Friday 9th April

Two bet’s at Aintree today. The first is Menorah in the 2.00Hurdle, a lot of people will be asking questions whether the race at Cheltenham took too much out of the horse but looking through the horses form it’s previous best win this year was at Kempton on boxing day after only a 15 day layoff after its previous run. Throughout the year he has been in the top two in all his races showing good consistancy, the only question mark is after 6 big races this season could a 7th been one too many.

I'm willing to have a punt on him at sp price (6/4 at the moment may drift) think the layers might get involved into this one after a good start yesterday. 3 point win at sp.

My second bet of the day is in one of the most competitive races in the festival in the Melling Chase at 3.10. Is an e/w shot on Monet’s Garden at 8-1. Importantly he has been left and primed for this race missing the Cheltenham festival. Also if the form does check out from the festival his last run is huge beating Albertas Run at Ascot whom beat other contenders such as Poquelin. He isn’t the most consistent performer but has decent Aintree form and if he rediscovers his Ascot from he could hose up. At 8-1 is worth an each way punt in a very competitive race where they all have claims.

3 point win Menorah 2.00 Aintree sp
1 point e/w Monet’s Garden 3.10 Aintree 8-1

Be lucky!
