I'm looking to get a trade in the very first race today at Salisbury, the rain has changed the going drastically and is riding at good to soft at the moment. Available at 8/1 (9.0) at both VC and SJ, I took some 9.8 about Milnagavie leaving an in running trade off of around the 5.9 mark for a profit of 1.3 points or 6.4 for a one point profit, all green. One race where he did achieve a place was on softened going at Chepstow showing that it shouldnt bother him today racing on this surface. He was placed over the course last time out and coming back in distance I think thet Richard Hughes will have him there or thereabouts at the two furlong pole enabling his price to drop enough to give us a trade this afternoon.
I was on Solemn in the 2.30 at 8.4 but the ground looks worse than I thought and even though he has form on heavyish ground I traded out at 6.8 for a smaller profit, common sense.
