The weekend was a quiet one from me with no involvement in any of the action. Friday was a sound result though with the days only selection winning nicely to bring about solid profit. Onto today & the racing looks a shade better perhaps than some of which has been on offer of late. Have a few selections that look worth the bet today, hopefully can start the week with a decent day.
Kempton -
14:20 STORM FORCE TEN 7/1 EW = PLACED (3/8)
This looks quite a tight maiden to kick things off here at Kempton where a few of these will probably winning races before too long so a case could be made for a few of them but STORM FORCE TEN looked decent last time out round here & could be better than the price suggests. Didn't show much on debut & finished a pretty poor last of 8 over 7f at Sandown but like many horses first time out looked in need of the run & showed next time out around here at Kempton that he may have some promise when finishing a staying on 3rd of 12. Like his first run brought him on there is a good chance he will be able to come on from that last run also. Last time out came over 8f & he stayed on pretty well to claim a decent 3rd which could indicate that today's 10f should suit. Personally i think having that run around here last time holds him in good stead as he can offer up course/surface form which is something some of his rivals cannot, how important that is remains to be seen but i think it is something in his favour. There are a couple here that also have shown promise but i really like proven form at Kempton which is what the selection has shown. Andrew Balding has his yard in good form at present so thats another positive. All in all this colt showed last time out that he can get competitive & i don't think he would need to come on from that one too much to get involved here, so looks worth some each way money at a decent price of 7/1.
Tipperary -
15:15 GRACE DAISY 8/1 EW = LOST
This filly has posted a few respectable efforts in her 3 races to date most notably on the last two occasions when finishing 4th of 9 & 5th of 12. Last time out she particularly caught the eye at Down Royal over 5f in a maiden, after initially not getting into the race she managed to fly home in the last furlong to claim a fast finishing 4th & i think if she had got into the race better she would have been able to lay down a better challenge because she really did fly up the straight. Having that been only her third run she may have needed the experience & improvement now switched to handicaps shouldn't be ruled out in my eyes. She is in receipt of a fair bit of weight from those who are more fancied than her in the market which is a positive thing & if travelling into the race better today then she could take advantage of that difference in weight. This is by no means a bet to go crazy on but i think @ 8/1 she is worth a smallish EW bet & i can even see her being subject of a bit of support later, if she can get into the race better than last time & replicate that finishing form then GRACE DAISY could be up there challenging when it matters.
Leicester -
15:30 TRULY MADLY 9/4 WIN = LOST (4/9)
A 7f seller here for this one, which looks as if it might just be the opening TRULY MADLY needs to lay down a strong challenge again. On the whole this 3 year old filly brings the best form into the race & has posted some respectable efforts in better company. Her most notable efforts this season were when she was a decent 3rd in a class 4 handicap over today's trip of 7f at Kempton & when winning over 6f in a class 5 handicap also at Kempton, these figures look positive ones when you remember she is dropping into selling company here today. She has also shown ok on good to soft ground form when finishing 3rd at Epsom over 6f in class 5 handicap back late August so there should be no problems on today's forecast good (good to soft in places).The ever impressive James Doyle has been on board for 2 of her better efforts including that win at Kempton & he takes the mount again today. The only sizeable negative could be that she ran poorly last time out at Kempton in a class 4 handicap & never really got into the race but i think she can be forgiven that & dropping into a seller today could be just what she needs to spark a revival. There are a few others with form that suggest they could go well in this but all in all TRULY MADLY looks the pick on the facts & figures, i think she can go close & hopefully repay the faith & take the spoils.
