Monday 13th August 2013 - Daily Tips

Finally back after a break to get August's blog off to a late start. Have to be honest & say that slighlty disappointed with the racing on offer today & was hoping to come back to something better, with not much over the cards really catching the eye. There a few that look of decent value & worth the punt so here they are;

Ayr -

16:30 - Best EW MASH POTATO 9/2 = PLACED (2/11) 

Ran a creditable 3rd last time out at windsor over today's trip in a class 5, dropped into class 6 today & going off 1 lower in the OR. Will have to carry top weight in this one but is ridden by a 5lb claimer (Connor Beasley) & if he has the desired effect then there is no reason why another decent run for the place money could be on the cards.

Thirsk -

20.00 Best EW ROCKET RONNIE 5/1 = WON (1/10)

Been in very solid form this year & showed that he was capable off running well off an improved mark last time out when finishing a creditable 3rd of 16 over today's C&D. Goes off the same mark today & he is capable of reproducing that form in today's contest then there looks no reason why place money cannot be obtained again. All the time the price is available it is worth the EW money.

Windsor -

18:10 - HI FILWAH - Win evens = LOST (2/8) 

Usually not too keen on maidens unless something does look to stand out. Hi Filwah does look to have a found a good opening here to get off the mark having finished 2/3/2 on his three starts to date, most notably of which when narrowly beaten into second last time out. Ryan Moore gets the ride today & should give a bold showing at just about a backable price.

18:40 - REGAL SILK - Win 11/8 = LOST (2/8) 

Another Ryan Moore runner here & one which was very impressive when winning a maiden by a margin of 5 lengths & looked as if he should have more to offer. Into a handicap race today & going off only 1lb higher, This combined with the fact she goes off lowest weight should stand her in good stead for another bold showing, Hopefully this Noseda filly can get past the post first & looks worth the punt on the nose to do so.

Ballinrobe - 

19:20 Best EW DAWERANN 5/1 = LOST (4/10)

Has been showing some good form figures of late, Most notably when winning off 4lb lower in a 17 runner maiden at roscommon & when running a decent fourth at the galway festival off today's mark behind the impressive diplomat. if putting the same sort of run ar that forward here today then there is no reason why this gelding shouldn't go close, Barry Geraghty in the saddle is never bad thing either, worth the EW money.
