Tuesday 13-8-13

Morning, Yesterday, 5 horses, 1 5/1 winner. That's a profit, not a big one, but a profit none the less. I have a few today, a few will certainly appeal to each way players, I think they have a chance, I've backed them and hope for a good run. I have a clear NAP + NB today so hopefully they won't make me look a plank.

CARLISLE

245 CHINA EXCELS
Sue Smith isn't really a name regularly attached to flat racing, in fact this one possibly is her only winner (certainly in the last 5 years).Given a pretty hard hit by the handicapper after that win and has now dropped backed into basement grade, worth a play.

515 AILSA CRAIG (NB)
For the excellent Ontoawinner.com syndicate, @tweetstershorse would be a hugely popular winner. Trainer Edwin Tuer has his yard in good order at the moment in my opinion and loves it at this track. The horse hasn't won for a couple of years now but is a mighty 11lb lower for it.

NOTTINGHAM

605 DIAMOND VINE

This horse has the potential to pop up, now and then. He has won off marks of 71, 65 and 60 and currently sits at 55. Worth keeping onside on decent ground here.

805 MISS BLINK

Eyecatcher last time when struggled for room coming home well, worth a follow with another ease in weight. Jockey Gary Mahon landed an apprentice race some 10 or so days ago so has the winning feeling.

STRATFORD

620 EPEE CELESTE

This horse has tumbled in the weights. She has the ability, she just doesn't seem to be getting home. She has a massive weight pull with one of the favourites here and on that looks a squeak of value.

720 BRASS MONKEY

Won here 3 starts ago for Charlie Longsdon, interesting new yard are persevering at this longer trip. Could make the frame.

WORCESTER

330 HARANGUE

After showing promise last summer, running to RPRs in the hundreds and forcing the official hcap to 99, he hasn't gone on at all. Trainer seems to have bought him here for a change of scenery perhaps. If they can invoke a bit of last years efforts then he is well in. It'll be interesting to see if any cash comes.

400 SANGFROID (NAP)

Tim Vaughan is flying at the moment. This horse hasn't scored since 2009, but is some 18lb lower than when beginning winter campaign last October, useful conditional takes off a further 3. He was well backed on reappearance so obviously has shown some readiness and any money again today would be another big positive.

505 CARHUE PRINCESS

Back to mark of decent 2nd at Uttoxeter in April. I just think she's a big price more than anything. She's on my follow list so must have shown me something once upon a time.

That's all folks.

Good Luck and Happy Punting
