Richard Hannon's Melt is one of Todays Tips
It was a bad day for me on Monday. Desperate Dan was second, but the rider let Daryl Holland steel the race. The first lay was spot on, but I underestimated the Henderson horse. Hopefully we will fare better today.
Today is another moderate day of racing, despite the high number of races. I am not inclined to do much today, but hopefully I have found a couple of gems amongst all the low quality racing. This afternoon at Folkstone the Seller (3.30) is shocking and the only horse you could possibly back is the favourite Billy Beetroot. Well beaten last time in a Handicap that saw the winner steak 11 lengths clear, clearly very handicapped. So taking the winner out Billy Beetroot won the race (of the rest) and is consistent in his handicap grad something you can not say about any of his opponents. Stuart Williams is shrewd, to say the least and has booked the useful William Carson to take five pounds off. I like his chances and make Billy Beetroot my bet of the day, which is indicative of the cards I’m afraid to say.
Melt (6.20 Bath) is a filly who has been very busy over the winter, having had nine runs on the All-Weather and will certainly not be lacking for fitness as she comes back to turf! Superverdi by contrast has had a break and the race is between these two with teh preference being for Melt to get her head in front and at the prices I am prepared to take the Richard Hannon trained melt. Lady Bora is one I would definitely lay, the race is a match-up with Melt to come out on top, in my view.
Now we turn to Laying Horses to Lose on The Betting Exchanges…
Laying Horses to Lose today is a good strategy. Lady Bora in that Bath (6.20) race is first on the list, as detailed above. Also laying one against Billy Beetroot may not be the wisest move, as it may compound losses if things go wrong but the market has Mythical Blue as a 3-1 shot. his last two runs saw his finish last in a Nursery at Musselburgh and second last of eleven in a claimer at Great Leighs. He has a high rating but his reappearance in a seller for his new trainer, having been with Billy Beetroots trainer Stuart Williams tells us all we need to know. Had the horse gone from a useless trainer to Milton Bradley I would be cautious, but am not worried at all and think he will get well beaten today.
Tonight’s Football looks interesting and we continue to make good money at the Snooker!
Have a good day!
