Once again today's afternoon cards in my opinion are pretty poor quality, the majority of each card is dominated by really small field races which negate any possibilities of a good EW bet & i am mostly all about finding good EW value. So just a few picks in the few bigger field races this afternoon & keeping stakes small as racing isn't the best. Things looks to pick up Slightl in the evening, much like yesterday so evening picks will go on later on.
Afternoon Cards -
Sandown -
15:05 - Best EW Ligea 11/2 = LOST (6/7)
The best quality race on offer at sandown today & will very likely be a tight contest. Champion jockey R Hughes looks to have an interesting mount on ligea, comfortably won a maiden race on her second outing & followed up by being a heavily eased winner over 6f in a class 5 handicap last time out which suggests she should step into listed class perhaps rather nicely & it seems as if trainer Richard Hannon is confident she can mix it at this level. further 7f looks as if it should suit considering she won her two 6f starts without having to find too much. While how she will perform at this level is unknown i think the price is worth the EW in a what is a tight race.
Yarmouth -
15:25 - Nullarbor Sky 6/4 win = WON (1/8)
I won't usually tip up a short priced fav unless it looks the best option & in this race Nullarbor sky is hard to get away from on the bare facts. Having been run over some varied trips recently & doing only ok she ran over today's trip of 11f last time out finishing a good second & was well clear of the rest. Same class today & going off the same mark so she really does look the one to focus on, with a punt on the nose looking worth while.
Bath -
17:30 - Best EW Catalina's Diamond 11/2 = PLACED (3/10) & TheNameIsFrank 9/1 = LOST
Catalina's Diamond ran 3rd in a class 5 over C&D last time out & was only 3/4 of length behind the winner, considering the drop down to class 6 today & the fact this mare goes off the same mark makes her look good value for the EW at a price of 11/2 which could ultimately be generous. Thenameisfrank is one i backed last week at brighton where he was disappointing after things looked to point towards a good run that day, if he can put that behind him & pick up on the form he showed the time out before that over today's C&D where he finished 2nd of 8 off today's mark then he can go well, Value EW bet at 9/1.
Evening Cards -
Leopardstown -
18:50 - Best EW Our Manekineko 7/1 = PLACED (2/9)
This Horse has been coming down the weight off late after being raised in quick succession after finishing 2nd at dundalk over 8f in march & following that up with a win at dundalk over the same trip. Back down to that dundalk winning mark today & if transferring that sort of form shown on the All weather then a claim for the places could be on.
19:55 Best EW Street Party 5/1 = LOST
Street party certainly doesn't offer up the best form figures here but to be fair he has contested some warm class 1 handicaps off higher marks recently with todays test being easier. Ran an improved 3/6 last time out over today's C&D off an OR of 66, down to 64 today & ridden by 4lb claiming apprentice C R Ring so there is a chance that this gelding could lay down a stand for the places & looks worthy of a small EW punt.
Doncaster -
18:45 - Best EW Clubland 9/2 = WON (1/10)
The tightly grouped front end of the market in this one suggest that it should be a tight affair & admittedly a few have decent claims, Clubland is one who looks in with a chance & is just big enough to get the EW cover at 9/2. The trip looks a genuine excuse last time out so that can be ignored, the run before that was over 6f in a class 4 handicap at thirsk off today's mark where he finished a decent 3rd of 12. If repeating that thirsk effort here then he should lay down an assault on the place money.
20:25 - Best EW Gioia Di Vita 5/1 = PLACED (2/9)
This Marco Botti colt has some decent form to offer up, most notable of which when finishing 2nd & 3rd in class 4's at Pontefract & Chester in May. Drops to a class 5 today & in transferring those runs over to today then he stands a good chance of being involved at the business end, 5/1 looks worth the EW bet here.
