In the 7.00 at Beverley tonight Sharakti seems to be well fancied trading around the 4.7 mark, however if you look further down the market to a horse by the name of Saint Thomas then we fin a horse who has finished in front of Sharakti in three of their last four meetings and has a pull in the weights with that rival as well. The is in better form than then it must be said but the discrepancy in odds gives me reason to think that Saint Thomas is a horse who may well give us a trade this evening.
In his last fourteen races Saint Thomas has been available to trade on all fourteen occasions, add that to his record of 2 wins from four course visits and the appeal of as trade looks even more appetising. Lee Topliss takes off a useful 5lb to boot. Both his wins have been on tonight's good to firm. Normally ridden from a prominent position I think he should still be in contention at the business end of the race and see his price drop suitably enough to give us a trade.
Backed at 9.8 for two points means that I need a lay off price in running of 5.9 to 3.05 points for an all green screen to the vale of 1.3 points or a lay off price of 6.4 for an all green screen to the value of 1 full point.
