Ponte 4.30

Diamond dougal 9/1 ppower/sportsbook 8/1 888sport/lads 15/2 generally

Diamond dougal usually runs the same sort of race looked in better form early season at windsor winning off 89 and then running in an 0-105 second to reputation strangely those goings didn't look right for him on most of its form usually form has been with more cut..Am just wondering looking at recent runs wehther horse is just coming to the ed of its season as its last run was one of its poorest but wasn't beaten far even though 7th of 9 it just looked weaker than its previous two runs when 5th running on at ascot in a 0-95 and the 4th of 15 at haydock in a 0-95 again staying on..

At the moment the going is gd/gdfm there is supposed to be more forecast rain and would definitely need it as the market leaders prefer faster ground and diamond dougal has a poor draw in 9 although there is plenty of pace in the race which could be in its favour if the ground were to change..If the rains come and gets in the ground a couple of these will drift and diamond dougal even though poorly drawn should shorten won at 4/1 at windsor in this grade early season, off 89 tomorrow is off same mark but claimer takes  off another 5 so a mark of 84 could well go off 9/2 -5/1 so could be a decent trade in there weather will determine its price,the more it rains the more likey to contract.

A bit of rain,a very smelly drift 9/2 out to 8s huge drift in the last 10 mins before the off think it stunk a bit dropping in class the race alsi got ruined with tricky dicky getting take out no chance of coming from behind probably decided not to try from the 9 draw once that one was taken out.No way it shouldv'e been going off 8s in that race on betfair,hope you got a free bet because the drift was only last 10 mins,it was so obvious what was going to happen with that druft,fristrating  but still one to follow..
