Tuesday 31 July - £500 Challenge

My new golf strategy hardly started in a blaze of glory. I'll keep drowning though. This week's brick is in the Russian Open (I'll consider Woods tomorrow). A hopeless event. Jan Derksen is the one who interests me. He has won in the past - which is more than most of these, and has been finishing in the ruck more often than not this year in much better events. I'll be backing ew at 33/1, and dumping the win element.

The favourites are from strong. A race to throw some darts - no idea on what though - Tregoning's French import? Fahey's at the bottom? Dansili dancer likes the course?

Goodwood 2:50
Sometimes you do a tissue and exactly matches the morning line. You feel good about it, then realise it leaves you without a bet, at least at early odds.

Goodwood 3:25
I've got Royal Oath at 4/1. A mistake but worth pursuing. Asset may well be feeling his races. Also there looks to be a fierce pace here, and closers should prevail, as long as they get a run. He's the £500 challenge horse for today. I'll major on the places to cover the bad luck that dogs closers on the track.

Goodwood 4:35
Samurai Way looks a solid fave here. Cumani loves the race and he looks the only improver.
3/1 is perfectly fair.


£500 Challenge
Royal Oath £9 place at 6/4 or better
Royal Oath £4 win at 6/1 or better

Running Total
