Hi all,
Just the one winner courtesy of Major Power (4/1 BOG) who dominated from the front for a tidy win at Dundalk on Friday evening. As I mentioned yesterday, it’s all about chiseling out a profit and we did that again on Friday with one winner. A second winner is the cream on top of the cake.
Saturday’s are always tougher as I normally have six or seven possible selections and today is no different. However, we have managed to find a winner on the last two and hopefully one can be found today.
Doncaster
4:05 – Small Present – 4/1 @ Bet365 & Coral – Was suited by the step up to 3m when getting off the mark at the 7th attempt over hurdle at Catterick last month. Handicapper has raised the selection 6lb for that success which looks fair and Richard Johnson takes the ride on the 7-year-old today.
Newbury
12:40 – Not A Role Model – 7/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Bids for a hat trick, after wins over fences at Wincanton and hurdles at Fakenham 61-days ago. Up 5lb demands more from the 9-year-old but at least he’s got recent winning form, goes well on good ground and Kevin Brogan takes off a handy 5lb.
Lingfield
11:45 – Al Suil Eile – 11/2 @ Bet365 – Got up in the final half furlong to win at Kempton 10-days ago. Unexposed on the polytrack if the 5-year-old get’s a solid gallop to chase he could be up to defying a 4lb penalty rise in the weights.
Cheers
John
