Just one race of interest this afternoon. We may have an evening bet released before 5.30pm.
2.20 Haydock
Vasily 1.5pts each-way @ 28/1 (Bet 365, Stan James, Betpack.com, Coral, guaranteed)
Tepmokea 1.5pts each-way @ 33/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Not the greatest Saturday afternoon's action but this looks a really interesting handicap. There are a few in here I'd be inclined to oppose, among them Educate, Danchai, Gabrial The Great and Tahaamah who all looks a bit short. I'm inclined to take on the solid looking pair at the top of the market with two each-way punts at big prices. Sennockian Star looks solid, as does Chancery but as a Street Cry the latter will want rattling fast ground and I'm not sure if the rain Haydock had earlier in the week will have taken the "road" out of it.
Vasily is selected based on his run behind Sennockian Star last time out. He had plenty of use made of him and travelled best to the two pole, but was ultimately well beaten. A good 7lb claimer takes the ride this afternoon and if he is able to show a bit more restraint, I think there is every chance of him running into a place at least - he remains progressive and has been a model of consistency since he found his form this season.
Tepmokea is forgiven his poor run at Goodwood, and supported at a huge price at a track he likes. He went very close in the Old Newton Cup here and based on past evidence remains well handicapped off OR92. Ten furlongs might be sharp enough for him these days, and stall 15 isn't ideal, but these negatives are definitely factored into the price and with Richard Kingscote, who rides this track really well, in the plate, he looks very much overpriced.
Profit & loss: day: -6.00 / month: +70.24 / year: +203.44
