Currently still covering Mirror/Express Top spots, Double Top, Speed Plus & Split Second.
About 2 weeks ago Chris Forwood (Mirror) mentioned a system of backing a horse when it's 6 points clear of next horse in Mirror spotform rating figures. He also added only backing it when Newsboy & Bouverie select the horse. I ignore the latter.
When all things tie up (Double Spots match, Double Top selection, Top Speed figure) things don't work out much better.
The 2yo maiden races are often subject to a FTO winner or a change of favourite from forecast prices.
The addition of clear difference in ratings is a help though, in reducing the risk factor.
Today the following are clear on spot figure ratings and are Double Spot with Double Top and Top speed.
2.10 Muss: VIVA VERGLASS (2yo Mdn!!)
2.20 Yarm: ARBEEL (Maiden)
2.40 Muss: SCARGILL (seller)
3.00 Donc: MALACHIM MIST (Novice) ***
6.30 Nmkt: LAMAR (2yo Mdn!!)
8.05 Nmkt: HALLELUJAH (Conditions)
RESULTS.
4 winners with Arbeel & Hallelujah failing to win.
The banker Malachim Mist made hard work of it to win.
