We are now into April and ready for week number eight, though we began the year with a loss we clawed most of that back in week four and then had a wipe-out in the last couple of meetings so find ourselves down -24 points to SP, early days and there is a long way to go but if we had recorded results to the prices taken we'd be in a much better situation, alas we record to starting prices.
As we continue to focus on the handicap contests for each Wednesday evening meeting we will also occasionally include a feature listed or conditions event too if one is available. Keeping records of our endeavours to a 1 point level stake at SP, naturally we will personally be looking to get better odds than this but for the purpose of these results here we simply record SP returns only.
We will keep up with our occasional lay opportunities of short priced favourites too which wasn't too bad last year with 18 from 28 (64%) short price lays throughout the season. Naturally we will keep these results separately from the handicap figures, off to a disappointing start this season though and as the favs are winning we are currently 3/7 going forwards with these for 2018.
This Wednesday is meeting number eight for the 2018 season and we are expecting an eight race card tonight with five handicaps to enjoy the action will commence at 17:45 with a novice stakes event over five furlongs.
Here's a link to this Wednesday's race card; RACECARD
The going on the polytrack surface is described as 'standard to slow' and the current weather forecast for this Wednesday is for a warmer day so have a good night without the threat of rain for a change so the top temperature will be about 21C by the time the meeting gets underway.
Here are our selections for tonight;
18:15 -- 7f Handicap (3yo).
A field of 14 for our first handicap of the evening and will start with BOND STREET BEAU [5th 12/1] who has just started his handicap campaign with Josephine Gordon in the saddle a plus.
CRYSTAL CASQUE [4th 6/1] ran three times around this course as a 2yo and that experience should be useful in this competition.
18:45 -- 1m 2f 219y Handicap.
Both 4yo's INTERMODAL [5th 5/1] and FAMOUS DYNASTY [6th 6/1] have some course winning form to speak off and that is useful up against the likely short favourite here DELEYLL who will represent one of our lays tonight (Lost 11th 20/1 was forecast 2/1F in the overnight show??).
20:15 -- 7f Handicap.
Plenty of interest in the Luca Cumani trained WARSAW ROAD [4th 9/2] who has won three of his last four and is only 4lb higher than his last win could still be improving.
Paddy Bradley takes a useful 5lb off SAYESSE [9th 10/1] and this recent Wolverhampton runner up is also of interest at 12/1.
20:45 -- 1m 7f 218y Handicap.
Top weight GAVLAR [4th 7/1] is a consistent type and has won at marks of up to 90 and so on 83 can have a chance, a recent 3rd around here suggests that his chance isn't too far away.
UBER COOL [6th 7/1] has won three of his six starts and although lacking in all weather form and is only 2lb higher than his latest win.
21:15 -- 7f Handicap.
Top weight UBLA [Non Runner] was runner up around here on Friday and if turned out this quickly must be fancied ready and fit to strike. HARAZ [Non Runner] has been a model of consistency and while doesn't win that often is given a chance in this company, has even been placed on the actual sand on Laytown Beach and it's those two against the field.
Staked -- 10 points.
Returns -- 2 points.
Results will appear here later on Wednesday night. We seek to recover from our current deficit of -24 points. Getting annoying now losing another 9 points tonight. Down -32 points.
LAYS -- 3/7 if we have one or two Lays tonight they will be updated here also. Got 2 from the 3 tonight, our stats now show 5 from 10 going forward.
Tonight's Lays;
JUNGLE INTHEBUNGLE (17:45) LOST 2nd 6/5F
DELEYLL (18:45) LOST 11th 20/1
IL PRIMO SOLE (19:15) WON 5/2.
