Wednesday the 13th of February...

Nice winner with Patriotic on Monday, even though the rule 4 deduction was quite hefty. Anyway, it's another winner, the 25th since starting all new here five month ago and I think it's working out pretty well so far. The profit speak volumes. Now, I hope it can continue like that but I'm confident, there is another big chance waiting tomorrow...


14.00 Lingfield: Close Together @ 5/2 Bet365 - 6pts win

Thought this horse had a horrible run here at Lingfield lto but finished in a manner that suggests there is much more to come and that her opening mark is well below her true merit. Ten days ago in that Lingfield race she made her Handicap debut after being off the track since October after winning a maiden at this track. She travelled well enough until the eventual winner Precision Strike made a big move and kicked on from 3f out. In this crucial stage she was simply locked on the inside, with horses in front of her and no chance to get out there, until approaching the home straight when a gap opened. She looked a bit tricky to keep straight at that stage then, wandering slightly around, eventually responding well to the pressure and finishing strongly inside the final furlong. For now the 10f trip looks fine, I think with time she'll prove even better over a bit further though. But this is a very poor race here tomorrow and she'll take plenty of beating.

  2. Steve, Bet365.com is the bookie where I got the price from. 6pts means how confident I feel about the selection. It's a points based staking plan varying from 1 to max. 10 points per selection. Means if 1pt/unit would be equal to €10 then I'd advise to back the horse with €60 as it's a 6pts selection.
