    Some won't like backing each way at 9/2 but I'm on Brunswick Gold in the grade 3 chase at Market Rasen. Not confident like today, yesterday and earlier in the week but it's worth a little bet. Local Hero has a chance at 10/1 on the same card for the same trainer.

    CITRUS MARK 11-1 Market Rasen 2.45 has perfect conditions tomorrow and is expected to give a very good account. His last two runs have been over too far and he now drops back to 2m 2f and has been eased a handy few pounds. He goes well on top of the ground and therefore should have no excuses.

    Lost Legend still looks attractively weighted in the 3.45 and a double with Forresters Folly in the 4.15 is what I will play

    Morning all bob nothing wrong with the ew if you get your money back and brunswick is now 5s in places not took a proper look at that race yet though so good luck .
    Stick are you on the nose with citrus mark as I had a quick look at this race yesterday and was sort of siding with tomotara.
    330 looks intresting at ayr amazing blue sky 11/8 could take this from the start but at them odds its hard to back with st Ignatius running well of late at arround 3s I may go for the r/f as I cant really see past these two .
    Good luck all

    I am on him EW cracker though I do think he will win its quite a competitive little race. The bottom one, GAINSBOROUGH'S ART even has a chance on his best form and he is 66-1.

    Never bet e/w at under 8/1 in my life, and only twice under double figures, Gathering Power in a big field sprint this season, and the Amanda Perrett filly a while ago who was unplaced and turned out to be a massive disappointment, cant remember its name.

    In other news, worst Sunday racing ive ever seen in my life.

    Tony Martin's booking of Barry Geraghty for Pires in the 2.35 at Limerick catches the eye <whistle>

    That's interesting. I know some rather large punters who back each way at 9/4 and 5/2 if the circumstance is right.

    Nine times out of Ten i'll back ew no matter what the price is. The way i look at it is, i'd rather have something back even if its not a profit than nothing back at all. But saying that most horses i do back are EW shots anyway, i wouldn't usually back an horse under 5/2 or 11/4 them sort of prices any shorter and its not worth it with the sort of money i play with (very little!!)

    Woeful racing today, Undoubtedly the best horse on show is over in France. Intello the co Arc favorite in the 2:40 at Maisons-Laffitte. Quite strange to see him running under a mile and is a pretty short price. no idea about the merits of the opposition either.

    Re the ew subject. I look upon it the same way as backing a horse to win. So for 1 point ew I just divide the odds by 8 (if 1/4 odds a place) and that's the odds I consider. ie 8/1 shot is equivalent to a 1/2 winner for the same stake, with an added bonus if it wins. So basically, at 8/1 it would have to be a "cert" for a place. At 4/1 I would need to be confident that it would win, with the consolation of not losing anything if it only ran into a place. Whatever anyone else does, I don't personally see any value in backing ew at lesser odds. But each to their own, as they say.

    My best value today runs in 5 minutes. See you later folks.
