Supakalanistic led from the front, going off at 7/1 (backed at 9/2) and being pipped after the last to finish second, ensuring an each-way return on that selection, sadly Mr Scrumpy in the same race was never competitive and Tawny Port on the all-weather started slowly and had a torrid time with the kickback.
A slight loss on the day but nothing to worry about, if our second had held on we would be right back into the black, hence on the right track.
Huntingdon & Chepstow today to consider.
Huntingdon
13:30 – Nothing of interest, I would back whatever started the largest of the top pair if I had to, thank fully I do not.
Chepstow
13:55 – the two locked at the top of the market, Grumpy Charley and Eamon An Cnoic both at the time of writing 11/10, have only placed once on going of Soft between them once in 7 attempts.
It is accepted today they face 3 mediocre rivals but this provides us a great betting opportunity.
We will back all of the 3 each-way should an upset occur. If not, we will be safe in the knowledge that we played with the odds in our favour, as should they take each other on and/or the ground does its thing it could be a solid betting opportunity.
CASWELL BAY 10/1 1PT EW
REPETITIO 18/1 1PT EW
THE LAST BUT ONE 66/1 1PT EW
14:57 – BLACKJACK KENTUCKY is the selection, his front-running style should suit this affair for the Nicholls yard, down in the weights and the market talks for Poker Play but he has only placed once over distance in 5 attempts and today they are both up in class.
BLACKJACK KENTUCKY 2PT WIN
15:27 – VIENNA COURT is the only horse in the entire field to at least place over distance 60% or more of the times he has ran, further we know he handles the ground, all of the others having only placed once in a combined 15 attempts.
He seems a safe selection on that basis to at least place.
VIENNA COURT 1PT EW
