4/5 for the Write Ups yesterday or 5/5 if you waited and got the best price on the last one(I did say a drift was likely). Predicting the odds 8 hrs in advance is never simple!! Whatever you did though a tidy profit awaited.
4.30 Ayr Ponte Acclaim steps up to Listed Class today and could well be up to at least getting us a trade this afternoon. The filly found 6 furlongs too far on her penultimate start and a return to the minimum distance saw her regain the winning thread in comfortable fashion in a Class 3 race on going similar to today's good/soft. Seven career races to date where she has been available to trade at least to half her BFSP on all seven occasions including when hampered near the start in the Super Sprint. Backed at 3.9 leaves us needing an in running lay off price of 2.34 for a 1.3 all green screen or lay off at 2.56 for a 1 pt all green. Currently 11/4 (3.75) at the bookies so its possible that better than 3.9 may become available.
3.35 Lingfield Imaginary Diva is a mare in cracking form at the moment, winning nicely last time out at Yarmouth, up 6lb for that which takes her to highest mark for two years, in form at that time she was placed and traded from similar marks. She has a good draw, ground is fine and ridden just off the pace should see her there or thereabouts at the furlong marker for her price to drop sufficiently to get us all green. Backed at 7.2 leaves us needing 4.3 lay off for a 1.3 all green or lay off at 4.7 for a 1 pt all green.
5.30 Newbury Colonial won nicely last time out and seems to be coming to hand, he performed well in a strong Group race at Meydan in January so we know he can do it at this level. He has traded to odds on in his last three races and should be good enough to at least put a challenge in today at the business end of the race enabling us to green up. Backed at 3.3 needing to lay off at evens for almost at 1.3 all green or lay off at 2.18 for a 1 pt all green.
5.05 Still deliberating over Mowhawk Ridge at 10.5.
Well done getting that price Oily Wragg, it sometimes does pay to wait.
