Doncaster 3:15
Honolulu 5/2
Lucarno 9/2
Macarthur 6/1
Mahler 10/1
Raincoat 10/1
Regal Flush 10/1
Veracity 10/1
I now have a free bet on Lucarno at 16s so that would do. I have a strong feeling that Gosden thinks Raincoat has a better chance though. Also not sure why Veracity is so weak. I think both have place chances and that may be the way to go.
Doncaster 3:50
Wake Up Maggie 2/1
Arabian Gleam 2/1
Duff 4/1
Duff did me a favour last time. He got the fractions spot on that day on a track to suit. Doncaster hardly the place to repeat it, and Pricewise probably ruined any price to compensate for the doubts despite me still having him as 'value'.
Goodwood 4:05
Galeota 7/2
Aeroplane 7/2
Shmookh 7/2
Pivotal Point 7/1
Wouldn't take much for me to want to get involved in backing Shmookh.
I'll also try and bust my way out of trouble with a treble from my 'virtual stable' which admittedly has had a bad virus all year! Raincoat, Duff and Shmookh.
Football
Everton and Portsmouth are typically underestimated against the big guns lunchtime – I'll get with both at better than 11/10 +0.5 on the Asians.
And Cardiff remained overhyped. Which leads us to Holloway's well-organised Plymouth at 13/10 or better.
nice job with Lucarno. As you mentioned in a previous post wins like this one tend to put things onto an even keel..
ReplyDeleteThanks Toad. yes - I felt a lot better Saturday night (long way back yet though.)
ReplyDeleteApart from Lucarno the big moment was when I last minute changed sides from a strong Duff to a weak Arabian Gleam, who then beat the former in a driving finish. Luck helps a lot in this game!
That and my new approach of concentrating on uncompetitve races (of the like I used to avoid), I hope gets me back in the game.
thinking of adopting the same approach (focus on uncompetitive races) for the national hunt season (novice chases/hurdles) so will pick your brains closer to the time..
