Monday 5th May 2014

Second and fourth yesterday, and we made a nice small profit on the day.

2.40 Beverley

Lorimer's Lot 1pt each-way AND 1pt win @ 10/1 / 9/1 (Generally guaranteed)
Money Team 1pt each-way AND 1pt win @ 18/1 / 16/1 (Generally guaranteed) - WON

Again I'm not sure this sprint is priced up correctly and I've taken two interests in the race against the field. Lorimer's Lot looks fairly treated off only 3lb higher than her Ripon win and I expect her to go close here despite a difficult draw. She has a real fast ground action and I think there is a bit of progress in her yet from her current mark. Money Team makes his debut for David Barron and I always respect switchers to that stable. He came to hand early last season (no surprise given he was with Bill Turner) but went off the boil as the year went on. He was an interesting purchase for Barron's team and he has some good form on fast ground, which he travels well on. He has a slightly better draw and, although fitness is an issue, the stable had a winner yesterday and their string seem to be coming to hand after a slow start to the season. The price compensates for the chance we take on fitness and his handicap mark is fair.


Profit & loss: day: +33.00 / month: +195.60 / year: +282.85
