I've had a few requests from readers asking if I could give a few examples of how I bet on my selections so today we will be starting with a 500pt betting bank. I will keep a record of the bets/stakes for the next 7 days and we will see where we end up.
Starting Bank = 500 pts
1:15 Sandown = RAFEEJ (1/1) - 20 points staked - This bet carries my maximum confidence which would usually be 4% of my betting balance, although stakes would increase in accordance with the price. The reason for my confidence behind the horse is pretty obvious, he is proven on heavy ground, clearly has plenty of room to progress having be awarded a mark of 87 and hails from a yard which is still bang in form. Although he will want a bit further in time, up against this kind of opposition his class should shine through.
2:35 Perth = NODEBATABOUTIT (9/2) - 10 points staked - This horse is a progressive chaser who I have backed on both of his last two runs, he loves a bit of cut in the ground and looks like a nice little prospect. The step up in trip shouldn't be a problem and he has had a break to freshen him up so should be primed for a good run today.
2:45 Doncaster = VIZEAN - 2 point win at 17.00 and 3 point place at 4.4 - I received a call about this horse last night and a much better run is apparently expected today. The horse has shortened significantly in the market since I posted last night though (8.6 on betfair) and I'm not sure I would want to get involved at that kind of price.
2:55 Sandown = OOJAABA (3/1) = 10 point win - This horse is very highly thought of and is expected to really come into her own this season, she will have no problem with the ground and the step up in trip will really suit. Strong word received.
3:20 Doncaster = POWERFUL WIN - 2 point win at 9/1 and 3 point place at 11/4 - This horse is a system qualifier, he is a sole front runner in a small field and with a claimer on board he may just have be able to make all.
4:55 Punchestown = LUCKY WILLIAM (6/1) = 10 point win - Received some info for this horse when it was due to run earlier in the week and on the basis of the key trends for this race I think this horse has a massive chance of beating those horses at the head of the market.
5:50 Chepstow = DINARIUS (5/2) = 10 Point win - This horse with plenty in hand last time out over course and distance and has clearly benefit from a change of scenery. He has been raised 13lb as a result of that win but the second placed horse did win next time out so he could still be well in if that win wasn't just a one off. He handles the ground, loves the venue and I'm sure the trainer hasn't made the long trip from cornwall for nothing. (NON RUNNER)
7:25 Plumpton - BLUE HILLS (2/1) = 10 point win - This horse is seeking a hatrick today and connections are confident that he will complete the 3 timer. (NON RUNNER)
Due to the late withdrawals of Blue Hills and Dinarius a further 8 points has been placed on Degiout in the 6:05 at Punchestown at 11/2. This horse is an info horse from the same source who gave me the impressive winner Lucky William earlier on the card and he looks to have a great chance provided that the race is run at an even gallop and I'm hoping Benefficient will see that it is. I have also put 2pts on a reverse forecast with LYREEN LEGEND .
Total points staked = 70
Bank = 430 points
poor showing in the 1st. i thought rafeej was a stick on. onwards and upwards
