In the 15.10 at Pontefract today we have a runner who's 9lb out of the weights which makes the selection by connections for this race an interesting one. This is the young Marco Botti trained gelding Haftohaf.
In my opinion this horse is seen to best effect when he's run from the front which they tried last time out but he's been running over 7f & further in all of his races to date. He was sent off favourite last time out and traded as low as 1.68 in running but tired in the final furlong & faded into 3rd. I think the step back in trip is exactly what this horse needs & today's 6f should be perfect for him. He's traded at 2.12 or below in every single race he's competed in to day & whilst this is a step up in grade I think the shorter distance is a compelling reason for him to show an improvement in form.
Haftohaf can be backed for 2 points at 15.0 at the books (boyles & Betfair Fixed Odds). you want 30% profit then lay off 2.6 points at 11, or if you want 50% profit then lay off 3.05 points at 9.6 to give you a 1 point profit in all outcomes.
Best of luck.
