Thursday

Interesting days racing at plenty I think should run well but just not getting the prices I would like at the same time.Im going with one selection and whilst he is a bit of a chracter I think he is a fair price and there is a good chance he will run his race today.

Advised Selections

4.20 taunton Laustra bad 1/2 pt each way 8/1 wh bog


3.00 ludlow I had decent hopes for phidippides this season but after a promising first run things have not gone to plan,hopefully he jumps better today and we could find him on a fair mark for handicaps in the near future.easily has the ability to win this round a course that should suit.

330 ludlow haventgotascoobydoo looks to be on a fair mark for what he has shown so far stable good with these types stepping into handicaps and should go close.couple more could improve as well though and is to short for that reason.

400 ludlow
intresting little race and very competetive at the same time,pickamus and pigeon island both could find this a lot easier than the races they have competting in off late and if at there best today they could both go well however there are a few at the bottom that also warrant respect.calusa cadera is genrally pretty consistent he needs a decent surface and this sharp 3 mile may just be ideal here,he does not look to well treated though and is plenty short enough.Isnt that lucky has had probems seeing out his races in the past and if thats now resolved he looks a fairly treated horse jonjos horses can be hard to read at the best of times though never mind 2 weeks befor cheltenham.The closest ive got a selection is max bygraves who comes from a stable who is having a cracking season and this horse has still not stopped improved the step up in trip is sure to suit and its intresting connections are bringing him back here,im fairly confident of a good run but its 5/1 for a career best and I have to stay away at thoose odds.

430 sawpit solataire looks the likely one here put up a promising run lto and this trip will suit better,he really should take this for mand looks to have been found an ideal oppurtunity the concern is 11/4 for a horse thats not won a race yet hardly represents value.

3.20 taunton
Happy to take moolly round and round tom on here but the problem I have is ive got 2 noted horses running her.Red mile was a selection on the last 2 occasions he ran with much more promise lto and did make a mistake at a key time in the race he should improve on that again and I expect him to be involved, the other horse is the boss who im sure is going to be well suited by 3 miles on this better ground he is going to prove better than this mark in time no doubt.Its hard to split them though and I cant really get involved at there current odds.

Laustra bad has not won ar ace for 4 years and certainly has his own ideas about things, for me though there are strong reasons to expect a decent showing today and I think he has gone a little unconsidered so far looking at the market.Firstly the trip and course should hold no problems I like the fact we now get the blinkers back on and also we have decent claimer back on board making his mark look even more attractive here, he seems to be running more consistent of late and I think he should be shorter today especially as we know how good most of these are.Falcon island is probably the one that comment does not apply to and it would not suprise me to see him being the main danger here.
