Calling all Shrewdies

Invictus Gold - 1.45 (E/W)

Got it all to do to beat this jolly but can see him getting in the frame again after
that run LTO,hadn't been out since November.Top weight but only 11LB covers the field
& he did win on this card last season,(3Yrold H'cap,6F by over 3Ls easily enough off 93).
101 today but only got 10 Runs on the board so hopefully can be competive still.

Going with Sea Force 2.40 Thirsk,headgear back on might bring improvement

Happysandwich u posted Analogical on a different comp,u have a selection here today

5.00 thirst lightning galaxy 10 points

Good luck today guys. Sea Force should be running on late, Tangle. Bow looks solid in the 2000gns along with Distant Storm

Sea Force very unlucky there! Some EW points though Tangle

Are you around today Pauly?

Going to put up  Happysandwich,Analogical

If Pauly not around,put up 4.10 Sovereign Spell Newmarket

I've always thought that there's more to come from Shagraan. Interesting he's gone back to one of the best sprint trainers in the business

Sea Force a bit blocked,jockey almost didn’t try for third

Go with Shagraan, Whippin

I was too late, would have posted it EW. But lets go with yours to win

Night Raider looks Top class on the AW. I always wondered why the owners didn't send him over to the US seeing as there's some rich pickings on that surface over there. Maybe this is the season he puts it all together on Turf?

Whippin,Shagraan ran well,hope we can score with something good

I think he can win a nice sprint this season. As for the 2000gns. Bow and Storm should be there abouts and the latter would be my no1 pick. Also there is one that I'm going to watch for the future. (I may have a small bet)  Into the Sky shouldn't really stay the trip but its very clever what connections have done here. If he stays then lots of options open up for him but if he doesn't they can drop back in trip for the Commonwealth Cup. I can see him going well for a long way and then its case of hoping the stamina gauge doesn't completely empty! lol

Wd FatPunt,easy

Well done FatP! Even stopped clock is right twice a day

Lambourn – 2:35 Chester

10 point Win

Hope I’ve put this knock on the door 5/4 shot on the right thread.

betfair.com/your_competitions/go/thread/view/94214/31901033/team-tipster-comp-2026---round-5-week-2-selections

Just jumping on the A O’Brien gravy train.

MATOURY WIN
16.52
MARKET RASEN

Mark’s Choice 6.45 Ripon

Alobayyah has been a little unlucky in her two runs after making an eye-catching debut at Yarmouth in October 2024. She was struck into at Sandown and then lost a shoe at Newcastle. I think an opening mark of 89 is quite lenient, and the booking of Billy Loughnane is a positive on her handicap debut. She's available at around 8/1, so I'm going to have 5 pts. EW. Fingers crossed.

Bulletin - 2.55 Ascot (E/W)

Valedictory is the short priced Fav for this around 5/4 & has still got improvement in
him no doubt after only 4 Rns & stepping up in trip but Bulletin was only just behind him
@ Newbury last time out ( slightly better terms today).That was his 1ST run of the season
so should come on fitness wise wise.Hopefully shows up if he does come on from that run.
Around 7/1 atm.

wd point scorers.

Some EW points landed FP. Well done Good luck with your picks and bets today lads! I'm looking at a couple at double figures

7.25 lester tex 10 points

Going for Great Acclaim in the the very competitive Victoria Cup. Ran down the field in the Lincoln but returned to 7f and quick going last time out he ran his usual honest race. This 7f on fast going at Ascot looks spot on for him. I'd prefer a higher draw but I'll take a chance Charlie can a take up a decent position towards the front of the field early doors

Gl Whippin,I am in the dog box at the moment

Wd Whippin,place points unlucky though for the win.

IF he had the winners draw he would have won

Had a decent win bet on it....

Whippin,watch out for Paulybad

Yes, I'll give him until 2.55.

Have 3 possibles,6.25 Leister Mumayaz,Go Lockers Go 4.35 Not and 4.00 Herackles

I like Myal at Haydock. Such a game horse who doesn't know when he's beat. He deserves to win in this grade but he needs it on the soft side. Looking at the time of the 2.30, there looks to be enough juice in the going for him. Ten bob Tony and the fav will be tough to beat though

Go for it Whippin

Whippin,had a look at Myal’s form I might back it myself looks promising

If he's in there with a chance going into the last 1/2F I'll be disappointed if he doesn't get the job done, Tangle
Well done Penzance a few more EW points for the team

Another game effort from Myal. Probably ran a career best there but just ran into one that will be going close in G1's this season!

Very unlucky Busy. Your selection rearing up in the stalls cost him the win. So yet another second for the team which was the story of the round for us.

I’ve gone for Next Twist – 2:33 Perth

10 point Win

It won @ 4/11fav LTO & this is it’s chase debut.

Not another of one my systems?

ISABELLA ISLAND
18:00
NEWTON ABBOT
WIN

I'm putting up Albert Einstein in the 3:10 at Newbury. A bit short, but it's a weak race, and I can't see anything beating him. Fingers crossed.

Good luck FP. I'm going to take a swing at one in the Lockage Stakes. I thought Jonquil was quite impressive beating the useful yardstick Holloway Boy (who I backed) LTO. His record in this country at the 1 Mile trip reads 11 and I think there's more to come from him at this trip this season. The stable are in red hot form, he has course form and he enjoys fast going. At a double figure price I have to play.

Hi Whippin,I see Tex is out again in 5.10 Newmarket,liked Kalpana thought a bit short to put up,most prob will put up Moonhall Lass 8.15 Doncaster realised it is also a bit short.
Others Castan 3.37 Thirsk e/w,Rajapour 4.12 Thirsk.
Watch out for Paulbady doubt if he will post,gl

Yes, he's been well found in the market today, Tangle. I noticed you had 2 winners and 2nd from your 3 suggestions last week. I'll ask you for one if Pauly is a no show again. Yeah, I looked at her too and I think Lost Boys has a huge chance today although the price is tight enough

The 4.20 Newbury  looks a cracking betting race. There's a couple in there at double figure prices that I'll be playing

2.45 banger dantes inferno. which is where i belong

Jonquil's half sister just won very nicely yon her debut at Newmarket. Tons to come from her!

Jonquil a huge drifter before the off and ran accordingly

Whippin will put up Castan 3.37 Thirsk e /w for Paulybad if not post by 2.55

Assuming no show from paulybad, I'll take him off the team sheet and you can play wildcards as and when.

Thanks Tangle. OK UD that's fine

Yours is noner now Tangle. But Typeface looks solid in the context of this field of AW horses. Can we avoid nul points for this round? Of course, with hindsight I should have put my best bet of the day up in the comp!

Whippin,Typeface from that draw was never going to win,anyway we can only go upwards from here

CREST OF STARS
WARWICK
16:00   WIN

Lion of Mali – 3:30 Haydock

10point win

Would have won easier LTO if it had found an opening sooner.

But what do I know

Nogo’s Dream 5.27 Goodwood
Going for a longer priced horse,a pity that it was 18/ and now 12/1

I'm going to put up handicap debutant Princling in the 2:20 at Haydock. I think this one could be quite good. On another note, unless the Racing Post revert thier website to normal, I am seriously giving the game up. I will, however, honour this competition to its conclusion. Fingers crossed.

FatPunt,yes the Racing Post have thrown a spanner in the works and the site is now more difficult to navigate and they have highlighted useless info and put all the relevant info in small print ,gl with your selection.

Inis Mor (E/W) 3-10 Good
   GL ALL

I'm in the same boat as FP in that I'm not able to study the form on the 'improved' RP to the level required for me to be confident in placing bets. I can only use my notebook horses and watching replays to guide me. So I'll put Coppull up seeing as I believe he won with a fair bit in hand LTO even though the winning margin was short. Division was slow away that day so will be a big danger if getting away on terms. We probably need something at a double figure price so let's try and land one with the Wildcard. Stick your best outsiders up lads and I'll pick one out of your shortlist

Hi Whippin my second choice for the day is Coppull,Liked Yes I Am Mali 13.30 York,ran second.
Will look for a long priced horse

Will the meeting be called off? I doubt it but I guess there will be a lengthy delay at Haydock

3.55 cart puddlesinthepark 10 points

Haydock under inspection,most probably will be cancelled
Like Dovey Moon  6.15 Salisbury only 15/2 at moment,so not really a long priced.

I thought St Hilda at Goodwood now she's being switched to the turf. Too short for the wildcard though

There looks to be tons of pace on in the 4.20 at Goodwood so the race should set up nicely for course winner Dancingwithmyself. She probably needs to drop a few pounds but I can see her going close

Whipping Undecided says u can replace 2.20 Haydock,think FatPunt had one up for 2.20

Go to put up Dovey Moon 6.15 for wildcard

OK mate. Although I think another team has put that one up.

UD has allowed another hour. So I'll take another look but I'll go with Dancingwithmyself if I can't find one at a bigger price

Oh and now Coppull is a noner! FFS!

Yes just to confirm, you can replace FatPunt's selection in the 2.20, please post by 4pm and I'll take whoever's post is first, ie. FatPunt himself or your wildcard.

Coppull nr, just announced.

If FP doesn't sign in I'm going with Akabusi at Windsor. They rode him more patiently LTO and this looks the key to him. The Richard Hughes trained Marengo Storm could turn out to be much the best of these but switching to the Turf for the first time, I'll go with my selection at the prices

Nice winner Penzance.

Great stuff Tangle!

Thanks Tom for not making any effort to ride out for a place (had a place saver). All in all it's been a very frustrating week, what with the Racing Post website 'improvements'

A rare W for the week, I got paid out on my place bet

True Love – 4:30 Curragh


10 point Win


Round 7 - 24 May to 6 Jun

I'm going in early this week with Yazin in the 6:42 at Sandown on Thursday night. I think this lad could be high on the list of top milers come the end of the season. It's a cracking card tomorrow night, but I'm going to miss most of it due to a late medical appointment. Fingers crossed.

Typeface 5.00 Yarmouth,poor draw when fav last outing.

Sorry team, that was too bad to be true.

Miami Matrix (E/W) - 3.30 Chester.
Goes well around here,2 of his 3 Wins have come here albeit @ 1M.
7Fs today (not that much difference) but the other Win did came over
this trip in a Mdn @ Wolves & did run well over CD LTO on his
seasonal reappearance which was his 1ST run for trainer Morris.
Should be thereabouts in this with luck in running.

Le Roi Du Livet – 7:00 Tramore

10 point win

The Shrewdies

Hope I haven't got the posting date wrong - put down to age and heat.

glenfinnan 4.0 car 10 points

happysandwich, I'm afraid you already picked for this week, go again from tomorrow

unless of-course it's as a wildcard pick? I'll wait for confirmation.

Good luck today. I have one from my notebook at a double price today. Fouette in the 4.20 Carlise. She's been running in listed races and she has found them a touch too hot but she definitely has scope off her mark of 89 back in a handicap. She ran much better than her finishing position LTO and the handicapper has been rather kind and dropped her 2lb. Rosa Ryan booked up is a huge positive too. Take the fav out of the race and its a very open looking race.

For the wildcard I was thinking Maple in the last at Beverley. The Favourite is no good thing to repeat her win LTO and my selection has been running with credit on the Flat and over the jumps of a late and a repeat of his run here 2 runs back will see him go close. If anyone has one at a bigger price I'd be happy to use it

Nice one busy! Non of this EW nonsense for you I see. Well done, Sir!

Thanks Undecided,


I’ll make another selection from tomorrow onwards.

Wd Busy,keeping us in the hunt

bout pheckin time n all. couldnt tip a midget outta bed recently. shocking

i know this will chime with everyone else but whenever you have a list of possibles, you always post the one that is tailed and the others all win at 10000/1

passed up a 66/1 winner at perth last week and was a gnats todger away from putting it up, although i did back it. nice bit of afters there

Yes busy it does. I was considering putting up Justcallmepete again after putting him up previously.  I also should have went with Happy's selection for the wildcard. Hindsight and all that! I'll let him or yourself use the wildcard this week

Just put this up, going for the hat trick (the horse not me) - fingers crossed.

Military Leader – 8:15 Newcastle

WARWICK 19:30

This week I'm going to put up my Oaks fancy, Cameo. I've been sweet on her for a couple of weeks, but it looks like the value has gone. You can still get some 8/1, so I'm going to do her EW. Fingers crossed.

I like her too FP. She looks a different animal as a 3yo and moving up in trip was always going to bring about improvement.
