Friday 21st December 2012

Just one for this evening.

5.20 Wolverhampton Pippy 4pts win @ 10/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)

I always take note when Tom Dascombe fits headgear on a horse, the stable are shrewd enough with knowing what is required to eke out improvement and it is interesting Pippy gets a first time visor this evening. In fact, I find it interesting he is being kept on the go at this time of year and I can only think they reckon they can pick up a race and perhaps a Christmas winner for Mr. and Mrs. Rooney. The selection had been off since September when returning last week at Lingfield, never getting the breaks in running and ultimately looking as if the run would bring him on. He returns to Wolverhampton today off a fair mark of OR68 and as a course and distance winner, he has to be respected. I can pick a few holes in the form of most of these, and if the Johnston horse doesn't prove to be better than his mark, Pippy looks the next most likely in my view and at a double figure price he definitely looks a couple of points too big. The presence of the excellent Richard Kingscote in the saddle is a major positive and a win bet is advised.


Profit & loss: day: -4.00 / month: -101.00 / year: -99.20
