Monday 12/4/10

Phil Mickleson's class shone through last night to give me a decent finish to the week and leave my week's total at -2 pts. This total is disappointing considering I was +10 points at some stages through the week but potentially there were too many betting opportunities and I couldn’t focus myself well enough. Still -2 is not a travesty and the new week starts today with some interesting cards at Fakenham and Windsor. After last weeks plethora of sport there is a bit of a hangover this week.

With a lot of these early meetings on the flat and especially the maidens I like to side with the gambles and get behind big market movers, with not a lot of form to go on I think this is the most rewarding plan of action. My first bet will be in the 2.20 at Windsor, there has been a lot of morning support of Zeberdee the Hannon runner. Hannon tends to start the season well and has a great strike rate with Richard Hughes on board. He is the most well bred horse in the race and I’m hoping can get my week off to a good start. 2 pt win Even money.

My second bet of the day comes in the 14.00 at Folkestone the 2 yr old maiden, where there has been a big market move on Cocohatchee after a first show of 20-1 the best price available now is 9/1. 1 pt e/w.

Be lucky!

UPDATE

Good start to the week Cocohatchee ran well into a place at Folkestone whilst Zeberdee won at Windsor thanks to a tremendous ride from Richard Hughes. Making todays total +3 and dragging the running total into the PROFIT just at +1.
