6.00 Bath Sakheessquirrell 3pts each-way @ 4/1 (VC Bet, guaranteed, 7/2 generally guaranteed)
This is a really poor contest but Dave Evans' juveniles remain in fine form and the selection, despite being by a sire who isn't exactly top of my list as a stallion to follow, has improved with each run and may have bumped into a half decent two year old last time out. He has plenty of speed and looks very genuine in common with most of the yard's horses. Cathy Gannon replaces Saleem Golam which I think is a positive, and with the selection dropping back to the minimum and berthed in stall 1, I expect an aggressive ride from the front. I'm not a fan of Brunhilde or Captain Ryan, and if there is a threat it might be the Ron Harris' debutant. As it stands I'm happy to support the selection each-way, with a possible on course drift and most of our stake returned if he runs in the first three even at 7/2.

Afternoon bets:
Just the one for this afternoon, there's a chance of an evening bet, details either way before 5.30pm.
4.30 Hamilton Star Request 5pts win @ 5/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
This is a poor older horses maiden but Star Request has enough experience at sprint distances to win for her in form trainer, with Joe Fanning a notable jockey booking. The selection is a sister to Cara's Request, who is useful over seven furlongs but didn't race until her three year old season, winning on her third start. Star Request shows up for her third start as a three year old today, and the evidence of her last run suggests the step back in trip to six furlongs will be in her favour. She was very keen last time out for most of the early stages, and her exertions told late on as she was eased. She was not disgraced despite finishing last of twelve, and the way in which she travelled suggested her future may lie over sprint distances. She won't mind any rain, in common with her sister, and with the opposition not amounting to much she looks a fair bet at 5/1.
Profit & loss: day: -11.00 / month: +6.64 / year: 126.85
