Today' Selections

Very good day for the blog yesterday as we returned 41.80pts profit. Some great racing on today but that makes it difficult to find a winner and for that reason I have deliberately stayed away from some of the big races today.

Starting Bank - 552.83

2:15 Newmarket - FARHAAN (7/1) - 2pt win - No e/w value in this race so going for the win, this horse has been the subject of some very positive reports and with Nobel Mission giving him 5lb I think this horse is over priced.

2:30 Newbury - NAABEGHA (14/1) - 1.5pts e/w - Horse hasn't always looked that straight forward since moving to England but having watched his races he has looked like a big win is waiting just around the corner. He is a proven front runner which will be a massive advantage today especially as he stays further than 6f and can look to make this a real test. He loves a bit of cut in the ground and has the very talented James Doyle in the saddle.

3:10 Bangor - GOLDEN CALL (EVENS) - 15pt win - This horse has been extremely progressive over hurdles this season and has thought to be a smart staying chaser in the making. The drop back in trip is slight concern but in my opinion Macguire is one of the best jockeys in the business from the front and I expect him to go for home very early on this one. Biggest danger in my opinion will be LAVA LAMP and I may have a RF with that horse as well just in case.

3:45 Bangor - CHICAGO ALLEY (12/1) - 1pt e/w - Now it's not very often that I back an 11 year old in a race like this but I'm sure this horse has another win in him and if he does then today will be the day as this course has always been one which has brought out in the best of him. The trainer/owner is a very shrewd operator and having purchased this horse out of another yard a few months ago he is yet to have a pay day and I have a feeling that will all change today in what is a very weak looking race.


Hill's Information.

7:15 Doncaster - SIR PEDRO (3/1) - 5pt win - This horse is thought to be a very nice little prospect and connection are very hopeful that he will make a winning debut today, plenty in the yard have had a punt and although there are a few dangers in the field they think this horse is forward enough to do himself justice.

The rest of the Hill's runners BALTY BOYS, QUANAAS and RANSOM NOTE are all thought to have e/w shouts but Balty is becoming seriously frustrating and the antics by Quanaas before his last race would give me serious reservations about backing him this time out although he is highly thought of and will be winning races this season. RANSOM NOTE is available at ridiculous place prices on the exchanges and this one could be worth a few quid as connections haven't booked fallon for nothing and dont plan on just making up the numbers but they all believe that Frankel will storm this one.

That's it for the time being but there is still and info horse coming up later on, just waiting for the call about the conditions and then I will post it up.
