Our Boy Jack got a bit outpaced over the shorter trip yesterday but was finishing to good effect and I was happy with the performance unlike Trending who had beaten it's rivals before but is obviously not one to trust. The two I rejected won of course Danadana at 5/4 and Oratory at 5/1. When your luck is out that's just the kind of thing that happens.
Unappealing stuff today so just one bet :-
4.30 Yarmouth - BARWICK 3 pts win
This one picks itself really winning strongly over course and distance on it's first run this year beating previous winners and then doing exceptionally well from off the pace in the bog at Sandown. The problem is the price but it is 5/2 and that is just about acceptable as long as it doesn't get shorter. I am staking three points rather than two as it is the only bet of the day and a win will retrieve the month's losses so far.
My rejects are Silver Lace (5.35 Yarmouth) who runs is a handicap for the first time but I was very disappointed how it fold tamely when I backed it last time. One day Tabaret (3.45 Redcar) will come in at a big price but probably not today as this looks a bit stiff. I have backed Hab Reeh (5.20 Redcar) at Southwell the last two times but this is an amateur riders race so will decline today.
Back tomorrow
