8/10

I thought Arsenal had covered the Asians within the first 10 minutes but then they capitulated – I wish the Asians for this match were in running .Chelsea garnered a typical 1-0 victory covering the asian.

Choclolate Thornton booted Mister Right home in a tight finish.
Kelso was abandoned. Rio de la Plata won convincingly. Authorized was nowhere to be seen in the Arc- a disappointment for all. I thought Conference Call had given us a good winner at 5/1 but the horse was swamped at the line

We face another Monday with limited opportunities and poor racing

440 PONTEFRACT

BETTING FORECAST: 2/1 Me Fein, 7/1 Dance Sauvage, 10/1 Mister Fizzbomb, Star Of Angels, 12/1 Fantasy Ride, Hermanita, 14/1 Compton Dragon, Fenners, Mabel, 16/1 El Alamein, Intavac Boy, Paparaazi, 20/1 Dreams Jewel, Hugs Destiny, Monarch Pass, Young Scotton, 100/1 Vehari.

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: A race that revolves round ME FEIN who was value for considerably more than his winning margin in a Lingfield classified on his return upped to this trip in August and could be a cut above this opposition as well. Another 3yo Hermanita looks most interesting of the remainder, many of whom are thoroughly exposed, not in the best of form or hard to win with.[AC]

POSITIVES – “could be a cup above this opposition”.Jamie Spencer on board and he’s still looking for winners.Early prices – 7/4 - - - 7/1 looks significant

NEGATIVES – class 6 low grade affair with 17 runners.

CONCLUSION – I remember Ma Fein before and backed him last time when he won most convincingly. We will be getting odds against. The hope is that Spencer is hungry for a win and can influence proceedings positively. I only hope he doesn’t employ usual hold up tactics in such a big field.

Just the one today –there are some others but they just don’t quite meet the prfile I’m looking for.

TWIN CYCLES

Went south yesterday in the arc .520 Wolves – we currently have 2 6/4 shots who fit nicely with twin progressive cycles. The price gap to the next horse at 7/1 is significant. Although I would prefer these horses to make up 100% of the book (6/4 is 40% so they only make up 80%) , we have high hopes of capturing the winner.

A very quiet day today with a poor selection of races
