A second yesterday returning us some each-way money and a terrible ride at Wolverhampton summed the day up, what a shocker that was on Diligent Lady, impossible to have taken the horse much wider if he tried.
As to today, a busy today potentially, with Newcastle hosting 5 class 3 or above cards on the All-Weather, before that a couple of races to consider at Taunton and Wetherby.
Taunton
14:30 – In a messy looking race with plenty having questions to answer regarding performance on ground and/or over distance. Rockadenn inexplicably ran-out last time out but has at least placed over distance and on the ground. A Nicholls horse with Bryony on-board hence the market may talk closer to the off but at 9/1 seems a worthwhile each-way play.
ROCKADENN 9/1 1PT EW
Wetherby
15:55 – Nothing of interest.
Newcastle
16:40 – Nothing of interest.
17:40 – Nothing of interest.
18:10 – Nothing of interest, saying that I much prefer Bravdao over the favourite as a bet if I were playing.
18:40 – Tadleel, Revolutionise and Repertoire stand-out as the wrong price (12/1, 8/1 and 18/1 respectively) and are our selections in what looks a wide open affair.
TADLEEL 12/1 1PT EW
REVOLUTIONISE 8/1 1PT EW
REPERTPOIRE 18/1 1PT EW
19:40 – DUKE OF FIRENZE looked sweet on Valentine’s Day when striking Cupid’s arrow to win at Southwell, whilst an inconsistent performer his speed figures that day would trouble all bar the favourite (Kind Review) on bare form alone, hence let us hope his luck is in and can strike again today.
