SHAPESHIFTER

Good afternoon.

I feel as though I am still washing away 2012.  Personally, I found it a year that was riddled with 'contradiction'.  I enjoyed the Olympics but it came at a time when both the UK and world economy was without any footing.  I likened it to throwing a party on the deck of the Titanic.

I spent the past week looking over the year to see if I had improved/grown as a punter.

Though a lot of the energy that goes in is to systematically filter events to find selections but I feel the key to finding a steady strike-rate and value is to focus hard on a 'mind set' that finds a balance between read, knowledge and intuition.  So improving those characteristics is the goal for the year ahead.

For now, it's a Monday and will find more time to write later in the week.

Best of luck with your year ahead.

STAND-OUT RECOMMENDATIONS TO BACK

Kempton
1:25 Bloodsweatandtears EW (result: 5th) -1.00
3:30 Moderator (7th of 8) -1.00
4:30 Lastkingofscotland (1st BFSP 2.66) +1.50


Tauntan
2:10 Orabora EW (3rd BFSP 5.80/1.69) -0.15
3:10 Tornado In Milan EW (2nd BFSP 5.66/2.33) +0.15
3:40 Benny's Mist (1st BFSP 2.36) +1.30

Wolverhampton
3:20 Koo And The Gang EW (6th) -1.00

SUMMARY A mix of results on the day.  All three horses returned dividends at Taunton with Benny's Mist winning by the biggest margin of the Monday meeting (22 lengths).  The only success on the all weather courses was the 'consistent' Lastkingofscotland.  A LSP risk of 7 points would have returned a loss of -0.20
