Average enough stuff today, and I'm really looking forward to next week at this point. We're in good form going into Glorious Goodwood and having a strong handle on the current form always helps.
One selection at Musselburgh.
3.30 Musselburgh Geanie Mac 5pts win @ 7/1 (Bet 365, Skybet, Bet Victor, Racebets, independents, guaranteed)
Another for the Linda Perratt / P.J. McDonald combination, which served us well yesterday. Perratt's yard are clearly in good form, and although Geanie Mac is 1/31 on all career starts, her attitude isn't too bad and she is quite consistent on good to firm ground. I don't think she is a strong stayer, so by rights an easy track should suit her well and it was only late on at Hamilton and Ayr that she gave best on her last two starts - both those tracks have notoriously stiff finishes. Her recent run behind Gold Chain looks solid enough with the winner finishing second in a hurdle race since, and although she had it run to suit it does illustrate how she likes a race to pan out for her. Hunting Ground looks almost certain to make the running here, and I would think Valantino Oyster and Vittachi could go on too, which will suit Geanie Mac well. Her jockey has been in the form of his life and he seems to be in that zone where his decision making with regard to where to put a horse seems to be spot on more often than not. This is a fairly simple hold up ride - the pace should be there and his horse has good tactical speed to take him close to the front. After that, the rest is down to the mare. She was unlucky not to beat Vittachi under this rider last year over course and distance when she was in front too soon (beaten a nose, 1lb worse off) but I think she's in better form now and can reverse with that rival (the ground is quicker today too which will suit her). All in all, I think anything around 13/2+ looks too big and should be taken.
Profit & loss: day: -5.00 / month: +64.95 / year: +361.25
