Hi all,
Back with a profit courtesy of Caltex on landed a bit of a gamble at Leicester. Granted a 10p rule 4 to the advised price but still a healthy return.
Storm Dennis is about to hit our shores. Today’s racing should be fine although there must be a big doubt about the Sandown card taking place given parts of the track were waterlogged yesterday afternoon. With that in mind I’m going back to the all-weather for today’s three selections.
Lingfield
4:40 – King Athelstan – 10/3 @ Bet365 – Won over C&D two starts back and almost made it back to back win when beaten a nose into second 13-days ago. The 5-year-old didn’t get the clearest of runs at the furlong mark and that was the difference between finishing first and second. Nudged up a 1lb but if remaining in the same form can claim a second course win.
Dundalk
5:00 – Anythingyouwantobe – 4/1 @ Bet365 – The selection is lightly raced, just the nine career starts andremains unexposed on the all-weather. Put in a much better effort to finish 4th of 14 over C&D last month. Didn’t get the best of passages at the start but was finishing her race off well. Off the same mark today and should go close.
7:30 – Rock Of Aidan – 11/4 @ William Hill – Gained his first career win at the ninth attempt when winning over C&D three weeks ago. The handicapper has reacted by raising the 5-year-old 12lb but he’s a big gelding who will be able to carry the weight and after his last win the trainer Ado McGuinness told the Racing Post “We’ll have plenty of fun with him during the summer. We’ll probably jump a hurdle with him. He’s a lot of ability”. His new mark of 60 looks more than workable.
Cheers
John
