Stuck on two here, the two Easterby brothers runners both ran cracking races LTO in Soft Ground and both carry less weight decisions decisions Forecast maybe
Regal acclaim for me in the next tim easterby has been in great form 13/8 and goes on soft leaves me to invest my hard earned
Maybe not small stakes RF. Time to study for my Lucky 15 tonight, laters guys, well done to those with winners today.
After losing on Head Space still can't believe it (just my luck) I have studied tonights cards and the only one horse I am interested in is TARLA who is currently even money. Not going to bother backing her unless she takes a late drfit . The days of just looking at a race and backing a horse are gone for me now - only backing in a race I have studied. I did study Tarla's race and see her as the easy winner
Imaginationrunwild (7pm) is the one i'm most interested in though and have gone in on that one each way as well.
As Stick is not available I will do a little Windsor formscan for the evening to see if we can better the £7 deficit from my 7 £1 bets at Ayr this afternoon. I think there's a chance I'll improve on that Will peruse the Windsor card now and look to find a placepot: 6.10 HENRY CANDY had Dinkum Diamond looking back near his best when an unlucky 5th at the Sandown Eclipse meeting and I think his improvement may be indicative of an improvement in the yards form. With that in mind, Dream Catcher is an interesting little selection at around the 11/2 mark. Silenzio looks nicely set with WTD's 5lb claim and actually has a good record on soft ground turf events. He can be the 2nd placepot pick in a tricky opener. 6.40 Hannon has two runners tonight in the Windsor maiden and it is interesting that the Hughes mount isn't a major gamble today- usually when they are really smart they go close to odds on. That to me suggests there may not be a great deal between THE ART OF RACING and DOMINATE. The latter is 10/1 and had a dam who was a very good juvenile in her first couple of starts, so I think tonight may be one of those evenings where Hughesy picks a wrong-un. That said though, they will have to be smart to beat King Dragon, who made a really nice debut, ran behind Dawn Approach when midfield at Ascot since, and sets a good solid standard. 7.10: Fourth of June has been underestimated- won on soft on handicap debut, and his sire Amadeus Wolf had a fabulous little record on testing ground. I'd say he will be hard to peg back if given a ride from the front. It's too tricky a handicap to have one selection therefore the second vote goes to Sir Mike, a Haafhd colt who ought to relish the ground and will stay better than all, having ran well over 10f LTO. They ought to have e/w claims if they avoid being outpaced early. 7.40: I think the Cecil favourite might struggle on a soft surface and I really like the look of a Dylan Thomas colt from the Hills yard in Divea on debut. Prominent in the betting here and its not a maiden that will take a massive amount of winning. Sir Michael Stoutes horses always continue to keep gradually improving in their early career and I should think Proximity will be there in the mix having handled this course and soft ground so well LTO. 8.10: Macdillon jumps out at me today as interesting. Should be cherry-ripe now after 3 races this season and is reacquainted with Liam Keniry, who has a decent rapport with him. Is very nicely handicapped now and in a small field should have the chance to avoid being outpaced with no trailblazers able to get away on this ground. Stays 6f so a stiff 5 here looks ideal. 8.40: If we are fortunate to get to this stage still in with a shout, Larkrise Star has shown potential for soft ground and indeed is the Hugh Taylor selection today. Songburst is Kieran O'Neil's only ride of the evening and he has bounced back from dismal showings NTO before. He is a pound lower than his last win on the AW (good form) and if handling the ground, I think he is overlooked at each-way prices. 16 lines at 0.50 =£8 stake.
Selections for tonights meetings at Windsor and Ripon as follows: Windsor 6.10 Interakt 7/2 extra furlong today and ground will suit. Bold Ring 20/1 EW down to a lovely mark has form on Good to Soft over 7f in similar compnay good enough to run into a place at her best. 6.40 King Dragon 9/4 is entered into some pretty decent contests over the next few months, after a shot at the Coventry Stakes, he drops back to a level that saw him running on in a decent race in good company, conditions and distance should suit. At a bigger price Marvelino 25/1 (EW) drops back up to a distance that should suit and might be worth some EW money. 7.10 Viscount Vert 2/1 looked like a horse with plenty in hand when winning LTO with plenty in hand and the 6lb extra should not be too much of a burden for a horse that also won in Heavy conditions at Chepstow. At a bigger price Fourth Of June 12/1 (EW) looks to be closing in on a win sooner or later and after showing promise in his last two runs the step up to 8f tonight could be enough to see him run into a place. Ripon 7.50 Al Muheer 7/2 ran on well LTO in similar conditions the step up in distance and drop in grade should be enough to see him home, at a bigger price and one that should set a quick pace and in these conditions could be difficult to catch is Miami Gator 25/1 (EW)
Noticed there is a half decent card at Roscommon tonight, only one i fancy though runs in the 8.00 An Spailpin Fanach 9/2, only one run finished 6th after breaking poorly but showed enough to suggest that todays distance should be enough to see him get competitive with the hot priced favourite
