BEST of the BETS

Correction - multiples total should be minus 2.80

Wednesday

7:45 Newcastle - Shane Donohoe has a good record when sending horses over from Ireland, especially on all weather, and this looks a less competitive race than the couple of Dundalk handicaps that ROCK IN SOCIETY finished 4th in. He has been weakening in final furlong after making the running over 7 furlongs last twice so drop back to 6 should suit. Jockey hasn’t ridden a winner for couple of weeks but he hasn’t had many rides with a good chance.

Rock In Society, 1 pt each way @ 11/2 = 2 pts total stake

Multiple bet

11:30 Lingfield - Ripley @ 9/1 (1/5th Odds, 4 places)
2:50 Ludlow - Cuban Pete @ 11/1
7:45 Newcastle - Dandy Highwayman @ 7/2

0.1 pt each way patent = 1.4 pts total stake

Good luck.

Thanks, CMB. Tower Of Allen placed for a small profit, but the winner was the last one I dropped from my shortlist :(

Multiple bet was poor again with only a couple of placers at 9/1 & 7/1.

Total after 2 days

Singles = +0.25
Multiples = -2.40

And a 16/1 placer too, wasn’t beaten far at all. Very well done.

I wasn’t going to back it but going to follow you by putting it in a little double.

Johnson has a 24% strike rate (+33 LSP) when he has only 1 ride. Combining it with another with strong stats, Tomily (2:20 Lingfield), Richard Hannon has 41% strike rate (+37 LSP) when he has only one runner and it’s priced 5/1 or under.

I agree this has a good chance, couple of nice winners have come from his last race.

Brilliant winner, Joe, good luck with the next one.

Singles = -1
Multiples = -1.4

All 4 unplaced, not the best way to start but let’s see what today brings.

3:00 Southwell - TOWER OF ALLEN, 14 race maiden but finished a close 3rd at Market Rasen in March from same mark as today, that form gives him a good chance. Only 7th of 14 last time, but was weak in betting and possibly needed the run, although trainer usually has a good record first time in season. Trainer has a good record with fancied runners here, 7 from 34 (+25 LSP) with those priced 10/1 or under, and jockey booking also looks interesting.

Tower Of Allen, 1 pt each way @ 9/1 = total stake 2 pts

Also in multiple bet

1:20 Lingfield - Madrinho (13/2)
2:10 Fakenham - Westbrook Bertie (6/1)
3:00 Southwell - Tower Of Allen (9/1)
3:10 Fakenham - Dowhatudobest (10/3)

0.1 pt each way yankee = total stake 2.2 pts

Good luck.

Typical that when you do 4 places, it had to finish 5th lol. Ran ok, but the winner looks an exciting prospect.

3 winners at 5/1, 9/4 & 13/8. Last one was a big drifter and pulled up, but happy with the profit.

Drifted out to 10/1 and never in th race before pulling up. But I still feel it was worth risking £30 on a 10/1 shot with possibility of it returning over a thousand. Thanks everyone.

Thanks guys, having worked out my returns I think I am going to let it run. I will get back £95 for my £11 stake even if it loses, what they are offering me at the moment is £125 so it’s not a huge difference. It has drifted to 8/1 now, if it wins at that price (very unlikely, I know) then I could pick up over a thousand.

Well done Mugz with winner and Aypee with 28/1 placer. Mine was one but last.

Was in first 3 whole way but dropped to 4th at the finish.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks CMB, and well done. Nice to get a winner, hopefully it’s the start of turn around in my form.

Nice placer.

Never got into it, only 4th.

Well done mate, couldn’t believe the price, it was evens earlier, out to 6/1, can’t remember ever seeing a bigger drift than this.

Thanks CMB. West Coast Lass just failed to get up but a very small profit on each way bet.

Good luck, CMB. Chris Grant’s overall record on bumper debuts is poor (3 wins from 136), but this doesn’t look a strong race at all so money would be interesting, and his record at Musselburgh is actually not bad, 10 debuts here before this all double figure prices, no winners but 3 of them placed at 33/1, 16/1 & 28/1.
