SHAPESHIFTER

I sat on Wednesday watching Lingfield unfold and like the previous day, the selections felt like they were 'lifeless'. As each race finished, I did a post-mortem, looking at the winners and the times, and kept looking at the results and my selections and everything just clouded over. Yes, Safwaan was at the bottom of the ratings for the field but I felt the value was there. But it ran outclassed and as though horse and jockey were going through the motions. Musselburgh comes down to what I thought were value selections, something that has kept my account under control despite the strike-rate being down. Instead of watching the last two at Lingfield, I put on the hard disc and chilled. The streak of poor results came down to me and nothing else. So time to reboot and 'reconnect'...
