Wednesday finished with three winners and two each ways returning dividends out of eight selections. The ROI on the day came to 100%. That brings this week to 7 winners from 19 selections, a 37% strike rate and around a 55% ROI.
I'd also like to say thanks for the messages and comments. It is appreciated.

I might have mentioned this before, but when a day unfolds they way it did yesterday, I feel like a football manager who feels that he has gotten the game plan wrong.
Yesterday, I felt like a premier league team visiting a lower league team, the simplest of game plans dissolving.
By the end of the day, I had no clear indication on where the overall read went wrong on the day. Last evening, the conclusion is that Southwell had the same effect on my approach of cross-form as heavy can have.
I dubbed one selection as the worst for 2013 so far; Lady Lyrath in the 1:40.
I went into it aware that it was an amateur race. Based on previous runs, I felt the horse would take lead to instructions and help Evanna McCutcheon through the race. It was also available at 7/1 and the market...
Friday ended the week on a good note with both 'weak faves' landed and a 50% strike rate on backs. 23 bets were placed last week with half returning dividends and a quarter winning.
Presently, 'weak faves' is on a streak of seven and turned around from a rough start to the week including a drifter on Tuesday (Projectisle out to 6/1 / 4F in the market).
On the weekend, I met with my 'technical' wizard who is taking my 'dashboard' to the next stage. It comes down to taking how I read form and we're developing ways to speed up analysis without compromising how one approaches the cards.
Good luck with your week.

Yesterday, the reads at Catterick proved a disappointment. Mixed Message needed the whole race to win, taking a different line to the finish and suprising several in-running players (the results say it hit 100, the bulk more up to around 60). George Rooke won the race but I felt was under pressure in the end but managed to finish a length ahead of the field.
The selections to back made up for the 0 for 4 performance on Monday. I read over my selections and can see quickly where I compromised. I took Mabaany EW but it hadn't raced over soft before. I had focused too hard on times and ratings I had over firm and good, both over shorter distances. So the step up in distance coupled with the soft going should have been enough to put a line through the horse rather than put a bet on....
