Running profit for May 27 points - profit for April was 22.5 points.
I missed a lot of good racing on Saturday and caught up with the videos yesterday but I can't be the only one that thought there were just too many meetings. Why they put all of those on one day I will never know.
On a house keeping note we had a loser and a non runner on Friday and so a drop half a point in the profit total from Thursday.
On to today:-
4.15 Kempton - OCEAN LEGEND 0.5 pts ew
This is really competitive and a strong pace is guaranteed with April Fool likely to go off fast. Esprit de Midas,Cape Rock and Ducal all featured in a thriller here in April and they are hard to split. The one that stands out at the current prices (18/1 on here) is course specialist Ocean Legend. In truth he may be a little high in the wieghts but the good apprentice takes 7lbs off today so he is worth a small bet. He wasn't given a hard time when behind Ducal here and is the value at the price.
4.45 Kempton - LADY MANGO 1 pt win
The Harris yard is in great form and the horses she beat at Lingfield last time have both run well next time out. The booking of Darren Egan means she runs off 58 which is a pound lower despite winning. I would have gone two points but the draw is a negative so still a bet but a more cautious approach. I expect 9/2
to be available.
