Friday 30th May 2014

Off The Pulse won well yesterday and May looks like being our best ever month.

Two for today.

3.40 Newmarket Hillbilly Boy 5pts win @ 11/4 (Generally guaranteed) - WON

Hillbilly Boy probably wasn't given a great ride last time at Ascot. He probably ended up in front too soon and on the wrong part of the track, and I think he is good value here at 11/4 off just 1lb higher than for that run. He should be fine in this rain softened ground, and I think Newmarket will suit him. Andrea Atzeni knows him well and retains the ride. He looks the most progressive horse in the field and can land this prize on his way to bigger engagements in the coming weeks.

4.25 Newcastle Dalmarella Dancer 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 12/1 (Totesport, Betfred, Bet Victor, Stan James, Betpack.com, guaranteed)

A big, strapping looking filly who should continue to progress having won impressively at Southwell on her penultimate start. Her breeding suggests she has as good a chance as anything else in here of handling the soft ground, and I think the stiff finish will suit. This looks a decent piece of placement and anything in double figures looks too big. She disappointed at Newmarket last time out but may not have handled the track in my opinion.


Profit & loss: day: +7.75 / month: +228.80 / year: +315.40
