Hi all,
A good ride from Richard Kingscote produced a win by Regal Reality in the Sovereign Stakes at Salisbury and Hello Youmzain finished runner-up Prix Maurice De Gheest at Deauville. All in another challenging weekend but no real damage done to the betting bank.
It looks a quiet one on the selections front this week. I’m not expecting more than one or two bets each day until Saturday and some days there probably won’t be any.
Racing returns to Chester for the first time this season today and there are a couple of interesting races on an eight-race card.
Chester
5:30 – True Blue Moon comes into the race in good form having finished 3rd of 12 at York 15-days ago.That was just his fourth start since joining Tim Easterby and looks on a competitive mark for a yard among the winners. Stall 5 could be a lot worse and if the 5-year-old handles Chester’s twists and turns can get into the money.
1pt win – True Blue Moon – 5/1 @ Bet365
6:30 – Major Jumbo was second in this race in 2018 went one better last year and looks to have a good chance of back to back wins. Stall six could be better but if he breaks well, it shouldn’t prove too much of an inconvenience. Hopefully the forecast rain arrives as he’s probably at his best with a bit of ease in the ground.
1pt win – Major Jumbo – 11/4 @ Coral & Ladbrokes
Cheers
John
