Today's Selections

I have to apologise for the terrible run of form recently, for one reason or another my mind hasn't really been on the game and my profit has been affected as a result. Despite that, I settled down last night with a stiff drink and my laptop and set about looking through today's cards in the hope of finding some decent betting prospects. After a few hours of deliberation I did just that and with two of today's bets also featuring on my horses to follow list I am confident of a really good day.


12:40 Sandown - Another Sensation (10/3) - 3pt win - Now this is a horse which I've heard some very positive reports about and there is no doubt that the form of some of his runs in France looks promising in the context of today's race. I'm always a bit suspect of backing these particular connections as you never really know what kind of horse will show up on the day but Jonjo has been in stunning form recently and this may well be the time to catch his horse's. The nature of the course should be in the horse's favour as he likes to race prominently or lead and his pedigree and past performances suggest that the ground will not be an issue. With plenty in his favour and with the other horse's at the head of the market carrying penalties, I think this horse may have been found a perfect opportunity to make a winning start.

1:10 Sandown - Sustainability (10/3) - 3pt win - A very interesting race and it was difficult for me to choose between this horse and Tanks For Coming but in the end I decided to side with the horse who I believe is best suited by today's conditions and that is definitely Sustainability. The horse's record on soft ground is very good and although he was only rated at 116 over hurdles, he has always been a horse who would improve significantly once sent chasing and I think he may just have enough to see off the likes of the Henderson and Vaughan horses who may struggle for varying reasons today.

1:45 Sandown - UP and Go (7/2) - 3pt win -  This horse is no 1 on my horses to follow list this season and quite simply, in my opinion, he will not be beaten today. If my recent form had been better then this would have been a max bet but I will wait until I have a few winners before placing any more double stake bets. (horse to follow)
