Friday April 16th

Disappointing stuff for us yesterday. We're four points in profit for the week,
which is ordinary form for us, we still have the weekend to come though.

Just one race of interest tonight.

8.00 Kempton

Relative Strength 3pts win @ 5/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Scamperdale 1pt win @ betfair S.P.

Andrew Balding has an excellent record in middle distance races at
this track and
his Relative Strength makes plenty of appeal off a fair looking mark
tonight. In a
race contested by quite a few hold up horses, he is a prominent racer
and is drawn
best of all in stall ten to execute those tactics. Stand Guard might
take him on for
the lead but the selection does not need to lead outright, he simply
likes to be there
or thereabouts. He is one pound lower than his last winning mark and goes really
well fresh, at this time of year, at this track. Liam Keniry has been
booked to do
the light weight.

I'm happy to have a saver on Scamperdale at a bigger price, at betfair S.P. The
selection is often disregarded in the markets but make no bones he is
a very good
all weather horse on his day, and he is overpriced at present. He is
the sort who
could drift to any price you like on the exchanges and still win, as he did last
season when romping home under today's claimer at eleven furlongs here.
