Running profit for May 22 points - profit for April was 22.5 points

No need to worry about calculating profits at sp after yesterday's results but thanks for the Betfair sp idea and this is something I will look at next month. Rebecca Romero went off at 6/1 yesterday but was 12/1 on here at the off which is a huge disparity or maybe it was just not fully wound up - who knows.

Fortunately I am still keeping stakes low but now that the ground is better I expect to be more confident of the form to be able to justify a bigger bet - not today though. We seem to have stuck at around 20 points this month and it would be nice to move forward.

A couple of races interest me today at Southwell:-


3.20 Southwell SECRET DESTINATION 0.5 pts each way

Was nibbled at in the market last time here over five furlongs against a Johnston hotpot and showed up well - the third has run well since at York. The ability to handle the track is essential here and the step up to six may help. Polski Max has yet to run here and is worth taking on at the price and I am happy to have a small bet here at the price (approx 7/1)

4.50 Southwell ALPHA TAURI 1 pt win - BOLD MARC 1pt win

Just can't make my mind up between Alpha Tauri and Bold Marc but it is not just a two horse race and a few others will have their supporters and help make the market. Alpha Tauri ran a really fast time last time but is up a furlong and that is the worry. Bold Marc can be forgiven his run on turf and was good the time before at this track.


OTHER THOUGHTS :-

4.30 Lingfield

I wanted to back Sweet Ovation but would prefer Hayley Turner on board so decided against it. ARABIAN FLIGHT may be an in running play and if it hits 50/1 will throw a couple of quid at it as it gets outpaced and finishes well.

5.20 Southwell

HAB REEH goes off really fast and races over six for the first time. It is possible he lasts to well inside the final furlong today and should trade considerably shorter than the 16/1 he is now.


That's all for today


Good luck  - please feel free to give feedback - positive or otherwise !
