I Love Punting , Providing Selections & Chatting Gibberish ; & I Intend To Do So On Hyah

Tough day today with low motivation 😁

Wokingham 5.00 Ascot

be highly surprised if Silver Samurai , who's just shading 2nd fav possy @ ~ 13/2, can oblige here,,, doubt if he's good enough here (have looked at nowt else in this) going on his recent form (has mainly been contesting races over 7f and 1mile until recently, where he has been running over 6fs for his last three outings - potentially 'unexposed' o'er t'trip?? - i doubt it ). Going is good to firm, though it may well change if much rain comes,, will hope the ground stays the way it is,, even if it don't, I'm not seeing SS do much here..

Is drawn low in 5, so that's good [as low numbers aint generally favoured] and have laid him for 4 to 8 places @ ~ 2/1 for the 4 , and ~ 10/11 for the 8, and ~ commensurate odds for the positions in between..

hope folk find winners today :)

1.42 Perth

MAIFALKI 5/2 win

short enough price for this 9yr old,, has only ever ran twice over obstacles, with most his runs being on the flat.. Came a good second for his recent trainer, on his first run for Miss Russell lto,, that was after a yr's absence, and race was ran in a fast time,, don't appear massive value the 2nd fav, but there's not a lot to beat, it would seem, in this, with Gordon's Copperwell looking the obvious threat, at a similar price as t'pick

Gl

EDIT have also backed him at ~ evs to come in first two

gl all 😊

Great post Count !! 😄

No mood for studying today,, time for 'Studying for Saturday' starts around early/mid-afternoon on Thursday - does be overwhelming looking at Saturday meets on the day 😄

nonetheless, i'll see if i can't find 1 or three, at perhaps one o the evening meets,,

SURREY TERRITORIES 9/1 ew 5.18 Ling

Runs in 'Classified Stakes' race from what looks like a poor draw in 12 of 12 runners,,, only one i looked at, but looks a good price @ ~10s to come with a late run from a hold-up ride,,

Is yet to win from twelve runs, and 1m does seem to stretch "G'day" Brett Johnson's three yr old, but he come a good second in Jan at the course over 7fs on the 'Standard' going, when staying on, and was well ahead of the third,, at nine or ten to one, is worth a small e/w bet - blind or no, imo 😆

6.20 Lingfield GIGI'S BEACH 5/2 WIN NAP

Looks a MASSIVE price here,, has to lump 9-12, but looks very well handicapped,, looked at race thinking he'd be ~ 5/4 shot or shorter, and thought to get him beat..

can't see what beats him - ones closest in betting look like 6f horses, or else have a bit to prove over seven,,, is a hold-up sort drawn in stall one, with plenty, it would seem, what would be wanting to get on with it,, am seeing zero negatives here...

looks about a 4/5 shot to me; will have decent bet on Alice Haynes' horse

:( Broome wins

Hello

done your "Ayr" pick to place in first three @ ~2s j@u :D

'Toos-Dee' 21st June 2022

an early luke at one at Brighton to keep us eye in 😃

4.00 Brighton

Red Kite is early 13/8 'paper jolly' for MJ aka "The Scottish Vet" in this 'Restricted Maiden Stakes' Class 5 for 3/5-y-o's,, he don't like 'loading process' and will hope he don't consent to leave box 😂

Race is pretty much a mile (mebbe ~4yds shorter) at 7f 216yds,, methinks he wants further,, looks a likely leader along with Butler's (The Crook 😆) 4yr old Emperor Of War; and Ladypacksapunch should be right behind these two, as well as, possibly, Grant Me Serenity, who's also likely to be very close to t'pace,,

Red Kite might feel the pressure and will consider him for 2-place lay

Grant Me Serenity holds third 'paper odds' market possy @ 4s, and looks to have a decent chance at those odds,, She'll do me for small win if all things is equal tomorrow - or ltr on today, when books are tekkin bets on this

:)

Another for Tuesday

8.30 Newton Abbot - Good

Kennack Bay ~4/1 might try make all on his first go over t'larger obstacles, as this is how he's mainly ran on his last few goes over hurdles - all at around 3m.

My Lady Grey ~ 6/5 looks well bred for the chasing game, but it took her 6 goes afore she got her head in front in this sphere when she won lto over C&D,, time was slow enough that day, and Joe Tizzard's grey has 13lbs more to lump going in the same grade,, was also her first run under Joe's stooardship since tekkin licence o'er from daddy Colin - looks miles off a 'mortgage job' this one,,

The one I like here is BELLE JOUR ~ 11/2,, Came third lto when a warm jolly in a three horse race,, will overlook that, as 'trappy affair' etc, and race was ran in a poor enough time, so can excuse him (strangely enough, given the name, that he's a he 😛) that run, as may have preferred a faster pace to chase,, that were at Fontwell, but it was his previous run over the exact same track nd trip that would make him seem potentially well-overpriced; and he's likely to have very strong claims here,,

Bradstock horse Crawford ~ 14s is another potential likely leader, and another what's having his first go over fences,, just six and hasn't done much in any of his hurdles' runs,, possibly do a lot better chasing, but no real positives to go on as far as backing him goes,, Yet another potential leader is Shanroe Smooch ~ 20s, but he'll need to improve to get involved here,, tough to completely rule him (or anything else in the field ftm) out for this, but others have far stronger claims imo

The previously mentioned Kennack Bay is having his first go over fences, and, as well as possibly trying to lead, that's enough reasons to not want to be on t'Pauling horse here,, Port O'clock ~ 4/1 should go well on only his third ever go chasing, provided he don't make any blunders,, is seven but has only been racing since last year,, looks like he was got for chasing as only had three goes over t'shorter obstacles,, a first and a second place position he can boast from his first two chase bids - the first of which was a Class 6 Hunters' chase at Exeter which he won,, Will consider this fella as a second pick here, nd mebbe a rev f'cast also with BJ 😂
