Saturday 31st May Pinnacle Stakes Bet !!!

 2.05 HAYDOCK 1MILE 4F GROUP 3 PINNACLE STAKES:
11 runners declared for 12 furlong group three Pinnacle Stakes.This looks high quality group three contest for fillies & mares on ground described as soft .On official ratings the three main contenders look to be Cubanita , Astonishing & Moment In Time.

CUBANITA : Likeable five year old mare,ran some excellent races last season ,including winning the group three St Simon Stakes at Newbury,beating Nichols Canyon in good style on testing ground .Also won the group three John Porter stakes on her first start this season, beating the useful Noble Mission by neck .Looked non stayer last time in Yorkshire Cup ,when finishing unplaced behind Celestial Choir .Will be suited by soft ground and returning to this more suitable trip .

ASTONISHING :Improving four year old filly ,won twice last season,including bolting up in 12 furlong listed race at Newmarket by 7 lenghs in September.Ran fair 3 lengh fourth behind Cubanita in John Porter last time ,should come on for that run ,though is unproven on soft ground .

MOMENT IN TIME :Won twice last season ,including winning this race last year on fast ground .Been slightly disappointing in three starts at Meydan this season ,though has good record here at Haydock including finishing good second in group two Lancashire Oaks over C&D .Handles any ground and holds solid each-way claims .

VERDICT : CUBANITA stands out here on her John Porter form, and will take plenty of beating  taking on lesser rivals in fillies & mares race, with ground conditions also in her favour .Odds around 3-1 look more than fair .

Moment In Time rates as main danger ,she seems different horse here at Haydock having run two of her best races at the track and has solid each-way claims .

Sunday 25th May Weekly Results Round Up

Decent week for the blog with £300.00 profit ,the weeks only bet Seek The Fair Land winning the 7 furlong claiming stakes at Lingfield on Wednesday  at 5-1.

Seek The Fair Land was big drifter in the market available at top price 3-1 in morning,though opened on course at 7-1 before being supported into 5-1 just before the off .

Having backed the horse at 3-1 best odds guarantee in morning,was very surprised the horse drifted that much,especially being five time course winner at track.

This turned into strange race with the second favourite Kimbali very reluctant to race losing all chance at start, and Cash is King rearing up as stalls opened.The odds on fav Capaill Leath under Richard Hughes was in trouble a long way out and could never land a blow,finishing well beaten fifth. 

Seek The Fair Land was always well placed just behind the leaders and came to challenge two furlongs out ,though took time to pick up ,before staying on well to lead close home .

Sadly no bets for the blog over the weekend, with so much rain about  ,decided not to get involved this weekend with so many non runners .Hopefully the weather will improve as we head towards June.

Wednesday 21st May Claiming Stakes Bet

For the blogs best bet on Wednesday we are back on All Weather at Lingfield for 7 furlong claiming stakes at 4.00 .

9 runners declared for 7 furlong claimer on poly track at Lingfield .The three main contenders are Seek The Fair Land ,Capaill Liath & Kimbal

4.00 LINGFIELD 7 FURLONG CLAIMING STAKES CLASS 6:
SEEK THE FAIR LAND : Course specialist winning five times at Lingfield .Won twice this year both in claiming company over 7 furlongs .Finished fair second in 6 furlong handicap at Lingfield behind Desert Strike earlier this month off mark 74 .Slightly disappointing last time though that was on the turf .Obvious claims now dropping back into claiming company at his favourite course .

CAPAILL LIATH : Consistent sort , won three times last season ,twice in claiming company .Been in fair form this season without winning  ,finishing placed three times in handicap company .Finished fair third in 7 furlong  handicap at Thirsk on Saturday .Looks well treated on official ratings  .

KIMBALI : Won 7 furlong handicap at Wolverhampton in November beating Barbados Bob by half-lengh off mark 65 .Returned to form on Monday finishing second in 1 mile seller behind Swift Cedar ,though this looks stronger race and often very slowly away .

VERDICT : Capaill Liath will be popular here with Richard Hughes looking eyecatching jockey booking.Has put in three creditable efforts on turf in handicap company this season.However has yet to convince here at Lingfield (0 from 5 )and was well beaten on his last two starts at the track in claiming company.At short odds looks worth opposing.

SEEK THE FAIR LAND  can return to winning ways and record his sixth win at the track.Returning to claiming company for first time since winning 7 furlong claimer at Kempton in March .Also had main rival Capaill Liath behind when winning 7 furlong claimer over C&D in February .Odds around 3-1 look very fair value in weak race .

Sunday 18th May Weekly Results Round Up

After short break  for the blog ,it was nice to come back on Saturday with 7-2 winner, with Mount Athos winning Aston Park  listed Stakes in good style at Newbury for £218.00 profit on the day.

After few disappointing results at the end of March and start of April ,decided to take short break from the blog, before the flat season gets into full swing .

April and start of May are always tricky months on the flat, with lot of the top quality horses not fully tuned up this early in the season .Finding strong  bets in non handicap races is never easy this early in season.

As we head into final two weeks in May ,we should start to see few more bets for the blog, with some quality racing next week at Goodwood, Haydock & Curragh .

WEEKLY RESULTS ROUND UP :


ON THE WEEK :
1 BET ) 1 WINNER ) PROFIT £218.00

Aston Park Stakes bet!!

After taking little break the blog returns on Saturday for decent looking card at Newbury with highlight the group one Lockinge Stakes over 1 mile at 3.50

This doesn't  look the strongest looking group one race and Olympic Glory is clearly the one beat on last years QE11 form ,though would probably prefer softer ground and at around 11-10 mark on his first start of the season is not betting proposition for me .

For the blogs main bet we concentrate on 1 mile 5 furlong Aston Park listed stakes at 2.05 .

2.05 NEWBURY JLT ASTON PARK LISTED STAKES 1 MILE 5 FURLONGS:
10 runners declared for decent looking listed contest over extended 13 furlongs on ground described as good .The three main contenders look to be Forgotten Voice , Mount Athos & Sky Hunter .

FORGOTTEN VOICE : Fair sort for Jeremy Noseda back in 2009 ,including winning Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot ,returned to form over hurdles back in 2012/13 for Nicky Henderson .Also Won twice on flat last season including G3 Glorious Stakes at Goodwood in August .

MOUNT ATHOS : Decent performer when getting sound surface, winning 8 times from 30 starts .Had some useful form last season including winning G3 Ormande stakes at Chester by 9 lenghs also finished very creditable third in Melbourne Cup .Ran with credit at Meydan in March finishing close third in City Of Gold G2 stakes .

SKY HUNTER : Won four times for Andre Fabre back in 2012/13 ,also finished excellent third in French Derby behind Intello .Very disappointing on his first start for Saeed Bin Suroor, finishing well beaten fifth behind Noble Mission in Gordon Richard stakes in April  .

VERDICT : MOUNT ATHOS taking drop in class can return to winning ways in JLT Aston Park stakes .Looked as good as ever when finishing close third behind Excellent Result in G2 at Meydan in March .Looks more than capable taking this listed contest ,with drying ground conditions also in his favour .Odds around 3-1 look fair value .

Forgotten Voice looks the main danger, had some decent form last season for Nicky Henderson,including winning in G3 company and normally goes well fresh .
