24 AUGUST 2007

Only 2 placed horses yesterday, although, on reflection, I was correct to highlight the each way races as they were, on the whole, won by the outsiders .
On the one a day/progressive/price gap bets Dark Angel obliged despite 19 opponent and the place bet placed!

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: It's difficult to be confident about Dresden Doll after her Lingfield flop so preference is for MIDNIGHT OASIS, who looks sure to improve for her recent debut.[AM] Interesting Spotlight comment about Dresden Doll -4 horses priced at 8/1 - I'll take 2 of them in Tense and Second opinion 655 BATH BETTING FORECAST: 7/4 Alleviate, 2/1 Esclarmonde, 8/1 Sowdrey, 12/1 Daylami Dreams, 14/1 Bathwick Breeze, Rainbow Flame, 16/1 Hatton Flight, Kyllachy Storm, 25/1 Everyman, 33/1 Ron In Ernest, The betting forecast indicates a 2 horse race on paper, although I will chance Daylami Dreams - 4th fav could place if one of the market leaders misfires 1250 NEWBURY BETTING FORECAST: 11/4 Morestead, 4/1 We´Re Delighted, 5/1 Oxbridge, 6/1 Summer Winds, 8/1 Hit The Roof, 14/1 Marchpane, Reel Star, 16/1 In A Pickle, Tobago Bay, 25/1 Ballochroy, Distant Diamond, Lady Jinks, 33/1 Copperwood, Little Toto, 50/1 River N´ Blues. many debutants in this field and it'll be 3rd and 5th favs fr me each way in Oxbridge and Hit the roof 150 NEWBURY BETTING FORECAST: 3/1 Magic Mountain, 100/30 Birkside, 4/1 Lindy Lou, Tufton, 8/1 Anatolian Prince, 10/1 Up In Arms, 25/1 Law Of The Land, 33/1 Hard As Iron.

Mollyatti and Beetuna are just before the 16/1's so are positioned to hint they may place WIN ONLY AND PLACE BETS 655 BATH BETTING FORECAST: 7/4 Alleviate, 2/1 Esclarmonde, 8/1 Sowdrey, 12/1 Daylami Dreams, 14/1 Bathwick Breeze, Rainbow Flame, 16/1 Hatton Flight, Kyllachy Storm, 25/1 Everyman, 33/1 Ron In Ernest , SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: ALLEVIATE (nap), impressive when scoring at Sandown last time, can complete her hat-trick at the chief expense of Esclarmonde.[AM] Big price gap - Alleviate to place here, because of the proximity of Esclarmonde 555 BATH BETTING FORECAST: 11/4 Dresden Doll, 8/1 Midnight Oasis, Second Opinion, Silca Destination, Tense, 12/1 Betty Burke, 14/1 Libertytyne, Rathmolyon, Showtime Ice, 16/1 Autumn Star, Rhode Island Red, Safari Time, 20/1 Little Evie, 25/1 Culzean Bay, 33/1 Ballyhealy Lady, 50/1 April Reigns . SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: It's difficult to be confident about Dresden Doll after her Lingfield flop so preference is for MIDNIGHT OASIS, who looks sure to improve for her recent debut.[AM] Worth just making a note of this one - the price gap is there but Spotlight is hardly jumping through hoops to back it! 130 THIRSK BETTING FORECAST: 6/4 Call For Liberty, 5/1 Le Toreador, 6/1 Visconti, 8/1 Glittering Prize, 10/1 Highland Love, Smarterthanuthink, 14/1 American Welcome, 20/1 Fyodorovich, Harlequinn Danseur, 33/1 Just Sam, Strictly Elsie, Trojan Hero, 66/1 Dolly No Hair . SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: CALL FOR LIBERTY looked a useful prospect when second at Haydock last time and, with the rail to run against, he could prove very difficult to pass if re-employing the forcing tactics.[PSm] Good price gap - the hint from spotlight of bold run - only concern is it's a maiden race The racing just isn't there today and trying to manufacture opportunities is pointless. Call for liberty I would be happier having as a place only bet, but let's see how the horse runs
