Friday 23rd November 2012

Both yesterday's selections ran well but ultimately found other horses too good.

Just the one selection for Friday.

5.10 Wolverhampton Thecornishcockney 3pts each-way AND 1pt win @ 8/1 (Bet 365, Stan James, Betpack.com, guaranteed, 15/2 VC Bet, Paddy Power, guaranteed) - E/W 2nd

An interesting race in which the favourite looks short enough at around even money, with a competitive field against him and an each-way bet on Thecornishcockney appeals at the prices. The selection is held by the favourite on Lingfield form but he looks very much unexposed over staying trips and his form has improved since he was stretched out in trip - indeed he has probably been unlucky not to get his head in front by now. I'm not sure the Lingfield form will hold up here, given that a 7lb claimer held up the selection well in rear on a track that is definitely favouring those ridden prominently. I think today's course and distance are ideal for the selection, the stable's horses are generally running well and the booking of Robert Winston suggests they mean business today.


Profit & loss: day: +0.80 / month: +59.70 / year: +39.80
