1 march

Laureldean Melody a very frustrating 4th for each way backers. Josh you are came 3rd which was very welcome for a horse backed off the boards who I decided to oppose. Hope you notices the wrong bet in the Nantes game - Nantes /Draw should have read Draw/Nantes - I personally included the draw/draw break even and managed to break even - there was just that niggle that winning sequences do come to an end
3 into 1's are improving slowly - Randwick Roar at a good9/4 and Ben BAcchus 11/10 - incidentally 2 of the systems used created 7 winners between then yesterday - as I said "ye horse racing gods, why do you mock me so!"

I predict the cards today will be rather uninspiring with Cheltenham on the horizon

DONCASTER
ANother busy Saturday wen the obvious tend to slip up

300
BETTING FORECAST: 13/8 Schinken Otto, 9/4 Ela Re, 5/2 Salhood, 12/1 Chaninbar, 14/1 Polished .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: This weak handicap can go to SCHINKEN OTTO, who has been in good form on the AW since last seen chasing. Ela Re can follow him home.[AC]

A 3 horse race as far as the prices are concerned. backing all 3 for , for example, £10 level stakes ,gives a £3 return on each.With the opponents to Scinken otto so close in price, perhaps backing Ela re and Salhood to the exclusion of the market leader ( effectively laying the market leaders) can boost returns?
KEMPTON
BETTING FORECAST: 8/11 Working Title, 7/2 I Have Dreamed, 8/1 Outaouais, 10/1 Into The Wild, Noticeable, 20/1 Danger Zone, 25/1 Haddaaf, 33/1 Atomic Winner, 66/1 My Beautaful .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: This looks to be between the Cheltenham entries Working Title and I HAVE DREAMED, and there is a danger of Gary Moore's charge being underestimated following his defeat last time in a race that was not run to suit him

A good opportunity to back Working Title and I have dreamed to level stakes leaving a nice profit on I have dreamed and slight loss on fav. you can dutch both to equal profit if you want but I prefer this type of bet

NAVAN
530
BETTING FORECAST: 8/11 Time Electric, 5/1 Limestone Cowboy, 7/1 Judge Roy Bean, 8/1 Forty Foot, 10/1 Picture This, The Thirsty Bricky, 12/1 Flora May, Nor People, 16/1 Matter Of Interest, 20/1 Albert Accord, Give Us A Hand, Iwilltellyouwhen, 25/1 Beneficial Banks, 50/1 Gothenberg Double, 66/1 Spinning Breeze .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: TIME ELECTRIC delivered on a strong home-reputation when winning in commanding fashion on his debut at Leopardstown and is bound to be a warm order in view of his position in the ante-post market for Cheltenham up to the point of the announcement that he is to be aimed at Punchestown instead. The manner in which he took control of the race suggests he could be a very good horse, and the strong visual impression more than outweighs the fact that the form has not been franked.

Price gap evident - i AM TAKEN BY THE spOTLIGHT COMMENTARY , but AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S A BIG FIELD AND A BUMPER TO BOOT (sorry caps lock locked!)
I will chance Time Electric to fulfil reputation and monitor th back bet in running

NEWBURY
135
BETTING FORECAST: 1/2 Cryptic, 11/4 Aux Le Bahnn, 12/1 Pharanto, 20/1 Rebel Rock, 25/1 Geneva Bay, 28/1 Posh Dude, 33/1 R´Cam .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Hard to see beyond CRYPTIC despite the big penalty, as this looks an easier assignment than when a clearcut winner in quite a well-contested race at Wincanton last time. Aux le Bahnn is easily the biggest danger.

Aux le Bahnn is an obvious each way bet

3 into 1 SYSTEM
Some semblance of a return yesterday
340 KELSO - Magic Sky
325 KEMPTON - Stellenbosch
400 KEMPTON - Classic fiddle
135 NEWBURY - Cryptic
750 WOLVES - Ninth House

FOOTY
First game of interest is the Hibs v Celtic game - Celtic bounced back after a poor away performance against St mirren. This is a MUST WIN game for Celtic and with that in mind Celtic are worth backing at 4/6 to trade if they score first.
This is going to be a tough one for Celtic but is worth an interest despite the market saying this is no gimme
Hibs have done the double at their ground and perhaps a neutral bet of over 2.5 goals to trade may also be worth an interest as there is certainly goals and a probalbe scoreline of 2-1 (but to who?) is probably likely

Schalke v Bayern at the top of the Bundesliga, and if in running I will be entertaining an under 2.5 goal trade for the first 20 minutes or so of the match

Arsenal at home look layable to these eyes at 8/15 against a Villa side on a roll. Still struck down with a variety of injuries the 8/15 quote tells us like the Celtic game) this is likely to be decided by the single goal . Perhaps this could be an angle in to the winning margin 0 and 1 goal dutch ( if that market is available)

I will lay Brum today at home. Spurs are on a high and will look for revenge after going down at home to Brum last time. Again, Brum really have proved dogged at home but may not win , and could draw.

Fulham lost to the Arse 3-0 on their manor - can we expect the same today with an equivalent team in Man Utd?
Another venture into half time\Full tim Man Utd/Man Utd ; Draw/Man Utd can help enhance the match odds 1.38. You may want to include draw/draw given Fulham NEED to win.
Brian MCBRide is back in the Fulham team and 7.6 is a speculative price for him to score.
Again we can back Rooney and Ronny to score at 2.08 and 2.22 to level stakes - break even if one scores , happy days if they both score.

Newcastle at 6/4 are once again layable in the match odds market - the key here is to hope Blackburn score so that 6/4 will rise sharply. Could be another poor day for the Messiah!
Again monitor in running to trade off

Rangers v Aberdeen - while Rangers are in the mood, a speculative punt on over 3.5 goals will retain an interest and allow flexibility in trading should Rangers score 2 early

Real MAdrid in turmoil - on a bit of a losing run in all competitiions and losing at home to Getafe will not do. Worthy of interest at 4/5 away to Recreativo to break this losing sequence. Over 2.5 goals , judging by past expereince, could be a good tradeable bet

FAr too many football bets today that I will prune as the day progresses.
