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

6.00 Ballinrobe This Novice Hurdle looks like an interesting 6 runner affair. I opted for the top one BALLYBAUN STAR 6/1 of Thomas Gibney. He looks a sweet price here. Wanted/tried make a case for to back one of the two shorties, but there isn't a lot of pace on here - it would seem - and I think this is less likely to inconvenience my pick than the rest. Will go win.

Gd Luck

We'll chance QUERCUS 8/1 win 1.55 Catt in this wide open race. He's a former C/D winner and has a light enough weight. Not a lot of out and out frontrunners here. Will hope Stotty tries to make all in this. Has to put a few poor runs behind him, but he does go well at the course.

Good Luck

Rotten luck there @Konny Rool

have gone with a reverse forecast on @[Deleted User]'s 2 picks in Southwell here

a little each way on the bottom one Rita's Wish at a big price in Southwell 2.55. looks like a very poor field here.

3.05 Catt Jackmeister Rudi 2/1 can go well for Dave and Ben

3.55 Lingfield After Eight 4/1

4.15 Catterick Jamih 3/1

6.45 Limk

WOODFIELD SYNPHONY ew 12/1

Gl @Konny Rool 😁

Nothing doing there,

enough for today

Godfather III on Sky Movies now, so will go with #BARZINI 9/4 win in 8.55 Saratoga 😁

#think he was in "I" , but fekkit 😆

A bad day today - will try to leave on positive note 😊

Looking at one of the earlier races for tomorrow - the 2nd race of the day at British meets, and the first at Thirsk

Friday 22nd July

1.10 Thirsk . Going is good to firm or thereabouts

COLEY'S KOKO 22/1 EW NAP

Looks a huuuugge price to me this one. Out of form looking at her form figures, but it's the first time in a while that she's running in a Class 6 5furlong race on a sharp (less than a minute on average to win over five f's is 'sharp' track to me 🤗 ) track, and on going that has firm in description [if it rains, it rains I guess - whatcha gonna do?]

She has three wins from over the distance from last year. All were on at least good. Hasn't ran great since winning at Catterick last Sept, but she took a right good hike in ratings after that. She won off 67 then and now runs off 57. The only negative I can see is the female apprentice Sophie Clements who claims five here (claims 7 in non-app races). Not had many winners has Soph, and will this female apprentice be strong in finish?? Tis an apprentice race tho, so there is that. #smileyface . She has come third on horse before, has the jockey. That was at Catterick 4 runs back, and the last time Ms Clements was on board.

A 2nd pick here and more speculatative:

STORM MASTER 40/1 ew

Has only had the six runs, and though his 4th [with first-time cp's] last time out looked a massive improvement on form previous, it was a 'Classified Stakes' race,, Looks unlikely winner all the same, but there's #no standout contenders here imo, with a fair few that can be given chances of hitting the crossbar; but, as to any of them having either solid win or place claims, it's tough to be confident about any of em.

# If there was a 'place' win or lay nap here, then it's the jolly DANDY SPIRIT 6/5 what'd be getting it. Think he finishes down field. Evidence: Since winning two at Dundalk over the minimum at back end of 2020, he has not won over 5furlongs. He showed improvement lto - on his 4th run for new connections - when winning over 6f at Ponty (and easily too). BUT he made all that day over a further trip than tomorrow's AND it were a stiff 6fs an all; plus he has a stone or more extra on his back to carry. It was also a 5 runner race, and he was 4th in the betting (so presumably nothing much was expected that day). Negative evidence: That was a 'major' return to form, and in the two races he won at Dundalk, he either *led or raced prominent early.. Back to 'positive' evidence: *Gullane One and Golden Gal are likely to threaten jolly for lead here.

#have given nap to winner already 😁 Also, far as napping goes, it's for picking winners, be they win or each way picks. KR's not bucking convention here

Country Charm #12/1 has only ever won once, and that was on soft at 5fs at Catterick. Is capable of running into a place and may suit any degens who might want a third pick here. Don't know much about jockey Sam Feilden, but a few of these jockeys are unknowns even to the best/worst of us vice-ridden reprobates. Perhaps a third ew pick here on Scott Dixon's filly; maybe a few combination 'casts as well, to wit: fore & tri.,, #depending on many factors, both known and unknown, tis possible there could be a major volley of incursions on those double figures 🤣

PS if all go to post and should all my picks finish in first three, then @Konny Rool is unilaterally usurping @[Deleted User] - who sez (or 'intimated' as Les Rozzers say) he's finito here - from "t'number uno" spot 😂

EDITO - anyone what's got Racing TV, keep an ear out to likes of 'mumbling' Mellish and bloohke what has proclivity for elongating his 'O's , and any other pundit/s; as, like as not, they be bigging up horse AND t'jock (Connor Planas a decent pilot tbf) here, and one might think backing fav is akin to lumping on Pegasus. Tread carefully ye favourite backers 😋

😊

Also put a few shekels e/w on Ellexis 66s
