Running Profit for May 25 points - profit for April was 22.5 pt all at starting price.

The win for Liliargh yesterday demonstrates the difficulty of showing profits at starting price as the sp was 6/4 yet 9/4 was freely available pre race bearing in mind I posted at 9.30am. It doesn't sound much but that would have been another 1.5 points !

3.45 Nottingham Al Jabreigh 1 pt win

William Haggas has his horses in terrfic form and this filly runs as if the extra furlong will suit. Tne run behind The Giving Tree at this course was full of promise and, via a form line through that horse, it should beat Shannon Spree. The Cumani horses tend to need a run so 7/2 Al Jabreigh seems ok.

5.15 Nottingham Raffinn 1 pt win

Another trainer in form is Sylvester Kirk and I think Raffinn will be good enough to win this following his good effort on the all weather last time. Bapak Pintar is the danger but this one never seems to get it's head in front and was disappointing last time. Unfortunately this horse has been put up by Hugh Taylor today which is frustrating as the price has gone to 4/1 but I will still stick with it rather than not put it up at all but reduce the bet to one point rather than the two I had originally decided upon.

6.30 Kempton Rebecca Romero 1 pt win

This is a wide open sprint but I will take a chance on the fitness of this one after a 217 day break as the trainer has had a few winners after bringing them back this year. It showed ability last year to beat Estonia who is talented but quirky and is well drawn tonight. The price is currently a tempting 12/1 so I will play it win only in case it needs the run and drops away.

That's all for today


Good luck  - any comments welcome
