Long time for me to be off the blog.
The truth is, I've had such a good January that, when things started to tail off a little for me, I've completely restricted my bets.
I think that I may loosen the purse strings a little to see how we go.
Towards that end I will have one main go today:
Benny Baloo - 4.35 Market Rasen 3/1 Win
I previously wrote in my notes:
"A full brother to Betty Baloo, three -time 3m chase winner, this is, clearly, bred to chase and certainly put in a promising run.
Ridden patiently but travelling well, he started to pick up the home straight without really challenging the leaders. Come the line, though, there was pleasing headway being made to signify that we can have a little fun with this one. 3m certainly looks the drill. Jumped well here, I thought. The fences are pretty unforgiving here.
Won next time out (3m g/sft) Won 3/1"
He's out again today and I have a feeling that the better ground will suit more than the soft that he encountered last time. Certainly his full sisters, Lulu Baloo and Betty Baloo preferred more top of the ground (g or g/sft). Benny B is just 8Lbs higher tan his last win by 9L (over c/d on g/sft), so it's possible there's more to come.
I took 3/1 and am hoping that he'll oblige.
Elsewhere, I'll do a little ew L15 but I share this only FYI since today throws out typical midweek mediocrity:
Blue Ribbon - Taunton 3.20
Geryville - 3.25 Market Rasen
Neon Moon - 4.20 Taunton
Grandee - Wolverhampton 5.30.
Good luck.
