4.10 Chepstow Concrete Mac 5pts win @ 8/1 (Betfred, 15/2 Paddy Power, 7/1 generally guaranteed)
Concrete Mac was a bigger price this morning, but I think anything 7/1 or better still represents decent value and I have a feeling he might drift back out on course. The selection represents Hughie Morrison, whose horses are running well, and whose 3yos boast a 17% strike rate at this track. The selection was probably unlucky not to win here on his second start at 50/1, when he was badly impeded by a rival hanging right across the track. Concrete Mac eventually finished second. He has a poor run at Salisbury last time out to overcome but his previous run at Bath was full of promise, and that race has worked out very well. The inexperienced apprentice who rides him has been replaced by Pat Dobbs today, and a slight easing of his handicap mark gets him in to 0-70 company. He is drawn well to take a prominent sit behind the leaders and make a challenge late. His experience of this specialist track will stand him in good stead and the step up to seven furlongs looks almost certain to suit this son of Mastercraftsman.
Profit & loss: day: -5.00 / month: -30.40 / year: +293.50
