Running profit for May 20 points - profit for April was 22.5 points

Sometimes you just have one of those days and yesterday was one of those. The Cheka would have won in another five yards, Tawaasul was aweful and Star Commander was always going to win after I rejected it in favour of Knightly Escapade (don't give up on this one). A loss of five points on the day - ouch. Perhaps I was a bit gung - ho and I am more cautious today as I don't want to lose more hard earned profit just to have a bet!

2.00 York - Izzi Top   1 pt win

I thought this one would be slightly shorter than the current 3/1 as it handles the ground , is fit and in form. The only time it has been beaten in the last four runs was at Epsom which is a track which some horses can't handle. She had in fact beaten the winner of that race previously. Beatrice Aurore may follow her home and might be ew value but I will just rely on Izzi Top.


3.35 York - Es Que Love  0.5pt win  - Caledonia Lady 0.5 pt win

Pearl Secret will go off odds on here and in truth was mightly impressive last time. This is tougher and Es Que Love won't hang around. I can see Jamie Spencer motionless in behind but let's take him on as Caledonia Lady was an eyecatcher last time and will be staying on at the end.

4.20 Salisbury Royal Reyah  1 pt win

A good return from a break last time over five furlongs but probably is better over six and a reproduction should be good enough here. I was going to go for three point win but the price of 2/1 is shorter than I wanted so will just have the one point and save ammuntion for tomorrow when there looks to be a couple of really good possibilities.
