Wednesdays Back to Lays

Two meetings to peruse , a definite marathon reading of form.

3:40 Lingfield Can see Ten Down leading this field but is 2lb wrong with Fromsong on 19th Dec running so will have to dismiss him here. Ediths Boy likes to lead also, but suffered a strange ride last time if all goes to plan can see Ediths Boy leading with Fromsong and Master Lightfoot tracking in behind. Think i may double trade Ediths Boy and Master Lightfoot
Will have a look in the morning as to what the prices throw up.

4:10 Lingfield Two horses in this race that depending on how they are ridden give an indication to their prospects. Don Pele and Sherjawy when given a chance to lead usually run good races. I think looking at the set up of the race and not knowing what they will do with Don Pele i will opt for the back to lay of Sherjawy.

4:30 Kempton Cragganmore Creek selected here as one of the only lead up horses in a race packed full of hold up horses. After coming back to form last time in this class would like to think he will run a strong race but will be susceptible to them all at the end.

5:00 Kempton Foxtrot Bravo with Probert on is the selection in this race . Another one that they seem to switch tactics with but hopefully he will go from the front today and stay there.

6:00 Kempton Brouhaha and Dens Gift are selected here hopefully Bouhaha to lead with Dens Gift tracking but both have been looking as if their time is nigh. Probably a double trade but will check the prices in the morning.

7:30 Kempton Amy Baker has been knocking on the door with Cavalry Guard the last few runs , apart from when tried over a mile last time back down to 7f and likely to be up with the pace will take this one for a two point trade.

8:00 Kempton  Luke Morris' only ride on this horse showed some improved form when it was 3rd over this course and distance 2 runs ago its a hold up horse but does travel strongly and at the likely long odds Metropolitan Chief could give us a chance for a good trade.

12:55 Punchestown Chasing Cars one from the Sportline race that i have mentioned before was 3rd that day albeit 11l down , fell at the first next time but likes to be up with the pace. Will check price tomorrow here as may represent an opportunity if the right price.

Update pre racing, Gluck
