29/2

Slight profit on Mias Boy yesterday at Lingfield.Dhhamaan won for a break even .The top 4 in the betting at Betfair were not the same as those I gave -why? Well Stoneacre Sarah was 12/1 in the betting forecast punted into 7/2 - you guessed it -a 16/1 system bet and won well. Beauchamp oracle placed for each way backers. Familiar territory placed - Curlin was never going to mess that up!
Break even on Cocoa BEach winning and Third Set won for Frankie at Nad al Sheeba.Nice win on Paca D'oudairies at Taunton taking te early prices on BEtfair as I did ensured I got a good price relative to the price the horse went off at.
3 into 1's began well wit Blaeberry and Farmers Lad winning. Abbey Days was positioned price wise to win te hunter hase but unseated his rider as happens over jumps and especiall when you don't have a professional on board
Getafe won well -3-1 at home and the 11/10 looked decent in this Spanish Cup game. Well, watching the Arsenal ladies reminded me of better times at 10am on a Sunday with 10 hungover team mates trying to et it together to play 11 a side - not the best quality football I've ever witnessed and definitely not , in the future, a betting medium at all!

DONCASTER

BETTING FORECAST: 6/4 Overbranch, 2/1 Aimigayle, 6/1 Laureldean Melody, 14/1 Cute N You Know It, Hapeney, Mistress To No One, 20/1 Calow Green, 25/1 Red Letter Girl, 33/1 Roll Of Drums .
SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Overbranch is a progressive sort who should go well, despite the double penalty. However she may be more effective with more give underfoot and is taken on with AIMIGAYLE, who turned in her best effort over hurdles last time. Although down in trip, this galloping course should suit.[RY]
Chance of an each way bet here on Laureldean Melody given Spotlight's comment about the double penalty on the fav which may push the horse out of the win only reckoning?

DUNDALK
The Irish flat season kicks off today
Some maybe bets but I am blinded without the betting markets especially as some horses are returning after a break

WOLVES
325
BETTING FORECAST: 5/2 Josh You Are, 5/1 Bugsy´s Boy, 6/1 Salut Saint Cloud, 13/2 Easibet Dot Net, 7/1 Kanisorn, 10/1 Sovietta, 14/1 Phone Call, Rainbow Dash, 20/1 Arabian Sun, Market Watcher, 25/1 Indian Star, 33/1 Riff Raff, 50/1 Allez Melina .
SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: A few with chances but JOSH YOU ARE and Kirsty Milczarek gelled well at Lingfield earlier this week and, off the same mark, will surely make a bold bid to follow up. Easibet Dot Net, who found trouble in a slowly run affair here last time, could prove most troublesome
Perhaps Josh you are is layable in this race. What Spotlight didn't tell us was the race he won was an apprentice riders handicap against Little Wing who was ridden very naively.

This is a lay to back at a higher price in running

A quiet nday for me on the horses

3 INTO 1
Should have been 3 from 4 yesterday, but another unseated rider.
415 DONCASTER - RANDWICK ROAR
650 KEMPTON - HOLLOW JO
920 KEMPTON - BEN BACCHUS
250 WOLVES - ONE NIGHT IN PARIS

RAndwick Roar is under a penalty, Ben Bacchus is in a race described by Spotlight as only for the needy and greedy. One night in Paris is ,yes, a multiple handicap winner appearing again under a penalty. Oh ye racing Gods-why do you mock me so?


FOOTBALL
Nantes can continue their impressive run of late at home this evening although 2/7 is not giving much away - half ime fulltim Nantes/Nantes ; Nantes/Draw may enhance returns although I am wary that their good run will end soon
