Friday November 20th

Two bets this evening.

Proud Linus looks good each-way value in a maiden where the principals look suspect. If he has learned to settle, he is with the right man to get a tune out of him in John Ryan. 14/1 looks a good each-way price and if he can break well from his poor draw he can go close.

City Hustler represents a stable who do really well with the horses they send across the water. His pedigree suggests he should be a sprinter but he may just be one of those rare horses who defies his breeding. Having followed his progress, I've noted down umpteen times that he gets outpaced over a mile, and is usually found running on at the finish. He is tried as a stayer for the first time tonight, and I would suggest that in a race that may be run at a moderate pace, the selection may be held up in rear before being sent on around the home turn to make a late challenge. Robert Winston takes the ride and the price looks fair. Leyte Gulf is the danger.

Best Recommendation:

5.50 Wolves Proud Linus, 2pts each-way @ 14/1 (Bet 365 or other guaranteed price bookmaker)

6.50 Wolves City Hustler, 2pts each-way @ 14/1 (Bet 365, guaranteed)
