I'm experimenting with a couple today.
I don't usually look at the non-terrestrial stuff, all-weather or ordinary Sunday racing but am having a pop at the two more valuable races at Chelmsford.
Blown By Wind has carried my cash more than once this season but lost all chance at the start before finishing well. He's 11/1 today but I reckon that's like 1/10 he'ss mess up again at the stalls and I'm not convinced that's the case. at some point MJ will sort out this issue and he will take advantage of a lenient mark.
Firepower makes his 3yo debut against a couple of improvers but who are rising up up the ratings. Their curve will flatten soon. There has to be a chance that Firepower, who was running in Group races at two is better than a 90 handicapper. There's obviously been a reason behind the extended absence but what if he'd had a normal campaign? He might have started six months ago, ignoring lockdown obviously, and risen through the ranks himself. There are still a couple of decent sprint handicaps in the last couple of months of the season that he can aim for and he'll probably need to be higher than 90 to get in. At 12/1 today it's worth a small risk, as is the double.
Champion jockey Brian Hughes trundles off to Plumpton for the one ride on Jamacho in the 2:50 as he bids for a five timer. Carrying another penalty but Charlie Longsdon has another couple of runners on the card with a competent claimer up so he doesn’t seem too bothered about taking some weight off him. Drifting a bit in the market, though - 5/2 to 7/2 - which is a bit of a concern and may put me off if it keeps going.
Couple of experimental ew's @ Leicester:
2.00 First Lott 7/1
2.55 Rio Ronaldo 22/1
(Would've had a go at the 3.05, but the fav looks a laydown).
I think Willie John is worth a go at Goodwood. This is a step down in class and his best form has been at this track. Oppo seems tres ropey certainly in comparison to the rivals he faced in the Golden Mile.
I was thinking along similar lines last night, Euro, but ended up leaving the race alone.
Golden Mile was a much stronger pace than is likely here, and the bulk of his form is over further. He'll be outpaced at some stage, imo.I think Willie John is worth a go at Goodwood.
