Hi all,
A frustrating day as Mr Tyrell got chinned on the line. That’s the second time in the last few days that we have seen one of the selections get caught on the line. If those two had have held on we would have been looking at a nice profit for the week. But that’s horse race betting for you.
Just to let you know I’m taking a few days holiday which means there won’t be any selections on Sunday or Monday.
Right, onto Friday’s selections.
Pontefract
12:15 – Danzart – 9/2 @ Ladbrokes & Coral – Left his Windsor racecourse debut behind when 4th of 9 at Goodwood 17-days ago. Drop back to a stiff 5f should suit the colt who looks capable of winning a race for a trainer who’s 5-19 26% +15.70 with his juveniles at Pontefract in the past 5-years.
Chester
3:10 – Revich – 5/1 @ Bet365 – A winner over C&D as a juvenile and was a close-up 3rd of 12 over C&D last September. Just 2lb above his last winning mark and shaped like he was finding his form when 5th of 12 at Newmarket last month. Looks set for a big run from handy draw in stall 2 and in the first-time visor.
Chepstow
6:35 – Punchbowl Flyer – 6/1 @Bet365 – A winner at Brighton last season. He returned from a winter gelding operation to finish a close-up 2nd of 12 at Newbury back in June. Ran to a similar level of form when 3rd of 5 on his next start at Newmarket before failing to see out 7f last time. The 3-year-old can be a tricky ride but the first time blinkers are applied today for his return to sprinting.
Cheers
John
