Hi all,
Welcome to a new month and if the weather forecasters are correct it’s going to be a stormy one.
A couple of nice winners last Sunday and hopefully some more this weekend. I have a couple running today at Salisbury that are of interest.
Salisbury
3:05 – Apart from a respectable seasonal return when 3rd of 8 at Newmarket. Ice Lord‘s recent from doesn’t have much to recommend it but the 8-year-old is now 12lb below his last winning mark which came in October 2018 and last season arguably his best run came 12 months ago when 2nd of 14 at Newbury. Both those runs came on soft/heavy ground and this previous C&D winner is too temptingly handicapped to ignore if bouncing back to form.
1pt each way – Ice Lord – 11/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes (both paying 4 places 1/5 odds).
4:15 – Vixen has yet to win on her eleven starts for Emma Lavelle but is another who’s dropped down to winnable handicap mark. The mare, a previous C&D winner (soft) previous three career wins all came when racing between 16 to 30-days since her last run and jockey Edward Greatrex is 3-7 +7.63 on the 6-year-old.
1pt each way – Vixen – 8/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes (both paying 4 places 1/5 odds).
I will be disappointed if one of them can’t get into the places today.
Good luck with your bets.
John
