Great call on the first selection Stick .. nice little return and also looking to land the e/w double with the next selection DAWN TWISTER ...

Thanks again !!!
 
Right had a few pence on Minella Definitely next at Donny, got 13/2 is now 4/1, so fingers crossed...
 
Just looking at the 3:05 at Lingfield, i like Hawkeyethenoo but the price doesn't really appeal, so instead i'm going to go each way on Brocklebank 33/1, has some good form at the course at worth a small bet. I'm not going to ignore a tip from Stick though with the form he's in so little ew on his selection Naabegha and rev f/c on the two
 
Cheers niksboy was just looking at form it was 3-5 at the course previously so appealed as an ew at the price and a slight drift before the off so I'm more than happy with a 50/1 place
 
I have a real quandary tomorrow as I really love Hawkeyethenoo and know that were tomorrows race on a straight course he would beat that field by 5 lengths and at a price of 3-1 am sorely tempted. Having watched him on the all weather recently I am convinced however that it does not suit him for a good reason. It's my feeling that he is a horse that needs to pick up to full flight rather than possessing an instant turn of foot and that the short straight encounters at Lingfield are simply not for him as the post comes half a furlong too soon for him. I feel connections have recognised that he is finishing late and stepped him up to 7f which may help but sadly it does not make the straight any longer.

I think I will back him as he is a class above those horses and hope that will compensate for the track not suiting but fear I may be throwing money away.

Spot on with your assessment Blue, he did exactly as you predicted <ok>


And good shout on Brocklebank Badger - same as a 100-8 winner if you remember those :D
 
Right im off now, so enjoy the rest of the day, whats left of it, and good luck if your playing on owt tonight...<cheers>


Well done to all the winners today, the forum has had another good day...<cracker> <applause>
 
Shamardyh in the next at Lingfield for me, still a maiden but been running well up to this level in defeat.
 
I know it's been mentioned by a couple of people already but I fancy the chances of Jimmy the Jetplane 16/1 in the 4:20 at Donny. But before that having another one ew in the next at Lingfield Blue Oyster 25/1
 
DAWN TWISTER second. Shame as that was several hundreds of pounds coming back for a meagre outlay if it won!

Unlucky Stick - I was in the same position .... but a tenner win on the first plus a 5ew double saw me well in beer profit - many thanks !!! Keep banging them in - loads of great stuff from the whole team here today ...
