7.20 Ripon Sassy Brown 2pts each-way @ 12/1 (Generally, get guaranteed) AND 1pt win @ Betfair SP.
Tim Easterby has his string in decent form now after his usual slow start to the year, and his Sassy Brown showed just enough first time up to recommend her here in what looks an average fillies' maiden auction. Ripon is a track some horses act on and some don't, and an ability to handle its undulations is paramount for any horse who hopes to win there. Easterby's string do very well here, and his 16/110 15% strike rate with juveniles at the track returning a profit of +£51.71 to the pound stake is impressive. The selection is bred to make a decent two year old at six or seven furlongs, but was taken off her feet over five at Carlisle on her debut, in a race where the market leaders went off much too quick. She was allowed to come home in her own time and never hit with the whip, the benefits of which could be gained this evening. With the dead eight lining up, the current 12/1 on offer makes plenty of appeal each-way and we'll add an additional point at Betfair SP.

Afternoon bet:
A nice winner yesterday with Foreign Rhythm obliging, and what a fine ride Vicky Davies gave the mare. As I'd suggested, she dropped the horse in which gave saved her energy for her finishing effort up the stiff Ayr climb to the line. She deserves the plaudits for being brave enough to hold her mount up.
One for this afternoon, we may also have evening bets released before 5.30pm.
2.30 Ayr Go Jamesway 5pts win @ 13/2 (William Hill, guaranteed, 6/1 generally guaranteed)
Represents the Fahey team, whose stable have sprung back into life in recent days and their juveniles in particular. The selection was well backed on debut, sent off at 3/1, but was far too green early doors and unsure as to what was required. He picked up when the race was all over, doing his best work at the finish, and it was noticeable he has a fine raking stride and fairly devoured the ground late on. If he can lie up early today, I think that stride will come into play up the aforementioned climb to the finish at Ayr. I'm not too keen on Straits Of Malacca after a weak finishing effort first time out, and Captain Midnight looks a difficult ride. Captain Gee, John Quinn's well bred newcomer, looks a danger but on measure the selection makes plenty of appeal at 6/1+.
Profit & loss: day: -10.00 / month: +8.14 / year: +128.35
