Hi all,
I’m off to Pontefract this afternoon and I have a couple of fancies at the West Yorkshire track.
Pontefract
4:50 – I went for Soul Seeker in the jump jockeys Nunthorpe at York last time. He finished down the down field that day but wasn’t well drawn so I can forgive him that run. Not particularly well drawn here either in stall 8 but he won over C&D last April and followed up with two wins in July. Not been at that level of form so far this season and the tongue tie is replaced by the first time cheekpieces. He’s too well handicapped to ignore being 10lb below his last winning mark.
1pt win – Soul Seeker – 5/1 – Gen
5:20 – The Michael Dods yard hit form last week and I like one of his two runners in this 6f handicap. Clarets Glory won over C&D last September and his three best RPR’s have been achieved here. He was back to form last time when a 1 ¾ length 2nd of 5 to one of today’s rivals Commandment over C&D. Gets 3lb from that one here which strictly shouldn’t be enough to reverse placings but given the trainers form he’s got a chance of doing so.
1pt win – Clarets Glory – 9/1 @ Bet365 or 8/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes
Cheers
John
