100 Bets to Broke Flat Season

Newmarket 3:00

Stakes will be low in these print handicaps this year but I’ll still have to put up a few at huge prices in case of the bomb dropping at some stage.

Swiss Cross looks to be improving again after a decent run last time and is down to his last winning mark. That win has worked out well and shows he is capable of running a big race in a big handicap at some stage soon. 50/1 with 5 places on Bet365 is worth a small gamble.

3:45 Ascot

I love these big field Ascot Handicaps, and this looks like a typical minefield tomorrow. A couple stick out for me at big prices. Professor is certainly capable of this mark judging by his run last year in the Wokingham of a higher mark. He came back to form last time out when second to Emell and is still 6 lbs lower than that Wokingham run. I thought he would be shorter here that 25/1 so that looks value. Hawkeyethenoo also caught the eye a bit in the same race and he is in here of a very low mark with a 7lbs claimer on. I think he will out run his 40/1 odds.

Lingfield 3:30

Burano was backed last time and although he didn’t finish out his race that well, he is just back down to his winning turf mark and I would be at all surprised if he showed up well here. The slightly softer ground should help. This race looks a weak enough affair.

1 Point win 16/1 Bet365/Sporting/Coral

York 2:10

Indy looks one of the most unexposed in this field and there was plenty to like about his seasonal reappearance until he ran out of steam which is probably understandable. His 3yo form is also very good and if he can move on from his seasonal debut here when a bit fitter he can get involved at a big looking 20/1. I’m also going to have a tiny bet at a huge price on Sir Jack Layden . He was a very good 2yo and perhaps suffered for his Meyden trip as a 3yo. He can also improve for his seasonal reappearance here at a big price.

1 Point win Indy 20/1 Various
½ Point win Sir Jack Layden 50/1 Various

York 2:40

Blaine has an excellent course record to say the least with 3 wins around here. He was poor last time but that can be ignored with sprinting as poor runs are regular in these races. A mark of 100 in well within his grasp judging by his runs last year and 25/1 with 5 places looks huge.

1 Point EW 25/1 5 Places Paddy Power

York 3:15

Caspar Netscher has been running well the last year or so at the highest level and on his day is well capable of winning this race. The race terms aren’t the best for him but he looks a good few points too big at 25/1. Also I think Gathering Power may be an improver this year judging by what I saw last year and on her reappearance. I don’t think the ground will be in her favour here but at 33/1 ill have a min bet just in case as she was my original selection and changing minds leads to frustration.

1 Point win Caspar Netscher 25/1 Various

Have to put up a last minute selection here that i forgot to post last night, and just realized it. I think Icon Dream could wel improve from his seasonal reappearance and has some decent form on good ground. He is of a workable mark and ill have to have a small min gamble at a huge 66/1


1/2 Point EW 66/1 Various
