Just a couple of e/w flutters today at small stakes that caught my eye.

- George Margasson seemed to think that Lady Kaviar (33/1) could do better on his ATR stable tour and at those prices you don't have to stake much. She's in the decent looking Kempton maiden (hence the price) at 6:40.

Ger Lyons has a few of his string improve for second run and Noble Intention (16/1) had a bit of a rough introduction last time out and might show up a bit better today with less interference. That's in Gowrans opening maiden.

The listed event at Gowran at 7:00 also catches my eye with two Charles O'Brien runners entered in the shape of Santa Monica (12/1) and Uninhibited (16/1). Both seem to finish their races well and Santa Monica came home like a train LTO to finish a neck behind a future Group 3 winner BEST IN THE WORLD. You would hope at least one of them makes this a right old test and in a big field for this event it might all fall into place for one of them, so two e/w singles and am RFC for me.

Little e/w singles and trixies.
 
Salisbury
220 Akhaaq (price had gone on sticks tip)
350 Sharja Queen
420 Master Gunner

Beverley
200 Rag Latter
330 Age of Elegance
430 Space Mountain

3 singles 3 doubles and a treble at each meeting

Anybody watching ATR with "ask the handicapper"? Thinks the "dodgy" treble last week in Ireland is bad for racing! Personally (even not being on it) I think its good for racing lets punters see occasionally the bookie gets stung! Braggin about putting up a Sir Mark P horse 15lbs last week or so, well done sir people have been asking for this for years or enjoying repeated winnings whilst you catch up!

Chaps, I had a bit of a shocking few days last week so not been on much.

First of all my wife has had to bring a discrimination case against her employer, that same day she was involved in a car crash when some one drove into the back of her on the motorway and then the following night I was woken at 2.30 am by the sound of a brick being thrown through my window in the front room. As I got downstairs I was saw two men, one in the house and one trying to steal my car. Luckily when i ran outside sporting a pair of pants only intended for personal viewing, they both ran off. They took a laptop, iPad and cash but didn't get the car.

The police were more bothered about some oak barrels i had in the back garden so i'm not holding out much hope of getting it all back. The CSI fingerprint guy that came round the next morning told me he'd been to 4 houses that morning in the West Yorks area and it looks like they'd been stealing cars to order. What a bunch of scum bags.

Anyway, after a stress relieving treble at the weekend that returned a big fat zip i'm back to the well to see if i can catch a Michael Bell horse on hurdles debut.

Taper Tantrum runs in the 2.10 and is priced at a general 7/2 this morning. For a horse rated in the low 80's on the flat i think they've found a reasonably weak contest and i'm reasonably hopeful on a decent run.

As an aside in the 7s Japan are a huge price at 11/8 with Ladbrokes to beat Kenya. Japan beat NZ and should have drawn with GB.... those results both on merit and fully deserved. Kenya were comfortably beaten by both GB and NZ so really cant understand the price at all.

Boom easy money that. A rare occasion where a market is priced completely wrong!

Punt landed today and reinvesting in the shape of
BECK AND CALL 11/8 Salisbury 2.20
Yard looking to win this for the third year in a row and this filly looked smart on debut.

Her trainer Henry Candy is just finding form. He has several interesting runners tomorrow.

Well she wasn't quite good enough to win today and in hindsight her pedigree screams that she wants further. She will pay her way.
Maybe some of you took note of my footnote however. Mr Candy had two winners on the card at 11/2 and 4/1 and still has some more to come this evening.

Well done Bob and Don, forum banging in the winners!

Sorry to hear that Bob. I can't imagine how stressful it must have been but there's more good days than bad ones. Keep your chin up.

Salisbury looks a nice card to focus on. Takatul in the 3.20 looks a cert in my book. He was as green as cabbage when winning off 78 on his handicap debut. He is only up three pounds for this. He is not much of a price so I'll be doubling him with the Candy horse in the first.

I don't often bet on amateur races but Richard Hughes sends Wahaab as his only runner and the claimer on board has a reasonable record with him.

In the Listed race I'll take a chance with Chain of Daisies. She is the only horse to have won at this grade. She was fourth in this last year but that was a tougher renewal with Journey winning it. She has to give weight to the three year olds.

Two winners. Happy with that. Should have stayed well clear of the apprentices race though.

We'll have a go at a few at Gowran.

Pronounced 6.00 Wasn't far behind Sir Dreamalot at Galway and is three pounds better off.

Time for Mabel 6.30 Has ben in decent form over hurdles and has some useful form on the flat.

Assume 7.00 Her second behind Creggs Pipes at Killarney looks to be pretty solid form.

Rahyah 7.30 Most of these loo to be harshly handicapped yet this one could be chucked in off a mark of 70.
