Yesterday was ok! The first horse lost when it looked to be cruising, found little off the bridle, the 2nd horse won easily enough! Could of been worse.. Todays selections contains one of Betcirca’s favourite horses at the moment, so we’re hopeful of another profitable day.
Elusive Hawk – 3:00 Southwell – NAP –
Boo. This race isnt priced up yet. Don’t blame the odds compliers for not getting a market up yet, no one wants to take the plunge with this race. This is essentially a matchbet between Elusive Hawk and Hamoody. Now, Hamoody carries less weight, which is a plus for the horse, but it’s only 5f win as a decent class 1 win at Goodwood, SEVEN years ago. Since then it’s on the slippery slope down the hierchary of horse racing. Elusive Hawk is a multiple C&D winner, and although up 7lbs for its last win, the amatuer jockey takes off a valuable albs. I doubt he’ll win as easily as the 4l victory last time, but he has a superb chance of making it 4 from 5 here today.
Stentorian – 16:35 Southwell – NB – 11/10 Paddy Power
I don’t purposely tip up short priced horses, seriously. I only tip them up when i feel they are actually a decent price for the level of race they compete in, if that makes sense. 11/10 on this horse could look VERY good seconds after the race when it scoots in. This horse has only run 2 miles once, finishing 2nd in a Taunton handicap hurdle last year (by a head). Since then he’s been campaigned on the all weather, where his form reads 11221. He’s up 3lbs today after last weeks 9 length demolition job at Southwell. The owners of this horse are turning it out quickly before its 6lb rise in the weights takes affect, and with Ryan Moore booked, we expect a big run.
