Ozone Layer

This is the first of a series of daily blogs to record my selections and thoughts on the days racing.

The objective is to achieve a profit at starting price each month. Stakes will range from 1 to 5 points.

Here goes for today :-

2.30 Lingfield Hinton Admiral 2pts win

Although it has it all to do with Hazzard County at the ratings the small field and possible lack of a true gallop may help Hayley Turner nick this race on a horse that has had a good season and performs well at the course. Hazzard county has dogged it on more than one occasion in the past.

4.00 Lingfield Six of Clubs 1pt ew

Guaranteed to stay unlike some of the others and is slightly overpriced at 13/2 on the exchanges at present. Celtic Charlie is probably the danger now the hood has been removed but he may struggle to last home.

4.30 Lingfield Chjimes 1 pt win

The favourite looks better at six furlongs rather than five and Chjimes does particularly well here and again represents value at around 6/1. Wouldn't back ew as may get run out of it.

6.30 Wolverhampton The Blue Dog 1pt ew

Good effort last time to beat the hot pot at Kempton and the money for Maid of Meft makes the market. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a non runner being from this yard but if it goes looks knocking ew bet at 9/2 or thereabouts.


7.00 Apothecary - no bet but looks far too short at 7/4 andI wil lay at this price.
