Hi all,
Frustrated! Is the word that comes to mind after Ripon yesterday. With Hesslewood being caught in the final strides and the well backed Roman Dynasty suffering the fate of all good each way bets and finishing 4th.
I’m off tomorrow so let’s hope today’s sees a return to winning ways.
Newton Abbot
7:00 – Tom George has a good record with his runners at Newton Abbot 6-20 +24.00 in the past 5-years and I like his Blue And Yellow here. A good ground winner over hurdles.The 7-year-old looks to be slowly getting his act together over fences. Runner-up at Southwell 28-days ago, he looks on a winnable mark.
1pt win – Blue And Yellow – 5/1 @ Bet365
Kempton
3:15 – True Belief is 2lb lower than when beaten a head over C&D in February. Ran better than his 8th of 12 at Lingfield suggests last time, didn’t get any sort of run in the straight. Granted he’s not the easiest to catch right. As a hold up horse he needs a strong pace to chase and must be produced for a late run. When all the cards fall right, he will land one of these Class 6 handicaps.
1pt win – True Belief – 7/1 @ William Hill
3:45 – Delilah Park is real Kempton specialist, apart from an uncharacteristic lackluster run two starts back her record over C&D stands at 4 wins from 7 runs +43 6 placed. Has a 7lb rise in the weights to deal with after a comfortable win here two weeks ago which makes life tougher but she’s in form and it’s hard to see her being out of the frame if in the same mood as last time.
1pt each way – Delilah Park – 13/2 @ Bet365
Cheers
John
