4

Bets 27/04/2014

An okay day yesterday but importantly lots of good formlines for me to follow. Hit a fair few winners but was gutted Kaka didn't quite make it as had a big double on with Battalion who continues to look very impressive and is making me shed of loads of dollar on the way. Annoyed about the emphasis I placed on draw bias at Ripon as I had Fast Shot down as first pick before drawbias.com said I had no chance!

Segal is feeling more gutted I imagine as a few horses he has backed in the past and have let him down and winning big races at big prices! Today he has gone for:

Kempton 5.15 - Flemish School 3/1
Limerick 2.50 - Kims Dream 10/3

I'll go for a few today, but my 7/1 on Treve to win the Ganay, Prince of Wales and Arc is the one I'm looking forward to the most.

Ayr 2.00 - Galvanise 2/5
Longchamp 2.40 - Treve 2/5
Limerick 2.50 - just to take Segal on for fun, Truckin All Night 9/1
Gowran Park 3.35 - I was spot on with AOB yesterday taking on the favourite with Third Dimension, which makes a change. Will go for a double but this time back AOB - Exotic 7/2
Kempton 3.45 - Angelic Air 11/10
Kempton 4.45 - Relation Alaexander 9/2
Kempton 5.15 - I will take Segal on with Ranjaan 9/4
Kempton 5.45 - I expect the favourite to win but Shifting Star should not be 22/1

Bets 26/04/2014

Segal I hate you, I love you, I hate you, I love you. I’m sure he’d admit he’s not having a great time of things. When you say a horse @ 5/2 could be bet of the season you really better be willing to put your house on that. Useless, absolutely useless. I lost a fair whack on Sacred Act, but made a bit back on Western Hymn, Eccelston and Windshear. Right rant over today. Today Pricewise Segal has tipped:

Haydock 2.20 – Louis The Pious 9/1

Sandown 3.50 – Bury Parade 12/1, Midnight Appeal 25/1

I’ll give most of the flat a go….

1.20 Haydock – Nubar Boy 6/1 – looks to have hit good form and perhaps 1m turf was what has always needed.

1.50 Haydock – Kyllachy Star 11/4 – Pants race but looks the best handicapped and marginally best form

2.20 Haydock – Sir Reginald 6/1 and Louis The Pious 7/1 have been targeted at this race. Either the top 5 drawn will come 1,2,3 or they’ll go too quick and set it up for my picks. Hopefully the latter!

2.55 Haydock – Talmada 4/6 has solid form

3.25 Haydock – Gabrials Kaka 9/2 should brush off 6lb rise. Solid form. Ingelby Angel 12/1 might be one for the bold forecast and maybe Robert the Painter 20/1 for the tricast! Ha

4.35 Haydock – Approach The West 3/1 marginally on form

5.10 Haydock – San Cassiano 16/1 ew chance

1.40 Ripon – Reassert 16/1 will come on for debut and has a decent draw

2.15 Ripon – Capo Rosso 9/2 hopefully had ground quick enough, but Lord Aeryn 13/2 also has a low mark, good form here and the best draw if takes advantage of it.

2.50 Ripon – Looks set up for Doc Hay 8/1 after having first run of season and having won over C&D on a higher mark. The pundits seem to think that Hopes N Dreams 12/1 has the favoured draw but in big fields the stats do not back that up although this horse is quick and is being aimed at Epsom dash so might be hard to catch.

3.30 Ripon – Bayan 5/1  looks a big price. I wrote this last night and be surprised if can get that on day. Jumps horses do well in this race and this horse has very good form

4.05 Ripon – Battalion 9/4 looks ahead of his mark. I like this horse and did me well in couple races last year. Awake My Soul and Chancery are held in high regard by O’Meara but I’ll stick with Battalion.

4.40 Ripon – Signore Piccolo 8/11 short but looks good enough to win

5.15 Ripon – Satelitte 15/8

2.30 Leciester – Vimy Ridge 10/1 – Stable likes this one

3.05 Leicester – Fun Mac 9/2 – Burnt by a short Gosden handicap one yesterday and might today but prefer Barzys ride at the weights

3.40 Leicester – Professor 11/4 takes a big step down in class. Proven can win Listed races

2.25 Limerick – Keen to see if AOBs lot coming into form. If not Third Dimension 6/1 might take advantage

6.30 Doncaster – Perfect Blessings 9/4 will improve

7.05 Doncaster – Balding really likes Born in Bombay 10/3

8.05 Doncaster – Vanity Rules 6/1

Bets 25/04/2014

Useless day yesterday although that long shot is def one I’m backing next time.

1.40 Sandown – “This could be the bet of the year” – Sacred Act 5/2. I agree. Miles ahead of a mark of 90. Couple other ahead too but not as ahead much as this one.

2.10 Sandown – I was all over Telescope last year and I don’t know whether to jump ship to Sky Hunter. Sky Hunter 15/8’s form looks better, stable is in better form and I remember Moore saying Telescope is not a world beater. Therefore, argh, will go with Sky Hunter. Most bookies taking Telescope on too.

2.45 Sandown – Doubts about whether Garswood stays. Segal has gone for Fire Ship. Hmm. Not sure Penitent is good enough or Tulius, though does have C&D form. So it has to be between Top Notch Tonto and Montridge. Ordinarily I’d just say Montridge as am a follower, but the ground, bullish comments from Ellison, OR and form do point to TNT 3/1. It’s hard to ignore that Hannon has won this 7 out of last 10 years though!!!

3.15 Sandown – Western Hymn 4/7 looks decent but is a short price.

3.50 Sandown – Tough, but I found the winner. But, I’m gutted as was 7/1 this morning and is now only 4/1. Eccelston. The Wetherby Super Sprint puts him way ahead of this mark and clearly prefers give in the ground. Draw is ideal and trainer is bang in form. Havent totally ruled out Sacha Park on old form, or Desert Ace who will appreciate a stiff 5f, but will stick with this

4.55 Sandown – Shouldn’t be betting in races like this but I reckon the Newmarket Race Windshear 15/8 last ran in, might be a decent race.

Bets 24/04/2014

I don’t think I’ve ever napped a horse on here, so glad it came in yesterday pretty easily @ 4/1.

4.00 Beverly – two well handicapped horses in this. On paper really should be with Bling King, but Genius Boy 9/4 is ex G’Dog, from New Approach and I’m hoping will improve a lot more. Trainer reckons is ahead of mark. Hmm forecast pays 9/1

4.10 Warwick – I’ve got Nouvelle Ere 33/1 in my tracker but no idea why. Must have read a trainer comment sometime ago.

6.15 Newcastle – That Manchestar formline comes into play again with Trade Secret. It might be worth a Bling King/Trade Secret Double but Fahey has said if Time and Place 7/1 bounces back to form he is well handicapped. Saying that King of Eden has been samshed and that’s no doubt down to Paul Kealy the tipster. He has a point about this one but at 7/2 I can’t back it.
