Things are picking up!!

Well 1/3 yesterday with a 15/2 winner. Things are slowly picking up after the already said "awful Ascot" we had. I mean could it have been any worse?? We were shocking, 1 winner over 4 days. But 3 winners in the last 2 days have done much to steady our nerves and get the ball rolling the way we want it too. I guess the bookies got the Laura Robson match correct but she put up a very brave fight to take the first set, and the future looks very bright for her. Even Federer got broken in the first set, before recovering well to win in straight sets. Will there be any big shocks this year???

3.45 Beverley Handicap - Snowed Under
Darryl Holland has a couple of nice rides today at Beverly including the hot favourite in the 4.15. The this is the one we like the look of today. Top weight but this horse loves it here having already won 3 times over course and distance. Plus with the ground very much in its favour. Holland has already won 3 times on this horse and a 4th looks very likely today.

4.00 Brighton Handicap - Crystallize
This horse scored twice last month and didn't lose any credit running 4th last time out. Running off the same mark of 68 today and with bottom weight in a tight race is taken to win. There are a couple of course specialists in the race but they are very hit and miss. Crystallize will do for us.

6.20 Newbury Apprentice Handicap - Sinbad the Sailor
There is a very strong word around for this horse tonight and we are sure the current price will shorten. Showing vastly improved form last time out. John Hills horses are in great form at the moment, we are confident he will defy the 3lb rise and we are not the only ones. This horse is fully expected to win this evening. Take the currently available 4/1.

If you are wanting an interest bet at Wimbledon this afternoon then look no further than R. Genpri to give L.Hewitt a very tight game, at around 5/1. Hewitt is not the player he was and has been struggling for form over the last few months.

Happy punting and good luck to Andy Murray today in his first round match, not that he should need it.
