Hello again,

I didn't bother updating the Blog yesterday as I only had bets on the blindingly obvious ABERGAVENNY and ELMAAM at short odds.

I have had five bets today which I will share with you. SANDOWN 6.00 Number 3 CHAIN OF EVENTS I staked 1.5% on this one for a Place to get 1st, 2nd 3rd, at 2.22 Place odds. I have also staked 2% on NEWCASTLE 6.55 number 1 DUBAI DYNAMO. This one is at shorter odds of 1.34 for the Place hence my slightly bigger stake.

I have backed two 'obvious' horses for a 1.5% Win Double and they are BRIGHTON 4.40 Number 1 DYSIOS and WETHERBY 5.40 Number 1 SOUNDS OF THUNDER at 1.21 and 1.4 respectively.

And I have two 'Dutching' bets where I have backed two horses in each race. They are FOLKESTONE 3.30 Number 1 MOUSIE and Number 4 MISS MUGA. I staked 1.5% on each of them. I will take a small loss on this one if the favourite wins at 1.8 and I am hoping for the second favourite to win at 3.3 odds for the profit on the bet.

Similarly in the 6.30 at SANDOWN this evening I have backed Number 1 BANNOCK and Number 3 MAGIC CITY, 1.5% on each of them again and I am hoping that BANNOCK wins at the 4.1 odds I got for a nice profit. If MAGIC CITY wins then there's no harm done as I got a shade odds against at 2.18.

My total investment today is 10.93% so I really hope I make an overall profit and not a big loss!

Some good racing to enjoy today, particularly at Sandown this evening. I was going to back Sir Michael Stoute's horse WORKFORCE in the 7.40 race and then I saw that the stats and Pricewise are against him. I do take a lot of notice of 'Pricewise' in the RacingPost so I'll just sit that one out.

Drat - rain lashing down and only two buds left in the fridge. Looks like I'll have to get wet.
