“Let the sun shine, let the sun shine”, are words from a song that must have been sung by all the bookies this week, as the unseasonably warm weather has scuppered lots of well laid plans! Our big hope Chapter Seven needed rain and soft ground and instead got sunshine and firm going! These are the perils of Ante-Post betting I know, but it would have been nice to have gone there with a shout. His trainer is in great form with a current strike rate of 43% and everything had come together perfectly except the weather. Ah well we’ll press on. If any of you have backed him Ante-Post, get in touch with me and I’ll give you a tip from one of my contacts that is ready to go this weekend.
Questions need to be asked today such as who is the father of Mrs Taylor’s daughter in Postman Pat? That’s a serious issue! Does Greendale have the most diverse culture of any village in England? Why do you have to caution children on holiday as the sign says? Isn’t that unfair on them? What has happened to Miley Cyrus? Does Mrs Montanna know? And on a more serious note, what will win the Cambridgeshire? Well I can hopefully answer the last 1. Using the stats allied to form, we come up with Thair, the Godolphin representative. This horse was a quality 2 yo and won at Royal Ascot before running well in group races. He hasn’t achieved the heights expected of him so far this year, but he has twice run well at Newmarket, likes fast ground and will get the 9f trip standing on his head . He is still available at a massive 25s with any of these bookies: BetVictor, bet365 and William Hill, so get on him to win the 3.50pm at Newmarket.
Now at Market Rasen there are 2 valuable races that I think will be won by the same trainer – Lucy Wadham. She has clearly plotted a path for Watered Silk to win the 2.15pm and ensured his fitness with a run on the flat last week, leaving him spot on for today. He is available at 7s with BetVictor, bet365 and William Hill so we have a choice of bookies to go with. Then in the 2.50pm Lucy sends Wiesentraum, a horse who last year ran in to Cheltenham Festival winner Same Difference. He is at the right end of the Handicap, has had 2 pipe opener runs recently and looks nailed on to give a good account today. Take the 14s with BetVictor, sit back and enjoy the ride. 1 final mention at Market Rasen for Duroble Man making his hurdling debut. This is a horse that I recommended for jumping and I’m hoping my insight pays off. He could have a good career in this sphere.
