One bet one win yesterday with Barwick winning nicely at Yarmouth at 7/4 which was again the shortest price that it had been all day. Due to this we are still showing a small deficit at sp (not at early prices)for the month to date but hopefully that will be rectified soon. Another rejected winner with Hab Reeh and Tabaret finished a very close second at 16/1.
4.45 Nottingham - Secret Quest 1 pt win
Ran an absolute stormer on debut at the track and the same again may well be good enough to improve past the favourite Stellar Express today who appears to be a little inconsistent. There are others in the race with a chance such as Balady so only a one point win at around 3/1 for me. If it wins watch out for Cuff Link in the 8.40 at Ripon as this horse was second to Secret Quest but does face a stiffer task.
8.30 Kempton - Gloriam 0.5 pt win
At first glance this race looks all about Curzon Line, Main Line and Obliereight who all did well at the track last time out. If you dig a little deeper a case can be made for Gloriam who trounced Safari Sunseeker at Wolverhampton last year and that horse is a decent yardstick - winning again recently. The problem is that this is very competitive and it has not run for 207 days so may well need the race. Rather than ew just a small win bet just in case - price currently is 20/1 plus.
9.10 Ripon - Orsippus 1 pt ew
Most of these have run over hurdles this winter so they should all like the two mile trip. Orsippus and Sohvahtoa have the best flat form and Orsippus came out on top when they met at York last month. He does not win as much as he should but at the current price of 9/2 is worth an ew bet as I really cannot see him being out of the three.
Rejected ones today are Galicia and The Lock Master who are both too short.
Good luck all
