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

I've had a look at "Pitmen's Derby" as what Norfumberland Plate Class 2 hcap in Newcastle is known as - yay 😊 🙆‍♀️

gee, thanx leff ✅ With your stellar insight and all, I too may be able to go "in tee" 😃 work on Monday and be able to tell us mates I had winner of 'Northumberland' 😊 Even if I have to back eight to do it 😁

You're welcome poster - I'm liking that "Even if I have to back eight to do it" 😃 very droll, as they say 🙂 Am not too enamoured however on this offering here : "I too may be able to go "in tee" 😃 work on Monday" - Is that a dig at me being so-called 'known degenerate/doler' ?? ,,,,,,,,

,,,,, What, no reply poster?

____________________________________________

Anyroad, for no particular reason(s)/for reasons various, my picks are:

3.30 Newcastle

RAINBOW DREAMER 16/1, ISLAND BRAVE 14/1, PIRATE KING 66/1, GRAPHITE 33/1 all them each way,, One win pick on a/c of Proberto being bullish sounding about it, when he were intaviewed on SSR recently (y'day i think, after he'd ridden a winner or summit) and that's VALLEY FORGE 13/2 win

Them is at readily available prices; I've done em on the 'book with 6plcs on offer, and where Graphite is a lot shorter than with most other books,, anyroad, at least I have us bets on, and, if i waited til tomorrow to do em, I might've spilt all me shekels on summit stupid like eg a Women's soccer match in Tristan Da Cunha, or somesuch, as us degenerates are wont ta dee; or p'raps even sussed out the AP market on the #2023 overall winner of t'Kabbadi in the Haryana and Punjab region 😄 no best prices for this poster as night before, but c'est la vie 😤

#for all i know, maybe the 2022 edition hasn't started yet ! 😁 🤗

So yeah, only the five picks, nd not eight as the poster above suggested as being a possibility, tongue-in-cheek of course 😉

sorry for late reply leff, wasn't tekkin mick there - just one of em figures of speech ya know? 😃 nothing but love here m8 🤣

nae bodr concocted internet personage; 's'all good 😎

hopefully get a shout or twenty in tomorrow, what with toing and froing/changes of fortune etcetera,, 😊

9.00 Donny

NOTEABLE 7/2 win

WD j@u 😊

Toos-dee 28 June '22

Roscommon - Yielding

5.40

AURIELA ~20s might perhaps go well on her first run for new owner/trainer Eoin Joseph McDonagh; she were a costly enough purchase in 2yr old Breeze Ups in April of last year @ €74,000 ,, she done nowt on her first two runs - one last Sept, and the second of the two in April,, the latest of these prolly tested her stamina, and the first saw her slow to stride and she also ran free that day,, She'd need to break better to have a chance here,, She's well bred and should be happy enough with some (not so sure about 'soft' going, or worse, but on gd to soft/yielding she should deffo go on it) juice in ground; based on her sire Churchill, who's progeny seem to like a bit of cut,,

Her step first cousin and half brother, King Of War, won over an almost identical trip (7f.16yds. - the race in concern is over 7f. 60yds.) at Chepstow on good-good to soft in places last week,, expect she'll like the expected (atm, but rain may come) yielding going, and that if t'ground gets softer, it will hopefully be fine too :)

Not an obvious one on form, granted, but, then again, not many of these look likely here

Silk Damask ~6/1 may have her supporters for champ Colin Keane and trainer R P Cody, and, should the going improve to good, then she's worthy of consideration,, At yielding, or softer; based on breeding, I think she falls well short, but that's just my opinion like 😃 The grey and ~ 3/1 early 2nd fav Girl Crush looks one who'd want more of a trip plus better ground

Weld's ~9/4 paper jolly Dabana has thus far had five goes w/o success,, looks one to swerve, but the competition don't look first class; she's well ahead of these on ratings, with her being rated 80, and the other two with a hcap rating are Murtagh's Chicago Lightening (r66) and the aforementioned Silk Damask (r64),, Dabana looks most likely on form, but I think she wants a mile/and or better ground,, might win on a/c of the relatively poor looking opposition in this Fillies Maiden, but she's an easy enough swerve from me atc

Will deffo consider doing Auriela each way here laterer on today, or sometime 2moro p'raps; when going is more of a known ect 😊

8.30 Muss

Wide open race this where most have claims,,

pen landed on three:

SPARKLE IN HIS EYE 16/1, RUM GOING ON 9/2 , BOBBY SHAFTOE 10/1

go ew on these + small combi f'cast/tricasts

gl

chanced a 5-plce lay on Connie's Rose 6.00 Chp @ ~ evs; don't know why she's top of betting @ 5s here; has been consistent w/o winning in her last three runs since moving to Grace Harris' stable,, is only three and just seven runs in total, but hard to see her try-make-all tactics be victorious here - has been supported, but, unless they try summit else, she looks about a 12/1 shot to win this,,

didn't bother looking at this race, so no fancies, but, if i had the time, I reckon i'd come up with a fair few ew pokes here 🤣

might try find one 😋

no joy at all in 5.40 Roscommon

7.o'c Kempton LAFAN ew 8/1

poor enough draw,, okay price in open race

No joy there

8.08 Newbury

Wide open this,, have gone for 2 agin the field here,,

Good to firm - good in places is the current going there, but it looks as tho rain is due. A bit of juice would hopefully help the two picks, or at least will not be much of an inconvenience,,

PLEDGE OF HONOUR 14s ew

Horse is in good form, winning two of his last three races; can chase it or be held up,, has a bit of a tendency to be slow to stride on occasion,, will hope it don't affect his chances too much,, good price anyway

GERT LUSH 28/1 ew

5yr old goes well this time of year,, staying the 10fs aint guaranteed,, appeals on price tho and has the lowest weight here; Callum Hutchinson also takes 5lbs off.. probably has no chance if she's out back early, as needs to be mid-div at least, i feel, going on her previous, to have a chance here,,

prolly be doing well to get a place here, but fekkit, that's punting; there aint that too many 'certainties',,,

,,,, hope rain is a certainty, as i think it could scupper chances of the jolly Wonder Starelzaam, who's a scarcely believable best-priced 6/4 shot; looks more a 2/1 (at least) shot to me, and that's assuming good to firm [or close to] going,, any bit of soft in going and i think (based on his 2nd last run, where going were good-good to soft in places) t'jolly is well vulnerable here - not a lot of info to go on as hasn't ever really ran on soft (apart from a few sprint goes in Ireland when trained there) ; but plenty reason(s) for me to go plce-lay here
