2.55 Lingfield Reginald Claude 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 13/2 (VC Bet, 6/1 Generally guaranteed) - WON
There isn't much between the selections and the favourite Bussa on the book, yet Reginald Claude is six times the price and has a better draw. He has also won over course and distance. The race should play into his hands with Spartic setting a strong pace, and from stall three Racheal Kneller, who rides the selection really well, should be able to pounce late on. There is plenty of dead wood in here and as a result I'm inclined to play each-way, with only a minimal loss if the selection runs in the first three.
5.45 Kempton Now What 1pt each-way AND 2pts win @ 12/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Interesting that Johnny Portman sends a whole pile of horses to the races in the coming days, especially as a trainer who tends to get winners in clusters. The selection goes well fresh, is on a fair handicap mark, and has posted some really decent figures in better company than this at this track in the past. The booking of Joey Haynes, the latest Balding-attached 7lb claimer to impress, is a bonus - he rides the track well and is well worth his 7lb claim.
Profit & loss: day: +22.40 / month: -6.89 / year: -6.89
