BEST of the BETS

Following on from the relative success of my post using this approach earlier in the week, I'm having another bash today.
HOWEVER, the 4 horses today are all long prices, so expectation is very low, with the hope of maybe bagging a couple of places, so here goes.....

STAR CRACKER 2:30 Ayr @ 16/1 - A course regular, who was 2nd on this card last year over CD (same class, ground etc.)
Was beaten a neck that day off an OR of 57 at an SP of 7/2.
Today he is running off a mark of 49, 8lbs lower!
Comes into the race from a recent win at Newcastle over 5f (up 4lbs for that win)
This is the lowest mark that Star Cracker has run off at this regular hunting ground. Has only raced 6 times off mark of 49 or lower, yielding 2 wins & 2 2nds.
Arguably the horse is more suited to 5 furlongs, but we know Goldie loves a winner/plot at Ayr. Watch closely if backed near the off.

STRICTLY ART 3:15 Yarmouth @ 14/1 - for Alan Bailey
2nd in this race last year off a mark of 61 (with Tim Clark claiming 3). Returns off the same OR today with Jess Cooley claiming 7lbs.
Recent form has been poor, but if can return to a semblance of what he is capable of then he could be well in.
Was an ultra consistent horse through 2017 & 2018 - 3 wins and 11 places from 19 runs!!

WIDNES 3:45 Yarmouth @ 14/1 - Another for Alan Bailey.
3rd of 7 in this race last year off a mark of 66, despite reportedly being restless in the stalls.
Running off a mark 10lbs lower today (56), his career-low handicap mark.
This is the gelding's 2nd run after a wind op (arguably a positive)
Concern that the horse has only ever won once.

PUDDING CHARE 5:05 Ayr @ 15/2
Surprise 50/1 winner of a 1m1f apprentice handicap on this card last year, racing off an OR of 60.
This year sees two division of the race over a mile, and Pudding Chare returns off a 6lbs lower mark of 54.
Nealry half of all career runs have come at Ayr, so certainly knows the course!
Has one of the better, and more experienced, jockeys in the race onboard in Toby Eley. He has ridden 3 winners from 11 rides in the past fortnight.
Running off a career low handicap mark.
Was not beaten far on recent re-apprearance run in a higher class affair at Hamilton.

So that's it, there are probably also a lot of negatives for each horse but I tend to not focus on them!!

n.b. The 3:55 at Warwick sees last year's winner and runner up re-oppose in MISTER UNIVERSUM & MYSTIC SKY.
MISTER UNIVERSUM @ 7/2 runs off a 1lb lower mark than for the win last year, Harry Skelton is back onboard and the stable are on fire!
MYSTIC SKY @ 20/1 is worse off at the weights with the above, but could be capable of going close again if on a going day.

Good Luck with your selections today
