Fancies For Today III

for today iv gone

• Gaelic Warrior
• The Real Whacker
• Run for Oscar
• Global Citizen

They seem like worthy contenders at reasonable prices so

I also have 2 euro each way on 'Fiercely Proud' at 5:30 - its a throw away bet TBH but i thought i recognized the name, and sure enough this one pipped my Fav 'Notimeforanother' a few months ago - and at 80-1 - a 'just in case' flutter of 2Euro EW seemed like good bantz - the horse owes me cause he ruined an otherwise good trixie, and im fiercely proud ;)

Good luck all!!!!

Oh wise Jedi Master- Where art thou

Mill Green always targets the Pertmpts and usually runs well,a bit old now at 11 but older horses in staying races often run well and at around 25 to 1 will carry a tenner ew of my money 6 places everywhere.

Did not see until now we done if you got the winner.

I did not pay any attention to that type race on the principle "cant back it cant back against it"

In the county hurdle which used to close the meeting in the old days Aucunfrisque at 28 to 1 6 places is worth a few quid ew,was very well backed when making all in the Greatwood hurdle,beating Filey Bay and any improvement will make him hard to beat in the 2.10.

Billaway could be good enough to win the Hunter Chase at 4.10 and in the last,another tough handicap I like the look of the fast improving Iroko.

The TWO Amigos likes marathon trips and is a very good ew bet to win the 3.oc Midland Grand National at Utoxotter sat,ran well off higher mark in this race in the past and looks a good bet to me at 10s ew MANY FIRMS GOING 6 PLACES.

Another winner with a nice drift, amazing stuff zimmer.

Nice finish to the punting day

Galahad Threepwood travels so well in races its a pleasure to watch,looked as iff he would win easily last time when going clear but whether the step up in trip or idling in front was responsible he tied up in the last 100 yards and only just hung on.

Dropped back in trip Galahead could make light of a 5 lbs penalty and is worth supporting in the 3.25 at Warwick,4/1 at the moment and might drift a little to make a good ew bet.

Might not have a bet sat for some reason the racing does not appeal to me.

I looked at the Irish Lincoln but with 27 runners on heavy ground it wont be easy,the racing post says high numbers are favoured but on heavy it seems to me that low numbers have the edge.

The first and 2nd favs are UK trained but the 2 I liked in the race are Cosmic Vega and Emporio but both are drawn high so I will probably just watch and see whose horses are forward.

Ado McGuinness runs 7 and its impossible to know which is best.

I may be tempted to have a small ew on Raffles Wonder in the 5.20 at Kelso,I tipped him here when he won and he is decent enough but this is a final and much tougher than his last win with a few unexsposed horses who may be hard to beat.

I will probably have a few bets on the golf matches and just watch the racing and wait for another day.

BallyGeary won the the 4.10 at Kelso in good style,that's the hatrick for him since he was 2nd to Raffles Wonder which gives some small hope for my tenner ew.

Rossa Ryan goes to Southwell just to ride one horse Greystoke,in a tricky contest.

Greystoke hung left on his last two runs and may be helped going left handed today,5s with Ladbrokes who are money back for a tenner if 2nd 3rd or 4th to the jolly.

These have heavy ground form

One of my favourite meetings takes place on friday,the big money championship races on the AW at Newcastle.

The meeting used to be held at Lingfield but i think Newcastle is a fairer venue with less hard luck stories.

In the last race i give an ew chance to the tough sprinter SUMMERGHAND 4.45,a great servant to David OMeara and with Danny Tudhope on board can be competitive.

The days best bet for me is the 3 year old PERDIKA,this is probably the best bet i have seen this year.This is the 3 year old championship race on the AW,worth over £77,000 to the winner, colts carry 9 stone 7 and fillies carry 9 stone 2.

On official ratings there are only 3 horses with a chance of winning,Perdika,Shouldvebeenaring and New Definition but as we know it does not always work out as it should.However i believe bookmakers have made a mistake in pricing up the race.

The fav Shouldvebeenaring is only 1 lb wrong with PERDIKA and they should finish 1st and 2nd,the 2nd fav Shaquille would be receiving 10 lbs!! from PERDIKA in a handicap but is giving 5 lbs and the price seems all wrong to me.

Everything seems right for PERDIKA,she stays further than 6 furlongs and thats important at Newcastle with the last one and a half furlongs uphill.Races are often won here by horses coming late and that will suit PERDIKA (it will also suit SUMMERGHAND).

Bookmakers are closed on friday but are betting on fridays racing now,i have had a reasonable bet ew on PERDIKA at 5/1 with PP and i may get a bigger price in one of the other shops tomorrow.

I cannot see PERDIKA out of the first 3 and am hoping to get the easter expenses.

7/1 now with Bet365.

Sorry to the one or two on here who take an interest in my suggestions,for reasons that escape me neither horse appeared to be put into their races today.

The drift on Perdika was ominus and the ride she got puzzled me a bit,seemed to make a totally unnecessary switch to the rail when there was plenty of room where she was and not forgetting she was switched off the rail at the start anyway.

The way the race panned out suggests to me that today was not the day maybe because they felt they could not beat Shaquille (who refused to go in the stalls).

Whatever the case i will give her another chance and she is gone in the tracker,gave back a good few quid today but thats how it goes.

The 2.25 at Muss is a decent saturday handicap,it was won by the game GWEEDORE last year and though 7 lbs higher this year i believe he can win again.

Has plenty form at the track and can go well after a break,closely matched with Autumn Festival and Abduction on previous running GWEEDORE has the benefit of Billy Loughnane in the saddle and that can make the difference with his 5 lbs claim,best price 15/2 with PP who go 4 places online i am hoping GWEEDORE will do the biz.

A bounce back after a disappointing day yesterday.

Well done ran a cracking race at the last fence.

Well done,coming to the last you could not see him get up,had he fell at the last we would believe he would have just run into a place,thats what makes racing great.

Unlucky Zimmer just left it a bit late at the end.
