A Quiet Saturday

The first thing to say is that there's nothing strong enough for us to put up on the account. Four meetings and there are a number of interesting runners. We quite like the look of one at Goodwood from a form point of view, but the horse has run at the track three times without even being placed and that's enough to put us off. We spent a lot of time on the feature race at Thirsk. We don't think this race is as competitive as the numbers suggest, but even so we couldn't nail our mast to one runner. At Newmarket we concentrated on the opening race on the card but it just looks too competitive and we could argue a case for a number of the runners.

Finally we moved on to the evening race at Doncaster and the interesting race for us is the last on the card. Bearing in mind todays conditions we think one horse in here could be hugely over priced. We are not having a "proper" bet and on recent form no-one can fancy the horse in question, but if the last time out effort was simply a "blowing away the cobwebs" exercise and the trainer has got the horse back to anywhere near his best then the 40/1 with Bluesquare is miles too big. On old form, before an injury at Chester, Admiral would be a good thing in this race. As I've already said, you need to assume a lot if you want to give this one a chance, but this race doesn't look that great and we just thought we'd highlight one at a huge price that one or two of you might want to consider. I'm not one for worrying about the market too much, but with one of the owners of this horse known for liking to land a gamble every now and then I guess the market will be the best guide to this ones chances.

So despite some cracking cards and really good races it's a quiet day for us. No bet from us for the account but good luck if you do play.
