Hi all,
It’s more up and down than a rollercoaster at present. The win strike rate has dropped but the profit has gone up in recent weeks. Given the average odds have increased it’s not surprising that the losing runs are getting longer.
Sedgefield
5:03 – Point Break – 4/1 @ Bet365 – The 6-year-old has run with encouragement in novice hurdles last season including finishing runner-up to useful novice chaser Rouge Vif at Newcastle last January. Disappointing on handicap debut in October but was in the process of running a big race, travelling like the winner when making a race ending mistake three out. Was backed into favouritism that day and the market support he received suggests connections think they have a well handicapped horse on their hands.
Chelmsford
6:00 – Fen Breeze – 11/2 @ Bet365 – Won over C&D on her racecourse debut at this meeting 12 months ago. Not really built on that since moving in handicap company. Although she has run respectably on her last two starts at Wolverhampton & Kempton, since returning from a 189-day absence. The selection has been short in the market on both starts since her return to action and looks capable of taking advantage of her current mark.
6:30 – Fighting Temeraire – 10/3 @ Bet365 – A C&D winner back in December off 1lb lower. Found 6f to short at Kempton 31-days ago. The return to 7f is very much in his favour and granted a decent pace to chase can go in again in the hands of Adam Kirby.
Cheers
John
