Friday 27th March

2009 Challenge Fund (£14115 - £400 in play accounted)
Current stake - £120

Ascot tempting enough today, though actual bets are thin on the ground.

I'll start off with a get rich quick treble – Divine Gift (French Saulaie and Muhtenbahr opposable); Akarshan (a lot to do on ratings, but heavily backed by shrewd stable last time); and Hobbs Hill (one last chance for one of my favourite horses of last year).

I'll also cover a Henderson four timer just in case, and build a placepot around Briery Fox. Then I'll start frittering!


Football.
Southend tonight – apparently lacking their strike-force, but my season ticket mole thinks they've got a really good shape right now, and Hartlepool are gash. The striker worries probably holding the win price up. I'll chance it £120 at 4/5



Weekend Draws
Peterborough/Leicester
Yeovil/Swindon
Grimsby/Aldershot
3 x £45 draws and £15 treble




Barking Bets (Banked £1375/Current fund £2430 – 1 bet in play unaccounted)
Current stake - £240.

No obvious bet today.

    Southwell 2.00

    Shortlisted: Ballycroy Boy, Gracie's Gift, Kingsmaite, Hamaasy

    With an interrupted run last time
    out, Ballycroy Boy is the obvious choice, however I’ve decided from now on to mercilessly oppose favourites and hold up horses at this grade.

    Whom with? Last time out winner Gracie's Gift and the standing dish at this venue Hamaasy

    Gracie's Gift and Hamaasy @ 4/1 or better

    Southwell 2.35

    Shortlisted: Mujma, Little Eden, Decider, Handsinthemist

    Trinculo will blast out of the gates and play “catch me if you can”, leaving last time out winner Mujma with fond memories of coasting down hill in the final furlong at Lingfield.

    Argentine, Decider and Spirit of Coniston form a tandem from their last race. Of the three, Decider is better suited to today’s conditions.

    I am going to take a chance on Little Eden. The “stranger” in the field is an unknown quantity given a 329 day course absence however; his trainer doesn’t tilt at windmills when sending out runners at Southwell.

    Little Eden @ 4/1 or better
