bit later than usual today been out and about enjoying a 27 degree spring afternoon here in melbourne.
Just a quick note on yesterdays runner choisan who was a little unlucky not to finally get his head in front. Been running into decent sorts all year and did so again yesterday. Always annoying to get done by 20/1 debutants but hey the show must go on and got a couple to get stuck into today.
a couple of 4pts win bets at Hamiltonn on Personal Touch @ 2/1 in the first and Tadabeer @ 6/4. No need to discuss either in much depth as such obvious chances. The 5f trip for Personal touch at york was just too sharp the 6f stiff track at hamilton on soft ground will be ideal and put up a great effort first time out over course and distance. A reproduction of that will make him very hard to beat. Tadabeer ran into a well backed haggas horse last time, the front 3 drew 10 lengths clear and the form looks very solid.
All three maidens at kempton are of interest but only one looks worth a bet imo. Would be happy enough to take on Equity Card in the first but just cant pinpoint which i want to part with my money on. The 2nd just has too many unknowns altho i still might decide to play one at big price later.
The one i do want to be with in the 3rd is Dynamic Duo @ 9/2 and 5/6 for the usual 2pts win 8pts place. Been up with the pace in a couple of decent maidens this season on galloping tracks just hasnt quite got home. The low draw and this sharper track will definitely help him get home over the mile and hopefully not get too much pressure early.
Made a couple of points profit with yesterdays place but will update the running totals after todays efforts.
