Racing at a few places in the UK tomorrow with cards available to view on the Racing Post website amongst others.

My local track Windsor hosts its usual Monday night meeting and has a rare visitor in the form of David Barron. Only seven runners in the past five years and two of them won. He runs two in the 8:00 and the one I am keen on is COLONEL MAK 12-1. He is racing off a mark that he really should be competitive off and whilst he has never run at the track before the conditions should be just about perfect. He looks a real value EW punt to me!

But the highlight must be .............................

I gather there is also some odd racing (rumoured to be horses I believe) at Chepstow, Carlisle, Leicester, Windsor and Naas (Ireland). There is some more at Listowel (Ireland) but there could be a delay as there appears to be several obstacles in the way.
 
A first time out two year old that is worth keeping an eye on tomorrow is EFFUSIVE 6:45 Carlisle.

"she's nice. She's got speed, she's definitely a two year old and she's definitely nice. A filly with speed and strength".
 
I've had a look at Carlisle and Chepstow so far. Nothing at Carlisle jumps out but at Chepstow I love the pedigree of Strawberriesncream. By Teofilo out of a Green Desert mare. Slight worry about the mare's dam side (unknown) but might be worth a small dabble in a class 5 event. And in the first I like Gamesters Lad. Missed the break on début when 5th of 9 to Sarista who subsequently ran a good race to finish just 3¾L behind the very useful Patience Alexander in a Listed race. No prices on either but they won't be favourites that's for sure.
 
Pink Lips (17.30 Leicester ) and Strawberriesncream (15.40 Chepstow) looks a tasty double.
 
And finally, in the first at Windsor, Percy Alleline. Could probably do with further but if the price is right .................
 
A cracking days card at Naas tomorrow with Hannon sendin over Spirit Of Xian in the fillies sprint a race his father won a couple of years ago with Sky Latern. Altho she was dissapointin lto in a minor Newbury race, she was very impressive when winning her debut and if runs close to that she will be hard to beat and @ 10/3 is a huge price
 
Hadn't looked at Naas Wooly but yes, that does look a very interesting card. <cheers>

7.30 Montridge 4-1 without Music Master (betvictor)
This looks value in that Betvictor have the selection priced up at 9-2, yet only half a point less without the favourite. I think 6f may be a little sharp for Montridge but the soft ground will make it run like a 6 1/2 furlong race anyway which means he will not actually be too far out of his best distance which for me is 7f. He is the class horse in the race and with the favourite taken out for that half point represents great value at 4-1.
