Nice to see Rosie Baloo oblige at Sedgefield yesterday at 10/3. A mare we’ve followed for a wee while now and she done it nicely. Interesting too to listen to William Easterby afterwards speak very well of her and her intentions over fences. She’s well above average and one we’ll likely have close tabs on for a fair while.
It’s quiet enough today and easy to let run, but I have chanced a single bet on the Irish handicapper moving over to the UK, as this one has some interesting form to a far higher mark, so at huge odds I couldn’t pass up.

Result: Placed – 4/11 +5.6pts
Taken down early, dwelt start, held up in midfield, headway over 1f out, went fourth inside final furlong, not pace to challenge (SP 33/1)
A rare enough Maiden winner for Shiela Lavery in Ireland and went on to run over seven furlongs in a race which five of them went on to contest in Listed company. She didn’t do much in that, but beaten eight lengths she wasn’t entirely disgraced.
She now moves over to Iain Jardine’s and goes off of a mark of just 65, which if she can run anywhere near her best in Ireland then she should far outrun her odds. Her form is patchy, so this could wind up anything, but at wild odds she is worth a swing.
Bet365, SkyBet and PaddyPower are all 33/1 paying 4 Places on current number of runners.
Best of luck with your punting today,
