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

in 9,o'c Wolves DEW YOU BELIEVE 17/2 EW , has no obvious chance on recent poor form, but wasn't unfancied lto over c & d. former CD winner persists with the extended mile, and will do me here

Okeanos ~ 7/4 fav is opposable on account of his being stepped up in trip, imo, but does look most likely

Inexplicable ~ 9/4 will surely be there or thereabouts, but has had thirteen runs since his last victory (over CD) in November gone - with 5 of those over course and distance, and a fair few 'crossbar jobs' amongst them

g'luck

Morning 😁

very tired is me, just looked on hyah for inspo.

Mystic Pearl well supported. Sire has 2 turf winners in times recent, but they was over 6furlongs on soft. leave that one off - hope it wins for ya missus. in that race, I looked at one I backed before: GOMETRA GINTY 20/1 EW. has gone well in the past over CD - has a win and a second from back in 2021. mainly been campaigned over 7furlongs since - will do me. drifting like a barge tho, but I'll not let that worry us

Muzaffar ~ 12/1 EW 5,15. had very quick look, and his 2nd and 3rd last runnings on t'Tapeta over 11 & 12 furlongs at Newcastle and Southwell looks good enough for me 😊

in 4.45 Mystic Pearl race, thought it strange Haggas sending one up north for a Class4 were a bit unusual. checked it out and he's some strike-rate since 2010 - 41% win record in that timeframe, with twenty winners from 49 runners sent to Scottish venue

barring ur two missus, i've not had a look at owt else. too wrecked me

best of luck with yours j@u 🤣

on that 4.45 Muss race:

Gometra Ginty just off the pace early - in front rank and travelling okay ~ 3fs out. looking ominous (well he was ~ 20/1 🤣) at around the two pole, and fades...

well-backed jolly Elim wins, the Dalgleish/Fanning horse made a race of it in second, and got close without ever looking likely

first two , then everything else nowhere; looked about 10lgths back to the third on original viewing - in a mile hcap !!

mebbe it's a bit worse than Good to soft - either that, or the first two was waay better than rest,,, was a Fillies' Handicap tho, so there is that 😝

t'Wench's pick come fourth

too good is ire j@u to be stuck on 'lukewarm' list

better days ahead 🙂

! Hon Muzaffar !

chance THATS JET EW 5.25 Sligo

gl

enuf 4m me - not going near the rest of Musselburgh

mebbe tomorrow

g'lk :)

Down Royal Good - Yielding

5.05

if going stays same and don't get softer, then me'd give TRAMPS LIKE US 16/1 EW a reasonablish squeak here. a ~ 12 lgths 4th lto was a marked improvement on his previous outing - both were ~2m NH Flat races on soft/heavy going,,, am thinking he'd be better suited by good/close to good ground - which racecard is stating it as being at, currently

Tommies Call , the ~ 5/2 co fav of three in this, may prefer softer going. will keep eye on this one, and if price and going are simila laterz, then me'll consider do a place-layee on this one

good luck :)

i dinna have a clue. if it's, and likely it is, a piece of equipment/gear like cheekpieces or summat, well i aint never heard o' no 'net muzzle'

:O(

had a look - think it's like a mask what's put in front of horsies' faces for to stop them inhaling midges/pollen etc - like them yokes we had to wear for ~ 2yrs; horse dead right to "refuse" it , or "not face" it : whatever that means 😉

😁 Dam Strait !

i think BONUS 22/1 EW can go well in Bath 5.53 and get a place perhaps. has won over soft and heavy when making all/most over 7fs on two occasions on the turf. has flopped a few times o'er a mile, but those were mainly races on good going, and perhaps making running weren't best tactics. has never won from hold up ride, but i think it's way forward

layoff not really a negative - and as far as "hold-up" rides go, he did come 2nd over 7fs at Yarmouth on Good to Soft last June. could be a contender here for sure. deserves NB vote at prices

g'l

ee that were alrihghtright 😊

pity i missed da race - what with snooker and mekkin tea

anyroad, HONEY GIRL WINNNNNS !

😁

me actually had look, independently, at that race, without seein' yer post. saw fav was gambled on into ~ 4/7 from ~ 5/4 earlier. thought/hoping he'd be a lay/place-lay, but, nahh, he really should be winning this

i give Bonus a not unreasonable squeak in us post higher up page - not liking any of the single-figured ones, outside of le verry prohibitively priced jolly

can't rule Havana Goldrush out, but it were on good to soft - albeit over course/distance... has mainly raced on the AW, and the very few goes he's 'ad on turf were on ground on no worse than Good to Soft. infacta, that last run where he prevailed, was first time he's ever had a go with ground what had a "mention" of Soft in description

i've a poor strike-rate when opposing ur picks 😂 #so i aint gonna rule him out at all at all

#altho they might not like 'proper' Soft ground. not enough info (or knowledge from me heheheh 🙂) to put ya off, and 7s don't seem huge, but far from unfair, imo

verdict on Havana Goldrush's claims - of winning, or following fav home - is "I'm mainly on the fence; think is not likely winner tho, and not tempted to back either w/o fav or to come placed (~6/4 on exchange to place first three) . soft/softish going enough to put me off. If was betting him, i'd pick the betting without favourite option "
