Thursday 29th August 2013

Another good day yesterday with First In Command obliging at 14/1. She Can Jig got a strange ride and might be one for another day.

Just one for Thursday.

5.10 Lingfield Proper Charlie 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 13/2 (Bet 365,Totesport, Betfred, William Hill, independents, guaranteed)

Proper Charlie has plenty of speed in his pedigree on the dam's side and he is of interest today with a good draw in stall 10 given the Lingfield high draw bias. The selection has his third start for Lee Carter today and gets a visor reapplied to sharpen him up. He showed enough toe to acquit himself well over six furlongs, the only distance he has won over, on his penultimate run which was after a break, and he travelled very well over a mile last time before fading from a draw that put him at a disadvantage (also on this track). He is worth a punt dropped to the minimum trip and ought to be fit enough to run his race. He is 0-15 on turf but his new trainer is building a reputation for success with switchers and from a handicap mark of OR45 the selection is treated well enough to pick up a race like this. A lot will depend on the start: expect him to trade very short and probably win if he bags the stands rail.


Profit & loss: day: -1.40 / month: +117.60 / year: +250.79
