It was pleasing that both of my bets won yesterday, but the SP was woeful, in both cases. The early prices were generous and a double, at at early odds made it quite a respectable day. Tuesday is rarely a great day for both quality and for betting opportunities. There is not a great deal of either on offer today but I think I have found a profit tucked away amongst Tuesdays cards.
2.20 Folkstone- Ruthie Babe, Win
Ruthie Babe (2.20) should get the Folkstone card off to a winning start. William Haggas’ filly ran out a good winner at Ffos Las last week and has the benefit of Michael Hills today as well as a six pounds penalty. The stable continues in good form and a quick fire double is on the cards in what looks a very winnable race.
3.30 Beverley- Captain Dunne, Win
The best bet of the day though is at Beverley, who stage their final fixture of the season. Captain Dunne (3.30) looks to have very strong claims in a very good conditions race. The key looks the drop back to five furlongs following a near miss in the Portalnd handicap, over six at Doncaster last time. Tim Easterby’s four year-old was just caught in the dying strides of that highly competitive handicap. Draw eight of nine is ideal and I am taking the Captain to confirm his length’s beating of Ishetoo, at Doncaster, who has to contend with stall two today. I would urge modest stakes but Captain Dunne is fully expected to win today.
