Tips
The racing continues to stumble on during the quietest time of year, and darts will continue to thrown sparingly. One runs today who has to be of interest as we backed him last month and were able to make a somewhat strong case for him at the weights. A strong jockey booking today means we keep the faith.
One bet today, and we go back in on a familiar one after he delivered for us at 25/1 last time. He’s been nudged up in the weights, but that was a strong race with depth to it, and the form suggests he’s still ahead of his mark and looks worth siding with again.
With the only selection yesterday winning with ease at Wolverhampton, we’re sticking with the venue in a bid to continue the fruitful run. Three of the last four selections have returned a cumaltive +37pts and I’m hopeful on the two tonight will continue in the same vein.
With the Flat season in sight and the middle ground between both Cheltenham and Aintree, this is always my quietest time on the betting front. The level of racing, across both codes, takes a considerable drop for a period and the betting is tough to beat, so posts and bets take a noticeable dip. The fact today’s only bet comes in a Class 6 Classified Stakes on the All Weather says it all, really.
Wet and windy, and I’m under the weather. Tuesday’s exertions possibly the boiling point. I’ve been watching the festival, but unfortunately the posts didn’t make it. However, today goes my bet of the festival, so a point made to get this one together.
Champion Day. Finally Day One of the Cheltenham Festival is upon us. I’m heading to Prestbury Park bright and early, so a brief post with a full set of selections across every race, with advised stakes how I’m playing the races. A treble across three shorter selections and then five solid Each-Way bets at double-figures.
A decent Wolverhampton card today, where there is one bet which leapt off the page at me for one who has course and distance form miles beyond any of his competitors. Hopefully he can kick for home on the turn in and leave his rivals trailing again.
First tickle in the betting since Tuesday, with focus fully on the upcoming Festival, which I’ll be heading to ahead of Tuesday morning. The racecards always take a fair dip in the preceeding days and weeks of the Festival, so it’s a muddling time of it, but there is a lovely bet to be had today.
Two bets on the day, both coming on the All Weather at Dunstall Park, Wolverhampton. Two different angles, one being an eyecatcher who went in the tracker last time out, and one looking extremely well handicapped who drops into this grade for the first time.
A quieter day and my focus has turned full tilt onto Cheltenham Festival, which we’re just under a week out from, so there will be a reduction in posts and length of over the next week and a bit. However, two minimum bets today at prices worth playing. Georgey @ 50/1 ½pt Each-Way | Southwell … Read more
