BEST of the BETS

In case you lost it amongst that blizzard of info, they have one Max bet today, Alexander The Great in the 5.0 Newbury, currently 2/1 in many places, 2 pts clear of the second fav in this 8 runner Class 5 handicap over 1M 4F.

I can't see any other recommended bets but maybe I've missed something.

1 pt e/w on singles. Multiples are up to you.

Catt 3.40 C.FIRE 10/1 most places (1/4 odds, 3 places)

" 4.15 R.ARMARA 16/1 several places (1/4 odds, 3 places)

R'common 6.0 N.MOLLY 14/1 WH, T.LAD 18/1 L'brokes, BV (1/4 odds, 4 places)

" 7.35 B.CONTROL 10/1 WH ( 1/5th odds, 3 places)

Ayr 7.50 J.KAY 12/1 most places (1/4 odds, 2 places)

R'common 8.10 R.JAMES 12/1 several places, R.I.HEELS 14/1 several (1/4 odds, 4 places)

Ayr 8.20 G.CHOICE 10/1 most places (1/4 odds, 2 places)

Good stuff. No idea of overall p/l, but I like it.

Results:

Curragh 5.20 LANDLINE 10/1 Betbright L

Carlisle 7.15 C.MAGNIFIQUE 16/1 generally. 2nd 14/1

Cadeau Magnifique went from being last of the 14 runners 2 furlongs out ro being 2nd at the line, and if the race had been 50 yards or so longer it would almost certainly have won. Very striking late run.

1/4 odds the place for first 3, 5 pts returned 1 pt profit on the day for the singles, which are now at +40.7 after 5 days.

Should have been C.MAGNIFIQUE in the 7.15.

Sorry, been out, but don't think I missed any this afternoon.

Curragh 5.20 LANDLINE 10/1 Betbright

Carlisle 7.15 MAGNIFIQUE 16/1 generally.

G.Poet unplaced, Koshari N/R.

Thanks guys.

Great afternoon. Gifted Master delivered 25 pts profit, Purple Rock 1.4 pts, then Low Sun topped it off with another 12.5 pts. Take away 6 points for the unplaced and that's +32.9.

Also had a great win double, place treble and 3 place doubles with my small stakes multiples, but not counting those in my totals.

I'm on +41.7 after 3 days of these. I'm really pleased with the high win/place SR overall. Still early days and I hope it keeps going. You don't need many winners at these prices to produce good profits.

The idea is that these are quality picks which should deliver good enough SR to take advantage of the good prices, which are longer than usual for this quality because of big fields or other factors.

GIFTED MASTER truly gifts at 20/1! Woo-hoo! :party: :party:

6 picks today. usual 1 pt E/W and 1/20th stakes on e/w doubles and trebles, but I'm only counting singles results in the P/L. Even if I get a massive treble or two!

Just that one placer, Original Choice, from the 3 e/ws today.

Loss of 1 pt on the singles. They are +8.8 after 2 days of only doing 5 Star picks 10/1 and over.

Cheers Dexy.

Nice start with Original Choice 3rd 12/1 (16s earlies). 1/4 odds the place, 3 pts profit.

Thanks AKD.

Just 3 roday.

1 point E/W on these, also E/W Trixie at 1/20th singles unit stakes. Meant to say 1/20th, not 1/5th, yesterday.

G'wd 3.0 O.Choice 16/1

" 4.10 I Am A Dreamer 20/1

G'way 7.55 R.Sun 11/1

Sadly, On A May Day went wrong in my last race, just when it was coming to deliver a strong challenge to the eventual winner. Looked to me like O.A.M.Day's hoof had got caught in a hole or hit a dip in the ground.Terrible to see, especially when at full pelt like that, going downhill.

Still made 9.8 pts profit on the singles.

Great placer, Indian Viceroy 2nd 25/1.

Thanks guys. Innocent Touch wins the 3.10, backed right in to 6s. Earlies 14s though. 16.8 pts profit on the race! :party:

Nice start, Zaman 2nd 12/1, earlies 16/1. 3 pts profit on that race.

Just doing those 10/1 and over. E/W singles and e/w doubles and trebles at 1/5th singles unit stakes.

F.L.6.40 H.Flyer 33/1

Epsom 7.30 O.A.M.Day 11/1

All I got from this evening's 10 was Getareason 2nd 9/2 and Timetoget 4th 9/1.

10 pts lost there, and 22.5 lost on day.

Loss after 2 days: 7.18 pts.

Time for a rethink.

Over the 2 fays, those 10/1 and over at time of posting are: L, W 11/1, L, 2nd 12/1, L, L.

I might concentrate on those. On the other hand those 3/1 and under might be worth looking at again. The ones in the middle seem to be the worst performing.
