I thought todays cards were very uninspiring and considereing we are supposed to be in the middle of the flat turf season the fact that there is only one full turf meeting at Catterick is rather surprising to say the least....or maybe not when you consider the people who are organising the fixtures!!!
Anyway with all the rain around and the clerks of the courses seeming unable to give accurate going descriptions it is probably not a day for getting too heavily involved. I am having a small trade on Sea Salt in the 3.00 Catterick at the current odds of 14/1 and if the ground is riding on the soft side this will be more suited than many of its rivals. The draw in 12 would normally be a huge negative, particularly over the sprint distances at Catterick, but it can work the opposite way when the ground rides soft. The runners tend to head for the stands rail on such occasions and hence the 12 box would suddenly be a big advantage. Too speculative to go mad about and it would need to return to form after some below average performances but having changed stables to Ruth Barr (the grand-daughter of the legendary sprint trainer David Chapman) then it might rekindle some of its old appetite for the game.
There are a couple that are potentially interesting at Kempton this evening and if there is any action it will be on the phone message by 6pm.
Just a quick word on yesterday, the info was pretty much spot on with the first mention going off a heavily backed 9/4 favourite and running out a cosy winner and the second selection being heavily backed into 4/1 and trading much shorter in running before finishing second. Hopefully I can continue to find horses like this and I'll get some winners back on the main account before too long!
Good luck
