    7.30 Chelmsford Essgee Nics 6/1 win

    Last 2 runs over C & D were okay, but from high enough draws. Is drawn lower today. Another one that has seen money today, but still at a fair price. Is current third favourite, and I at least prefer him over the 2 ahead of him in the market.

    8.00 Chelmsford Valletta Sunset 10/1 e/w

    A few in this that cases can be made for. This one is a bit of value; as I feel on form, and price, that he has solid win and place credentials. Latest run; which was at Lingfield over 2fs shorter, was his first on the AW. I feel he has some scope for improvement. First time blinkers too, and I only view this as a positive, though the pundits generally like to differ - they can't hurt anyway.

    1.50 Newcastle Notre Ami 14/1 e/w , Madam Scully 40/1 e/w

    Notre Ami is topweight and down in grade, and could be capable of a bold showing.

    Madam Scully is the bottomweight, and a big price, but is not out of this imo. Mare has only had 9 outings over hurdles, and her run at Catterick in January could well see her go close here.

    Gluck :)

    5.30 delayed - Zahirah win 4/1

    6.30 Chel Invincible Larne win

    Only 5 in this. Think this fella will be favoured to win here; provided the step up to a Class 4 isn't too high a grade, - has only won 2 Class 5s before - as he's been running well at the course lately. I think he's capable of putting in the fastest time today. Price smaller than I normally put up, but I think he wins today.

    5/2 and bigger currently - might wait a bit to see if he goes a bit higher. Still counts for stats tho :pac:

    7.00 Chel Global Art 9/2 e/w . Lucky's Dream 12/1 e/w

    A trappy affair with only 6 going to post, so I'm going to chance 2 in a race where the topweight and fav Power of States could be vulnerable. Not for stats, but a combi forecast with jolly as well :D

    3.25 Doncaster Cathal's Star 25/1 e/w , Zafarshan 33/1 e/w , Frau Georgia 22/1 e/w

    Also, to add; I'm not liking the fav Bushypark here. Ground supposedly goodish. Races he won impressively recently were on soft and heavy going. That would make him a solid place lay for me at somewhere around 1.25, but I'm not on the exchanges, so won't be doing him myself.

    I hope the ground stays the way it currently is described as good to soft, as that would favour my selections.

    2.17 Doncaster Doctor Dex 20/1 e/w

    Ran okay - looked like threatening about 4-5fs out; but faded alas in the last 2 1/2fs, or so.... Got a bit of a run though, so there's that.. 'A run for our money' is part of this craic too - won't be collecting, but I don't expect any returns from at least half the selections... Many more to come, and hopefully get a few shouts (albeit muted :pac: - damn apartments and looney neighbours :mad: :(:D :P ) in; plus might get a winner again yet... :)

    Come on Baratineur!

    A few at Wolves each way to keep it going. Quite a few in a couple of races :pac:

    4.15 Bruyere 16/1
    5.15 Bird For Life 9/1
    5.45 Snow Ocean 15/2 , Goddess Of Fire 14/1
    7.15 Melodic Charm 9/1 , El Hombre 15/2 , Kapono 20/1
    7.45 Storm Over 9/2 , Iconic Knight 11/2 , Sepahi 40/1 , Bombastic 15/2 , Glorious Charmer 28/1
    8.15 Heer We Go Again 8/1

    At the prices I think Bruyere, and Heer We Go Again are the picks of the bunch. Goddess Of Fire in the 5.45 is the most interesting one; especially if she sees any money.

    ref this one for future: 1056rkbrdld

    Hopefully can collect on 1 or 3 :)

    Gluck

    A couple at Donny

    12.55 Theatre Legend 9/1 , Shantaluze 22/1

    Each way on t'brace; hopefully one wins, and t'other comes placed. Soft ground and following pace could be the key in this ere race :D

    Massive plunge on this one. Am rubbin me hands already :D :pac:

    I see Micky's at it again - another Hammond plunge in the 4.45 Wol with Burnage Boy into 14s from 40s... Am not seeing the angle myself - very poor form, and I think it's the jockey's first ever ride.

    Was trying to make a case for Al Ozzdi myself, but couldn't.

    Had another look, and at a big price I went for AMOR FATI 16/1 e/w. This one is a bit hit and miss, but is a 3 time course winner, and can get involved here with a decent late run. Gina Mangan; who claims 7, takes the ride. Trainer David Evans is in form as well. The combo have had a recent winner with Siavash (who goes in the 5.45 under Charles Bishop this time) last month. Can make a case for a few in this from an each way perspective, but apart from Amor Fati, they are too short imo...

    2.30 Southwell Dame du Soir 22/1 e/w

    Bit of a punt this one. I think the second and third favourites are vulnerable; either owing to the ground, which is soft (Nordica Bleue) , and the trip which may be too short at 2m (Shantung). The selection is mainly a chaser, and, in her few hurdles bids she has only prevailed once. I'm hoping she can take a lead, and at least be still in contention before the taps are turned on.

    Not at all confident about this one's chances, but at the prices I can't resist having a bet all the same :P Saying that though, if one or two at the top of the market don't run as well as expected the door could be left open for a bigger priced one to get a place.


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    A poor day yesterday, and the majority of races I'm not liking the look of for trying to find a few darts. Hopefully the above can at least put up a bold showing. It's her second hurdles outing in a row on the back of her most recent two runs prior to that over the larger obstacles; where she unseated the rider in one, and fell in the other.

    Has had 1 win in both chase and hurdles, and they were over 2 miles, so it's interesting that Dame du Soir's latest outing over hurdles was over 2 1/2 miles. Could be the trainer was trying to get her to drop a few pounds to give her a chance in a race like today's, and thus give her confidence if and when she tackles the larger obstacles again.

    Her trainer David Bridgwater has a very good strike rate at the course with 13 winners from 62 runners over the past 10 years.

    12.55 Southwell Joly Maker 9/2 win , Nobel Leader 11/1 e/w

    Think Jonjo's is a massive price at 9/2; although it has drifted from 5/2. On form it has the best chance here no doubt. Am not understanding the drift at all.

    Nobel Leader at 11/1 I can't resist going each way on, as he's won at this distance before on soft ground. As well as that; 8 of the 9 horses have ran here before, and the 2 I've gone for are the only ones to have won at Southwell - both with a strike rate of 1 from 3.

    Also done a reverse forecast - just sayin....


    Gluck :)
