We made over 40pts profit yesterday with Bullet Train winning easily at 11/4 to land our biggest bet, and Come And Go looked a steal at our early 12/1 when he also ran out a comfortable winner. Shayala was a non runner.
I really hope David Elsworth supplements Myplacelater for the Oaks now that Bullet Train has further franked her form. I've advised clients to take 100/1+ on Betfair, but if you can get anything around 50/1 now that's huge. Shop around and you should definitely find a bookmaker willing to give you 33/1 or 40/1 ante post rules. From what I'm told at this stage she is only a bit better than 50-50 to be suplemented but we'll have a great bet on our hands if she is - I could see her being sent off 14/1 or even less.
A rare Sunday bet, a small investment of less than 5% of yesterday's profits.
3.10 Plumpton King Raven 2pts win @ 7/1 (Coral, guaranteed)
We backed 14/1 My Matilda last time out pointing out that she is by Silver Patriarch and is bred to appreciate bog-like conditions and a real stamina test. King Raven, however, has some good old form on better ground and is beginning to look well handicapped. He put in a very game front running performance against My Matilda last time out and I think he probably only went down in second because of the heavy ground. I have absolutely no idea why Geography is favourite here other than his connections and the "1" beside his name, I can't se how he is a 2/1 shot. My Matilda is next best in a weak contest but if King Raven turns up in the same form he can reverse the form on better ground and on better terms weights wise. Plumpton also suits front runners and I'm hoping the promising Danny Cook sends him on from the get go and hangs tough down the home straight to land the spoils.
Keep an eye out between 10am and 11am tomorrow. We're not outlaying a huge amount but it could be a very big day for us - I'll explain more in my e-mail!
