Can this nightmare continue?

Things have gone from bad to worse! Not even the cert of the day could manage a first three finish. We will not move from our ideals, we will stick to what we know best and the way we study form to continue finding winners. Everyone has a bad run but this is starting to get silly! It changes today...

Our 3 for this afternoon.

4.10 Chepstow Fillies Handicap 1m - Respite
This horse will return to form today with everything in her favour. One bad run does not make a bad horse and while since moving into handicaps shes shown very little, we feel that will change today. Liam Jones is very capable and the Haggas stable can never be over looked in these sorts of races. Anything around 3/1 should be taken.

5.20 Catterick Handicap 7f - Neo's Mate
We fully believe in horses for courses and Neo's mate fits that perfectly. She won twice at this track last month and while those wins were over 6f, we see no reason why she wont stay this extra furlong. There is wieght in the argument that she could improve over it. Wont mind a bit of rain in the ground but wouldnt want much more. Take the 4/1 it could look a very nice price come race time.

5.45 Roscommon Handicap 7f - Battimoore
We are taking a risk that he will stay this far but nothing suggests he wont. Pat Smullen in the saddle and after some very encouraging runs this season he looks bang ready to win a race today. Off a similar mark as those runs and with an excellent draw he is as good a 9/2 bet we can find today.

Enjoy the days sport!

Can we get any worse?

Over the last few days i don't think we can, the horses are running well without winning. Its a phase everyone goes through, and today we break out of it and land some winners.

Our 3 for today!

3.45 Ripon 6f Handicap - Kerry's Requiem
At around 8/1 this horse cant be overlooked today. Should have already registered a win over this course and distance if had not found loads of trouble in running. Often an unlucky horse and not helped by her attitude but with the 7lb swing with her conqueror last time out, we see this as being enough to reverse the form. In good form and primed to run a big race.

5.00 Newton Abbot 3m 2f Conditional Handicap - Scotch Corner
We can overlook this horse today after his run last time out. The price means you can back him EW which is utter madness really, this horse wins today for us and we fully advise you get on it now at around 7/1. Staying on like a train last time out over a trip short of his best. Although not proven he stays this far, his run last time out suggests he will. We feel this extra distance will play to all his strengths. Hit form at just the right time.

7.00 Windsor 5f Handicap - Sister Clement
Will need to focus more emphasis on speed here but there cant be any reasons why this horse wont win tonight. Won as she liked at Newbury and only just failed off this mark last time out, not getting a clear run. Everything looks good for a solid run tonight and you cant ignore Hannon/Hughes at Windsor at the best of times. She is still way way ahead of the handicapper and should be backed at around 6/4.

Enjoy the days sport!

Back to form today!

Disastrous yesterday, no other word for it. Not even Rainbow View could get going quick enough to beat the very impressive Midday. Who fully deserved her group 1 win after coming so close too often this season.

Our 3 for today.

2.45 Newbury 7f Nursery Handicap - Jehu EW
Needs to show improvement to land the prize today, but we see no reason why he wont. Stayed on very strongly over this trip last time out and in our opinion won very cosily although the short head result might show otherwise. If Culhane can get him going a bit sooner today then he has a very good chance. Might show better form over a mile in due course but at around 14/1 he is our EW selection.

2.55 Chester 6f Nursery - Transfixed
A very consistent horse who likes this course and distance having already won over it this season from a poor draw. Not the most unexposed in the line up but the one most likely to run to form and with the likely favourite not expected to be happy at this trip, we like the look of Transfixed today from a good draw. Take the 100/30 as it will be shorter at the off.

4.35 Chester 1m 4f Handicap - Robby Bobby
In the content of this race he would have every chance in this race on previous form. Giving his chance away by pulled too hard last time out. Not the most reliable horse you will ever back but he is dangerously well handicapped that he cant be missed today. The trip and ground will suit to perfection and if Greg Farley can get him to settle better then he looks a good thing at around 7/2.

Enjoy the days sport!

Rainbow day!

A fairly poor day yesterday but offset with the 5/1 place of Docofthebay (25/1 3rd). Today's racing looks great with the Nassau Stakes being the highlight for us. Will today be the day Rainbow View shows she is a top class filly? Well we certainly think so!

Our 3 for today.

1.55 Goodwood Handicap 1m 3f - Thin Red Line
Needs to find improvement on his last run to win again, but the form of his last time out second is looking very good. Likes to race prominent which will suit today and with the slight drop back in trip he will run a very good race today. Everything looks to be in his favour at around 8/1 he is a cracking price with Jamie Spencer in the saddle.

2.10 Newmarket Fillies Nursery Handicap 6f - Bathwick Xaara EW
We are taking a bit of a flyer with this horse today, but the way she ran last time out suggested this drop in trip would suit her down the ground. Cost next to nothing at the sales but has shown she has ability in all her starts. Looks to be on what looks a stiffish mark but we disagree with that and see no reason why she wont run well today at 20/1 EW.

3.05 Goodwood Nassau Blue Square Stakes 1m 1f - Rainbow View
This trip will be the making of her. The form figures looks disappointing when you take into account she was the star 2yo of last season, but those figures are top class form when you delve a little deeper. Staying on each time and just not quite getting there, this trip will near on guarantee her first win of the season. Although its a top class race, she looks the stand out horse in it! Currently trading at 4/1 she cant be missed. SMASH THE WALL CERTAINTY!

Enjoy the days sport!
